Because so many of us collect movies (on video tape or DVD), I was wondering how many people other then me have real "stinkers" in our collection.

Now I am not talking about a movie that you bought sight-unseen only to discover it was bad (like the direct to DVD movies "Starship Troopers 2" or "The Butterfly Effect 2").  I am talking about movies that you bought that you knew most people consider them to be bad movies.

And they may actually be movies that you enjoy.  But anybody who looks through your collection will wonder "What in the heck is that movie doing?"  Since I have over 500 movies, I have quite a few that fall under this category.  In fact, quite a few that are listed in Tia's topic are in my collection, which inspired me to start this one.

And here are just a few that I own:

Battlefield Earth
Xanadu
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band
Heaven's Gate
Paint Your Wagon
Beverly Hills Cop III
Cool World
American Pop
North & South Book 3
Fantastic 4
Planet Of The Apes (2001 Tim Burton version)
A Knights Tale
Last Action Hero
Willard (2003 Crispin Glover version)
Titan A.E.
The Family Enforcer
Dune (1984 David Lynch version)
The Man In The Iron Mask
Poseidon
Aeon Flux
Stay Tuned
The Bride
Little Shop Of Horrors (both the 1960 and 1986 versions)
Rollerball (2002 version)
Slapstick
Invaders From Mars (1986 version)
Flashpoint

And finally, one that people always question when they see it in my collection:

The Birth Of A Nation

Battlefield Earth?  :D  That was such a terrible TERRIBLE movie.  Hehehe.

Let's see...I bought Charlie's Angels (2000) on a whim.  Silly me.

Willard (2003 Crispin Glover version)

My sister has this movie. I liked it.

The Man In The Iron Mask

The one with DiCaprio and everyone? I liked that one.

Little Shop Of Horrors (both the 1960 and 1986 versions)

The '86 version was fun.

The Birth Of A Nation

This is supposed to be fairly good, although it involves a lot of racism. Unfortunately, that is a part of history, and must be documented as such.



I own Titanic. I'm so sorry. We also have The Punisher (Thomas Jane version).

Battlefield Earth?  :D  That was such a terrible TERRIBLE movie.  Hehehe.

Let's see...I bought Charlie's Angels (2000) on a whim.  Silly me.


Actually, I kinda like Battlefield Earth.  I just ignore the obvious blunders that the drug addicted Elron Hubbard wrote, and view it as an escapist sci-fi movie.

I actually own Charlie's Angels as well, and did not think it was to bad.  The really horrible version was Full Throttle.  I caught the first 5 minutes of that one on cable, and turned it off.  That movie was unwatchable even by me.


This is supposed to be fairly good, although it involves a lot of racism. Unfortunately, that is a part of history, and must be documented as such.

We also have The Punisher (Thomas Jane version).


I actually find most of The Birth Of A Nation enjoyable.  In reality, the storyline is almost identicle to the popular North & South books and movies.  I just tune out the racist overtones, and view it as an innovative movie of the era, that covered a horrible period in time, from a different viewpoint.  While the "atrocities" are very obviously very slanted and misrepresented, it is about the only place you will see a depictation that shows that the "Reconstructionist" era had it's share of misdeeds from "well meaning" Northerners.

Oh, I forgot the Punisher movies.  I own the 2004 version, and owned the earlier 1989 Dolph Lundgren version (my VCR ate the tape about 5 years ago).

The Punisher movie with Tom Jane isn't bad at all, it was just restricted by its comparably miniscule budget. 

We also have "Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice In the Hood" :D

Oh yeah, and "Gone With the Wind."

Oh yeah, and "Gone With the Wind."


We should watch that again.

We should watch that again.


That's a four hour nap :D

Full Body Massage - starring Mimi Rogers & Bryan Brown (i bought)  i think it's a cool movie, but I may one of the few

which version of Swept Away do you have? the original 1975 Italian version because that film kicks ass. It's good, or do you have the cheesy remake with Madonna

The one with Madonna.  I had heard that it was so bad, that I just had to have it ;D

I am looking through Tia's list, and am amazed at how many of those movies I actually own.  Here are some of those that I forgot to list earlier:

Armageddon
Freddie Vs. Jason
Godzilla (1998)
Highlander 2
Lost In Space
Mars Attacks!
The Postman
Waterworld
Red Dawn

And a lot of those I would actually buy, if I could ever find them on DVD.  Among those are:

Burn Hollywood Burn - An Alan Smithee Film
Far Out Man
The Gods Must Be Crazy
Howard The Duck
The "Police Academy" Series
Popeye
Porky's (the original movie had some surprisingly good commentary in anti-semitism in American society)


I bought Ice Pirates cause it looked like a great adventure movie from the box art.  Great isn't exactly the right word for this movie :D


I actually liked Ice Pirates, and owned it on VHS.  I would get it on DVD in a heartbeat if I saw it ("Space Herpes!").

