what´s your favourite bad film?

[ris]

i'm sure that, like me, most people have a whole batch of movies they adore but are, infact, crap.

and i'm not talking the kind of entertaining crap that hollywood turns out [the latter lethal weapon films, for example], but genuine bad plot, bad acting, bad script - the whole lot.

take 'the adventures of ford fairlane, the rock and roll detective'. who in their right mind gave money to make this when even the title is naff?

or, 'the return of captain invincible', a sub b-movie musical with alan arkin and christopher lee with such great lyrics as 'find that hypno-ray, hip hip hooray' eek

personally i adore both of them, low budget and low quality but high on laughs and pissed-up, with your mates viewing

so...who can better andrew dice clay's movie outing as a hollywood private eye?

[Leslie]

I don't have any movies as such, but a cheesy tv show I love and watch whenever I can find it is RED DWARF, a show about a guy on a spacecraft floating through space after the earth is gone. HILARIOUS!!!!!!!! :D

[Justintime]

Well Leslie, since that show originated inthe UK (i believe) he should know it :D

i must say Superman IV was cheesy but i like it :D

[ris]

red dwarf series 1 and 2 were fab, it went a bit downhill for me from there really. i'm looking forward to the film when it comes out [i'm sure they were working on one]

what a about blackadder? they were fantastic

well, duh! I was describing for the benefit of my neighbours down south who may not have had the pleasure! :)

Blackadder is fabulous too, we're just getting it now. We have made a takeoff on it called Blackfly, hilarious too with Colin Mochrie from Who's Line is it Anyway (I believe you guys had that first too will we NEVER make original good tv? :( ) It is based in Colonial Canada (if we had such a thing) and moves around in different periods. Hilarious too. :D

Ice Pirates

hated Porky's

[Professur]

*cue cheesy music* ... of the killer to-ma-tos. *end cheesy musc*

I held a movie night featuring Attack and Return. By the intermission, I was the only one left awake.

Oh yeah, Blackadder is unbelievably funny. :D I've got all the episodes DivX'ed up off DVD. :)

Colin Mochrie as Blackfly, eh? Funny bastard, always loved his dinosaur impression. :D

MuFu.

[Leslie]

OOOH OOOH Mr Kottair, Airplane!!! is on UPN 38 right now for whoever gets the channel!!! :D :D

[Justintime]

long time i ain't seen that show, sweathogs rule :D

[Professur]

What channel Les?

[Leslie]

I don't know what your television is like there - it is on right now on WSBK upn38 one of the superstations you get here with the Movie Network etc.

[Professur]

321. Nevermind. I found it.

[Leslie]

You're on ExpressVu too?

[Professur]

Yeppers. Damn phone company. I work for Entourage(BCE). My ISP is Sympatico(BCE). And my TV is bloody BCE too.

[Leslie]

Small world! I worked for Bell in TO on the phones until the rugrats piled up. I also have ExpressVu and Sympatico, but not through loyalty, but through hatred of Rogers and Shaw for their abhorrent "customer service" So thats why you're driving all over hell's creation! Did you score one of the new vans, or still have one of the old yukky ones?

[Professur]

A puke yellow 99 caravan. No rack, cage, or beacon.

[Leslie]

I guess you have to sleep with Monty (I assume he's still the boss) to get the nifty blue ones?

[Professur]

I've got Adrien Pouliot as a boss. He sold videotron to buy entourage, Forcecom, and us (mir). And now, he just bought up a bunch of Videotron again.

[Leslie]

The BIG BOSS of BCE used to be Monty. We used to have to watch a weekly cocked up interview show starring him where they would spout about BCE and how wonderful it was. :P

They just said it on the movie. "And stop calling me Shirley" hahaha!

And on topic, there was a movie that for a couple of years seemed to be on almost every week. It was called Truly Madly Deeply, a story about how a spirit helps his still living girlfriend get over him and move on. I must have watched it about 50 times.

[Professur]

"There's a sale at Penney's"

ROFL.

[Leslie]

Roger, Roger :D

[Professur]

Air Isreal

[Leslie]

I just want to tell you both. Good luck. We're counting on you.

rofl

[Professur]

Damn. It's over.

[Leslie]

Yep. It was a good trip back though lol

[greenfreak]

Ever seen a grown man naked?

[Leslie]

rofl :D did you see it tonight?

without question that is the best written farce I've ever seen.

[tarez]

None of you have ever heard of this but its a local film...

WHen your dead and to stupid to know it!

Total cheap film that tried to be a kind of skin flick....it was alot better when you skipped the skin flick parts.....it was about three strippers from Las Vegas heading to atlanta or seomthign and get stuck in north dakota....lol then they battle sugar beet mutants...

to bad I didn't import that to my computer when i had it on tape.

[outside looking in]

Hmm... let's see:

Day of the Triffids
Plan 9 from Outer Space
Strange Brew (doesn't really deserve this list, this movie rocks)
Rubber Tarzan

[ris]

do you like films with gladiators?

:D :D


i love airplane, as a kid my dad had it on tape and i used to watch it over and over

[greenfreak]

Airplane is just a classic! Before the days where everyone worried about offending someone else. Remember the two guys and the lady talking Jive? They could never do something like that today.

No, Leslie, I didn't see it last night. I just remember alot of the lines, like alot of people do.

What do you make of this?
Well, I can make a hat, a broach, a teradactyl!

That guy was so funny.

[ris]

and leon's getting larger!

