What was the best "worst. movie. ever"?
I'm talking about that movie you saw that was so bad it was good.

Iron Sky. Nazi's left earth at the end of WW2 and made a base one the darkside of the moon. Sequel has dinosaurs...
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!!!"
Keanu Reeves, Dolph Lundgren, Ice-T, Henry Rollins....it had a hard time not being awesome despite the writing.
Finally something in this thread that I've seen (and is actually a bad movie). The "science" of this movie is hilariously inaccurate and the movie is kinda over the top. But it's a lot of fun!
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).
Cannibal: The Musical.
It's a reeeally early Trey Parker and Matt Stone creation. A live action comedy musical movie about the Donner party. Definitely a classic.
Not sure it fits “so bad it’s good.” The jokes the movie wants you to laugh at are the jokes you laugh at, so it is an effective comedy.
There are jokes you probably missed too. For example Trey bole up with his girl friend the week before making the movie, so they named the horse after her.
When they wake up in the Indian village and they are practicing karate. They didn't have any native Americans in their film school but had plenty of asain students.
Nope, knew about both of those. Another joke is the natives are speaking Japanese, not Comanche, and the teepees are the Japanese flag. Which is why the natives keep assuring everyone that they are, in fact, Indians.
The really awkward trapper song followed by them arguing about what key it was supposed to be in had me absolutely dying.
Better Off Dead.
An early John Cusack film by Savage Steve Holland co-creator of Eek! The Cat. How many montages can you fit in one movie?
Aww man, I love this movie! I'm also a fan of the Holland's other John Cusak film - One Crazy Summer.
It's not quite as good (or so fond of surreal moments), but I still enjoy it.
Agreed, One Crazy Summer is not quite as good. But it's available to stream on YouTube and will scratch the itch a bit :)
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.
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.
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
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.
When that happens, they are called "twin films" and it happens pretty regularly. https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/features/twin-films-hollywood-movies-volcano-deep-impact-armageddon-capote-infamous-florence-foster-jenkins-a8431091.html
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
Well, I'm convinced from that preview. Looks like the full movie is on youtube. Will have to check it out!
Idiocracy was a great movie when it was satire, alas it's now at best a documentary (at worst a 'what could have been if things were good' movie) Reality caught up and beat it, alas.
Nah, with how it goes in the world it's more a horror movie now instead of comedy.
It is almost as if humanity decided to see the movie as a challenge instead of a warning (or just plain entertainment, what it was meant to be).
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.
It's a crime no one has mentioned Neil Breen yet. I just came back from a showing of his latest film at an indie cinema. The whole place was so roudy and screaming at the film. I've never lost my voice watching a movie before 10/10.
