The Phantom Menace did have some of the coolest scenes ever.

Unbreakable is considered a lame movie? I thought it was awesome...

Oh, I remember that movie! I liked it well enough, but I only ever saw it once. XD I remember it being pretty cool, though. Probably the only Shyamalanasdfdag movie I really liked.

I like them all, even though the acting is only intermittently good (Alec Guiness, Christopher Lee, Ewan McGregor, Harrison Ford...), the script is severely lacking nearly all the time, and they spend too much time on the effects rather than a good story. My favorite Episode is The Phantom Menace, and one of my favorite characters is Jar-Jar Binks. So there XP


Whoa, yeah, Star Wars has a great story with themes inspired directly from like...Greek Mythology and stuff. XD At least, the original trilogy did--the prequels are debatable, but even beneath all the bad acting in the prequels and the special effects, there's still a good story beneath it.

Also I hated Jar-Jar. Lots. Add that one to my list, I guess. XD

The Super Mario Brothers movie is epic camp, and I can love it for that alone.

And Weird Al's UHF, Terry Gilliam's The Brothers Grimm, and Dragonheart. The original Dragonheart. The sequel was an abomination.

Oy! Sorry to keep posting, but apparently... I really like bad movies! ^_^;;
anyways... My sister reminded me of the BEST of the gosh-darn-awful Japanese movies ever: Dragon Blue

because most of you have probably never heard of this, I am posting a synopsis and a link... but I have to say that I don't recall it being a "sexual" horror film O.o ...

"A sexual horror film that boasts great creature effects by Steve Wang (RELIC, PREDATOR), DRAGON BLUE takes place on an island paradise inhabited by throngs of nubile young women. When a beautiful young spiritualist decides to take a sojourn on this tropical isle, she finds that she has thrust herself into both the mystery of her own troubled past as well as that of the mysterious disappearances of many of the island's young women. Realizing that she has discovered the existence of a horrible, mythic creature that no one ever believed could exist, she joins forces with a local police detective to track down the age old menace."

I just remembered one.

Josie and the Pussycats.

It's just one big cliche, the music is bad, the acting's not good, like, at all. But I laughed. Often. And truthfully...the music is one of my guilty pleasures. Still, as far as comic book adaptations go, it's still better than X3.

I love me some M. Night Shamalamadingdong and I wouldn't call his movies bad. I even enjoyed Lady in the Water. The Princess Bride is definitely not a bad movie in any sense of the word ever.

As for bad movies I actually like, let's go with Plan 9 From Outer Space, Hood Angels, and Snakes on a Plane as topping my list. I guess you could also consider Bubba Ho-Tep a "bad" movie but I adore it, as well.

Although this one probably doesn't count for me as it's so bad that it gained cult status, but I have yet to see anything like this film ever again.

Well the Prequels show Anakin's rise of being a Jedi, followed by his fall to the Dark Side, which is triggered by factors including the loss of family members as well as the mind-twisting of Palpatine. I think that watching the rise and fall of Anakin Skywalker makes his final redemption scene much more powerful, especially since Anakin's past is in your mind.

And I have a giant list of reasons as to why I hated Lady in the Water.

Wait a second, Unbreakable is considered a bad movie? Man, I thought that movie blew The Village and Lady in the Water away when I was first saw. I really like that movie.

And I've heard of people who didn't like Signs. I wouldn't put that in my list of bad movies that I like, though, for two reasons: One, it's not a bad movie, and two, I think Signs is an amazing movie. It's one of the few movies I've seen where silence is terrifying.

Though, I haven't seen many movies...

And I thought that all of the Star Wars movies had good stories, though the prequels weren't as good as the originals. Though, I do believe that the prequels focused on special effects a lot, and at times it seemed as if the story was a vehicle for the special effects, instead of the special effects being a vehicle for the story. Though this may just be me.

So, the bad movies that I like...

Lady in the Water

The Village

Star Wars Prequels

Transformers: I don't know if I consider this a bad movie, but, yeah.

Godzilla: Apparently a lot of critics didn't like this movie. I remember watching it a lot as a kid and really liking it... but I haven't seen it all the way through in a long time, so my feelings might have changed.

Final Fantasy VII Advent Children: Oddly enough, I like this movie, though I haven't seen all of it. Though I might like it because I've never played Final Fantasy VII, and therefore I really had no expectations for the story.

Spider-man 3: Is this considered a bad movie? I didn't think it was that bad. Not as good as Spider-man 2, but I thought it was good. Maybe a bit too overstuffed.

Okay, why is "Home Alone" a bad movie? Sheesh.

And I don't even know what "Unbreakable" is, so I really can't give an opinion on it. XD

Furthermore, I've seen "UHF;" in fact, we own it (yeah, dad and brother are Weird Al fans...I like a couple of his songs). It's not that bad, actually. Heck, it's meant to be a parody, so I guess I could see why it could be termed "bad." XD

I love bad movies, but they have to be a certain kind of 'bad.' MST3K-worthy. Something that will either make me howl with laughter or pain.

Attack of The The Eye Creatures comes to mind. :P

I enjoyed Lady in the Water, it wasn't his best movie (in fact it was probably his worst, but I haven't seen The Sixth Sense yet, so I can't be sure) but it was still good.

I don't know why critics disliked it so much, perhaps because it was so fantastic? I liked it because it was different (heck, pretty much all of his movies are different). M.N.S. tends to revamp the 'flavor' of his movies each time he makes one, perhaps this one is just a little too far out of the average movie watcher's comfort zone.

I really didn't like the monkeys at the end, however. I don't like monkeys. Especially fake looking non-CGI ones. (I used that fragment on purpose becuase bad costumed monkeys don't deserve full sentences.)

Lady in the Water sucked because it was M. Night Shamalanygnanzya's retarded attempt to incorporate some sort of philosophical and/or social criticism in a movie, only to totally not flesh it out.

The movie critic character was stupid and absolutely unnecessary, the plot sucked horribly and it felt like it was made up on the spot (Which it kind of was, according to him), and the Korean lady made up some stupid fairy tale and doesn't even speak Korean very well.

Okay, I will say this:

As bad acting that the following movies have... I really found Facing the Giants and Flywheel to be really great movies... I mean I got something out of both of them, and while I am sure a lot of people HATE them... I actually enjoyed them. I thought they were pretty good for only being made on a small budget.

I also loved Quest for Camelot (that was considered a BAD movie? WHAT?! No wai! So was Princess Bride!? *shakes head* no waaay... I liked that movie WAY better than Robin hood men in tights... XD

Umm... Lets seee... what movies are considered bad? OH! I liked Speed Racer! (that got terrible reviews, but I loved it!)

Why is Transformers considered bad? O_o

My only problem with Transformers was that there was quite a lot of adult humor in it for a toy line geared towards little kids. Other than that, I enjoyed it.

Because in the twenty-two minute toy advertisement cartoon from the 80s there was more fighting between giant robots than there was in a 143 minute movie.

Let me go a step further.

To be fair, there were a lot of shots of Megan Fox. I must note that I'm okay with the Transformers movie because I enjoyed it for what it was (a summer popcorn flick...Transformers were not a big part of my childhood, thus I had no preconceived notions walking in) and...well...Megan Fox. Surviving in my book based solely on the cheesecake factor means that Transformers is, admittedly, a bad movie.
