No way Kung Fu Hustle!! Also didn't know about Shaolin Soccer.
Kung Pow! is also very worthy of watching. Absolutely hilarious and kinda bad too. Highly recommended 😀

The Princess Bride...

Kung Fu Hustle is probably one of my favourite films, at least one of my favourite Kung Fu films.
It shouldn't be on this list - it is an incredible film - I don't think it tries or pretends to be anything it isn't. It is the perfect tribute to the Kung Fu genre - it's hilarious, the filmography superb and the less than subtle effects are the icing on the cake. Love it.
On Deadly Ground - Steven Seagal has a spiritual moment in the Alaskan wilderness and becomes at one with the natives, then kicks the ass of the bad guys, of whom the chief one is Michael Caine.
Also from Michael Caine - Water, one of those cheap British movies of the 1980s before 4 weddings when the entire british film industry was bankrolled by George Harrison. He's briefly in this, more so Billy Connolly, and I think it was Leonard Rossiter's final role. A comedy set in a colonial outpost.
Howard the Duck!

Tremors is just great. No 'so bad it's good there'. The sequels though, very much so.
I'm going with 'Biggles: Adventures in time'
Doomsday, How i hate thee let me count the ways.
1. A virus so infectious they wall up scotland but then stop working on a cure. because politicians.
2. APC taken out with makeshift axe and arrow.
3. Good job we happened to have this handy steam train and it was ready for immediate departure.
4. So we took over the castle and thought **** it we will just abandon all technology.
5. So all the years you have been using this tunnel you never thought to look any further?
6. She asks what it does like she has never seen a car before but what about all the cars in Glasgow?
7. Wait a minute there hasn't been any rain this whole time its almost like this was filmed in another country....
8. Trained police baddass cant outrun loons in ropey old british leyland bangers on a straight road using a Bentley continental.
9. Villan reveals his entire plan in needless exposition.
10. Villan gets his inevitable comeuppance.
So with all this in mind why do i find it so watchable?

Burn this one it is defective
Pah, these are nothing!
I was at my sisters t'other day where she has Sky and I watched a film on the Syfy channel:
'Robocroc'
It was so utterly awful I laughed so much I weed a bit. Unfortunately I had to go to bed else I could have stayed up and watched 'Ghost Shark'.
MORTAL COMBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTT!
nealglover - MemberSHARKNADO !!
Brilliant film, worth watching for continuity errors. Straight out of a completely flooded house onto a bone dry road. Superb! Great effects as well.

Sausages! 😆

^^^ WHS. I'd put A Knight's tale and Starship Troopers in the same category, them folks are laughing heartily at themselves. 🙂
Beverley Hills Cops III
Anything by/starring JCVD.
Awesomely awful.
If forced to pick one, Hard Target.

Home Alone.
Cutesy little American kid, can't act, pulls stupid faces at camera; ridiculous cartoon violence; hideous schmaltzy ending .. but boy, sit there and watch with your 10 year old kid and try not to laugh out loud!

The Expendables, sir?
Daylight, 90's Sly Stallone film about a bunch of people trapped underground. Comedy gold from start to finish
Charlie's Angels, its crap on every level but really watchable for some reason
Rocky 1 - XII
Caddy shack (ok never awful...)
Top Gun
the latest bond movie
Killer Klowns form outer space.
Absolute Epic.
The Fifth ElementGTFO! Nothing about that film is awful.
Lee Evans ,the useless wee turd 👿
Bubba Ho-Tep.

The Princess Bride...
The thing is, The Princess Bride ticks the awful box quite well, but then takes it back through quite good and on to pure brilliance.
Bubba Ho-Tep?
That's a great film.
The Final Countdown
I watch this at least once a year, terrible film but I like seeing Tomcats shooting down Zeros.
I'm not sure what's going on in here, people seem to just be listing good movies 😀
Blade, Starship Troopers, Tremors, Predator - these are all genuinely good films!!
If you want bad-good - I watched "Pain & Gain" last weekend. ****ing genius... Marky Mark and The Rock, with Michael Bay directing. Absolutely brilliant.
Event Horizon - I know it's a bad, bad film but, if it comes on, I'll happily watch it all the way through 😕
Two Thousand Maniacs
C.H.U.D
Killdozer
Sorry still too many people listing good films, not just films that are so bad they're good.
The Princess Bride? Really? It's a classic, as is Event Horizon, Bubba Ho Tep is also great...
How about Return of the Killer Tomatoes... & Rubber, maybe even Nude Nuns with Big Guns...
No one mentioned The Room yet? Truly truly awful movie. Sudden and dramatic lines delivered in either totally over the top ways and never mentioned again or totally underplayed and never mentioned again. The highly cringe worth sex scenes. The penchant for playing football anywhere and at any time. And best of all, the star of the show, director, writing and actor Tommy Wiseau with is weird accent and awful acting. Truly a film that is so bad that it becomes brilliant.

