What's the WORST movie you ever LOVED?
For me, it would have to be the infamous Battlefield Earth.

Red Dawn would be up there, too.

22. Good call on the Cube!
Actually not that bad, except for the 'highbrow' ending...

2. I have always loved .."A Summer Place"
Horrendous over-acting
typical 1950's "sex-is-bad-and-it-will-ruin-your-life" plot
but for some reason, I always watch it when it's on tv..

Sandra Dee..Troy Donohue..Richard Egan..Dorothy McGuire

4. "Re-Animator"
Especially bad movie, very campy. But loved it! (Knowing the Production Manager helped!)

25. I LOVE that movie, and also "From Beyond"
...plus to a lesser degree the Re-Animator sequel. But Jeffrey Combs is terrific--LOVE that guy. Was thrilled when he turned up as Wayoon in Deep Space Nine.

Favorite Re-Animator scene: when the severed head keeps tipping over and Coombs impatiently plunks it down on the message spike to hold it up.

It's a MST3000 thing.
Along the same vein: Space Warriors 2000!

"Vaya Con Dios, Dude!"
"She was my woman! We shared times!"
"They only live to get radical...they'll never understand the spiritual side of surfing..."

Sigh. They had me at the name "Johnny Utah."

44. Thank you. Thank you!
I've been vindicated. As an ex-cheerleader, I rented "Bring It On"> And totally enjoyed it. My husband and son really made fun of me. They thought I'd lost my mind. Of course, they watched it.

59. I've got to agree with you about Xanadu
I love this movie. It's so cheesy, though. Worst moment in the movie...the animated sequence. But I still have a soft spot for Xanadu. I bought the soundtrack album right after it came out. Great music.

18. The Cannonball Run
My roommate and I in college would do about 56 bong hits, watch this movie, and realize that we were in the presence of genius.

"These bleeds?"
"No More Captain Chaos! NO MORE!"
"I saved that woman's dog, JJ!"

Ah....now I'm all choked up..the memories, the memories...

45. Uh, no shooting, but
I've gotta tell you. Delta showed that movie while we were flying to the islands and if we hadn't been in the air, we'd have walked out. It was excrutiating. Only a severe case of Josh Hartnett (or Harrison Ford) lovesickness can explain your affinity. I believe you might need professional help.

42. Plan 9 From Outer Space

Poor Ed Wood. He wrote and directed that film in the hope that it would be taken as a parable on tolerance. Instead, the film's sheer ineptitude has inspired unintentional laughter from generations of viewers all over the globe!

it's a teenage movie. But a WORST movie? Sean Penn is hilarious. And it gets the teen angst right.
