You clearly have no taste, those movies are fabulous works of genius. ;)
Anything by John Waters, especially Pink Flamingos and Hairspray.

Barbarella is pretty spectacular as well.

And honorable mention to Caligula and Tank Girl.
Of course, how could I have forgotten Barbarella! Love that one too!

I had a period of watching Troma films, and the 'Executioner' movies.
'Rocky Horror' bad? 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' has remained quite popular for many years now, just like 'The Sound of Music'. They are both successful musical films.
I would have thought that many of these cult 'bad' movies which go for extremes and push certain taste boundaries, like 'Toxic Avenger', 'The Class of Nuke-Em High' and 'Surf Nazis Must Die' would continue to be watched more and survive longer than many unremarkable special effects action movies, such as 'Speed 2' for example, or the later Highlander movies (although the second is just bizarre and irregular enough to push for cult status), but since grindhouse movies are becoming more and more mainstream, I'm not sure now.
I find it hard to keep watching some of these movies now. 2012 was hard to watch to the end, but some of the chase scenes were amusing.
I forgot to mention my avatar's source too, Labyrinth, some people say this is a so bad it's good movie, but I just think it's pure good ;).
Labyrinth. Oh..I remember seeing it when I was a young man ...Oh, the dreams I had of Jennifer Connelly!
The movie was just pure art and vision, and the music matched it perfectly too. I loved the Escherian staircase and all the wonderful puppets and goblins!
I know, it's brilliant, I don't understand how this movie was a flop when it was released.Quote:

I'm not all convinced Labrynth counts as a really bad movie. Not was the concept good, it was very well done. Maybe it's a little cheesy, but not enough to make it bad.
You mean 'good' bad, right? Like 'The Story of Ricky-Oh' ?

I mean some movies really are so utterly awful that they're good, or at least amusing. I think most of the ones mentioned are prime examples. But Labryinth wasn't a bad movie at all. Sure not everyone is going to like all the same movies, but I don't think anyone could honestly think Labryinth was that bad.
That movie is hilariously awesome.Quote:

So long as you find a 'bad' movie that's enjoyable to criticize, or because it is funny for all the wrong reasons. Some movies, such as 'Alone in the Dark' with Christian Slater, are so bad that you can't even enjoy watching them to laugh at.
Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus

This is right up my alley.
A similar thread was started last year.
You would enjoy reading through some of this:

Thanks for rekindling the subject. Very funny!

Troma are makers of intensely bad movies. Which they actually take pride in.

Shoot me but I liked Bayformers, now even though that second one is REALLY bad. I still wouldn't mind if it was just 2 hours of robots fighting, being for anything overblown with special effects.

I don't know what the hell this is.:smilielol5: but rolling around, leaping up into the air, decapitations and spontaneous exposions seem to be a trend.
Most of the fight scenes are actually worse than this:

This one is a classic of the "funny bad" genre. . .

Just your opinions though, Titanic was a good movie.Quote:

Perfect Stranger with Bruce Willis and Halle Berry was so bad it was funny. Bounty Hunter with Jennifer Aniston was so bad that it couldn't be funny. Pretty much anything with Aniston is terrible. Love Happens might be the worst one.
It's like comparing tomatoes to lima beens, I guess.Quote:
