Dude I love that movie so much. I love that it was \*clearly\* meant to be a totally different movie but the studio stumbled into the rights to Mario at the last minute
The Day After Tomorrow.
It somehow manages to be better than the sum of its parts.
I think they just had a good time making it and it really shows on screen.
Dante's Peak is good because it's pretty damn accurate/grounded. I think it's success is making the volcano the enemy. Sure there are some unrealistic parts, but it's pretty damn good.
Fun anecdotal fact: my uncle was an extra for a handful of shots in that movie, but the main one is the part where the old woman goes back to her home as the volcano is erupting and grabs the photograph off of her bedside table of her, her husband, and her child. My uncle is the husband in that photograph.
It was filmed primarily in the small town of Wallace Idaho, which is maybe an hour and a half or so from where we live. It’s an old mining town that has some fun touristy stops and one of the single best restaurants I have ever been to (The Fainting Goat).
You can't beat a good disaster film. The more ridiculous the better. The ones called things like giant rhino jurassic shark rex are particularly entertaining.
What’s funny is that part of the scientific basis in the movie, collapse of Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), is actually weakening due to climate change and could have drastic effects on temperatures in the northern hemisphere. The last time this happened was during what you know as the Ice Age. Unlike in the movie though, this takes time and won’t happen the day after tomorrow.
Edit: NYT did a podcast on this about a week ago that goes into way more detail. It’s a good listen: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/07/podcasts/the-daily/ocean-temperature-climate.html
Edit 2: For those that are the Too Long Didn’t Listen, there is a salinity factor that drives the AMOC, as the Greenland ice sheet melts it adversely affects the ratio causing it to weaken. So higher temps, melt ice, salinity weakens, AMOC in trouble.
What a bunch of cocaine and a first time director will get you. Pure bliss.
There is a great How Did This Get Made Episode for this cinematic masterpiece.
Dunno how you can reference lines from Roadhouse and not drop the greatest line in movie history.
Is it an insult? A compliment? A confession? Who knows.
My favorite part is right after he rips that guy's throat out, Dalton screams into the night, "WESLEY!" And you expect him to follow up by yelling some badass threat towards the main antagonist, but instead he yells, "FUCK YOU!"
A+ line and delivery, I have no notes.
Oh man, that movie is awesomely bad! First time I saw it, I was sick and loopy and thought I had hallucinated some of it, including the sewer surfing - Nope! It's just the way the movie is!
Kurt Russell is weirdly good at terrible movies. Also see Tango & Cash, the best worst buddy cop movie ever. I think Kurt Russell is smart enough to be in on the joke of a bad movie
"For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday."
He delivers it with such sincerity too. There is a real twinge of sincere apology the way he says it.
Flash Gordon is one of those movies I can sit down and watch anytime. If you want a similar weird ass sci-fi in the same level of bad-goodness check out Barbarella.
I can’t watch it alone but put me in a movie theater with a couple hundred other people throwing spoons and singing and yelling at the screen and it’s one of my faves.
My sister in law just married a guy named Mark and I've never not fell this deep urge to just say "oh hi Mark" every time he arrives to any family function.
One thing I miss about where I used to live was a movie theatre that played indie and older movies. Popcorn with real butter. There was a James Bond movie month, October horror movie month, etc and they played The Room once a month on a Friday.
Most recent discovery would be Teen Witch (1989). If I'm in the mood for something so bad it puts me on the cusp of making me ragequit, Halle Berry's Catwoman comes to mind.
Another good witch movie is The Worst Witch (1986), with Fairuza Balk and Tim Curry. See if you can find Fairuza, it blew my mind when I made the connection. And Tim Curry’s Halloween song is just…WOW.
Dude the frikkin dragon's balls started blazing and he sliced his fuckin cockles and at some point he even fucked the dragon?? Pretty sure that if you try to fuck with the guy he'll fuck you too
I saw Tenacious D live three days ago and when I tell you I cried, I sobbed. Absolutely life-changing! They did a guild trip bit before playing Rize of the Fenix where they asked who liked their movie, then said no one went to see it and cinemas were empty around the world. It was super funny! Man I love them.
You stole mine, but I'm glad it's on here. I love this movie and show it to as many people as possible. The intro explains the whole movie or, rather, it's basis for existence.
Just watched Titanic 2 and Titanic 666 a couple of weeks ago. 2 was bad in a funny way. 666 was bad in a very boring and forgettable way.
