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.
Quentin Tarantino on Russ Meyer and “Super Vixens.”
If you like movies you should know Russ.
Faster Pussycat Kill Kill
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.
Chalet Girl - Solid B level romcom with Bill Nighy, Ed Westwick, and Felicity Jones. Story is kinda plain, but it’s one of my go to movies to cheer me up
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.

They Live and From Beyond are the two I immediately think of.