[nodnod]

I'm definately going to second strange brew. That movie always cracks me up just thinking about it. Especially the part where the dog flies.

[unclehobart]

Nah... Forget the flying. Its the part where he rolls up over the house that cracks me up.

[nodnod]

How 'bout them drinking beer underwater?

[Gato_Solo]

Ice Pirates...
Blue Iguana...
Buckaroo Banzai...

[Ardsgaine]

Buckaroo Banzai?? No way! That movie was too good to be on a good bad movie list! I mean, those were some great lines...

"Remember... no matter where you go... there you are."

"It's not my planet, Monkey Boy!"

"Big Bootay! Big Bootay!"

"Jesu Cristo!"

And the costumes... pure 80s. I love that movie... :headbang: :headbang:

[AlladinSane]

The Killer Tomatoes Eat France :D

[Luis G]

any austin powers shit......

[Shadowfax]

Rocky 5 sucks big time...
Oh, and the storyline in Commando wasn't that great either :D

[Scanty]

THE PEST!!!!

Has anyone seen this?
It's got John Leguizamo in the it (the guy who played Tybalt in Romeo+Juliet)

Fucking hilarious and utter shite.... :D

[HomeLAN]

Best bad movie of all time -

Evil Dead Two.

"Groovy."

That one was so freakin' bad I went to see the sequel in the theater - knowing it would suck.

[freako104]

so many to mention but i loved the beyond,evil dead trilogy,bad taste,night of the living dead,return of the living dead,kung pow enter the fist,thumb wars. oh and rocky horror picture show(esp with audience commentary)

[equinoxe3d]

Dungeons & Dragons here: an insult to any D&D player, and the most pathetic ripoff of Star Wars I've ever seen; hasn't caught up for me at all, especially when the venerable LotR movie was a few months before release...

[Monsieur DeLarge]

I'm going to be a bit picky here.

I thought the original point of the thread was to list movies which were unintentionally enjoyable, which instantly discounts the Evil Dead trilogy, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, Blackadder, and of course Airplane, which I agree is the funniest farce ever written.

Dr Rumack: "Can you fly this plane?"
Striker: "Surely you can't be serious?"
Dr Rumack: "I am serious, and don't call me Shirley."

Striker: "My orders came through. My squadron ships out tomorrow; we're bombing the storage depots at Daiquiri at 1800 hours. We're coming in from the north, below their radar."
Elaine: "When will you be back?"
Striker: "I can't tell you that? It's classified."

Dr Rumack: "You'd better tell the Captain we've got to land as soon as possible, we've got to get them to the hospital."
Elaine: "A hospital . . what is it?"
Dr Rumack: "It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now."

Dr Rumack: "What flying experience have you had?"
Striker: "I flew single engine fighters in the Air Force, but this plane has four engines. It's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether."
Dr Rumack & Elaine: "It's an entirely different kind of flying."

Kramer: "Striker, what kind of weather are you in up there?"
Elaine: "Rain!"
Striker: "And a little ice."
Elaine: "And a little ice."
Kramer: "How's it handling?"
Striker: "Sluggish, like a wet sponge."
Elaine: "Sluggish, like a wet sponge."
Kramer: "Alright, Striker, you're doing just fine."
Striker: "It's a damn good thing he doesn't know how much I hate his guts."
Elaine: "It's a damn good thing you don't know how much he hates your guts."

There's nothing so funny as a joke told with a straight face, and that film did it perfectly. The entire script can be found all over the internet, but I filched these quotes from here (http://www.cs.tufts.edu/~rkogan/humor/airplane.html)

And whatever happened to the lovely Julie Hagerty? Aside from Lost in America with Albert Brooks, I haven't seen her in anything else. I'll nip over to the IMDb (http://www.imdb.com) after this post and find oot, methinks.

Anyway, I'd like to nominate The Giant Spider Invasion, a late '70s horror film which featured only one giant spider, but you don't feel cheated because it was so funny - they made it by covering a VW Beetle in bearskin rugs, and if you don't believe me you better rent it.

a double post with a 23 min separation? thats gotta be some kind of record.

apparently it also insults gamers who dont play d/d. my friends and i are more into deadlands,and the white-wolf sysytem and my friends told me to avoid that movie. i hear it sucks major ass.

[AlladinSane]

i hear it sucks major ass.
Sure it does. A thief beating a more experienced fighter in a face-to-face fighting? Don't make me laugh... Oh and the dwarf is human-sized :rolleyes:

[freako104]

dwarfs as far as i know in the realm of d/d are smaller than humans and also the experinced fighter would have more skills and advantages and would therefore win. thats how it is in all the rpgs ive been in although ive never been in d/d. oh and just watched spiders that movie is sooooo bad its actully funny to watch.

[Leoslocks]

Anyone remember Trinity or Trinity is Still my Name

spagetti westerns that made me howl

[equinoxe3d]

apparently it also insults gamers who dont play d/d. my friends and i are more into deadlands,and the white-wolf sysytem and my friends told me to avoid that movie. i hear it sucks major ass.

Sorry, I should've said it's an insult to D&D, and all people loving fantasy :D

If you want something to laugh on, it might be worth a rent thought, if you're kind of masochist (sp?)

[freako104]

you spelled the word right but you forgot the IC at the end so it should read masochistic. now i am but in an s/m fashion in other words i woint watch it. and its all good just know that all people in general will hate it but gamers will have even more reason.

[whoreable]

Every Ernest movie. Jim varney ruled.

and pee-wee's big adventure.
