Favorite CRAPPY movie - ONE PICK ONLY!

[david_b]

'Magical Mystery Tour', 'Head' by the Monkees, 'Big Top PeeWee', 'Barbarella', can't recall too many others.

Maybe 'Planet Terror' with the zombies..

I think of crappy in these terms - everyone TRIED to make a good and normal movie - things didn't really work out. IMDB ratings might help in some cases for figuring out if a movie is crappy, or just silly, I guess.

For my choices, I can admit the movie isn't very good, but there's something about them that appeal to me. Escape From L.A. has the plot stolen directly from Escape From New York but handled in a really stupid and unrealistic fashion. Sleepaway Camp is a really low budget horror film and the "actors" are terrible. And Kiss Meets the Phantom is just bad from wall to wall.

HOWEVER: Escape From L.A. is fun and Snake Plisskin is the greatest movie character ever created so I'll watch that over and over. Sleepaway Camp has an amazing twist ending and final scene that still disturbs me. And Kiss has good live concert footage and some goofy scenes of Kiss fighting robots, so that's another I put on a couple of times a year.

Hopefully that will help you with your picks!

OK Sharry, please don't get mad at me cause it's all in fun, but I think you are suffering from a case of thread dyslexia here. You have "The Wiz" over in the good movie thread and the entire 50's horror/sci-fi genre over here in this thread???...

Just kidding, I value your opinion as much as anyone's! And you can't get mad at me, cause I am working on your WW episodes this weekend!

Ok, I won't get mad at you...but if I had to narrow it down to one favorite bad movie, I'll say Tarantula.

No...it might be slow and ponderous...but it's a visual spectacle...and this might shock you...but I think it's the most "realistic" of all the Trek movies.

Thank you.., I've been trying to figure out why I like as much as the best Trek films. That's a pretty good way to explain it, actually.

Visually spectacular, minimal in hammy acting, and the only film to actually, well, 'take you on an exploratory journey', if that makes any sense.. (referencing the 'Directors Cut' here).

Others might have been more entertaining, but TMP's still my favorite.

There's nothing shocking about that IMO.

Some the greatest movie stuff has that odd "real time" feel to it.

One movie that comes to mind is DOG DAY AFTERNOON...ponderous as hell
but a real raw feel to it.

The START of the Polanski/Harrison Ford movie FRANTIC is like that
----and it gets jumpier as it goes....which maybe ST:TMP should have
done

I have to admit --why wouldn't it be cool to see Han Solo, Peter Venkman or
Indiana Jones in a scene like that for once....like as a bonus scene on a
DVD or something...it'd be cool enough just if you were a big fan of the
character.

The Punisher with Thomas Jane. Pure, stinking, messy crap...but I love it.

Also...The first set of Star Wars movies (Episodes 1-3). I know they are crappy, but I still love to watch them with my boys.

I want to make my own edit of the 3---it'd still be about 4 hrs.... it'd be
ROTSITH heavy and I wouldn't cringe as much

A quick glance through my DVDs netted a few nominations. I guess crappy is relative since if I thought the movie was crappy I wouldn't have purchased it. I'm guessing these might fit the bill but of course I really like them:

CutThroat Island with Geena Davis.

Godzilla -the Matthew Broderick one.

Van Helsing

Swamp Thing starring Adrienne Barbeau

Kull : with Kevin Sorbo ...

Man , I can Watch this Movie like 4 times a week, and I never Get Tired of It at all. I think it's fantastic. I think Tia Carrere is so Hot too.

I like all those Movies...

Alot of people thought Ed Wood (with Johnny Depp) Was bad but I watch it every halloween

and a close second for me is Kiss Meets the Phantom of the park (come on and addmit it you all like it to)

ED WOOD is an amazing film, His biography done in an ED WOOD style! Brillaint, and it has the line"I like to wear women's clothes!"
