Best Worst Movie

[Wasted]

Flash Gordon. No argument is possible unless you take down the lightning field first.

Flesh Gordon is better 

[justdave]

Nope, I see your Craig T. Nelson, and raise you Max Von Sydow and Topol!

Making a campy, coy-but sexed-up version of Flash Gordon is kind of like opening a Hooters, but with tits. :)

I'm so tempted to go to an Ed Woods film night at the local vintage cinema (he's kinda sorta from the region). Plan 9 from Outer Space!

[Bunk]

Flesh Gordon - yea, we thought we were pretty cool watching that movie in our teens. But at that age, few things are funnier than penis shaped space ships.

Movie had one great scene in it. When the Sinbad style animated giant falls off the building, his laid-back exclamation of "Oh, fuck" - made a room full of drunk teenagers laugh for hours.

[Abagadro]

The sequal to Flesh Gordon is painfully bad.

[ahoythematey]

I can't think of too many right now, except The Pest, Roadhouse, and anything from the Troma label.

Even though I have yet to track it down and verify, I'm going to vote for this. Yet more proof that Yaphet Kotto is the black Paul Sorvino, and will act in anything.

[Tale]

I don't know why you all think this is about voting for a movie. It's about a movie called Best Worst Movie.

[stray]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Try to keep your precious little thread on topic, why don't you.

[justdave]

Hey, we can't help it if the thread title is the blood agar of internet movie discussion.
It's your fault we derailed this goddamn thing!

[Tale]

Analyze This! There Will Be Blood Before The Devil Knows You're Dead. It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World.

[ahoythematey]

Ohh!  I thought of a new one to add to the off-topicness!  Parents.

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead was watchable for exactly one reason.

Or two. Hur hur.

The movie wasn't being nominated in the derail or discussed.

I like that movie even beyond the Tomei tatas.

[Margalis]

I was just bashing it because it was brought up. I like grim movies but I don't like movies like that or A Simple Plan where the whole point is to torture the characters.

Dark Star is a "good" bad movie if you haven't seen it.  And there are few scenes funnier than Burt Reynolds and the vaseline in his boots in Showgirls.

Actual on-topic promo for the film this thread is about! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtfjpdW4-rs

That was Striptease, actually.

[Venkman]

Starship Troopers, hands down. 

Starship Troopers is deliberate, though.

Err, deliberately awful? With that budget?

I know they thought they were trying for a sequel to Robocop (with bugs) mixed with Good Ol' Fashioned American Knowhow, but the whole thing was a fail. Too bright, too colorful, too happy, too everything-you-don't-do if you want to be taken serious. They were way beyond 6000SUX here, into some stupid space reserved for the likes of Cannonball Run 2 (gods I still hate that cartoon wrapup at the end).

And I don't even need to have liked the book to hate this movie. It was just a bad movie.

Yep.  Still very, very funny though.  Striptease and showgirls are both abominations.

If we're derailed into bad, bad movies that tried hard, Johnny Depp's Secret Window is up there.

Also for hilarious movies that are bad, Teen Ape Goes to Camp, you scurvy-ass troglodyte.
