Wondering what people's favorite "bad" movies are. Can be low budget, box office flops, foreign, so bad it's good, whatever. I'm pretty big on Cannon Group stuff and cheesy Turkish pop cinema (Tarkan vs. the Vikings, etc.). Mostly go for 80s stuff as that's my generation.

Class of 1999 - The movie The Faculty kinda ripped off.

Turbo Kid - Mad Max on BMX

American Gothic - Fun little horror movie

Final Girls - Meta horror movie

Waxwork - Sooooo much fun!

Action USA is an amazing action movie done solely by stunt people

I recently watched "Pieces" and I was laughing my ass off through the movie, It's a weird little slasher. It felt like if Terrifier embraced the fact that it was a complete trash movie. Hell maybe even Terrifier was inspired by this .

Other than that I'm a sucker for low budget foreign horror. There is something about bad Indonesian horror films that just makes me smile every time. Late 90's and 2010's Japanese horror action films like "versus", newer ones like "Tokio gore police", "Robo Geisha" and "meatball machine"

Tetsuo the Iron man is probably one of my favorite films of all time, but I don't consider that a bad movie by any means.
