14 Terrible Movies That Some People Actually Love To Watch
Recently, u/bsoupdude asked r/MovieSuggestions for "the absolute worst films y'all can think of". So we thought we'd share some of the most popular responses.
Manos: The Hands of Fate
"Every frame looks like someone's last known photograph!"–MoreReputation8908"Oh, if you have never been subjected to Manos, you really have to give it a try."–jbenzeBrief description: This low-budget horror is about a family who are stuck at a remote hotel which is under the management of a nefarious cult leader.
The Room
"Obligatory The Room recommendation."–masterslut"Take a drink every time there's an establishing shot of San Francisco and you'll be wasted half an hour in."–sandman_42"That film is so remarkably bad it belongs in the Library of Congress."–joshuatxBrief description: This cult classic, riddled with awkward dialogue and strange performances is about a love triangle, and is famous for being so bad it's good.
Birdemic: Shock and Terror
"I only watched the first one, and only because I was with a friend and we were getting drunk. Don't know that I'd survive the other two now that I've quit drinking..."–AltruisticCableCarBrief description: We watch as a small town is under attack from terribly animated birds.
Geostorm
"Geostorm is the undisputed king of big-budget, so-bad-it's-good movies. Hear me out. Unlike movies that are wink-wink 'bad' on purpose, ironically (e.g. The Meg, VelociPastor) this movie attempts to be very serious, which only exacerbates how hilariously bad it tries to recreate all the serious beats of movies like Independence Day and Deep Impact, but it's like too many acid-tripping executive producers had a say in the final product. It ends up a glorious trope-fuelled nightmare of hilarious bullshit."–PowermanFriendshipBrief description: This disaster movie is about climate-controlling satellites that, after malfunctioning, begin to cause extreme weather events that threaten the entire world.
After Last Season
"It's worth it just for the set pieces."–Safetosay333Brief description: This low-budget movie is about a group using tech in order to look into people's minds in order solve crimes.
Battlefield Earth
"Battlefield Earth is like if you described a sci-if movie to a toddler, dosed them with LSD and then gave them $100 million to make a movie."–MalmborgioBrief description: This bizarre sci-fi film sees humans having to fight off their alien overlords.
Rubber
"The plot is uninteresting but holds character development, the subplot is where the gold is."–hoggsauceBrief description: We watch the killing-spree of a sentient rubber tire that is on a mission of destruction for literally no reason.
Aquaman: The Lost Kingdom
"Just gave up halfway through Aquaman: The Lost Kingdom. Bafflingly awful. And for some reason obsessed with Aquaman literally getting pissed on."–BojukaBobBrief description: Aquaman must team up with his imprisoned brother in order to save the world from a mystical ancient evil.
The Toxic Avenger
"Comically bad and instant cult classic.... Which makes this a wonderful film!"–chrisdiaz73Brief outline: We follow a janitor who, after falling into toxic waste, becomes a crime-fighting superhero.
Plan Nine From Outer Space
"It is considered by some critics to be the worst film ever made. It's so bad that it can be fun to watch if one is in the right frame of mind."–Peaceful-Spirit9Brief outline: This cult film is about aliens who begin to resurrect the dead in an attempt to save humanity from itself.
Megiddo: the Omega Code 2
"There is such a thing as so bad it's good, and the apex of that genre is Megiddo: the Omega Code 2."–tomrichards8464Brief outline: This apocalyptic film depicts the growth of a ruler of the world that turns out to be the antichrist.
Velocipastor
"Watch it now! You will not be disappointed."–SmarterThanMyBossBrief outline: This horror-comedy follows a priest who develops the ability to transform into a dinosaur and fight crime.
The Stupids
"Came here to recommend this one. It's the only movie I walked out of during a theatre showing."–hoople217Brief outline: As the name suggests, this slapstick comedy is about a family of intellectually challenged individuals who somehow get mixed up in a conspiracy.
Prisoners of the Ghostland
"Nicolas Cage doing his thing in a movie that is all over the place. No idea what the point of the whole thing was."–desteufelsbeitragBrief outline: This post-apocalyptic film follows a infamous criminal (Nicolas Cage), and his mission to rescue the governor's granddaughter from the dangerous region of Ghostland.
