What movie is genuinely bad or most people consider bad, but is entertaining anyway?

The biggest surprise like that for me was Talladega Nights. I almost refused to see what looked like such a bad movie but I never laughed so hard
Dancin’: It’s On
Directed and produced by I’ve if the choreographers of Westside Story. He also put himself on this movie.
It is cringe.
But I have more info if anyone wants. I was living in Panama City when it was filmed. Lol
Reanimator
Anything done by mystery science theater 3000!! Especially the final sacrifice!
Mars Attacks
I don’t know if this counts as bad. It was an excellent movie, intentionally camp. And it worked
Top secret
Idiocracy 😀
Becoming less “movie” and more “documentary” daily
I think with current president, reality is worse than the movie…
The Sharknado movies.
My favourite scene is when there was a flood but the streets were only about 10cm under water and then the sharks were swimming in the streets eating people.
Or the one were a one of the tornado sharks came flying to eat the main character and the dude chainsawed the shark in half.
Does Velocipastor count? They knew exactly what they were doing and made a masterpiece, but it is undoubtedly a bad movie.
Star Wars prequels.
Y’all are missing some gems.
UHF
Frankenhooker
Spice World
The Star Wars Holiday Special is genuine torture
They Live
The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonsai
The Long Kiss Goodnight
Jaws: the Revenge
Orca
Manos: Hands of Fate shouldn’t even be considered a movie. AI can make better
Mac and Me
Start with that, see how it goes.
The core
That’s so funny I was going to post the exact same! Aaron Eckhart. Stanley Tucci. Unobtainium. It’s a classic!
IT’S THE WHALES
I love this movie. The premise is so silly, but the pacing is perfect and we get some surprisingly great performances. It’s also full of all the mid-2000s tech and military tropes. So much fun.
Better Off Dead (1985)
Lane Meyer (John Cusack) is a teen with a peculiar family and a bizarre fixation with his girlfriend, Beth (Amanda Wyss). When Beth dumps Lane, he decides to kill himself, making bumbling attempts at suicide. Outside his morbid endeavors, Lane spends time with his oddball buddy, Charles (Curtis Armstrong), and befriends Monique (Diane Franklin), a visiting French student. Eventually, Lane resolves to race Beth’s obnoxious new beau on the ski slopes, with unexpected results.
there are so. many. montages.
Where’s my two dolllllllllarrrrrrrrs?
Love this movie.
“Man, that’s a real shame when folks be throwing away a perfectly good white boy like that”
Lane Meyers. Truly a sight to behold. A man beaten. The once great champ, now, a study in mopishness. No longer the victory hungry stallion we’ve raced so many times before, but a pathetic, washed up, aged ex-champion.
Edit: also, this isn’t a good “bad movie” but an excellent great movie.
Evil Dead.
Any evil dead movie, though army of darkness is my favourite. “Youre going down” followed by “going up *goes up stairs*”
Army of Darkness, assuming self-parodies are allowed.
