My friends and have discovered a like for 'B-Movies', but we're pretty much lost at what ones to watch. Or, I guess, we just like terrible movies....I'm not sure if I'm using the 'B-Movie' title correctly?...

Anyway, we recently watched Flash Gordon and LOVED ITTTTT. It was awful in every way, but we thoroughly enjoyed it.

So, any movies in that same vein, that are completely terrible, but in the good way, would be appreciated! Suggest away please!!

(We have Krull, Samurai Cop and Beast Master on our list already.)

Hercules in New York. Ahnald's first movie. His accent was so thick and his acting so bad they dubbed everything. It's hilarious!

If you like bad Kung Fu movies, try "Invincible Armour":


(Just part one, follow the other links from there.)

Space Mutiny, if only so you can do this:

Battle Beyond the Stars...

it even has a spaceship with boobs... no really.

edit:

Couple Favorites:

Don't know if it counts as B enough, I'll list it anyways: Tucker & Dale vs. Evil

Tucker & Dale is more a send-up of B-Horror than a B-movie in its own right, but it's extremely worth watching.

It sounds like you guys are going specifically for "bad" B-movies, so I'll suggest the Stallone version of Judge Dredd. Truly gloriously, laughably awful.

Also, the most recent Three Musketeers.

The greatest movie in the category of so bad it is good... "ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES"

Demolition man. Totally awsome!

Hey now, Demolition Man is a genuinely quality film!

Tucker & Dale! So very much this! Also, My Name is Bruce!

By the way, for Tucker & Dale...if you know nothing about it DON"T READ ANYTHING ON IT! Just get it, watch it, love it!

THANK YOU. This movie keeps popping up in my Netflix recommendations, but I could never decide if I wanted to watch it or not.

As for best B-movies, it's going to depend on what genre you'd like.

For so bad it's good horror, pretty much anything with Linea Quigley in it is worth a watch. She is the queen of B horror movies. Kinda like a female Bruce Campbell. If Bruce showed his tits a lot. I'd suggest Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-a-rama.

Kung Pow is definitely not a B movie, it's a genre sendup. A great one, but it's good, not so bad it's good.

For action B-movies, there's pretty much a whole group of stars that will lead you to so bad it's good territory. Reb Brown, Kate Hodge, anything by Troma.

Also, Flash Gordon isn't a B-movie, it was a huge studio movie. B-movies are low budget. Flash Gorden falls into the category of Camp.

Slither is, again, an awesome movie, but not a B-movie and also not a bad movie, it was a genre sendup.

We've already seen Tucker and Dale.

I wouldn't say it's 'so bad it's good' though, it's just good.

And yes, I'm looking for more just general bad movies, not horror.

Evolution. Love that movie.

I'd also suggest looking to the blacksploitation/grindhouse genre. Billy Jack, Black Gestapo, and Dolomite come to mind.

Battlefield Earth is always a solid choice. Dutch angles. Dutch angles everywhere.

Nope, no way, that movie isn't so bad it's good, it's just bad. You may as well suggest Ishtar or Gili.

What Dave? She wants bad movies and it's dreadful and hilariously so.

She wants "so bad it's good", not "so bad it makes you want to convert to scientology just to get close to John Travolta and slap him upside his head".

I don't think it's so bad it's good, but so bad I legitimately giggle like a madman when it's on.

Hey, Dave put in the disagree, not me. Why you gotta hate?

I dunno I guess I just really enjoy atrocious films. I mean, you can just marvel at "How was this ever made. How did Forrest Whitaker ever agree to anything happening here."[DOUBLEPOST=1360788483][/DOUBLEPOST]

I took it down I took it down!

For serious, though, 70s exploitation films are the holy grail of movies that are so bad, they're good for non-horror. For horror, the late 80s early 90s was the golden age.

Anything with John Agar

Hammer films

Christopher Lee

Peter Cushing

Mom & Dad Save the World. Even having Kathy Ireland run around half naked couldn't save this movie.

May I present to you Disney's first PG-13 movie:

Midnight Madness. Seriously, go watch this LittleKagsin , it is hilarious. My sisters and I loved this one growing up.

I'll also suggest:


Back to the Beach - okay, this may not technically be a B-movie, because it is supposed to be a send-up of Frankie Avalon and Annette Funichello movies, but it is so much fun, and the acting is truly horrible at points.


Hudson Hawk


Who's That Girl

More love for this, doooo eeeeet !


Also The Pirate Movie, a B as it gets (and hilariously over the top as well as cheesy, campy and whatnot all else). It's my greatest guilty pleasure!

If you are going to go Brooks, go for the better ones. Blazing Saddles, The Producers, Young Frankenstein, History of the World Part 1.

The Conqueror, starring John Wayne as Ghenghis Khan.

This movie was so bad it killed everyone that worked on it.

Fallout from the Nevada atomic bomb test site that settled on the movie set may have contributed, but I'm pretty sure it was mostly from how bad the movie was.

It still took 20 years for the movie to kill The Duke... But the three meals with steak, 4 packs of cigarettes, and a bottle of whiskey a day had nothing to do with his early demise.

Hey, young Frankenstein was awesome!

Also, my vote is for anything Elvira hosted on saturday afternoon in the 80's. She was the curator of camp.

The list is here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elvira's_Movie_Macabre

I don't think you can do better than that for pure camp.

