I’m talking about that movie you saw that was so bad it was good.
The Room.
I don’t know if there is anything to discuss there.
The are a few art house theaters in my city that will do showings of The Room in the same style as like a Rocky Horror showing. People will yell and scream and generally make of the movie in a fun and jovial way. I’ve always wanted to check it out.
“You’re tearing me apart, Lisa!!!”
Yeah! I saw The Room for the first time last month in an art house theatre it was great
Do people still throw spoons at relevant moments?
They do! :p
Wooo!
Pacific Rim
Makes no sense in ANY way but boy is it fun to watch. Some YouTube thingy called it the worst best and best worst movie ever, so…
I wouldn’t call this a bad movie though? GDT directed movie with decent reviews (72% RT and 65 Metacritic).
Unless you’re referring to the sequel (haven’t watched).
Does Velocipastor count ?

Everyone I know hates it, but I am a big Mike Myers fan.
Saw this for the first time a month ago and I made me really really miss the old Mike Meyers stuff. I’ll watch it again now because you made me want to.
In a very different way to most of the answers on here so far:
A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence.
It’s simultaneously excruciatingly dull and mindbendingly interesting. A genuinely fascinating film, but requires a huge amount of focus and commitment from the viewer. Possibly my favourite film ever
Troll 2. So many quotable lines and unforgettable scenes. And you don’t even have to watch Troll 1, because there is no Troll 1 - at least not in relation to, or in the context of, this film.
There are also no actual trolls in the movie, only goblins. Legendary film.
I absolutely love Troll 1 for the simple fact that the main character was named Harry Potter and he asks a witch to teach him to be a wizard halfway through the movie. It came out 11 years before the Harry Potter books.
Crank with Jason Statham. Ridiculous but fun.
Howard the Duck.
Good. God. It. Is. Awful.
Cannibal women in the avacado jungle of death. Rowdy Roddy Piper, hot chicks and Bill Mayher.
Slipstream (1989)… check it out if you haven’t seen it. Mark Hamill, Bill Paxton and produced by Gary Kurtz (Star Wars, ESB, American Graffiti, The Dark Crystal)… This was released 5 years after Return of the Jedi with that star power and didn’t even get a US cinema release.

King Pow : Enter the Fist.
I don’t agree, those guys know what they’re doing and are leaning into the cringe expertly. In no way is this a bad movie.
Shirt ripper!
Anything directed by Uwe Boll but especially Bloodrayne. It was so bad the actors stopped recording the commentary to get up and go get more wine to finish.
Armageddon is something I watch far too often. It’s not good but it’s very entertaining.
While it was certainly entertaining, I was always more of a Deep Impact fan myself.
I thought it was weird that two movies about a comet hitting earth came out within a year of each other.

It’s very nostalgic to me, I remember watching it a ton as kid on VHS. It’s not GOOD but I think of it fondly
It’s got to be either Tank Girl or Frankenhooker for me.
It’s easy to find BAD movies, but for “Best Worst”, aka, “So Bad It’s Good” category there should be some really redeeming qualities that make it interesting, entertaining, quotable, or just plain fun.
Tank Girl is a mess, with Ice (I’ll do anything to be a movie star and get out of rap) T as a kangaroo-guy, early Naomi Watts as eye candy Jet Girl and smart-aleck Lori Petty leading the pack as Tank Girl. Weird as all hell but some absolutely hilarious dialog (“I had a swell time, but the swelling’s gone down…”) and it’s fun to catch those building their acting careers - not just Ice T and Naomi, but Doug Jones, Iggy Pop, James Hong, Richard Schiff, etc…
Frankenhooker is possibly the better film but super-tongue-in-cheek fun, loaded with with it’s-so-dumb-snort! dialog like “Errrrkkk! Hey - Wanna date?” and “Oh, God…She’s gonna blow! Duck and cover!”, of course plenty of 1980s bewbs for the less-discerning amongst us.
Both highly recommended…in fact, the higher you are, the better they are. ;)
How could you not point out Malcolm McDowell being his Malcom McDowell-ist in tank girl
That’s like mentioning the 2000s Dungeons and Dragons movie and not mentioning Jeremy Irons
Or mentioning the 1993 Super Mario Bros movie and not bringing up the goombas
… Which also fall in this category
Yep - forgot to mention him; was in a different flow.
But also consider a wide-eyed, deep voiced Eddie Redmayne in Jupiter Ascending… another hoot of a movie. (“I like dogs…”)
