For the most part, I don’t buy the premise that movies can be so bad, they’re actually good. If a movie’s good, isn’t it just...good? There’s no question, however, that movies can succeed by failing. Ed Wood is an extreme-but-perfect example of a filmmaker who never achieved precisely what he set out to do with any of his movies, but who nonetheless made cinematic magic out of enthusiasm, shamelessness, and no small measure of self-delusion. That kind of thing is always better than something like Sharknado—a movie that’s fun, but that works so hard to achieve silliness that you can see the flop sweat. Other, more enjoyable (better?) “bad” movies get there quite by accident.
For me, I’d almost always rather watch an interesting failure than a boring success—sometimes because passion is contagious, and just as often because a true WTF-level debacle is a rare and glorious thing. Here are 20 of them.

MANOS!
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!
Final Sacrifice!
The Legend of Boggy Creek.
‘Sam Elliott can turn almost any movie into a classic.’
I thought he was ridiculous in ‘Gettysburg’, between his mumbling and sporadic overacting...
What did he say?
Springtime for Hitler.
‘I’d go with “Next of Kin” or “Point Break” instead.’
is Next of Kin the one where Patrick rocks a stunning mullet throughout...?
it’s a real feat for an actor to be outacted by his hair...
They left off Attack of the Killer Tomatoes
That and Frankenstein meets the Three Stooges
I’ve seen that movie so many times! The music is good. Leslie Ann Warren is believable as a bimbo.
“Romy And Michelle’s High School Reunion”. It’s terrible, but we never miss it when it’s on.
I liked the scene on the roof where Andrew McCarthy’s money gets blown off the roof.
Jacqueline Bisset: Don’t worry it’s only money.
Andrew McCarthy: Yes, but it was my only money.
Jacqueline Bisset: Have you ever been in love?
Andre McCarthy: I was rather fond of that hundred dollar bill.
Dunno. I kind of like Anaconda in a weird laughing way. :-)
He thought that “Hudson Hawk” was worse than “The Room”? “Boom?” LOL. There are dozens of movies far far worse than “Hudson Hawk.” I always thought that Ebert was up in the night.
The concept was out there but the script was really well written.
Movies created to promote a new star can be the funniest. So serious about it. So terrible.
Worst movie of all time is Tank Girl..but for some reason I watch it every time I see it on and laff my azz off..
He was trying to make the point that you don’t bring a gun to a fist fight and showed a screen shot of Swayze getting ready to fight with some guy. The State was arguing to the jury that Kyle was obligated to take an ass beating for bringing a gun to the riot and didn’t have the right to self defense