I also own Idle Hands, but forgot to list it.  I really like it myself.  I was also dissapointed with Aeon Flux, but had to get it to complete my collection if nothing else (I own the boxed set of the original cartoons - well worth getting if you can find it).

these are all keepers. I like these ones, seriously.  ;D


The one with Madonna.  I had heard that it was so bad, that I just had to have it ;D
watch the original one if you haven't already. while i don't approve of violence towards women, it's worth a viewing just to see Giancarlo slap that rich b*tch  ;D  when they get stranded on the island.

The "Police Academy" Series


I got the complete Police Academy DVD box set (all 7 films) at Wal-Mart for $36.99.  Best deal I ever got!  I also got Ice Pirates from Wal-Mart for $11.99


I actually liked Ice Pirates, and owned it on VHS.  I would get it on DVD in a heartbeat if I saw it ("Space Herpes!").


You gotta admit though, that one scene where they go through that warp and age really fast was kind of goofy ;D

Let's see here, I've got...
Jawbreakers
Coyote Ugly
Saved

I watch them back to back to test my pain tolerance. :P

Saved was pretty good.  I was actually shocked at how good it was.  I was expecting to go back to the store and demand a refund ;D

I always that it was cheesy.  Mandy did do a good job in it though. :)

i love battlefield earth. i just added it to my netflix queue the other day.

i have too many bad movies i bought knowing they're bad to list here. some real gems:

devil dog: the hound of hell.
starship invasions.
the crawling eye
beyond witch mountain (the little known, and little seen, and absolutely dreadful, THIRD witch mountain movie. even i have a problem getting through it)
roger corman flicks, like death race 2000 and the trip
the incredibly strange creatures who stopped living and became mixed-up zombies

the list goes on and on.

roger corman flicks, like death race 2000 and the trip


I have Death Race as well.  I bought it a few months ago.

I also have "Independence Day", but I thought it did not belong on that list, so did not include it.  I doubt if very many people would agree that it is one of the "worst movies", since it was one of the biggest movies of the year when it was released (and continues to live on, in books, DVD release (it is on it's 3rd release).

Of course, I also have a bunch of classic Vincent Price movies, which some people think are horrible.  They include "The House On Haunted Hill", "The Last Man On Earth", "The Abomidable Doctor Phibes" and "Doctor Phibes Returns".

Now if I can only find a copy of "The Velvet Vampire".  8)

nicely done. you've got that down  :o

nicely done. you've got that down  :o


I have all of Frank Herbert's "Dune" series.
I'm hoping to get Brian's "Pre-Dune" series.

Glitter.


I have that one too.  What's sad is that I paid big bucks to get it  :\'(

I even have "Wisegirls" starring Mariah Carey ;D

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (and all of the sequels.)

back to the future 2  abissmal  :(

You dogged "Dune", man.
And to think I actually wished you a hpaay birthday....

The Dungeon Master (Richard Moll as "Mestima"... ;))
Dune (yes, the David Lynch version, which is infinitely better than that "Sci-Fi Channel" garbage)


I really loved Dune.  I own all 3 versions on DVD, and watched the David Lynch version again just last week.  My only problem was his idea of turning "The Weirding Way" into some kind of sonic gun.  Other then that, I had no major problems with it.

Dungeon Master, now that is a movie I saw in the theater that I wish I could forget.  You know the movie is gonna be bad when you keep seeing the boom mike moving across the top of the screen.  But one good thing about the movie, it was where Richard shaved his head, giving us the "Bull" that we all know and love.


Long live the fighters!

May Shai-Halud spit all non-believers out of his holy intestines!


LOL!  I am currently playing Guild Wars: Nightfall, and one of the things you have to do is ride giant sand worms.  Whenever I go out with other people I am constantly making Fremen and Shai-Halud remarks.  You can tell those that have seen the movies or read the books, cause they laugh.  The others just go "Huh?"


I have all of Frank Herbert's "Dune" series.
I'm hoping to get Brian's "Pre-Dune" series.


Brian's books are OK, but it is obvious he is not his father.  I am currently reading "The Battle Of Corrin", which is the 12th book in the series.  After I finish it, I am going to start on The Road To Dune, and Hunters Of Dune.  Hunters is the true sequal, and picks up where Chapterhouse: Dune left off.

