    So "Fletch Lives!" comes on the other night, and I got all excited because I haven't seen it in years. The wife watched it with me and tells me how stupid it is. I end up falling asleep, but she stays up till 11 or 12 and finished watching it. She said it was so bad, that it was good and she had to finish it.

    Anyway ...my short list:



    Fletch and Fletch Lives

    Overboard (with Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn)

    Captain Ron (another Kurt Russell gem)

    Naked Gun

    Don't tell mom the babysitter is dead (Applegate was hot)

    Dave

    What about Bob?



    Ill think of some more later on

    Fletch was not bad!

    Maybe Zoolander, although I hesitate to call anything I like 'bad'.

    My brother-in-law introduced me to, quite possibly, the worst movie of the color-film era:
    Extreme Limit (a.k.a. Crash Point Zero).
    We watched this movie in MST3K style, and had a great time.

    This movie is aweful. I mean REALLY aweful. If you watch it and verbally make fun of the countless technical flaws, bad acting, silly dialogue, and terrible story, I guarantee you will have a fun time.

    In another thread I called Mars Attacks! a celebration of schlock,
    a movie made with the intention of being so bad it was funny but Hippieloser et al. didn't see it that way.

    I think it was the original 'Tremors' where the giant worms come out from the sand and the most unlikely cast ever to grace a monster flick (Reba McIntyre?) wail away at them with a redneck arsenal...so bad...so good.

    Mommie Dearest
    Pootie Tang

    and...my alltime favorite bad movie fix....Streets of Fire

    Any movie that has Rick Moranis playing a music manager and the Blasters playing the house band in a futuristic dive bar....has got to be so bad that it's good!

    I thought this movie was succesful and acheived exactly what it was going for.

    I guess it is a small distinction, but I wouldn't call it bad for that reason. I would only call a movie bad that was trying to acheive one thing, but failed so miserably that it ended up being good.

    Reefer Madness is one of those for me.

    Arrowhead is also one that is so bad it is good. Charlton Heston plays a racist Army Scout who says such blatantly racist things about Apache's that it is laughable. Heston has a bitter combatitive attitude that only adds to the fun. The great thing about the movie is that he's supposed to be the hero.

    Death Blow: When someone tries to blow you up, not because of who you are, but for different reasons altogether.
