Ever watch way too many bad movies in a row? Not all in one sitting or anything, but just over a period of time.

This year I've gone on some absolute benders of bad movies. Arguably the worst stretch was between April and June when I watched dozens of the damned things over those months. Ray Dennis Steckler, Ed Wood, a gigantic chunk of Ted V. Mikels filmography. It was bad.

When I got Amazon Prime I watched a movie and marveled, "I can't believe how well shot this is."

That movie was Loqueesha.

When this happens I definitely need to cleanse my pallet. No one should ever be able to say a good thing about Loqueesha.

Yes, you definitely need to watch a decent-to-good movie every now and then to be able to appreciate bad movies.

Some of the terrible films made in SA in the 80s require dynamite as a pallet cleanser.

one weekend in 2010 I watched Epic Movie, Disaster Movie, Road Trip, Teenagers From Outer Space (MST3K), Zoolander, Manos: The Hands of Fate (MST3K), and Mitchell (MST3K) in that order
Kubrick, Nolan, Tarantino, Wan, Iñárritu, Scorsese, Chaplin, Abrams, Wes Anderson, Gilliam, Kurosawa, Villeneuve - the elite

I would speculate a large amount of alcohol might explain that...

Last year, my roommate and I set a personal goal; to watch all 50 movies in this Echo Bridge 50 pack of Sci Fi "Classics"   We watched all 50 in 50 days.   And we're still alive and sane.

Mind you it did help that there were 2 actual classic good films on the set.   
"Brother From another Planet" (and we actually started drinking our beer on the rocks ever since..  true story)
Primal Impulse (Footprints on the moon)"  1975

This is whe3re I was first exposed to "Death machines" (1976...not to be confused with Death Machine 1994) and Abraxis

Um, yeah. While "Alive" can be defined in some fairly concrete terms at least in the biological sense, "Sane" is a very relative term. So I was wondering what criteria you were using to claim sanity under and what empirical data you have to support that?

Dude! I love Zoolander! A couple of friends even called me Derek for a bit. Not sure if that's a compliment, though...  :wink:

the past ten years or so I seem to have morphed into a state of only wanting to watch bad movies. apart from my handful of all time favourite 'good' movies, I'm pretty much exclusively now interested in watching bad ones. I'm bored of epic, sincere, technically competent, well directed, challenging, thought provoking cinema. the magic of a well-meaning yet bumbling, clunky, awkward calamity on celluloid is way more appealing to me.
