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'.

SHARKNADO !!

Brilliant film, worth watching for continuity errors. Straight out of a completely flooded house onto a bone dry road. Superb! Great effects as well.

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

^^^ WHS. I'd put A Knight's tale and Starship Troopers in the same category, them folks are laughing heartily at themselves. 🙂

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!

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

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 😕

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.

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

Rambo on the other hand...

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.

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.

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.

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. 😀

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. 🙂
