I love a good movie, but I also LOVE a bad movie. If you're like me and can appreciate a movie of the lowest quality, then I highly recommend "birdemic: shock and terror". Invite some friends over for a sophisticated evening of wine, fine cheese, and some of the worst acting you will ever see!
It's on Netflix streaming, the last time I checked.
Have any bad movies to recommend?
My husband and I love bad movies. Some of the one's we've seen on Netflix recently are Trollhunter; Burn, Witch, Burn; The Gate; and The Dark Side of the Moon. If you are looking for something newer, the original movies on the SyFy and Chiller networks are usually pretty awful. :D
Haha, we sometimes like to watch really bad movies. If you like old movies, Monster On Campus is hilarious; probably my favorite bad old movie of all time. In it, a scientist (on campus) is studying a primitive fish and somehow the blood of the fish turns things into their larger, crazier, primitive ancesters. Like, a dog licks up some of the blood and turns into a sabre tooth monster dog (best line in the movie: "That dog's a throwback!") and a dragonfly that lands on the fish or something turns into a giant "cave" dragonfly. The hilarious part is that the effects are not permanent, and the way to avoid temporarily turning into a "throwback" is to simply not ingest the primitive fish's bodily fluids. And yet our hapless scientist seems incapable of keeping the primitive fish juice out of his mouth, leading to his ultimate checked-shirt wearing cave man demise. Priceless.
Also funny is The Killer Shrews, but mostly only the part where we get a good look at the killer shrews to find that they appear to be medium to large breed dogs in rastafarian wigs. (That dog's a....oh never mind.)
I have to recommend Bad Taste
Peter Jackson played two characters,
Was camera man, director, script writer, special effect maker, actor, producer...
He sometimes found himself alone on set and grabbed some people walking by the beach, stuck the camera in their hands and started acting in front of them.
Took him 4 years because he had a day job and could only work on it at nights and week-ends.
Anyway, the end result was superb, gore but funny as hell, the vomit scene will have you wriggling in your seat!

And I highly recommend watching this epic flick via Rifftrax. Can't be beat.
And then watch, "The Room" via Rifftrax.
The best double feature EVER!
Try The Eye of the Serpent. The acting is so bad that you may wonder if the entire cast has had a complete acting lesson between them.
the Australia movie.
The actors are normally decent actors, especially Nicole Kidman, but for this movie it seems she took a boot camp course on atrocious acting.
I love bad SciFi movies from the 50'ies, like "Plan 9 from Outer Space" and "Attack of the 50 Foot Woman"
Has anyone seen "Thankskilling" and "Santa's slay"?
I watch em during the holidays with friends to keep sane. ;D
I love bad movies. One I remember from childhood, but haven't seen in a long time, is a Japanese flick called "Attack of the Mushroom People". That's pretty much the whole plot right there.

Another normally reliable actor in a bad movie is David Janssen in Moon of the Wolf.
I love a good bad movie... but it has to be of a certain awful quality.
For example, I tried watching "Chillerama", but it was actually *too* bad.
... and "Arachnoquake" wasn't bad enough.
Troll 2, Plan 9, Flash Gordon, and Fantastic Invasion of Planet Earth in 3D - these are in the zone for me.
and most of the mst3k line, of course!
I love a really bad flick but also WTF!-flicks like Holy Mountain. The old Cannon Group films would probably fall into the "bad" category but I love me some cheesy action flicks. If you want really bad and cheesy action, check out Deadly Prey (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CScyXlIMCU)
Caveman - Dennis Quaid, Ringo Starr, etc. It's like a bunch of guys got together on Saturday afternoon and said "let's make a really sucky movie." It's a parody of itself - it knows it's bad. It has like 8 words in the whole movie, and they are in "Caveman speak." For example, "zug zug" is "sex." Multiple fart, shit and piss scenes.
