Bad Movies as a Gift

[BTB]

I always did not only like to watch bad Movies, but to also make bad gifts. And sometimes, if Isee a rather special offer I use Movies forsuch an occasion . Recently I stumbled about an Offer that for 2 Bucks had ,Earthquake in New York" an imdb rating of 3.8 , Gangland (2.4)  Dracula with Jack Palance (6..8 ?)
and last and least ( I always wanted to say that) Cyborg Cop (3.0) in a new cut ?

Of Course my friend was delighted to get such a beautiful gift.

So I wanted to ask you, if you shared a similar grace among your beloved ?

I haven't given them as gifts, but I do send out emails and call friends with the titles of b-movies they need to see.  But that would be a fun present to get or give.

I have never given a bad movie as a present, but I frequently give bad movie memorabilia.  I gave my ex an original lobby poster for the adult classic Pizza Girls.  It was evidently quite rare as I can't even find a scan of it on Google (box cover below, though).  I also gave my sister a Hebrew movie poster for Serial Mom a few years back.

I have received bad movies as gifts though.  A friend gave me this OJ Simpson workout tape for Saturnalia one year.

The Pizza Girls Poster is beautiful, me I tortured a friend with a poster of Home alone in New York which I installed in his bathroom. God I would have love to see his face when he discovered it.

Me and some of my friends have a monthly bad movie night.

We always get each other bad movies each year for christmas.  Plus, they're usually bargain bin type stuff that only cost a dollar so no one is out much money.

Last year, I got a DVD of trailers from Something Weird Entertaiment called "Extra Weird Sampler".  It's got about 4 hours of stuff from their catalog and I'm sure that the trailers are much more entertaining than the films themselves.

Did give a friend a copy of Zardoz and never was attacked for doing it...

One Christmas, I received a two-VHS tape set of Night of the Living Dead from my younger brother.  The package has this wonderful and season-appropriate red-and green theme.  (The second tape was a 12-minute feature,  the parody Night of the Living Bread.)  We did indeed watch the film on Christmas morning as part of our rejection of the secular corporate "buy this and buy this now" build-up to the holiday.  Oddly, our mom didn't mind; I guess she was too used to our oddities.  That was a good time.

The set probably cost my brother five bucks, but I will never be rid of it, even though I own the Millenium Edition DVD.

That started a long tradition of what we call "gag-presents," somewhat tasteless but oddly meaningful gifts for our birthdays or Christmas.

I'm thinking about continuing that tradition on my brother's next birthday by forcing him to watch Coffey, with Pam Grier.

Heh.

You would't have to force Pam Grier on me!( Slobber,drool,drip....)!!!

I recall one Christmas, when a friends and I did a grab bag thing.  I ended up with the guy who had me.  He gave me the American Godzilla, I gave him Hercules in New York.
