The Jazz Singer with Neil Diamond - terrible script, worse acting and Sir Laurence must have been embarrassed, but the music was/is great.

Other thoughts?

Road House - I could easily watch it again and again. It is a bad movie, but it is so entertaining. Dalton has some killer lines. When Dalton and Wade Garrett (Sam Elliot) start kickin' some a** you can't pull yourself away. What about Ben Gazzara? He's great as one of the most despicable bad guys ever. Love it. "Pain don't hurt."



Also, all Bruce Lee movies. I have loved Bruce Lee's movies since I was a teenager. I still watch them on DVD from time to time.

"Why did you kill my teacher?"

This thread really made me think. I am a pretty prolific bad movie watcher. I like every genre pretty much but I have seen so many "bad" comedies that I personally loved that I would need to think it over haha

Is "Back to School" one of those "bad" comedies? It is another bad movie I would watch again.

Trendy Man: Mr. Melon, your wife was just showing us her Klimt.

Thornton Melon: You too, huh? She's shown it to everybody.

Trendy Man: Well, she's very proud of it.

Thornton Melon: I'm proud of mine too. I don't go waving it around at parties, though.

Trendy Man: It's an exceptional painting.

Thornton Melon: Oh, the painting.

Such a bad movie.
 
Charlton Heston in "The Omega Man" I guess early 70's. I think I saw this movie 20 times but it is a very long time since I saw it. He was one of the last men on earth and his blood was a serum that could keep others alive. There was a race of people who only came out at night because their skin and their vision was ruined by the flash of a nuke. They were like albinos. Heston killed a ton of these people with automatic weapons. He gets killed at the end with a spear and dies in a crucifixion pose, Christ-like on a fountain centerpiece. Weird movie but I was fascinated by it as a kid.



OK I refreshed my memory and looked this up on IMDB and it was a plague from biological warfare that had these people all jacked up, not a nuke. Same principle. IMDB actually gives it 6.6 which I think is far more than it deserves.

Mine is "The Last Boy Scout" with Bruce Willis and Damon Wayans. Horrible movie but some awesome dialog...

DW - "what, you don't believe in love?"

BW - "I believe in love... I believe in cancer too"

DW - "I'd like to meet the bitch that f*cked you up"

"Night of the Living Dead", 1968, the original modern zombie movie.
Appropriately, set around Pittsburgh.

Summer Lovers - an older film from 1982 staring Darryl Hannah and Peter Gallagher involving a summer fling threesome relationship. It was filmed on the island of Santorini. Since I visited there and other Greek islands, I like to watch it for the island scenery and of course the olive oil orgy.

My guilty pleasure... The Fifth Element....



Plot is absolutely stupid, but the color saturation, especially on an large screen HD or when viewing on a Home Theater Projector is amazing...

It helps that the acting is so flamboyant. The look on Bruce Willis' face as he lights the last match, that kind of thing, it just works. It's totally enjoyable, nothing to apologize for.
 
Road House - there's a pool hall scene where some guy is "enjoying his break" that I saw once but ever since I've not seen it again.

FWIW:
Romy + Michele's HS Reunion - having been to a HS reunion helps make this funny, as does Sorvino, Kudrow, and Garofalo
Me, Myself, and Irene - more dumb Carrey stuff, but Zellweger to help tolerate it.
Jack - Robin Williams playing a young child, either you find it preposterously dumb, or enjoyable with your Diane Lane and Jennifer Lopez
The Jerk - Steve Martin is really a jerk in this, but sometimes I just like to not have to think about a plot and just snicker at the dumb
Blast From The Past - forget Alicia Silverstone looking cute, Christopher Walken is why I watch this
Benny + Joon - a young Depp and Masterson. I tend to watch whatever either one of them is in, but my programming for whatever reason, would require I watch Mary Stuart paint
Arthur - Liza is like fingernails on a chalk board, but this is the only time I find Dudley funny and it's probably because of John Gielgud

Bonus: Walken Fatboy Slim Weapon of Choice:

Arthur: Hobson?

Hobson: Yes.

Arthur: Do you know what I'm going to do?

Hobson: No, I don't.

Arthur: I'm going to take a bath.

Hobson: I'll alert the media.

Arthur: [rises] Do you want to run my bath for me?

Hobson: That's what I live for.

[Arthur exits]

Hobson: Perhaps you would like me to come in there and wash your dick for you, you little shit.

The Hollywood Knights. A young Michelle Pfeiffer has a supporting role. Robert Wuhl as Newbomb Turk is unforgettable. I must have watched it 20 times in the 1980's HBO days.

Beverly Hills cop III. Watching now for the first time, but I can already tell that it's so bad, I'll probably need to watch it again.

The first movie I ever saw on cable - Clash of the Titans

Big Trouble in Little China, although I maintain just like Flash Gordon and The Fifth Element, that the movie is brilliant

Just about anything by Wes Anderson, especially The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
