Nacho Libre and Three Amigos.

Starship Troopers is legitimately a good movie that people thought was a bad one because they missed the satire.

^This. I'm a big sci-fi guy and hate the book so much I never even finished it so I sort of dug the movie.

Grandma's Boy has a 15% Rotten Tomatoes splat but it always make's me laugh, especially any scene with Dante the stoner in it.

Nacho Libre and Three Amigos.

Three Amigos was excellent at the time it was made
Hot Tub Time Machine has so many nuggets from the 80’s I think it was good and not a good bad movie
Is footloose a bad good movie or just a good movie. I mean something about everyone in the town being able to dance like pros at the end, while never being allowed to dance, kind of makes me think it’s a good bad movie

I love the original Thing movie. It was a classic that I watched so many times with friends in HS and I looked forward to watching the remake with my kids. I guess I was focused on “Favorite” in the title and I assumed the bad was for “lower budget”. I didn’t watch it in a theater. I don’t recall it being that big of a deal. The first I knew of it was when a buddy that worked at a grocery store brought it home from the stores VHS rental selection for all of to watch with several other low budget movies. It was then a regular in our viewings because it was great fun.

Well it did tank when it came out and didn't find its footing until the home VHS market. Wasn't necessarily bad though, just not financially successful originally.

A lot of the stuff said on the thread I think are actually good movies, just not viewed highly critically. Doesn't really mean their a bad movie. To me, bad movies are obviously bad. Like you don't watch them to actually laugh at the jokes or anything, its more finding enjoyment in the crappiness of the movie.

Troll 2 is probably the definitive example of that, just watch this scene:

It gets more and more accurate every year

Some I'd have to watch again maybe to make sure.

Many have been mentioned, first that came to mind:

Robin Hood Prince of Thieves

The Wizard

TMNT 2, Vanilla Ice Ninja Rap style.

I was waiting for someone to mention Robin Hood Prince of Thieves! I love that movie. It has amazing music and some great actors (Costner, Morgan Freeman, and Alan Rickman), but is so cheesy. It’s not good as a serious Robin Hood movie but is highly entertaining nonetheless. I laugh out loud every time I watch it.

Also, here’s a trivia question. Does anyone recognize the main theme and know what else it was used for?

 

[NWICY]

10 pages in and no one mentioned those fine cinematic events that were the Cheech and Chong movies.
As far as a just flat out bad movies Megadolon was terrible .

 

[Althetuna]

Any '70's disaster movie

 

[JM4CY]

Nacho Libre

I LOVE this movie

 

[CYEATHAWK]

Sharky's Machine.

Most of the movie is edible but that ending from the bad guy falling out the window, to Sharky in the playground to that last number in a matter of seconds is just..............bad. Yet I watch it every time it's on.

 

[Nor'MidWester]

Miami Connection. It's so bad but has such a big heart.
It's got ninjas, it's got 80s Orlando including the UCF campus, it's got a Tae Kwon do rock band, it's got biker gang warfare etc. I could go on and on.

The great thing about these threads is that there's thousands that go unnamed.

Stuff that barely saw the light of day.

Rickman was really great in it actually. Basically carried the movie.

 

[BCClone]

Caddy shack. It is honestly bad but I love it.

 

[JM4CY]

Are the Austin Powers movies qualified for this thread? I watched two of them awhile back and they are still, for the most part, funny as hell.

 

[Carlisle Clone]

I really enjoyed Young Guns 2 when i was a kid. Revisiting it as an adult....not so much.

Rickman was really great in it actually. Basically carried the movie.

Sheriff of Nottingham (Rickman) : "Locksley. I'll cut your heart out with a spoon."
