    The Sharknado movies.

    My favourite scene is when there was a flood but the streets were only about 10cm under water and then the sharks were swimming in the streets eating people.

    Or the one were a one of the tornado sharks came flying to eat the main character and the dude chainsawed the shark in half.

    The biggest surprise like that for me was Talladega Nights. I almost refused to see what looked like such a bad movie but I never laughed so hard

    They Live

    The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonsai

    The Long Kiss Goodnight

    Jaws: the Revenge

      I love this movie. The premise is so silly, but the pacing is perfect and we get some surprisingly great performances. It’s also full of all the mid-2000s tech and military tropes. So much fun.

      I still can’t figure out if Tommy is being laughed at or with regarding that movie. It’s so entertainingly bad, but he made a series (whose name escapes me) after that that managed to also be entertainingly bad. I can’t tell if his taste is accidentally hilarious or if he figured out how to bottle lightning and can just make hilariously bad media on a whim.

      It’s hard to walk that line without drifting into satire territory, becomming a self-parody, or going too far the other way from hilariously bad to just bad.

      I lean more towards him doing it deliberately from the start because he pivoted so easily to the comedy series. I suspect he would have had a meltdown about the public reception if his personality was really like the Tommy Wiseau character he plays.

      Though I am pretty sure that a significant part of his motivation was to have sex with (or at least a sex scene with, no idea if they actually did it like in a porno or just simulated it like on most movies) Gabrielle from Xena.

        I don’t like his material after “The Room”, it feels way too unauthentic and forced self-parody to me, even if he manages to make it funny bad again (but not really same tone as the movie).

        In “The Room” he’s definitely being his authentic self trying to make what his idea of “good” movie was, you can read about it in Greg Sestero’s (Mark in the movie) and Tom Bissell book “The Disaster Artist” if you doubt with what intention he made the movie. Or even listen to it in audiobok form, Greg does amazing impression of Tommy and sheds lots of background info on their history and how the movie came to be

    Better Off Dead (1985)

    Lane Meyer (John Cusack) is a teen with a peculiar family and a bizarre fixation with his girlfriend, Beth (Amanda Wyss). When Beth dumps Lane, he decides to kill himself, making bumbling attempts at suicide. Outside his morbid endeavors, Lane spends time with his oddball buddy, Charles (Curtis Armstrong), and befriends Monique (Diane Franklin), a visiting French student. Eventually, Lane resolves to race Beth’s obnoxious new beau on the ski slopes, with unexpected results.

    there are so. many. montages.

      Lane Meyers. Truly a sight to behold. A man beaten. The once great champ, now, a study in mopishness. No longer the victory hungry stallion we’ve raced so many times before, but a pathetic, washed up, aged ex-champion.

      Edit: also, this isn’t a good “bad movie” but an excellent great movie.

    Twilight. If nothing more than to count the red flags and use it as a teaching tool for young teens on what not to do in romantic relationships.

    Mom and Dad Save the World [1992] even as an 8 year old I understood this was a bad movie by so many standards but enjoyed it anyway. The injection. The muscly bird people. The fish people. Probably the first thing I ever saw Jon Lovitz in and I will forever see Spengo in any other character he ever plays.

    You can pick only one? There’s so many!

    • Yogahosers
    • Llamagedon
    • Velocipastor
    • Holyman Undercover
    • Kung Fury
    • Empire Queen: Golden age of magic

    Like choosing a top five is hard (yes I know that’s six).

    It also depends on who you’re watching with. Any “bad” movie is the worst, or the best, depending on group ability to vibe with it
