Reanimator
Videodrome
Way of the Gun (massive flop, but is actually a classic)
The Quick and the Dead.
Twin Town
Shoot 'Em Up
Absolutely brilliant load of tosh
Wanted, every time it comes on IITV2 i have to watch it to the end. The final shootout is outrageous.
Heh, a friend of mine watched that in a cinema in Iraq in 200-and-something. He said it was the first time he's seen a fil where the audience was more heavily armed than the cast of the film.
5th Element
Starship Troopers
Nope - not letting you have those, one is a brilliant creative film & the other is a fantastic satire.<span style="font-size: 0.8rem;">Planet Terror would be my entry, even tho it's supposed to be like that. </span>
In fact I’m going all in with every Statham movie ever made (they’re all pretty much the same movie anyway).
His next film the Meg looks perfect...
Big Trouble in Little China! Forced my kids to watch it when they were a bit younger. They weren't impressed at all. I, on the other hand, loved it. Again!
The latest remake of Godzilla I caught on Sky a couple of months back.
Total Recall (Paul Verhoeven)
Hudson Hawk
The A-Team film with Liam Neeson
Waterworld (possibly only for the boat)
Pretty much anything with the Stath in it.
Crank and The Transporter are gloriously daft
kung fu football - best martial arts football movie I ever seen
His next film the Meg looks perfect…
Oh my...!
Rubber
Any film with Jackie Chan in it.
Ginger Snaps
Ginger Snaps
Haha - forgotten about that film - used to love it.
I'm plumping for Skyline.
Really bad but yet surprisingly good!
Ooooh.
Kung Fury!
Black Sheep, New Zealand comedy horror about man eating sheep - "get the flock out of here".
They Live!
Some of these are actually good films.
The thing is Kung Fury, Black Sheep and Dog Soldiers are actually good budget films that are deliberately made to look a bit naff/nostalgic. Can't wait for Kung Fury 2.
Too many good good films being listed here
Mars Attacks!
Turbo Kid
Killing Gunther
+1 for Pacific Rim. In the words of Honest Movie Trailers "either the most awesome dumb movie ever made, or the dumbest awesome movie ever made!".
Six-string Samurai.
It's a beautiful thing.
I bought a vampire motorcycle.
Ok, that might be a bad bad film.
Deuce Bigalow male Jigalo
Weekend at Bernie's
Bill and Teds excellent adventure and bogus journey
Bill and Teds excellent adventure and bogus journey
These are just really good films.
Dune, but perhaps that is more a really bad really good film? It's both at the same time - Like watching a 3 hr trailer for the greatest film ever made.
Night of the Comet.
Torn between nominating Screamers or Starship Troopers.
The Last Airbender gets an honorary mention for using the line "I knew he was a bender the moment I saw him" seriously.
The Bad Batch
Its a post apocalypse prison flick in a Mad. Max stylee where the heroine gets her leg and arm eaten, takes revenge by killing her tormentor and ends up on a journey with the husband of the women she's killed earlier looking for a daughter who she's kidnapped... (yes that is the plot, I'm not making this shit up)
Its on Netflix, its utterly compelling in "surely this can't get any worse, oh no, yes it can... " sort of way... Makes no sense whatsoever. Mad
I give you HellRider
Too many good films on this thread, but this was properly stupid. In the same way Con-Air with Nick Cage was fantastic, this was really bloody dreadful. And yet strangely compelling.
Scream.
Convoy.
Home Alone.
And definitely Dirty Dancing.
Home Alone, They Live, Starship Troopers (great pisstake movie) and Dog Soldiers are all genuinely good films in their respective genres. This thread is confusing me
I’d love to see Kevin from Home Alone in a Predator movie. That would be brilliant. The Predator would be utterly ****ed.
This thread is confusing me
Seriously don't head near the films I didn't understand thread then!!
Bang to rights on Home Alone, it's a brilliant film, tbh. I just hated it as a teenager and was delighted to see it again as an adult.
I'll have Inbred then...
"They Live" is awsumz , does not belong here at all imo.
Why do people keep saying Starship Troopers? Whilst it was stylised a bit like a B-Movie is was a $100m Touchstone Studios Film made by The Writer and Director (different people) of Robocop, one of the biggest films of the 80s. It’s ‘just’ a good mainstream film with a great, unconventional feel.
Some of the films listed are just ‘normal’ good films from major studios with normal casts - just perhaps not ‘summer blockbusters’.
I think a good example would be ‘The Castle’ it’s a low-budget, pretty badly acted Austrialian film that just happens to be incredibly funny and warm, or ‘Waterworld’ as someone else said, which despite being slammed by critics back in the day and known for being a flop because it lost a load of money it’s actiallg really good IMHO, same goes for ‘Sahara’.

The Castle is a classic and wonderful film
I think Black Sheep and The Greasy Strangler fit the bill of really good really bad films perfectly. They were both the kind of films that I couldn't believe I enjoyed. I guess I'd add Dog Soldiers into that too.
Blue Juice.
Worth it for Catherine Zeta-Jones in undies and DM's alone 😉
Troll 2 and Leprechaun have to be up there!