Messiah wins, I'll close the thread now.
Horror and sci-fi channels on Sky are always good for a bad film you end up being drawn into when you have better things to do e.g Quater Mass and the Pit got me last week
Rocky [s]1[/s]2 - XII
fixed it for you.
Rocky (1) is never awful.
Rambo on the other hand...
A Life Less Ordinary
Everyone I know hates it, but I love it.
AdamW failed to mention that RoboCroc's cast was led by a bloke who used to be on the Bill (doing a bad American accent), the mother from E.T. and Keith Duffy from Boyzone.
I see your 'Sharknado' and raise you...

Dude, where's my Car?......classic!
Speed racer
A life less ordinary is great one of my favourite films.
Event Horizon has no place on this thread.
I watched Armageddon for the first time last week, I think it was just plain awful 😆
Sorry, but Ski School is a good film that's good so cannot possibly be included!
Street Trash, Killer Klowns From Outer Space and that Billy The Kid film, now that's all bad / good.
Im loving that They Live is up there, an awesome film
bizarely I was thinking about another Rowdy Roddy Piper film the other day, I thought itd be worth watching again
it wasnt......
Hell Comes to Frog Town
films that i actually do like even though they are silly
Under Siege
Demolition Man
Battlefield Earth
and how about Howard The Duck!
You know,
I [i]liked[/i] Howard the Duck. I think it got a wholly disproportionate panning, it's really not a bad little movie.
Demolition Man is not silly! Very astute, very witty. And that dress...
Dude wheres my car!
About half a dozen posts further up. HTH.
(-:
I saw this thread last night....I'm in the "Fifth Element is amazing" camp . The Princess Bride is a classic....
As most of the films mentioned have a masculine tilt ....
How about "the Devil Wears Prada" or "27 dresses", I love those! 😀
A Knight's Tale.
My wife caught me watching a Knights Tale not long ago and relentlessly took the piss for a good few days. I think it is the business.
got to nominate the Nicholas Cage 'National Treasure' movies.
you've got to enjoy the matter of fact way they approach such issues as hacking into Interpol and kidnapping the president of the usa. genius.
a good romp, nevertheless. 😀
Birdemic.
I'm surprised it took so long for someone to nominate Caddy Shack........a crap classic! And on a similar theme, how about Happy Gilmour? Another crap golfing movie, so bad, so bad 🙂
Happy Gilmour is my go-to movie when I just want to put my head in neutral, have a couple of beers and recharge my brain. It's not It's A WonderFul Life or Citizen Kane, but it's harmless enough with some good lines. 🙂
I think I'd have to veto its nomination as bad, as I don't think it's particulalry trying to be good. 🙂
Anything from [url= http://www.theasylum.cc/ ]The Asylum[/url] studio; where Sharknado, Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus, etc are made.
I've not seen any of them, but their knock-offs of Hollywood films have great titles, must watch some of them sometime;
= Transmorphers
= Snakes on a train
= The 18 year old virgin
= Alien Vs Hunter
Its marmite that's been stored in a jar of pickled onions, but I do put it on every now and then, its strangely hypnotic.

yeah, pretty much anything with Burt in it ^ guaranteed to be awful, but strangely watchable.
Crank (and crank 2 actually)...... had no right to be as good as it was.
Glad to see some love for 'golden era' Seagal. Luckily my wife loves them too.
There's another classic bit in On Deadly Ground where he beats the shit out of a guy in a bar then says 'what does it take to change the essence of a man' and makes him cry.
Star Ship Troopers - amazing how many people don't get it.
They Live - classic.
Most things with Stathe in are worth a watch - the Crank films are post-modern masterpieces!
This [url= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run_For_Your_Wife_(2012_film) ]film[/url] (with Danny Dyer) got universally panned the reviews are bloody hilarious:
Run for Your Wife met with such overwhelmingly negative reviews upon release that the reviews themselves were widely reported in the UK media.[5] The film was variously described as "a catastrophe", "as funny as leprosy" and "30 years past its sell-by-date", with The Guardian reviewer Peter Bradshaw saying that it "makes The Dick Emery Show look edgy and contemporary".[6] The Independent's Anthony Quinn wrote, "The stage play ran for nine years - it (the film) will be lucky to run for nine days. Perhaps never in the field of light entertainment have so many actors sacrificed so much dignity in the cause of so few jokes… From the look of it, Cooney hasn't been in a cinema for about 30 years".[7] The cameo-heavy cast was commented upon by several reviewers, with the Metro commenting that "no one emerges unscathed among the cameo-packed cast that reads largely like a roll-call for Brit TV legends you'd previously suspected deceased".[8] The Daily Record described the film as "an exasperating farce containing not one single, solitary laugh. Comprised of people losing their trousers and falling over, the film looks like a pilot for a (mercifully) never-commissioned 70's sitcom".[9]
[10] As of 18 February 2013 the film has a 0% approval rating on aggregate review website Rotten Tomatoes.[11] The film made £602 during its opening weekend.[12]