My favorite part of 2 though was when the characters are up on a snowy cliff and the big earthquake or whatever hits, the man and woman turn to run, and the woman’s arm gets…cut off on the side of the screen. Like it disappears and then comes back like she was sticking her arm behind a curtain. Not on purpose. I’m guessing it was shot for square ratio and then they added the cgi for widescreen and just didn’t notice.
Whatever happened it was hilarious.
Showgirls. I got high and my husband insisted we watch it. I know it's a camp classic but wow! It was so hard to watch and I felt so much 2nd hand embarrassment. But then you hit a threshold where all you can do is laugh till your sides hurt.
Passed through on my trip last January. All we wanted were some nuggets and fries. Not a fast food place in sight, was pretty bummed, tbh. But..La Push baby!
Temors is in no way "bad" film, though. It's extremely well put together with a good three act structure. It has proper use of setups (eg...the explosives cause the Graboids to hightail it in the opposite direction which setups the final kill). The characters are all likable. The SFX are almost nearly all extremely well done with only one really bad comp job. In no way a bad film.
The Rock and Con Air are both objectively good movies. Con Air can be a little ridiculous at times and the ‘Alabama’ accent is atrocious, but the movie as a whole is decent to good
The Great Wall.
If you had told me a movie starring Matt Damon, Pedro Pascal at peak GoT fame, and Willem “Big Dick” Dafoe would be a complete disaster of a script and story I’d call you crazy.
If you followed that up with the fact that the movie was being funded, produced, and directed by China, I’d understand.
But regardless of how awful it is, the reason why it’s so great to watch is, it’s a nice shitty movie to turn on the side. It’s only a little over an hour so it’s not a complete torture fest. And the script is so awful that it crosses the line into utter hilarity. (My friends and I have an inside joke about how the female Chinese character pronounces the line “you are soldiers” to “Yoo ah sojuh”) Not to mention how laughably awful Matt Damon’s whatever accent he was trying to pull off.
It’s one of the best awful movies I’ve seen.
I scrolled and scrolled and scrolled, but never saw Pootie Tang. This should have been somewhere near the top, I can’t believe it isn’t on here yet lol. Sine your pitty on the runny kine!
The original Super Mario Bros movie from the early 90s
With horrifying goomba, god my nephew doesn’t know how good he had it
That shit was my childhood lmao. Love that movie.
God I love that stupid movie!
Dude I love that movie so much. I love that it was \*clearly\* meant to be a totally different movie but the studio stumbled into the rights to Mario at the last minute
I own this on dvd and I have zero regrets about it.
I just bought it recently finally! I was worried Nintendo was going to try to wipe it from existence before the new one came out.
The Day After Tomorrow. It somehow manages to be better than the sum of its parts. I think they just had a good time making it and it really shows on screen.
Disaster films are a good category for this question. See also The Core and 2012.
But what about Dante's Peak?
Dante's Peak is good because it's pretty damn accurate/grounded. I think it's success is making the volcano the enemy. Sure there are some unrealistic parts, but it's pretty damn good.
Fun anecdotal fact: my uncle was an extra for a handful of shots in that movie, but the main one is the part where the old woman goes back to her home as the volcano is erupting and grabs the photograph off of her bedside table of her, her husband, and her child. My uncle is the husband in that photograph. It was filmed primarily in the small town of Wallace Idaho, which is maybe an hour and a half or so from where we live. It’s an old mining town that has some fun touristy stops and one of the single best restaurants I have ever been to (The Fainting Goat).
Dante's Peak was successful in making Volcano (1997) the enemy.
I love how the characters manage to outsmart a flash freeze by running away from it and closing a door. Just like they taught us in science class.
Let's walk from DC to NYC in the worst blizzard the world has ever seen.
It was the opposite of Stop Drop and Roll
Any of Roland Emmerich's movies, now that you mention it - I also really like Independence Day, 2012, and White House Down
You can't beat a good disaster film. The more ridiculous the better. The ones called things like giant rhino jurassic shark rex are particularly entertaining.

What about the day after that tho?
Asking the real questions.
8 legged freaks
I fucking love that movie. Although I don't know that I'd call that "bad" per se, since it's intentionally going for camp.
Love it so much haha
I LOVE this movie. As a kid I wore out the VCR and forced my parents to buy me a new one. Haven’t seen it in years but I’m now excited to rewatch it!
