I have to talk myself out of watching this movie every time I happen upon it. So many terrible scenes that invoke hysterical laughter.


The best in the category of worstness:

Bug Busters (Starring: Randy Quaid)

If it is 'movies that are funny because they are terrible' you're after, these two are royalty.

i thought we were all supposed to meet up at lemmings? i didn't see any of y'all!

1. Bad taste (by Peter Jackson)
2. Brain dead ( same director as above)
3. Evil dead
4. Night/Dawn/Day of the dead (Italian trash classics, not even Romero could beat those!)
5. Man called Rainbo ( cult trash early 80's Stallone film found in a trash-can and then cut-up without the knowledge of the actor).
6. Meet the feebles ( P. Jackson movie, too. any of his 80's films fits this category)

If "Loverboy" starring Patrick Dempsey (as a young pizza-delivering lothario) appears on my television, I'm pretty well screwed for the next hour and a half.

Also, I can't turn away from "Just One Of The Guys", that 1980s teen movie where the girl dresses like a guy only to look like a girl who has dressed like a guy. Breathtaking. Bonus points for this retardedly pronounced line uttered doing the film's resolution: "And who am I? Cyndi Lowww-per?"

This is hilarious. I had a VHS dub of it and lost it. The original movie is called Rebel, I think.

Earlier this year there was a 2-week span where the movie Vision Quest was being shown on one station or another pretty much daily. I must have tuned in at least 7 times. And I honestly can’t say whether I enjoyed watching so much because it was so perfectly bad or because it was actually truly good. I know this, Matthew Modine was fucking great in this film. I don’t care who won the Oscar for male lead that year, but there is no way his performance was better than Matthew Modine's as Louden Swain.

Bonus points for:
1. Goosebump forcing use of Red Rider's "Lunatic Fringe".
2. Louden's older co-worker's inspirational speech detailing a remembered moment of pure beauty when witnessing a Pele bicycle kick, wherein the old guy passionately utters something along the lines of, "I cried. That's right kid, I cried."

Crash- so bad that it becomes good and then becomes bad again

oh yeah, one cant forget about Salo.

"heavyweights" with ben stiller. fuck yeah

more:

deuce bigelow male gigilo (lil bobby schneider revivited his role on men behaving badly rather well)

what women want (i hate all the principals in this film but i couln't stop watching it. "he is a loathesome, offensive brute. yet i can't look away" -credit to the tv show seinfeld)

savannah smiles (my sister subjected me to this film many, many years ago and to this day it still weasels its way back into my brain to the point where i can quote whole passages from it)
