Really Awesome Terrible Movies

Good one! I really liked Cube too.

Delving into the 90s brings about a whole other level of awfulness, but here's one of my ALL TIME FAVORITES that I totally forgot about:

IMHO, the "Made for TV" movies of the 70's were the best of the greasy, cheezy B classic horror films. Nothing was off-limits...werewolves, vampires, occult, witches and my personal fav...Gargoyles circa 1972!

Grab some Jiffy Pop, your adult beverage of choice and relive the days before videos and Netflicks...bwwwhhh.

I am trying to star you but it isn't working.

I love that movie. I actually meet the entire cast and crew. Had them sign a poster that is hangining in my mancave. They were really nice people.

The Pirahna 3D movie is one of my faves....

Yep god awful movies, but you just have to watch them to the end.. Here's one I watched the other night..

Four (bad) actors, three locations and time travel, it's a must watch. lol..



Cant believe, so far it's got 7.2 Ratings from 27,700 users on IMDb..

This should fill the bill!

At least I hope the link works. Anyway this movie, "Ahhhh Zombies!!!" is me and my husbands ultimate favorite "bad movie"! Certainly it must've gotten an award?

It is another "found footage" style movie but this time it is in alien style. I actually enjoyed it, well the second half i was half busy when I started it. I just saw it and never heard from it before but it is a movie from 2011.

Bad taste is with those aliens and flying house right?

What was the other movie of Peter with the zombies? I liked that one too but cant recall the name

The Acid House

Is pretty funny too

Woah. Why is Cube on this list? That film is far from terrible. The acting is pretty hammy, and it was made on a low budget, but that doesn't make it a terrible movie. If you can look past the cheesy performances, it is highly original, has a wonderful atmosphere and is brimming with a wonderful underbelly of subtext. I'd go so far as to say it's definitely one of the best sci-fi films of the 90s. What it lacks in a Hollywood budget and special effects team, it more than makes up for in ingenuity.

I disagree with Ong Bak as well. There are a host of shockingly bad Kung Fu movies out there to choose from, but I wouldn't call Ong Bak one of them. It's a gem of a martial arts film. It has great production values, awesome set pieces, and amazing choreography. So, the plot could probably be written down on a matchbox, and it's all about style rather than substance. But, that is the basis of the genre. You don't watch a martial arts film for the character development. Ultimately, I think this one comes down to taste, rather than just good or bad. Otherwise, the implication is that there is no such thing as a 'good' Kung Fu film, which I would very much disagree with.

This is exactly WHY I think it made the list! Cheesy performance and low budget set it into the terrible movie class, while all the wonderful aspects you pointed out make it classify as awesome. Awesome terrible movie.

As for ong bak (which I never can remember the name of, I always want to call it bong cok for some reason lol) I just don't care for martial arts movies at all, so I don't think I am personally a very good judge of this one. Maybe whoever posted that one can enlighten us on why it was chosen!