Jawbreaker
Idle Hands (Jessica Alba is in this; only reason why I bought it)


Jawbreaker is great. Rose McGowan is such a bitch in that movie. I love her.

And Idle Hands is hysterical in a stupid way. ;D


Saved


That movie is a hoot.

9 1/2 Weeks ;D

9 1/2 Weeks ;D


My mind went in the exact same direction!  ;D  Thank God I didn't start a list...  ;)


I can't think of any "bad" movies we own - I like all of ours.

I think I am also the only one left in America that owns a copy of "Re-Animator".

I own over 3000 movies, so I'm sure there are a few stinkers.. A few I can name off the top of my head...

Poison Ivy
Road Trip
Ghosts Of The Abyss
Ghost Ship
Charlie and The Chocolate Factory (Johnny Depp's version)
Taboo
Tale Of Sweeney Todd
Thunderheart (Val Kilmer investigates a murder on an Indian Reservation)
28 days (Sandra Bullock in Rehab)
28 days Later (no relation to 28 days.. this one is post apocalyptic horror)

I think I am also the only one left in America that owns a copy of "Re-Animator".

I don't have Re-Animator, but I have "From Beyond"
This movie is so bad, it's good !

Because so many of us collect movies (on video tape or DVD), I was wondering how many people other then me have real "stinkers" in our collection.

And finally, one that people always question when they see it in my collection:

The Birth Of A Nation


Of those listed above, I have
Planet Of The Apes ( the beastiality overtones were heavy in this movie)
A Knight's Tale (it was cheap and I was on a Heath Ledger kick for awhile)
Dune (1984 version)
Little Shop Of Horrors (the newer version, though I want to see the older version with Jack Nicholson. In defense of this movie, I LOVE this movie. It's hilarious. )
Rollerball (Chris Klein.. he kinda looked like Keanu.. what can I say.. I bought it)

Well, we have all six Star Wars movies, so naturally that means we own four bad movies at least ;)

The Punisher movie with Tom Jane isn't bad at all, it was just restricted by its comparably miniscule budget. 

We also have "Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice In the Hood" :D

Oh yeah, and "Gone With the Wind."

I LOVE Don't Be  A Menace..   Huggy Bear's shoes with the gold fish!! Classic!  and the toe sucking scene, had me choking , I was laughing so hard.
Another great one is "Freeway" with Reese Witherspoon.. She plays this poor white trash ragamuffin. Her mother's a  crack whore, her mothers's boyfriend 'does sex to her' and she has a black boyfriend named Chopper. She tries to escape this life to go live with her grandmother in the trailer court. She has car trouble and is picked up by Kiefer Sutherland who plays this serial killer.  This movie sounds dim and dark.. but if's fricken hilarious. In a dark humor sorta way. This is one of my all time favorite movies.. but most people don't get it.. One thing about Reese's performance, she's never played a character like that before or since. And she did it so well.

Was that in Don't Be a Menace?  I thought that was "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka!"

Additionally, some movies that didn't do very well at the box office but are incredibly funny:

Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle (White Castle is awesome)
Grandma's Boy
UHF
Office Space
Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back

Was that in Don't Be a Menace?  I thought that was "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka!"


oops you're right
I have both
I get them confused.. :P the toe sucking scene is Don't Be A Menace...
the Goldfish shoes are in I'm Gonna Git You Sucka..

Additionally, some movies that didn't do very well at the box office but are incredibly funny:

Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle (White Castle is awesome)
Grandma's Boy
UHF
Office Space
Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back


Harold and Kumar are hilarious.. one small fact here... I used to work at White Castle about 21 yrs ago..when I was in highschool... My husband and I love to go get a sack of sliders and watch this movie from time to time.
Office Space, Jay And Silent Bob are great too. I have them both. Someone mentioned Saved , earlier, and I love that one too.
I saw UHF a long time ago.. and I don't think I've ever seen Grandma's Boy. What's that one about?

Freeway was a great movie.  I need to go buy it.

And I loved Ghost Ship, A Knight's Tale and 28 Days (Sandra Bullock.)  

As for Office Space - my co-workers and I used to quote that pretty much constantly.  I freaking adore that movie.

I'm always telling my boss "No More Flare" 
She's always giving us more stuff to hang around our necks with our name badges.. I carry a freaking flipbook around my neck.. with all the pins and little cards attached to my badge.

Tell her to shove the flair up her bum along with those TPS reports ;)

Grandma's Boy is hard to explain.  You kind of have to watch it.  I don't think you have to be stoned either to get a few belly laughs.

another Kevin Smith flick I own that is probably not his best work, but it's better than Jersey Girl....

