Oh how gloriously bad some movies are

So, since you all are presumably here due to some interest in one or another of the orange belt comics, I can only assume that you have an interest in somewhat sarcastic humor, and can enjoy laughing at other's failure. (particularly you Zelda Comic fans, that poor guy can't ever get a break, and you all just laugh at his pain.) As such your probably MST3K fans, and if you're not, I can only assume you haven't seen it. (you should, it's great.)

Anyways, my point is: HUZZAH FOR BAD MOVIES!!! It is time to compile a list of the worst of the worst, for us to all enjoy and laugh at. So, a couple ground rules: MST3K episodes don't count (After this point, there is to be no mention of This Island Earth, Manos Hands of Fate, that World of Batwoman movie, etc.) No Ed Wood: we all know Plan 9 From Outer Space is terrible, so there's no need. Really.

A few of my favorites:

the low budget: keeping b movies alive!!!
Game Over
Curse of the Komodo
Hangman's Curse*
Deep Shock*
and almost any movie that David Keith has a leading role in (i.e. Sabretooth, All Souls Day, etc. and some of the above noted with *.)

the high budget: how did they get funding for this?
Anything starring The Rock-ster or the Vin Dies-ster
Anacondaz (I added the z for emphasis, and Ice Cubesis)
Torque
RPM

and soooo many more, but I leave the rest of the list (at least mostly) up to you.

Oh and by the way, Conor and I have decided the new phrase is:
WWDKD: What Would David Keith Do?

    Hey man, Anaconda is quality filmstuffs! There's that big scary slithery snake guy that's trying to kill everyone, what's his name? Oh yeah, Jon Voight. And a wasp stings a dude in the throat.

    I think we're all forgetting You Got Served.

    Seriously, the servitude is off the charts.

    Frankenfish comes to mind.

    Oh! And Alien Apocalypse. But, it has Bruce Cambell in it as the lead, so... how could it not?

    Before I make my contribution to the list of "bad movies," I must correct a grave injustice. You stated that "any movie starring the Vin Dies-ster" is a bad movie. However, this inclusionary statement suggests that "Pitch Black" was a bad movie. You deserve to be stabbed in the eyes for suggesting such a thing.
    Retract your statement now, or I will kill you. Thanks, and have a pleasant day.

    Now, as for my addition to the bad movie list:

    Batman and Robin. This is the single worst movie I've ever seen, and I'm probably going to die 3 or 4 years earlier than I normally would have, simply by having watched this movie.

    I submit to the list: Judge Dredd, starring one (1): Sylvester Stallone.

    I agree with Khan, Pitch Black was totally badass. It even had Australians in it.

    But if you're looking for truly abysmal, you tend to need to look no further than werewolf movies. They are generally so badly made it's just sad.

    Although I guess that does make the good ones that much better. But still.

    Hey, don't get me wrong, Pitch Black was 90 minutes of entertaining film. BUT, the script was terrible.
    i.e. "They say most of your brain shuts down during cryo-sleep. All but the primitive side, the animal side. No wonder I'm still awake."
    I mean, c'mon, they were one step shy of "I know Kung Fu." "Show me."
    So many BAD one liners, tacky plot devices, and poor child acting that I laughed a lot and enjoyed it. And besides, isn't pitch black guilty by association with Chronicles of Riddick (both the movie and the video game)???
    Then again, it may have been tainted for me since I had seen XXX before Pitch Black, and couldn't help but to laugh every time the Vin Dies-ster opened his mouth...

    And, as for Anaconda, no no, I said AnacondaZ (I even added a z for emphasis and Ice cubeness,) Anacondas being the second of the Anaconda films, not that Anaconda was particularly good either...

    Hercules. The one from 1983 with Lou Ferrigno. he makes the continents by seperating Europe and Africa, and throws a bear into space.

    Ice Cube was in Anaconda, not the sequel.

    "Dukes of Hazzard".

    EDIT: No! Dukes of Hazzard is a GOOD bad movie. It might even be just a plain ol' good movie. A BAD bad movie was Xanadu. Never, never watch Xanadu.
