Con Air has been on AMC lately and got me to thinking about what are some people's favorite bad movies....   

I never turn off:  Air Force One, Under Siege 2 (so bad), Con Air

Getting close:  2012 ( it's so gloriously BAD....limo's and RV's outrunning earthquakes and volcanoes, terrible acting, terrible characters)  

And no one dare put Roadhouse in this thread.....it's a classic!

I've watched Battlefield Earth more than a couple of times. Horrible movie.

so BAD it's actually decent. like watching a modern Plan 9 From Outer Space AND I have actually seen WORSE SciFi's recently like Event Horizon (1997) and Silent Running  (1972).

most recent "turkeys" I sat thru recently were Chris Rock's Down to Earth (2001) which used the basic plot of Heaven Can Wait (1978) AND Clint Eastwood's Trouble with the Curve (2012). both were pretty much a waste

Oh and IF you want to see The Girl with Dragon Tatto, get the Swedish film with  Michael Nyqvist as Blomkvist and Noomi Rapace as "The Girl" Lisbeth and put up with the subtitles. MUCH better acted than the American version with Daniel Craig and skanky Rooney Mara

Sometimes I listen to EastCoast teams playing WestCoast teams @night on radio. I put  on the dvd  SHOWGIRLS(directors cut)NR-17 on running one click slo-mo and it runs 31/2 hours with no sound. All that slow motion stripclub,Vegas showroom,hottub "acting".

Strange Brew = Canadian cult classic with Dave Thomas and Rick Moranis as Bob and Doug McKenzie (NOT to forget "Hosehead" the dog)

Brain Donors.

Low budget early 90's. John Turturro is hilarious. Check it out if you haven't seen it.
