There are so many bad films

My favorite "bad" film is Stay Alive, it was a lot of fun to watch with friends and just like you we played the "who-is-gonna-die-first" game.
I think he means something more along the lines of "which movie did you enjoy for reasons other than it being a good movie."Ronwue said:
I've watched ''orgzamo'' .....actually pretty funny if you don't take it seriously (made by the creators of south park)
I loved it to the point I have all three on DVD. Personally, I thought Paul W.S. Anderson stayed true to the ideas of the series, but added his own new ideas as well, such as the idea of Alice as a character, and in Extinction, the whole 'society meltdown' and Nevada convoys, which although by no means original, was still a refreshing addition to the Resident Evil universe. Script was pretty good and as an amateur film-maker myself I felt the general cinematography was excellent, to a par I've only seen with Alfonso Cuaron's films so far.Pi_Fighter said:
As for films I've thought were bad, apart from Uwe Boll, I suppose I'd have to say Apocalypse Now. This is mainly because it deviated too far from the themes it was meant to explore. It was based on Joseph Conrad's book Heart of Darkness, which had nothing to do with Vietnam and everything to do with the African jungle and the slave trade and Belgian trading companies (based on the author's own experiences). Apocalypse Now was an alright film on its own but it borrowed from Heart of Darkness to the point where it wasn't enough, but still too much. To clarify, it was halfway between the book and being a stand alone film and I felt it couldn't make up it's mind whether or not it was really an adaptation of the novel. Plus, Martin Sheen didn't really stand out in his main role there.
I thought it was a fairly balanced movie, with Pagans being fun and more sensible, yet still sacrificed people, and the Christian, who was rude, repressed, and boring, yet was not quite as bloodthirsty.Zombie_Fish said:
Given the option, the movie truly made take the Pagans' side. It just makes more sense.
My favorite bad movie would have to be Undercover Brother. It's just such a cheesy spoof of blaxploitation films throughout.
Snakes On A Plane. Just for Samuel L Jackson and childish scenes involving snakes and toilet cubicles.
The ruins was one of the worst films I have seen. But unfortunatley I had an unlucky night and saw it b2b with 'the happening' which made 'the ruins' looks like a Kubrick masterpiece. Believe you me from one scholar to another there is far worse horror than The Ruins, but yes it is a truelly shit film.Gaskell said:
EDIT: See ghosts on Mars for details...Bring it on Clive Barker fans lol
I completely diagree! The original Wickerman shows ones mans igorance in the face of an ever growing danger. I liked watching a self rightous man of outhority get brought down by people that don't respect his authority. What do you do when your laws mean nothing?Zombie_Fish said:
Watching him fend for himself in an isolated area, when his normal vies are made to look abnormal and his opinions equally isolated. Ever been to a rather local part of the british countryside and felt unerved by the local way of life? The Wickerman is a Great British film and was certainly not just 'a comedy slight on pagans'.
Dead Silence won this for me, the movie was about a killer puppet (not chuckie style but stranger) and was shockingly shot but I liked it for some reason.
That's a bit caustic, the filmmakers took a bunch of elements from Celtic paganism and put it all together. It wasn't anything wildly inaccurate.Zombie_Fish said:
Still, the remake was worse.
Although it wasn't wildly innacurate from celtic paganism, they set the film in a much more modern time, when traditions of sacrifice for crops and naked fire jumping had died out (I've got a mate of mine whose a pagan).RebelRising said:
But the remake was definately worse.
The D&D movie was so very bad. The fact that it had Jeremy Irons in it and he was terrible shows just how poor it was.
I thiunk I felt my IQ drop about 10 points after watching that heap of dung. And God help me, I laughed at it too.sorry user name taken. said:
