shitty movies you adore<3

[AnIzzi0t]

a while ago, while staying over at a friends house so we could work on our battle vests together, we both got bored and went on a search for horror movies to watch, in true sleepover fashion.

the movie we ended up watching was spookies (1986), and since then, it has become one of our biggest inside jokes. it has the most batshit plot ever, and the ending scene is a 5 minute chase scene, just for shits and giggles. and I love it

is there any movies that have made y'all feel this way?? just movies that are total ass but you have a huge connection to? it brings me so much warmth and joy that at least someone will always love a piece of media

This one is obvious but the 1995 Film Hackers, not a bad movie if you're into ridiculous action movies!

I also love all the Sharknado movies, they're so funny to me

The 1994 Street Fighter movie is such a wonderfully campy mess of a film and I can't help but love it. Raul Julia as M. Bison is such a joy to watch

"FOR I BEHELD SATAN AS HE FELL FROM HEAVEN. LIKE LIGHTNIIIIIIIIING!!!!!!!"

my fav bad movie is probably tokyo gore police. it has a shitty english dub, is in poor taste, & feels like it was written by an edgy teen who saw robocop one too many times. but it's also fun!!

I'm a longtime fan of Mystery Science Theatre 3000 and its later incarnation, Rifftrax, so I have seen many, many bad movies. I even own some! The Room is always a great watch, whether you watch it with the funny commentaries or not. Birdemic is another great one.

One that I've seen several times via Rifftrax and enjoyed unironically is The Apple, an over-the-top musical that cost so much to make there was no way it was ever going to make the money back. The story is weird, yet somehow still cliche, and the music is not altogether bad (it's a musical!). The setting is so over the top that it's impossible to take seriously, and ends with a literal deus ex machina, like they weren't even sure how to wrap everything up properly. It's one I like to recommend because it's great fun, and isn't one of the more well-known "so bad it's good" terrible films.

cracks knuckles. my time has come.
bad movies come in all kinds of categories these days, and i kinda love it. there's vintage shlock, tubi slop, immensely weird indie stuff, box office flops, and everything in between.
of those, some of my favourites are...

vintage shlock:
- jesus christ vampire hunter: an easter classic! the fact our protagonist is jesus is honestly kinda negligible. kind of related to a bunch of other niche cheesy action movies by the same director, but i haven't seen those and this movie's a blast without any context. literally so unserious. also, lots of lesbians.
- slumber party massacre 2: have not seen the prequel and have no intentions of doing so. awesome original soundtrack, incredibly campy antagonist (he's a ghost who's a greaser and he kills people with an electric guitar that's also a drill), what's not to love?

tubi slop:
- shark side of the moon: really poorly made tubi original about evil soviet humanoid sharks on, you guessed it, the moon. my girlfriend loves this movie.
- yorkie werewolf: SOOOO stupid!!! witch girl becomes a werewolf and is the key to ending the war between creatures of the night and the mafia. pasta ensues.

immensely weird indie stuff:
- wolfcop: really silly and unserious saskatchewan-based film about a cop who becomes a werewolf. random homoerotic undertones and a very crass sense of humour. my girlfriend's best friend put me onto this one and it's kinda awesome.
- puppy: really bad really fun college(?) film about an evil puppy from viking times that kills and eats people. gratuitous violence, crude humour, and unnecessary nudity. really liberal with cheesy sound effects.

box office flops:
- tomorrowland: okay this one is unironically quite close to my heart because some of the philosophies and character dynamics remind me of my father.
- velvet buzzsaw: okay this was produced by netflix so idk if it counts as a box office flop but this was SOOOOOO silly!!! jake gyllenhaal plays a bisexual art critic named like morf or something and him and all his friends get murked by cursed art pieces in a gallery. what's not to love?

also, i have a soft spot for some bad kids' movies, like the descendants series and the new monster high movie. my friends and i watch that kinda stuff on call together sometimes, and heckle a bunch too. bonus points if we can get our hands on an unfinished work print for maximum silliness! we also once got our hands on the emoji movie, but really bass boosted and with some really messed up subtitles that would just randomly share gambling ads or write out BOOM SMASHED IT AGAIN in all caps.

so many wonderful ways to enjoy bad movies!!!

