I watched two PERFECTLY BAD movies last night: 

COFFY (1973) 

FOXY BROWN (1974) 

These are both bad in every way I describe "bad" in a movie, perhaps mostly "bad" for you.  Bad subject matter, bad script, bad acting... and yet, enormously entertaining (titillating and I ain't talking just PAM)!   Both of these movies are well shot and sometimes superbly directed (for a director that KNOWS his audience) but equally lurid, sleazy, exploitative... COFFY might be my 2nd favorite movie but I can't claim it's a masterpiece, in fact, it's trash!  I'm like Manny the rat in CHARLOTTE'S WEB ...Get me a big spoon! 

If you want to view paradise . . . simply look around and view it!

Point Break (1991) - it is a highly respected action cult movie but there is so much unintentional funny stuff going on for me that I can't help but to laugh whenever I watch Point Break. I know I'm on my own with this and that's ok. It is a bad acting Keanu Reeves movie who gets abused throughout the film. It is quite hilarious when you keep that in mind.
The bank robbery surveillance footage scene is bad cinema goodness. How can you not be amused by it? Especially since they are so sincere and serious about it.
Is it October yet?

Not counting anything from Ed Wood, these would be my picks...

DRAMA: The Room (2003), a bit basic of an entry but most other bad drama movies are just pretentious and boring

COMEDY: Sex Pot (2012), I'll admit that I only watched this movie at first to see Christine Nguyen naked. But it still was funny in a dumb stoner sort of way

ROMANCE: The Guest House (2011), Ever wonder what it would be like if you mixed the vibes of Hallmark Channel Original Movie with a very mild Skinemax softcore flick and gave it a sappy plot about lesbians? This is what you'd get.

ACTION - MARTIAL ARTS: The Dragon Lives Again (1977), If Fanfiction.net existed in the 70's, this movie would be a fic in the site's crossover section.

ACTION - WAR: Operation Nam (1986), One of the more underrated later entries in the "Macaroni Combat" subgenre of flicks IMHO

GANGSTER: Gigli (2003), Need I say more on this one?

WESTERN: Cut Throats Nine (1972), The sleaziest and most grimdark Western ever made

SCI-FI - CLASSIC: Attack of the 50 Foot Woman (1958), A film so iconic yet so poorly made. It spawned a slew of imitators and did for the giantess kink what Robin Hood and Sonic the Hedgehog did for furries.

SCI-FI - SPACE: Star Crash (1978), Still a better Star Wars film than anything Disney ever made.

SCI-FI - DYSTOPIAN: The Bronx Warriors (1982), The best two-for-one mockbuster you could ever see

HORROR - SLASHERS: Sleepaway Camp IV: The Survivor (1992/2012), Yeah it's a glorified clip show but I still liked it as a guilty pleasure and as a "What Could Have Been?" sort of deal

HORROR - ZOMBIES: Hell of the Living Dead (1980), Bruno Mattei's magnum opus in my humble opinion

HORROR - VAMPIRES: Embrace The Darkness II (2002), This movie is the answer to the question "What if the guys who made Vampire: The Masquerade did a sleazy erotic thriller?"

HORROR - EXTREME: The Necro Files (1998), Words cannot do justice for this bizarre work of shot-on-video VHS sleaze

HORROR - DEMONS: Manos: The Hands of Fate (1966), Another basic pick but it earned its reputation

ADULT - SOFTCORE COMEDY: Ghost in a Teeny Bikini (2006), IMHO this is Fred Olen Ray's best movie in his post-2000 output and is both hilarious, campy, and full of nudity

ADULT - SOFTCORE THRILLER: Poison Ivy 3: The New Seduction (1997), It's a glorified remake of the first film on an even smaller budget, but with actual nudity. Twice the sleaze with none of the class.

ADULT - HARDCORE: The Geek (1971), Sleazy Bigfoot film with one of the lamest yet unintentionally funny endings in history

ADULT - ROUGHIE/EXTREME: The Taming of Rebecca (1982), This movie fails miserably at being arousing unless you're The Corridor Killer but it works as a messed up psychotic horror flick with a few moments of unintentional comedy whenever George Payne hams it up or whenever blatantly unlicensed music is playing during unfitting moments.

What is a "perfect" bad movie? To me, it's a movie that fails in every way possible but is still strangely watchable. It's the kind of movie that you can't help but marvel at, even as you're cringing in disbelief. Perfect bad movies are few and far between, but when they come along, they're an unforgettable experience.


One perfect bad movie that comes to mind is The Room, which is often hailed as the worst movie ever made. The acting is atrocious, the writing is painfully on-the-nose, and the plot makes absolutely no sense. And yet, for all its flaws, The Room is strangely captivating. It's the kind of movie that you can't help but watch again and again, trying to wrap your brain around its inherent strangeness.


Another perfect bad movie is Plan 9 from Outer Space, which is widely considered to be one of the worst films of all time. Plan 9 is a mess from start to finish, with shoddy effects, wooden acting, and a plot that doesn't make a whole lot of sense. But like The Room, there's something about Plan 9 that keeps you coming back for more. Maybe it's the film's charming innocence or its campy sense of fun. Whatever the reason, Plan 9 from Outer Space is a perfect bad movie - and one that I highly recommend checking out.

I had that with Godfrey Ho's Robo Vampire
"Once you get past a certain threshold, everyone's problems are the same: fortifying your island and hiding the heat signature from your fusion reactor."