Vulgar. 

If anyone has seen this one, you might agree, it's hard to watch. It's not really that funny, it's quite disturbing actually.. Yet you can't turn away.

What about Christopher Guest?  I have several of his movies, and I love him with all of my heart, but my husband would definitely consider them "bad" movies.

Oh my god.. Best in Show??? that movie is frickin hilarious.   A Mighty Wind.. I had to watch a couple times.. but This is Spinal Tap... now that's humor du jour.

A couple other ones  that are a bit older.. that are along the same 'mockumentary' lines are
"The History Of White People in America" and "Portrait Of A White Marriage". 

Oh my god.. Best in Show??? that movie is frickin hilarious.   A Mighty Wind.. I had to watch a couple times.. but This is Spinal Tap... now that's humor du jour.


I love them all, but "Waiting for Guffman" is my personal favorite.  Corky St. Clair just kills me.  I can't wait to see his latest.

Waiting for Guffman is the one I don't have. I need to get that one.

This is Spinal Tap... now that's humor du jour. 


Abso-frippin'-lutely!

This is Spinal Tap... now that's humor du jour. 


Possibly one of the best movies ever.

Rob Reiner once told me to piss off.

I own all the Rocky movies, what does that say about me?

George Of The Jungle  :-[

Oh!!  I love Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show and A Mighty Wind...my husband looks at me like I'm nuts when I watch these movies.

waiting for guffman is one of the funniest thigns i have ever ever seen.

What about "History Of the World, Pt. 1"?

One of the best scenes that cracks my wife up:

"Ye-es, no, no, no, no, no, no, ye-es, no, no, no, no, no, no, ye-es, no-no-ye-es....."

oo! oo! what about "Red dawn"?

i dont own it but i should. and it's BAD. but two tons of fun.

Oh!!  I love Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show and A Mighty Wind...my husband looks at me like I'm nuts when I watch these movies.

I liked it.  :-\

sorry, but it sucks! :P and I'm all for weird and bizarre but it was boring.

Another one I saw but don't own.. was "Kissed" which dealt with Necrophilia.. I thought that one was more interesting. It had a better soundtrack too.

I guess it has it's campy appeal..

i saw kissed, it came highly recommended. wasn't that big on it, though i liked it well enough.

chronenberg can do no wrong. if i won 100 million dollars in lotto tomorrow i'd make an incredibly cool and bizarre movie and he'd definitely be on my dream team. "crash" wasn't his best (i.e., the fly, existenz, videodrome) but it was definitely killer.

The Inquisition dance number gets me every time. :)

I've got around 25 movies on VHS and none on DVD since I just rent from Netflix now. Out of those 25 movies I do have the only really odd one in the bunch would be

1972's "Super Fly". I think I got it real cheap back in '97, and the only reason I bought it was because

a) I like its music.
b) I just had to know why Freddie was dead.  ???

(It's really not a bad movie if you take out a couple of minutes overall where it looks and acts like a drive-in flic, that's all)

My favorite noses usually have flared nostrils..
Madonna
Joaquin Phoenix
Noah Wyle
John Amos
Reese Witherspoon
Keanu Reeves


I like button noses or pug noses too... and even some hook noses ala Adrian Brody ..

I generally buy bad movies if they feature actors with great noses... :P  (How was that for getting back on topic?)


Some bad movies I have that feature great noses

Chain Reaction (Keanu Reeves)
Frailty (the cover with Matthew McConaughey's nose is lust inducing... the movie wasn't that good though)

anyone else love
Shock Corridor?

classic!

the IMDB description
ohnny Barrett, an ambitious journalist, is determined to win a Pulitzer Prize by solving a murder committed in a lunatic asylum and witnessed only by three inmates, from whom the police have been unable to extract the information. With the connivance of a psychiatrist, and the reluctant help of his girlfriend, he succeeds in having himself declared insane and sent to the asylum. There he slowly tracks down and interviews the witnesses - but things are stranger than they seem ...


its hysterical. there is a sign hanging in the asylum reading "Nympho Ward"

dang.. I haven't seen it. I love movies that take place in the nut ward..  Have you ever seen "The Snake Pit" ? It's an old movie starring Olivia De Haviland .  She is an amnesiac who finds herself in an insane asylum. It was made in 1948 and is supposed to be a drama, but the asylum scenes are quite humorous.

great part is she comesin a room drunk, leans on the wall and lights a cigarette; but strikes the match on the record playing...it's so over the top!

Death Race 2000


This happens to be a GREAT movie

But my favorite movie Paul Bartel was involved in still has to be Rock n Roll High School.

