Best bad movies?

[the_semen_incident]

Sorry if this is an old discussion, but I need new movies to entertain myself, and sample for dumb song intros and industrial muzak (or something like that...)

I'm looking for the most horrendously shitty movies you can come up with! (preferably B horror movies, but I'd take any suggestions)

Like... bottom of the barrel shitty, yet hilarious stuff... stuff that's not so bad that it's just boring.

Stuff that's fucking AMAZING, but for all the wrong reasons...

This could open up a can of worms. There's a whole world of incredibly good bad movies out there and rather than overwhelming you with an endless list, I would first like to point you toward a single film. That film is......

we had some differing opinions about zardoz, back in the day. i personally didn't think much of it on a watch-through, but the laughs i had in the first two minutes of the commentary track were some of the most explosive of my life.

Zardoz rules.
I'd also give "Wormeaters" my highest recommendation.

thanks for the suggestions so far. I'll try to track down torrents for these (assuming I can't find them cheap anywhere.)
I need to clear up some harddrive space first.

Just to let you know, Eegah is in the public domain and should be available for free stream or download at various locales.

i'd so much prefer watching the mst3k version, though. is that cheating?

If you can get a copy of this, do so...

Anyone seen "Spiderbaby"? It's been a while since I saw it, but I remember enjoying it a lot at the time.

Yes.... but I will concede that if it wasn't for mst3k there wouldn't be nearly enough people aware of Manos: Hand of Fate.

It's quite a good one. There's a remake due for release later this year apparently.

ABSOLUTELY NOT.
You might even get some enjoyment from it, which you most certainly will not without it.
Eegah is one of the most dire movies I have ever seen. ALL caveman gets frozen and thawed out in modern day time he is all confused and shit and hilarity ensues movies are SHIT. There are NO exceptions. Encino Man is shit, that one with Ringo Starr, Iceman or some bollocks, that's shit. and Eegah is shit too. Watch with mst3k commentary or not at all. This is my very very strong recommendation.

More best bad movies.

The Apple:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080380/
I love movies set in futures which are now past. I wish I could be alive in 700 uears or whatever to be able to watch Zardoz in this light, but whatever. The Apple is an all singing, all dancing affair about fascism, disco and Satan. That should be enough to make you want to see it.

"Nudist Colony of the Dead". Seems like I'm coming up with an all singing all dancing list.

I don't know if this one could be classified as best, but it's bad in a 'I can't believe they made this' kind of way, but 'Freedom Deep'. It's hard to set the scene for this one. The DVD case describes it as 'A cybergrunge journey from a post Cobain past'.
Umm, Wot?
The credits at the bottom of the Image on the front declare the name of the movie to be 'Feedom Deep'.
The film itself could best be described thusly. As their final project for film school, 2 students have to make a collaborative film. They have vastly differing ideas of what the film should be, although they both appreciate Tarkovsky, Nirvana, and have mutual friends in a post rock band. One wishes to make a film about a talented but troubled youngster, in an abusive home situation, bullied at school, etc. Ken Loach witha touch of Bad Boy Bubby. The other wishes to make a Post apocalyptic western about a lone hero trying to bring a new 'gospel' or some such shit.
This thing is such a trainwreck it has to be seen to be believed. If you have a quick look here and read the 10 star comment for it... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0367753/usercomments" onclick= "window.open(this.href);return false;
That's by the director.

A few from recent memory. Apologies in advance if I have set the bar too high or too low:

The Island of Dr. Moreau (remake w/Marlon Brando) - I feel like Brando must have watched the 5000 Fingers of Dr. T to prepare for his role.

Godmonster of Indian Flats - watch this for the "psychedelic scene" with the hippie girl and the mutant sheep creature.

Rocktober Blood - bargain basement version (sort-of) of Phantom of the Paradise but in the 80s.

haha, my sister did some sound post-prod on dr moreau. that thing was a turkey from early on.

I won't vouch for the sequel, but the first Basketcase is a grime cinema classic!
