Objectively bad movies you still love

[TheOriginalHappyGoat]

I think I've shared my thoughts on Braveheart and Jurassic Park enough times, but Deep Impact is on late night cable, and it's in the same category.

What are your unabashedly guilty pleasure movies?

 

[Torbin.Bequette]

Cotton Candy

 

[Lucy01]

Lake Placid.

 

[larsIU]

Deep Blue Sea (Who put these motherf*&king sharks on this motherf*&cking underwater research station!)
Under Siege
Death Race

I have a soft spot for good actors doing bad movies well.

 

[SqueakyClean]

I've allways had a particular like of Joe Versus the Volcano. Good use of symbolism.

Big Trouble in Little China is the GOAT

 

[Ohio Guy]

I'm a sucker for Zucker Brothers movies.

Everyone knows about the Naked Gun and Airplane movies, but I also love Top Secret and Brain Donors. Brain Donors came out when I was in high school and I remember wondering why it wasn't more popular. I thought it was hilarious. Still do.

Another movie that is sort of a guilty pleasure of mine is Dirty Work, starring Norm MacDonald. If you're a Norm fan and haven't seen it, it's worth a watch.

On that tangent, there was a stretch where SNL alums were making really funny movies. Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, Tommy Boy, Wayne's World and Dirty Work were all made in the mid-to-late 90s.

 

[Marvin the Martian]

The Adam West Batman movie.

Plan 9 is fun, for the wrong reasons, but fun.

 

[BCCHoosier]

Roadhouse. Pain don't hurt.

Midway and Battle of the Bulge

Roadhouse and Point Break are the gold standard

Roadhouse and Point Break are the gold standard

This is true. I’d like to throw out Cocktail. I challenge anyone here to summarize the plot of that awesomely terrible movie.

I know you can get the job, but can you do the job!

My absolute fav is still Strange Brew.

The original War of the Worlds and The Time Machine are dated and hokey, but I'll always watch them again when I get a chance.

 

[BCCHoosier]

From the 1970s, the movie Convoy.

I love love love Norm, but he always said he was a really bad actor, and he was right.

Did you ever hear his bit when he talks about working with Woody Harrelson and a foreign director in a movie? If you haven't, check it out.

Good topic....have you ever done a most-overrated and most-underrated on movies?

 

[SqueakyClean]

I know you can get the job, but can you do the job!

There are actually several quotable lines from that movie that I inundate my family with frequently.

"I have no response to that". (I do that one frequently.)
"Luggage. It is the central preoccupation of my life". (Said anytime we get ready to go on vacation, and upon return): "Wherever we go, and whatever we do, we're going to take this luggage with us."
(Occasionally when my wife says "I love you.", I respond with): "I love you too. It's great. I'm happy......but the timing sucks."
"Brain Cloud"
"Do you think I feel good? Nobody feels good. After childhood, it's a fact of life. I feel rotten. So what? I don't let it bother me"
(and anytime we go camping and are out amongst the stars, I break out) "Away from the things of man, my love. Away from the things of man."

He said "bad" movies. Not the cinematic master pieces like Big Trouble.

Those are all great movies. You ever see Johnny Dangerously?

The Room

Water World is my favorite big budget flop.

Dan Hedaya was an absolute genius.

The Room

Water World is my favorite big budget flop.

Those two were the first that came to my mind too.

I’ll add TMNT 2: Secret of the Ooze and Joe Dirt.

 

[larsIU]

From the 1970s, the movie Convoy.

The wife and I watched that less than a year ago. Awesome.

Pretty much anything with Kris Kristofferson works for me.

Zoolander but with a bar instead of modeling

Objection your honor: on the grounds of Blade 2 and Millenium

Noted. I may fight you on Blade 2.

Never seen Millenium but will now avoid it to not besmirch the great man.

 

[El Drado]

Kentucky Fried Movie.... the Catholic High School Girls In Trouble skit......... at 12..........

Samuel L. Bronkowitz was truly an underappreciated filmmaker.

 

[Ohio Guy]

I think I did, but it was probably when it was on HBO or something like that in the 80s at my parents' house. It's probably worth watching again.

Every Which Way But Loose and Any Which way you can.

Hard not to feel some affection for Ma and the Ape.

 

[UncleMark]

Dirty Dancing

 

[anon_6hv78pr714xta]

Does Rocky IV count?

 

[SqueakyClean]

I don't know anybody who would consider Dirty Dancing or Rocky IV "Bad" movies. I mean, we don't have to drop down to Gigli / Ishtar level, but at least pick movies where you can get 50% of the public to say it's a bad movie.

 

[larsIU]

Does Rocky IV count?

Better question. Does any Rocky movie after the first two count?

 

[mrhighlife]

Those two were the first that came to my mind too.

I’ll add TMNT 2: Secret of the Ooze and Joe Dirt.

I quote The Room on almost a daily basis. Pure gold.

 

[mrhighlife]

Does Rocky IV count?

Count as arguably the greatest sports movie of all time? F-ck yeah it does.

"...if I can change, and you can change, everybody can change!"

 

[mrhighlife]

Dirty Dancing

Now that's a guilty pleasure! Mine in that vein would be Mean Girls.

 

[CO. Hoosier]

Does Rocky IV count?

No but Rocky VIII might.

 

[IUclover]

Same. My wife hates it. I do the Tommy laugh and say “Where’s my little princess?” in his accent.

The Disaster Artist is equally funny.
