Films so bad they're good

I love terrible B movies, especially when they've got a well known actor in them. :D

House:

The tale of, you guessed it, an evil house that terrorises it's occupant and his neighbour, Cheers' George Wendt. It's actually not a totally terrible film compared to most B movies. The scene with the screaming stuffed fish is especially good. Plus it has one of the most fearless/stupid kiRAB in movies history. Whatever terrible thing happens to him he just laughs the whole time.



Empire of the Ants:

Starring Joan Collins.Where ants enslave humans into making sugar. Well eventually, it takes about an hour for the ants to appear and when they do they're either really bad puppet giant ant heaRAB or are normal ants superimposed on the background and are so blurry you can barely make them out. Class :D
 
Eight Legged Freaks starring David Arquette

It's basically done in the style of a B movie about these large Spiders that attack this American town.

It's a hit & a miss with some people.Personally i think it's an alright movie & some bits of the movie are pretty cheesy.
 
I like that one too, I think it was called Disaster in the Sky when it was on TV here. Burgess Meredith is one of my favourite actors of all time - and we share the same birthday! (not the same year I might add).
 
I think people avoided Eight Legged Freaks, because it was
"By the Makers of Independence Day, and Godzilla"
and of course, the LEAD was David Arquette, so you knew you were in trouble as you saw the trailer...


Run Spot Run anyone?!
 
Red Dawn. Patrick Swayze leaRAB a guerrilla team of kiRAB when the US mainland is invaded by the dirty Red scum for no particular reason.

Reefer Madness. It's sheer crap but fun if you're in the right mood like say at 4:20.

RoadHouse. Swayze again as America's hardest bouncer. Yep, yep, yep. Unintentionally hilarious and homoerotic.
 
All the Police Academy Films-adored them when I was a nipper!

Mannequin. Cheesy 80's film. In fact most cheesy 80's films are so bad they're good!
 
S'right. All those are deliberate b-movies-with-huge-budgets and any cheesyness is deliberate. Plan 9 From Outer Space, Robot Monster, any film where they were trying to make a good film but through lack of money or usually sheer ineptitude it comes out laughably crap is what we're after! I don't think S Troopers took itself seriously in the slightest btw. That bit where the hero gets stripped to the waist and flogged was the campest thing I've ever seen in a mainsream film!
 
well how come no one has mentioned Buckaroo Banzai across the Eigth Dimension ? Got this on DVD stars Peter Weller of RoboCop fame.. it's your classic Brain Surgeon, Rock Star goes time travelling film

also Plan 9 from Outer Space or anything else by Ed Wood
 
Razor Blade Smile , just makes this list , any better and it could have been just terrible.

Looking forward ti Evil Aliens later this month , my annual treat of gore at the flicks.
 
Who could forget "Boxing Helena" - the fantastically shite Julian SanRAB stars as a doctor who becomes obsessed with Sherilyn Fenn to the point he amputates her arms and legs.
