I admit it, I love really awful movies. I don't mean just bad (Titanic) I mean spectacularly bad.-Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Anyone else love a really bad movie?

I like poetry,long walks on the beach and poking dead things with a stick.
You clearly have no taste, those movies are fabulous works of genius.

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.Originally Posted by Silas Thorne
It's much more memorable than Top Gun or Crocodile Dundee, that grossed more in that year. I mean:
'there's this guy, a pilot, he flies in a fighter plane...um..I think he's kind of a rebel...he gets the girl...can't remember the rest'
and
'there's this guy...he comes from Australia, he has a big knife, no, a REALLY big knife, and goes to America....yes, they let him through customs with it...and gets the girl... she's American..'
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.
I love really bad movies - you can have a great night with friends just tearing them apart. The pride of my collection is a rare-ish DVD of Manos: The Hands of Fate, though Ballistic: Ecks versus Sever and The Avengers come close behind.
"I should only believe in a God that would know how to dance. And when I saw my devil, I found him serious, thorough, profound, solemn: he was the spirit of gravity- through him all things fall. Not by wrath, but by laughter, do we slay. Come, let us slay the spirit of gravity!" - Nietzsche
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.
