Best "bad" movies
What's your favorite "bad" movie? Two that immediately come to mind are "Dolemite" and "Road House," two flicks that are so bad they're good.
When I say bad movies, I'm not talking about intentionally bad movies, so things like "Grindhouse" and comedies like "The Naked Gun" or "Airplane" do not qualify. These have to be legitimately bad films that someone thought would make some money and have poor production values or especially bad acting.
Heh...Joe, John King loves himself some Star Trek II. But yeah, "Khaaaaaan!" is awesome for a whole different reason.
Also: Ricardo Montalban was in not one, but TWO Apes movies -- the 3rd and 4th.
Anyone seen any of the From Dusk Til Dawn sequels? I hear they're awwwful.
The Wiz...all the way... Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Lena Horne, Richard Pryor...does it get any more star-studded for a Bad Movie?!

Bring It On. Cheesy and horrible through and through. But I can't help but love it . . . despite my hatred of Kirsten Dunst.

John King, I think I saw the first "Dusk" sequel...it had Robert Patrick, right?
I honestly don't remember much about it, though.
How about John Carpenter's classic "Escape from New York"? Kurt Russell did a great job of channeling Clint Eastwood in that wonderful flick.

I recently saw "Plan 9 From Outer Space," and I could not stop laughing. It was marvelously horrible. At one point, in a graveyard, as an actor exits he accidentally kicks over one of the headstones. That's a must-see for anyone.

DROP DEAD FRED. Omg, I love that movie. Such silliness!

Okay...here's one: Friday the 13th, Part 5: A New Beginning. Has some of the funniest bad-movie scenes ever.
1). The backwoods mom and son who own the land around the "home" where Tommy Jarvis (the kid who battled Jason in parts 4-6) is sent. They are HILARIOUS in all of their scenes. 2). The trailer park couple who are oh so 80s, and the resulting duet/death scene they have in and out of the trailer park's outhouse (including one of the best-delivered lines in cinematic history, as the man is doing his number 2 and his girlfriend rattles the outhouse, he said "you're gonna get it, b---h!). 3). The backwoods son's death scene by meat cleaver as he's manically riding his motorcycle around the yard after Tommy beat him up.
If you've never seen part 5, you need to do the silly part of yourself a favor and rent it. Tonight.

1994's "Clifford" with Martin Short, Charles Grodin, Mary Steenburgen, and Dabney Coleman. Martin Short plays a 10-year-old boy. Charles Grodin has a bad toupee...so does Dabney Coleman.
Oh no! That is my LEAST favorite movie EVER! I remember sitting in the movie theater with my parents wondering how I could escape! Kind of funny now.
However, my vote for the best bad movie is the 1960 version of HG Wells' The Time Machine. Its fantastic in a Mystery-Science-Theater-3000 kind of way.

Has anyone seen Eraserehead? I Beleive It's a David Lynch, or the other guy, Frost? I think. Weird flick.

Don't get me wrong I like david Lynch Movies Blue Velvet was way weird cool, and Twin Peaks was arite, maybe it was because I was a lil tyke when I saw it.
Eraserhead was Lynch's first movie. And, yeah, weird, but I don't think it deserves to be on this list, necessarily.
Death Race 2000,Plan 9 from Outer Space,Battle beyond the stars,Roger Corman's Fantastic Four..well anything by Roger Corman