I just sold off a bunch of my bad movies.  I have so many DVDs that I won't ever watch again, I figure I'll just sell 'em and use the money I get to buy ones that I really really want

No more random DVD buying for me anymore

I knew I was going to remember more. I also have "The Toy".

That one was bad, yet somewhat funny

That one was bad, yet somewhat funny



Yeah, it was. Sometimes I look at the movies I bought over the years and say to myself, "What in the world was I thinking?  :P " But I think I know why. I lived up on a mountain and only had 1/2 a channel on t.v. (I could hear it and some days I could actually see it). So I bought a lot of movies-and the store I bought them from (Ames) didn't have a wide selection. Then I moved to civilization and had cable t.v. so I didn't buy as many movies (I started recording them  ;D ;D ).

caaaaa-razy! i've got the extras disk from devil dog playing right now. what are the odds? there are some interviews i wanna put on youtube.

LOVES me some devil dog.

Never saw " Return to Horror High " so I don't know what it's about.  I just bought " Creepshow " not too long ago and I actually like it.  I got grossed out by the last story with E.G.Marshall as the guy with the cockroaches. Ewww.. I don't like cockroaches so as it is, and that just made it worse.  " Creepshow 2 " wasn't as good as the first but I'd add it to my collection tho.

Cool! Somebody else actually remembers this movie.  :)  But you should know it cause it has Kim Richards in it. :)
I haven't seen it in years and when I found it and bought it, I got upset right away at the beginning. SPOILER: In the beginning when they find the family dog killed in front of their house, it was either a bassett or a beagle. Hard to tell from the backside shot of it. I am a beagle lover and that broke my heart. :(

Cheezy movie esp. when they show what the devil dog actually looks like, but an enjoyable movie nevertheless.

AND ike eisenmann! only time they ever appeared together outside the wm movies. well, and that cheesy blair witch mountain project thing in the late 90s.

there's lots of great stuff for dog lovers -- the devil dog is REALLY cute. which is part of the reason why the movie almost totally doesn't work. you're supposed to take him as all ferocious but he's there yapping and panting and just generally being too cute for words and it's just... not scary.

How about "Monster Dog", which features Alice Cooper?

i actually dont know that one, but i'm guessing the music's probably better than "Devil dog." wouldn't take much.

Because so many of us collect movies (on video tape or DVD), I was wondering how many people other then me have real "stinkers" in our collection.

Now I am not talking about a movie that you bought sight-unseen only to discover it was bad (like the direct to DVD movies "Starship Troopers 2" or "The Butterfly Effect 2").  I am talking about movies that you bought that you knew most people consider them to be bad movies.

And they may actually be movies that you enjoy.  But anybody who looks through your collection will wonder "What in the heck is that movie doing?"  Since I have over 500 movies, I have quite a few that fall under this category.  In fact, quite a few that are listed in Tia's topic are in my collection, which inspired me to start this one.

And here are just a few that I own:

Battlefield Earth
Xanadu
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band
Heaven's Gate
Paint Your Wagon
Beverly Hills Cop III
Cool World
American Pop
North & South Book 3
Fantastic 4
Planet Of The Apes (2001 Tim Burton version)
A Knights Tale
Last Action Hero
Willard (2003 Crispin Glover version)
Titan A.E.
The Family Enforcer
Dune (1984 David Lynch version)
The Man In The Iron Mask
Poseidon
Aeon Flux
Stay Tuned
The Bride
Little Shop Of Horrors (both the 1960 and 1986 versions)
Rollerball (2002 version)
Slapstick
Invaders From Mars (1986 version)
Flashpoint

And finally, one that people always question when they see it in my collection:

The Birth Of A Nation


I like alot of movies like that, particularly B-type '80s stuff. Would Weird Al's UHF count (it's a cult classic now, but apparently bombed at the box office)?

I'll post more later.

Another one I forgot to mention was Caveman.

Is that the one with Ringo Starr, or am I thinking of "Quest for Fire"?

That's the one with Ringo Starr. I think they only had about 5 words in English-the rest was a made-up language. "Atouk luna Lana".  :D

I just bought 'The Lake House' off eBay.  It's supposed to be awful, but hey - it has Keanu Reeves in it.  I'll let you know just how bad it was when it arrives!

I also have alot of Bad Keanu movies that I bought just because he's in them. A bad Keanu movie is worth it in my book.

Ain't that the truth!  ;)

I love the tag line for that movie:

Back when you had to beat it before you could eat it...

What? Up there in the mountains where you get so bored the Ames entertainment section is the only thing that stands between you and catatonia?
Yeah, I think I've been there!
