    Feb 19, 2011 - Movies and TV shows that are so bad, they're good. #1

    There's nothing quite like watching a truly great movie or TV show. They'll stick with you for the rest of your life... the same can be said for bad movies. There are movies that are so laughably bad, so cringe inducingly awful that they cross a line and become entertaining and even enjoyable to watch. I'd like to hear from some of you what bad movies you like.

    My second favourite "so bad, it's good movie" (I can't remember the name of my favourite) is called "Starry Night".



    Name: Starry Night

    Plot: Vincent Van Gogh is brought back to life thanks to a magic potion. After finding that his work is hugely popular and valuable, he starts telling people who he is. He's quickly institutionalized in a psychiatric hospital where, with the help of an ambulance chasing lawyer, he breaks out and sets about stealing his paintings in order to prove his true identity.

    Notable Scenes: It has to be where Van Gogh finishes his 1889 self portrait by painting on a sun hat. Then the guy who owns this hugely valuable masterpiece decides, after his initial shock, that he prefers it with the freakin' hat!

    The acting would be considered wooden and hackneyed at a dinner theatre, the script is laughably bad and the special effects are... well, let's just say, give me five minutes and a copy of MSpaint and I think I could do better. It really is a fine example of a "so bad, it's good" movie. If you ever get the chance, it's well worth watching this awful, awful film.



    (just to save time, I'll put these here so you can just copy and paste 'em.)

    Name: Mega-Pirahna

    Plot: A special forces officer must take out a colony of house sized pirahnas along with a hostile third world dictator's air force and army.

    Notable Scenes: There's one memorable scene where the pirahnas attack what is supposed to be a lone frigate. However, there is one slight problem. They use easily identifiable stock footage of an Iowa-class battleship, a Spruance class destroyer and several missile cruisers, all highly recognizable and different warships. Another memorable scene is when a third world dictator flies his blackhawk over U.S. Florida airspace from South America to shoot down another blackhawk filled with Navy Seals. And of course, there is a "secret" oil base which is supposed to be the last refuge for survivors of an American holocaust right near Cuba- this along isn't too big of a flaw, but they make a point of mentioning that it was built right around the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis.

    Just about any Japanese Godzilla movie. Add the word "vs." and you have a real winner.

    The Flash Gordon film released in 1980.

    The soundtrack by Queen is the best part by far...
    Besides cheap-looking effects and obvious wire-wing flapping on the Hawkmen, there are bits in the script that just don't make sense.

    Blacula... The guy who went crazy on a Star Trek episode becomes the new "Dark Prince" of the night. 'Nuff said.

    Battle Beyond the Stars (1980). John-boy leads intergalactic mercenaries to defend his homeworld. The ship he flies has engines that look like big boobs.

    It was a sci-fi remake of The Magnificent Seven (which of course was a Western remake of Seven Samurai).

    I remember it being pretty good when I saw it. However I was ten years old at the time.

    Blues Brothers 2000. Other than the musical numbers it wasn't much to write about but still had good music.
