I get hella stoned and watch Foodfight! at least once a year. It’s my “favorite” movie.
Everything about it, from the implied beastiality between Charlie Sheen and Hillary Duff, to the weird gay bat, to the shitweasel 
is a masterclass in what not to do in a movie. It transcends badness and becomes something sublime. The entire plot is about how store brands/generics are Nazis, and one of the Nazis absolutely chews the scenery in a way that makes Brian Blessed look reserved.
Another one: Orgazmo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orgazmo
By the guys of South Park.
By all accounts The Boondock Saints is a “bad” movie but we all watched it when we were 12 and thought it was fucking awesome and still do.
Oh no. I haven’t watched it since I was a teenager, please don’t ruin my memories.
it’s legitimately awful
Can’t be, it has Willem Dafoe chewing the scenery
There was a FIREFIGHT!!!
Bad? By whom? I fucking love that film.
I heard this was a cult classic or something. I was disappointed. Dafoe is the only good part
Glad others think so. I never cared for it. All my friends loved it.
Super Mario Bros. 1993. It is by far the movie that puts the biggest “fun” smile on my face, especially when watching it stoned. It’s so goofy in the best way and comes across as funny in a way that makes me have fun with it every time.
the amount of slime in that movie makes it impossible for me to watch stoned. Like, if I got that slimey, while stoned, I would be freaking the fuck out. Great movie though. I still love John Luigi-zamo
I mentioned Rifftrax in another comment, but the Rifftrax version of this and Street Fighter are two of my favorite things ever.
Equilibrium (2002) wasn’t well received when it came out. I think it’s still “bad” on RT but imdb has it at 7.3 now. I don’t care if gun-kata is silly and dumb, it looks cool as fuck.
The end fight where he slides the clips for future use is chef kiss good
“Sense offender!”
It’s the Matrix except the main character has the same name as my Dad. So, A+
I definitely gave up on it half way through and made up my own ending.
This was one of my favorites as a kid. It was heavily influenced by The Matrix obviously
In the DVD commentary, the writer/director talked about how he’d had the basic idea, including gun kata, since high school. He could have been lying but I think he was honest and this was sort of a case of independent parallel ideas, since somebody turbo nerdy enough to come up with gun kata probably had influence from Hong Kong action movies that similarly influenced The Matrix.
The action style and flow is much different than The Matrix, and while both plots are about fighting the system, Equilibrium is much more straight forwardly grabbing elements from classic dystopias.
I feel like I saw that too… DVD extras were great
The tagline on the movie box even said as much: “Forget ‘The Matrix’! This movie will blow you away!”
I don’t think that proves much besides marketing people slapping anything on a cover long after the movie was made.
The Riddick Chronicles. Bad acting, bad CGI, Simple stupid inconsistent plot, one dimensional characters. perfect bad sci-fi.
I have a real soft spot for how absurdly bad/good those films are.
I liked them and have seen far worse. But to each their own.
Velocipastor is an amazing bad movie that intended to be bad. There’s even a scene where a car explodes and it’s just some text that says “VFX of car exploding”
It’s about a pastor that can turn into a velociraptor… When there’s gore it’s like obviously fake, like a head rolls off and it’s clear as day that it’s a mannequin head. It’s so bad it’s amazing.
Oh yeah, and there are ninjas.
And the fact every flashback of the pastor was in a church of a different denomination lol
Kung pow enter the fist. Steve oedekerk, not Bob, intentionally made a bad movie by over dubbing rewriting bad 70s martial arts films. It’s absurd and stupid. I love it.
They said bad movie. This is a masterpiece.
So many good quotes from that film.
THAT’S A LOTTA NUTS!
We trained him wrong, on purpose, as a joke!
Master Pain: From this day forward, you will all refer to me by the name Betty! Ah ha, ha-ha-ha-haaaa!
Eeeeeeeeeeevil Betty…
Stuff I haven’t seen mentioned yet:
1984 Dune. It’s one of my favorite movies period.
Return of the Killer Tomatoes is on my top 10 favorite bad movies I’d say. Top 20 at least.
The Tune (Bill Plympton movie).
Clue (and very similar Murder By Death)
Empire Records
Cool as Ice (Rifftrax edition)
Actually, on that front - The Room + Birdemic (Rifftrax edition)
Zardoz
Original Little Shop of Horrors
How is Clue bad?!
Murder By Death
“I found a bullet hole…. Never mind”
Clue
“Sorry, I meant no meaning yes.”
"No meaning yes?"
The Mummy (1999) I believe was panned by critics at release, but I think it’s an absolutely fantastic and humorous adventure film.
It’s a solid 10. Brendan Fraser’s finest work.
Not yet seen mentioned:
UHF - Weird Al’s good-bad classic
Spice World - The Spice Girls knew what they were doing.
Shaolin Soccer - Yes, Ninjas would be good at sports.
Kung Fu Hustle is a good companion movie to Shaolin Soccer.
That Speed Racer movie that the Wachowskis made. I’m not gonna pretend it’s underrated, and I’m not gonna try to convince you to like it. They made it for me and me alone.
That movie is so good!!!
They just released a remastered Blu-ray of it! I bought the disc, but I didn’t actually have a Blu-ray player, so idk if they did a good job with the remaster yet.
Thanks for mentioning this! I just ordered it.
A remaster??? I hope they made it more colorful.
It’s fantastic. They didn’t bother to make it “relatable” or “more realistic”, just “we’re literally doing, shot for shot, the anime as a movie, and fuck you if you don’t like it”. It’s shameless, joyful fun the entire way, and honestly more movies should embrace the camp and just run with it.
People didn’t like that? It’s my favorite movie to watch on acid or shrooms.
Oh god I could not handle that
Sucker Punch
The internet loves to shit on it. I’ve always enjoyed it. It’s a visual/audio treat.
See I never got that either. There is some kind of story about escapism and dealing with trauma in there, but it’s definitely second fiddle to the fact that you get to see badass ladies with samurai swords running a bunny mech through ww1 trenches and fighting giant samurai with a gatling gun. Sure it’s dumb, but so is Fast and Furious
It’s a genius retelling of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. It’s also schlocky, pointless, fanservice-y action. It’s dumb and I kind of love it.
the extended cut is a genuinely compelling narrative on top of the impressive variety of aesthetics & action sequences. folks are welcome to find it cringey and overdone but that’s a matter of taste. it’s a little too porny for me as a grown ass man but i thought it was great fun as a teen, go figure.
the pg-13 theatrical cut was hot dog water that left the emotional climax of the film on the cutting room floor.
The Cat in the Hat (2004) is my pick. I loved it as a kid and I still love it as an adult. Lots of humor for all ages and all the practical props and sets are so neat.
Bubba Ho-Tep. Bruce Campbell is a still-alive Elvis forgotten in a nursing home. He’s got to fight a mummy that’s sucking the souls out of old people’s assholes. Also Black JFK assists. It really shouldn’t work, but it somehow manages to.
Yeah, but this is a good movie
I actually saw Bruce do a Q&A after this movie in a theater when it came out. Crazy afternoon.
Were you at Toronto film festival? Maybe he also did it at other theaters
This was in DC, IIRC
The Drafthouse? RIP OG drafthouse
No this was in DC
Bio dome! It’s horrible, and I love it.
I remember sympathizing with the villain through nearly the whole thing.
The only sane choice when idiots are destroying the planet and blaming you for not being happy about the party, is to go insane and try and kill the polluters.