The king of the bad movies. Yes, worse than Plan 9 from outer space... worse than Manos: The hands of fate....

A POLISH VAMPIRE IN BURBANK.

I own a copy on vhs. I can't watch for more than 25 minutes at a stretch, it's SO BAD.

GAISSSS, I'm so excited! The suggestions are awesome, even though I haven't heard of most of them. Still, I'll give them a shot and add them to our list.

If you guys have more, keep'em comin', please.

You're forgetting the 80 other people that worked on that movie that also developed cancer afterwards.

If your willing to look into bad anime movies from the late 80's and early 90's Garzy's Wing comes to mind.

Some of these are so bad... I dunno, maybe just watch some internet reviewer's recap instead.

You obviously don't share the love of horrible movies.

My Demon Lover.
Jekyll and Hyde, Together Again.
Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla.
Barry Gordy's The Last Dragon.

More later if I get inspired.

Birdemic: Shock and Terror is definitely in the so bad it's good category.

Don't know if it was said yet but the Tremors series is pretty awesome by B-Movie standards. The TV show was pretty good too... got pretty great ratings as well but was cancelled because it's executive didn't "get it".

I love the Tremors movies! Kevin Bacon is my muse, no joke.

I was also going to suggest Barbarella.

Also Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! and Death Race 2000.

I second midnight madness.

I dropped by to also push The Barbarians
Also Bubba Ho-Tep

Oh god yes. "You can live! We can BOTH LIVE!" SO B-MOVIE BADGOOD.

Yes! Bubba Ho-Tep! Bruce Campbell is elvis! JFK is black! Together they're old! And fight mummies!

I also want to add in - Jason and the Argonauts. SO MUCH CLAYMATION.

And another B-movie favorite of mine - Erik the Viking.

Here, you can watch the whole thing apparently on youtube:



For my money, the "seating arrangements" scene at 22:50 pays for the whole movie on its own.

And hey, it has John Cleese and Terry Jones in supporting roles.

More Harryhausen ftw! Can't beat the classics.
Sindbad's 7th voyage etc. ...

Also Jack Arnold.
Creature from the Black Lagoon, Tarantula

My cart at Amazon gets fuller the longer this thread goes on. Time to get some goodies on DVD and not just VHS anymore (nope, our household has no Blue Ray).

Eric the Viking rocks! In fact, one of the spells in my RPG is called the "Horn of Resounding" just for that movie.

(Just don't forget the mouthpiece.)

Ooh! That reminds me, another terribad B movie, Red Sonja. Has Aaahnold as supporting actor. Plus, y'know... uh... good cosplay ideas! Yeah...[DOUBLEPOST=1360879329][/DOUBLEPOST]

The Killer Tongue.
The Pink Chiquitas. (Warning: Stars Sylvester Stallone's Brother Frank)
Superchick. (Warning: Nudity)
Night of the Creeps. <-- This one. If you haven't seen it, put it on your list. It is required. Arguably "Slither" was a sort of remake of this movie.
Terrorvision.

FYI, the US release title for Brain Dead is Dead Alive and it's one of my all time favorite movies.

You totally forgot to mention Meet The Feebles, NR!

Also yay, my trashmovie-mail got to me today. The Barbarians, Ice Pirates and the not yet mentioned The Archer: Fugitive from the Empire aka The Archer And The Sorceress, though if the pilot movie for a TV series that never came counts as B-movie is up to everybody on its own. I have fond memories of it and kinda like it.

Oh, and Vampire Circus. SO BAD.

I want to restate how much I recommend this one Kags. Cameos include: Bob Denver (Gilligan) & Alan Hale Jr. (The Skipper), O.J. Simpson, Don Adams (Maxwell Smart), Barbara Billingsley (the mom on Leave it to Beaver), Jerry Mathers (Beaver), Tony Dow (Wally Cleaver) and Pee-Wee Herman. The musical numbers are ridiculous, and there are some truly memorable lines.

Ice Pirates is 100% awesome cheese.

An old tom hanks movie called Bachelor Party.

Weird Science. Today I learned that it's got Robert Downey Jr. in it in a minor role, spouting such lines as "Bigger tits" and "I'm going to shit my pants!"

Fair warning, the plot moves a little slow and its gross as all hell .

A gross B-movie with a bad plot? I think you're a damned liar, Yoshimickster

I looked on wiki for the photo of the poster, and apparently its one of what are called "melt" movies. Meaning there is more than one...and I must FIND THEM!

CHUD.

I still haven't seen C.H.U.D, its been on my Netflix instant cue forever yet I still haven't watched it. Course...that goes with a lot of other movies- BUT STILL!

One of my favorites from when I was very young.



And yeah, as suggested earlier, Robot Jox was incredibly shitty. Now, for a movie that I remember coming out at the same time as Robot Jox and being even shittier, but I fucking looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooved it.



Such a badass movie. It's got Ivanova from Babylon 5 and Gul Dukat from Deep Space 9.



Also, forget Beastmaster, you need Deathstalker.



YEAH!

Might want to add the Ator "trilogy" films as well (Fighting Eagle/Blade Master/Iron Warrior).

Also, if you're going to go down as far as Deathstalker, you might as well go all the way to Gymkata.

How about something spacey, like Galaxina...

OMG, I think I finally found something I have in common with GasBandit...

Red Sonja

I think everybody loves to hate to love Red Sonja.
