thought army of darkness blew the previous two away

Evil Dead 2 is far superior. Army of Darkness isn't even a horror movie. It's fun and has some great lines, but Evil Dead 2 is one of the best horror-comedies ever made.

no way does Better Off Dead qualify as a bad movie in my book. That movie's freaking brilliant in pretty much every-way. it was the anti-Ferris Bueller's and the ultimate odd-ball high school underdog story.

Totally agree.

"Bad" is so subjective. Young Guns 2? Lars and the Real Girl? Those would be my two.

I notice that no one has picked Piranha 3D. Although I wouldn't be able to sit through it today, there was a time when I enjoyed watching Phantasm so I'll go with that for favorite bad movie.

Phantasm was an interesting movie....... but for it's time, it really was a bit creepy, which is what kept it off my list..... ;)

I submit the greatest bad comedy of all time.

Robin Williams, Danny Devito, Edward Norton, and John Stewart.

Sheldon: Captain Kangaroo, like Jesus Christ, was someone you could really believe in. With those guys it wasn't about the bells and whistles and the rickety rackety, it was all about the work. Especially Jesus.

ha... both Killer Klowns and Toxic were the first two movies in my head... then The Last Dragon. WHO'S THE MASTER?!

SHONUF!

But Killer Klowns gets my vote above all others, for this line alone: "What are you gonna do with those pies, boys?"

That and the Killer Klowns theme song is freaking amazing.

Done by The Dickies. I saw them on that tour. Great band. Look up their 1977 or so version of Sabath's paranoid. Their albums "The Incredible Shrinking Dickies" and Stukas over Disneyland are excellent.

I call BS. Death to Smoochie was awesomely underrated. I own it, and watch it all the time.

It's unfair to list Attack of the Killer Tomatoes because it's supposed to be a bad movie. It's a parody of bad horror movies. That said, my favorite bad movies are:

Killer Klowns from Outer Space
A Knights Tale
UHF
The Jerk
1941

And for the record, Slapshot is not a bad movie by any stretch.

Critical reception was generally negative, with Rotten Tomatoes only gauging 29% positive reviews. Roger Ebert gave it a one-half star rating, criticizing it for excessive use of vulgar language and demeaning portrayal of women, describing it as a "train wreck" and finishing his review by bluntly stating "This film is not in a releaseable condition". Nathan Rabin at The Onion A.V. Club said Pootie Tang "borders on audience abuse" and "confuse idiocy for absurdity and randomness for wit".


Yes it is stupid but I laugh everytime I see it.

BTW I love Empire Records, and don't consider it a "bad" movie :)