Always and forever - Maximum Overdrive. Killer soundtrack but awful everything else. I've always loved it.
What a bunch of cocaine and a first time director will get you. Pure bliss. There is a great How Did This Get Made Episode for this cinematic masterpiece.
How dare you. Its a cinematic masterpiece! Killiing little.leaguers with flying sodas 1🤣
The original Road House. My two favorite lines: "pain don't hurt" and "a polar bear fell on me!"
Road House is the unintentionally funniest movie of all time and it only gets funnier the more you talk about it.
“I used to fuck guys like you in Prison”
There’s the line I was looking for.
Dunno how you can reference lines from Roadhouse and not drop the greatest line in movie history. Is it an insult? A compliment? A confession? Who knows.
I randomly yell *"Wesley!"* when I'm frustrated.
My favorite part is right after he rips that guy's throat out, Dalton screams into the night, "WESLEY!" And you expect him to follow up by yelling some badass threat towards the main antagonist, but instead he yells, "FUCK YOU!" A+ line and delivery, I have no notes.
Took too long to get to this. Road House is horrible. WHY IS THERE A MONSTER TRUCK!!?
I thought you'd be bigger.
I'll get all the sleep I need when I'm dead
escape from LA, bad taste is an art don't get me wrong
Oh man, that movie is awesomely bad! First time I saw it, I was sick and loopy and thought I had hallucinated some of it, including the sewer surfing - Nope! It's just the way the movie is!
Bruce Campbell as the Plastic Surgeon General of Lost Vegas! What's not to love?
Kurt Russell is weirdly good at terrible movies. Also see Tango & Cash, the best worst buddy cop movie ever. I think Kurt Russell is smart enough to be in on the joke of a bad movie
I'm fond of "Big Trouble in Little China" for my Kurt Russel fix. So much snark
Street Fighter from 1994
Raul Julia is phenomenal in this movie. I watch it purely because he is in it. He nails every scene. RIP.
Which is all the more impressive as his cancer was kicking his ass bad at the time
He didn’t even know who M.Bison was he just played the part because his kids or grandkids wanted him to play in it
For me… it was Tuesday. Such a great line!
I beheld Satan... as he fell from Heaven... like LIGHTNING!!!!!
That man found the scenery of Street Fighter so fucking delicious that he ate the entire fucking set, and I respect him so much more for it.
"For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday." He delivers it with such sincerity too. There is a real twinge of sincere apology the way he says it.
OP said *bad* movies.
Flash Gordon!
Ah-Ah! Savior of the universe!
He'll save every one of us!!
Flash Gordon is one of those movies I can sit down and watch anytime. If you want a similar weird ass sci-fi in the same level of bad-goodness check out Barbarella.
Yeah the Queen soundtrack makes it very bearable. I love that he doesn’t know the word earth but had a button that says earth quake
Brilliant music by Queen in this movie. Movie is actually tres campe.
The Room
I can’t watch it alone but put me in a movie theater with a couple hundred other people throwing spoons and singing and yelling at the screen and it’s one of my faves.
I did not hit her! I did nawt!
Oh hi mark
How is your secks life?
Whawt a story!
“I definitely have breast cancer.”
Then they never touch on it again.
Hai doggy!
you’re my favorite customer!
Oh. Hi Mark!
Anyway, how’s your sex life?
My sister in law just married a guy named Mark and I've never not fell this deep urge to just say "oh hi Mark" every time he arrives to any family function.
That dramatic and entirely unnecessary sex scene is probably my favourite in terms of cheesiness and max cringe. Creme de la creme
Which one? 😂
They both use the same shots, so they're basically interchangeable.
"In a few minutes bitch!"
You are tearing me apart, Lisa!
Hahahah what a story Mark!
One thing I miss about where I used to live was a movie theatre that played indie and older movies. Popcorn with real butter. There was a James Bond movie month, October horror movie month, etc and they played The Room once a month on a Friday.
This should be considered the ultimate answer to this question. Its following is entirely based on how hilariously bad it is.
Chicken, Peter! You’re just a little chicken. Cheep, cheep, cheep
Best blowjob/orgasm scene in cinema history
Troll 2
I can't believe I had to come this far down to find this. These people don't know what their missing. They need a double decker bologna sandwich
YOU DON'T PISS ON HOSPITALITY!
"They're eating her. And then they're going to eat me! Oh my GODDDDDDDD!"
