So bad it's good movies

You know what I mean right, bad acting, bad sets, bad everything but it becomes a cult classic?

Top of my list Plan 9 From Outer Space

Love the scenes filmed after Bela Lugosi died and they have the other guy going around with his cape over his face. and the bouncing gravestones!! LOVE IT!!

Evil Dead I and II and Army of Darkness.  I would kill to see Evil Dead the Musical.  Or do the necronomicon, whichever comes first.

Armageddon.  Terrible, but one of my favorites.  If you watch it with the idea that it's a comic book come to life, it's not as bad.

I completely love the Mummy movies with Brendan Fraser.  The plot holes are big enough to drive a train through, but I don't care because I love them.  (Except the third, which I didn't see because it looks bad bad rather than good bad). 

The one that came out around the same time as Armageddon called Deep Impact is even better in its awfulness.  The thing is, as I mentioned in the tear jerker thread, I cry at practically anything in a film/tv show/novel, so even though I find both of those films incredibly bad and recognise when the film makers are being manipulative, I still cry during both of them.  Especially during the wave scene in DI.

A lot of made for TV movies are so bad they're good, but not in an Ed Wood sort of way.  You absolutely have to be able to watch bad movies with someone you can pick on them with.  It's really horrible to watch a film that's hilariously bad with someone who takes it seriously.

Has anyone seen The Room yet?

The Three Amigos with Martin Short, Chevy Chase and Steve Martin...I love that movie

Deep Impact was like the world's longest TV disaster movie!  It could've aired in the 70's as Tidal Wave '77.

This topic has now reminded me of The Day After.  I remember how big it was at the time, but hadn't seen it since the mid-80's.  Here in the UK it airs every few months on some crap channel on Sky, and I saw it again recently.  It's really bad.

I was totally thinking about The Day After when I woke up today.  I had a dream which reminded me of Northern Exposure, and in my semi-awake state I was like "I wonder of John Cullum's (who was in both The Day After and Northern Exposure) family got shot after he did in 'TDA'." It's really not as random as it sounds.  I am big into PA fiction/film and I only remember that dood in those two things, so there's the association.  TDA was pretty awful, but I didn't see it at the time because I was too young.  When I saw it like ten years later, it had lost its impact.

TDA can't hold up to either Threads or Testament, but I am glad that it (supposedly) gave Reagan pause for thought about winnable nuclear wars.

ETA:  But more on the so bad it's good topic with The Day After, after thinking about it, I agree.  That farm next to the silo, Jason Robard's daughter's final scene, the chuch scene, people in movie theaters and performing surgery when there's about to be a global nuclear war, the scene with the orange/apple whatever...yeah, it probably does venture into so bad it's good territory.