My fav bad movie is Who Killed Captain Alex, it so fun with dialogue yet bad at direction you can only sustain if you like Ugandan accent Still Ugandans are doing their best with there limited resources 

[torquuato]

me and my girlfriend really liked aliens in the attic (2009). everyone ive asked has said it is just super bad, but for me there is just something about it i genuinely adore. my favorite bit is the scene where the grandma does a flying kick

There's so many, but probably the most downright hated movie that I love is Yoga Hosers. This is kind of a sequel/follow-up to Tusk (which you may know as the movie where a guy gets turned into a walrus), and believe it or not it is so much dumber and it's not even close. It seems like the common consensus on Tusk was that it was pretty good in its weird comedic body horror premise when it was focused on the walrus guy and taking itself (somewhat) seriously. However, there was a side-plot focused on some of the kidnapped man's friends trying to find him which did not take itself seriously at all and was generally seen as by far the weakest part of the movie. Kevin Smith (the director), in response to this, made Yoga Hosers: a movie that is basically just the parts of Tusk that people didn't like. It is genuinely a baffling movie. I can't even say "it's so bad it's good", because that implies failure, and I cannot know if it was a failure if I can't even tell what they were trying to do.

My fav bad movie is Who Killed Captain Alex

I also love Who Killed Captain Alex. Obviously there's lots of funny dialog, but it's also just great how clear the passion in the project is. Every second you can feel how much the people making the movie cared about what they were doing. That being said, I have seen this movie several times, and I still have absolutely no idea what the plot is.

Postal Movie. Based off postal 2 but its somehow 10x more insane. Its so disgustingly of its time I LOVE IT. 
the entire time watching it i kept thinking "this is the worst movie ive ever watched" but i kept watching it like a tornado in a distance. 0/10, would watch it 100 more times.

Repo: The Genetic Opera, undoubtedly. Is it bad? Maybe. Probably. I don't know. Regardless of how you feel about it it's 100% unfiltered 2000's mall goth/emo bait and I'm absolutely helpless to it.

I love The Cat in the Hat (2003), although admittedly that's partly because I watched it a hundred times as a kid. It's absolutely TERRIBLE if you approach it as a standard kids movie or a Dr Suess adaptation even more so, but it's a life-changing experience if you view it as a bizarre late night Adult Swim program or something in a similar vein as Freddy Got Fingered.

I'm a massive fan of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z, and even with that behind me, there's something about Dragon Ball Evolution that I just can't help but love. It's such an astonishingly horrible adaptation, but it's so charmingly astonishingly horrible. I should hate this movie into the ground and yet I can't.

It also convinced Akira Toriyama to unretire the series and give us Battle of Gods, which is an amazing movie, so it's got that going for it as well.

the final
An awkward student with a deadly vendetta leads a group of outcasts who plot to avenge the years of humiliation they faced by the popular students at Hohn High School.

the first after dark horrorfest film i've seen. it's very late 2000s, came out when i was in high school. i was obsessed with this at the time, even had the characters as friends on facebook  . free on tubi.

the rage: carrie 2
A horrible massacre strikes up after an outcast teenage girl is taunted by a group of high school jocks, all of them unaware of her cutthroat telekinetic powers.

i'm a massive fan of the original carrie, and while i don't think this holds up as a sequel, i still really love it. free on tubi.

tamara
Tamara, an unattractive girl, who is picked on by her peers returns after her death as a sexy seductress to exact revenge.

a 2000s carrie-like movie but witchcraft instead of telekinesis. free on tubi.

omen iv: the awakening
Two attorneys adopt a mysterious orphan girl as their daughter, unaware she is the new Antichrist, next in line to Damien Thorn.

this, much like carrie 2, sucks as a sequel to the original. it was clearly made for tv as well. the only selection that isn't on tubi, it's currently on amazon.


there is definitely a theme with the movies i chose lmao. i really love watching horror movies with women killers. and carrie is one of my earliest special interests, so i gravitate a lot towards movies that have similar themes.