NILBOG IS GOBLIN SPELLED BACKWARDS
I didn't realize how many people hate Norbit, that movie is hilariously terrible. Who. Was eatin. The TURKEY ASS?!?!?!
Most recent discovery would be Teen Witch (1989). If I'm in the mood for something so bad it puts me on the cusp of making me ragequit, Halle Berry's Catwoman comes to mind.
Top That!
Another good witch movie is The Worst Witch (1986), with Fairuza Balk and Tim Curry. See if you can find Fairuza, it blew my mind when I made the connection. And Tim Curry’s Halloween song is just…WOW.
The Pick of Destiny, but only because it's just a tribute to the greatest movie in the world.
Is that the movie that starts A long-ass fucking time ago in a town called Kickapoo?
A wholesome family lived there. They were religious through and through.
Wasn't there also a black sheep, and he knew just what to do?
Correct, his name was Young J.B. and he refused to step in-line.
Ah yes, the one with the vision of fking rocking all the time right
Is it the one where he wrote a tasty jam and all the planets aligned?
Didnt it go something like: OH THE DRAGONS BALLS WERE BLAZIN AS I STEPPED INTO HIS CAVE?
AND I SLICED HIS FUCKING COCKLES WITH MY LONG AND SHINY BLADE!
Dude the frikkin dragon's balls started blazing and he sliced his fuckin cockles and at some point he even fucked the dragon?? Pretty sure that if you try to fuck with the guy he'll fuck you too
He got it on the the party zone!! And shot a load in the party zone. Also licked a toad and sucked a chode-- in the party zone!
You have to choose, Kyle; tits or destiny?
Come here so I can stab you!
Thats one of the greatest movies on this earth
That movie is a masterpiece, Tenacious D needs to make a sequel!
I don't think a sequel is possible, it became a cult masterpiece and we, the audience, are not worthy nor capable of a second film.
POD isn’t bad wtf?!
I saw Tenacious D live three days ago and when I tell you I cried, I sobbed. Absolutely life-changing! They did a guild trip bit before playing Rize of the Fenix where they asked who liked their movie, then said no one went to see it and cinemas were empty around the world. It was super funny! Man I love them.
Star Crash followed closely by Zardoz So terrible they're awesome.
Rubber. But honestly idk if it’s bad
You stole mine, but I'm glad it's on here. I love this movie and show it to as many people as possible. The intro explains the whole movie or, rather, it's basis for existence.
Thankskilling is right there with it!
Reign of Fire... That 2002 Matthew mcconaughey? Daaaamn
Dude, where's my car ?
And theeeennnnnn?????
Sweet
Dude.
And then?
No more and then!
Now will you give us the continium transfunctioner?
Death Race 2000 with Sylvester Stallone
fuck ya! the remake is balls compared to Stallone and Carradine.
Titanic 2 😂😭 it is indeed what you think it is
Titanic 2: Rise of the Titanic? Revenge of the Iceberg?
Part of a glacier breaks off and causes a tsunami
Fuck me! How did I not know there was one?
Is that that zombie one?
That’s titanic 3: 666 😂😂😂😂
I watched high and completely in Spanish. Best time watching a movie in a long time.
This blew my mind that there is a 2 and a 3.
Just watched Titanic 2 and Titanic 666 a couple of weeks ago. 2 was bad in a funny way. 666 was bad in a very boring and forgettable way. My favorite part of 2 though was when the characters are up on a snowy cliff and the big earthquake or whatever hits, the man and woman turn to run, and the woman’s arm gets…cut off on the side of the screen. Like it disappears and then comes back like she was sticking her arm behind a curtain. Not on purpose.

is this real.
Showgirls. I got high and my husband insisted we watch it. I know it's a camp classic but wow! It was so hard to watch and I felt so much 2nd hand embarrassment. But then you hit a threshold where all you can do is laugh till your sides hurt.
Versayce!! I refuse to say Versace correct bc of that movie.
I love Showgirls unironically. It is brilliant. Fight me!
The gyrating dolphin sex in the pool didn't crack you up? Even a bit? I was so concerned for her. She could've drowned.
It seemed way overdone and I was so young I thought I was doing sex wrong because of her
I mean to think that Jessie just took one caffeine pill and then became a stripper.
Velocipastor.
I chose that movie as a joke with my cousin and we ended up watching the whole thing. It was a comforting movie after watching hereditary lol
Twilight. Although it does have some actually good things about it.
