Bad Movies

I love bad movies, it embarrasses me to say.  Not the run of the mill,muddled plot bad.  I'm talking Ed Wood, Glen or Glenda bad movies.  Now Mr. Wood was the king of "What???" so I don't even count him when I start listing favorites.  How can you compete with a line like, "She's dead. Murdered. And only one thing's for sure.  Someone's responsible."  Yowza.   Nice, huh?  But recently I was talking with my friend Kyle and we had a semi heated debate on the best bad movies.  Here are some of the ones that we came up with, in no particular order.

  1. Speed 2
  2. Inglorious Bastards
  3. Districts 9
  4. Joe vs. the Volcano
  5. Bewitched
  6. The Dukes of Hazzard
  7. Say It Isn't So
  8. Kingpin
  9. Leonard Part 6
  10. Speed Racer                                                                                                                               



Please feel free to let me know if I've missed one, this is by no means an all inclusive list.  It's just some of the truly bad movies we have enjoyed over the years. I honestly believe that anyone can make a good movie, some skill and a little luck.  But to doggedly continue with something that you know in your gut is going to be a train wreck?  Now that's entertainment.  There is another that I've been reading about.  It's called ZZYZZX Road, and it  grossed a whole thirty bucks on it's premiere. Tom Sizemore is in it, so you know it's going to be something.  I can't wait to see it, I hope it's a train wreck.  If I find it, I'll pass it on and you can thank me later.
