Wondering what people’s favorite “bad” movies are. Can be low budget, box office flops, foreign, so bad it’s good, whatever. I’m pretty big on Cannon Group stuff and cheesy Turkish pop cinema (Tarkan vs. the Vikings, etc.). Mostly go for 80s stuff as that’s my generation.
I kinda feel like actual kung fu movies (not things like Kung Pao: Enter the Fist, etc.) are their own special category, lol! Had almost forgotten about America 3000, yet another Menahem and Yoram gem!
I really like Miami Connection. It’s so cheesy, but in an endearing way.
I’ll have to check that one out, somehow never seen it.
I recently watched “Pieces” and I was laughing my ass off through the movie, It’s a weird little slasher. It felt like if Terrifier embraced the fact that it was a complete trash movie. Hell maybe even Terrifier was inspired by this .
Other than that I’m a sucker for low budget foreign horror. There is something about bad Indonesian horror films that just makes me smile every time. Late 90’s Japanese horror action films like “versus”, newer ones like “Tokio gore police”, “Robo Geisha” and “meatball machine”
Tetsuo the Iron man is probably one of my favorite films of all time, but I don’t consider that a bad movie by any means.
Action USA is an amazing action movie done solely by stunt people
The Blob (1988)
Night of The Comet (1984)
Night of The Creeps (1986)
Eight Legged Freaks (2002)
Dog Soldiers (2001)
Dog Soldiers starring Dr. Who and Lucius Vorenus! LOL. The others are all good choices too.
I think my favorite has gotta be Birds Of Prey. Bad movie, and kinda woke, but I had a blast with it and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Second favorite would have to be Love Hurts. It sucks but somehow really works for me.

I’m going with little known/flops.
Gataca Fandango Byrdy (might be Birdy, saw it when I was young) Head office (old HBO movie)

Can’t find any reference to the first one, I remember Head Office though.

Gataca was a more recent film, like 2008 or something. It starred Ethan Hawk, Jude Law and Uma Thurman. Ethan plays a naturally born person trying to excel in a world where only generically enhanced people seem to have any rights. It’s a little slow and cerebral but I like underdog stories. Fun fact, the name Gataca was derived from the four letters used to define genes G A T and C.