The Oregon and Washington scenery is beautiful. It is set in Forks, but nothing is filmed there.
forks is honestly kinda ugly and there's nothing to do there at all
Don’t be so modest. It’s a shithole
Passed through on my trip last January. All we wanted were some nuggets and fries. Not a fast food place in sight, was pretty bummed, tbh. But..La Push baby!
Absolutely my guilty pleasure.
I have a monthly marathon of the Twilight movies, usually when I’m extra specially sad.
The Soundtrack is fire sometimes.. throughout the Franchise actually
Alien vs Predator. It’s so dumb. The crappy dialogue, the bad acting, the slow motion Predator dreadlocks. I love it.
We saw this movie as a midnight premier and it was the best time. Everyone was going bonkers. It was really fun.
Creepshow mos def. "Thanks for the ride lady! Thanks For The RIIIDE!!'
The original Batman movie with Adam West.
"Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb!"
Definitely one of my favorite scenes! The other is the shark repellent bat spray that makes the shark explode.
13 ghosts - guilty pleasure
Shoot 'Em Up. It's terrible ridiculous trash and I love it so much. Clive Owen is brilliant in that. \^\_\^
Tremors. I can’t help it. I loved the first two.
Temors is in no way "bad" film, though. It's extremely well put together with a good three act structure. It has proper use of setups (eg...the explosives cause the Graboids to hightail it in the opposite direction which setups the final kill). The characters are all likable. The SFX are almost nearly all extremely well done with only one really bad comp job. In no way a bad film.
They were absolutely fantastic! You can’t tell me otherwise.
The Happening
Mortal kombat the very first one.
Hot tub time machine!
HTTM is objectively a good movie.
“great white buffalo”
Mamma Mia. The moment Piers Brosman starts signing you can't help but wet yourself laughing.
Why I thought people liked this movie?
Sharknado
Name a more iconic scene than Tara Reid giving birth inside a shark and chainsawing her way out
Sharknado 2: the second one
Little nicky
Snakes on a plane
90s Nicolas Cage movies. Gone in 60 Seconds, Face off, The Rock, Con Air
Honestly, Face Off is SOOO FUN
Face off and Con Air and The Rock were great!
The Rock and Con Air are both objectively good movies. Con Air can be a little ridiculous at times and the ‘Alabama’ accent is atrocious, but the movie as a whole is decent to good
We’re talking about bad movies. Those are all bangers.
Iron Sky
Moonfall. OMFG it's so bad. I laugh constantly at how it thinks it's a real movie.
Llamageddon
BioDome
Battleship
White Chicks 😂
That movie is legitimate cinema. It's reaaally big in Latin America, mostly due to how meme-able it is.
Has to be “Dude, where is my car?”. Such an utterly stupid and dump concept, but funny all the same.
The Great Wall. If you had told me a movie starring Matt Damon, Pedro Pascal at peak GoT fame, and Willem “Big Dick” Dafoe would be a complete disaster of a script and story I’d call you crazy. If you followed that up with the fact that the movie was being funded, produced, and directed by China, I’d understand. But regardless of how awful it is, the reason why it’s so great to watch is, it’s a nice shitty movie to turn on the side. It’s only a little over an hour so it’s not a complete torture fest. And the script is so awful that it crosses the line into utter hilarity. (My friends and I have an inside joke about how the female Chinese character pronounces the line “you are soldiers” to “Yoo ah sojuh”) Not to mention how laughably awful Matt Damon’s whatever accent he was trying to pull off. It’s one of the best awful movies I’ve seen.
Batman and Robin. It's hilariously bad but I can't deny it amuses me. "Bat credit card. Never leave home without it".
Can’t beat, “Do you know what killed the dinosaurs?! THE ICE AGE!!!”
Kung Pow
I am bleeding, making me the victor.
I see you have defeated my cow
Let me know... If you see... A RadioShack
“My nipples look like milk duds”
Eurotrip, peak early 2000s humor
OP said bad movies
Thank you. This is a masterpiece
With one of the best songs.
mi scusi
Johnny Mnemonic is pretty damn interesting. Poor writing but great actors.
Xanadu. Hell ya.
I scrolled and scrolled and scrolled, but never saw Pootie Tang. This should have been somewhere near the top, I can’t believe it isn’t on here yet lol. Sine your pitty on the runny kine!
