DC Tom Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 I disagree wholeheartedly on Pitch Perfect.Love that movie, but I do not think it is a bad movie....I think it is really good! But I also watch Glee cause I like it, so there's that. The Flash Gordon from late 70's with the Quenn soundtrack...that is just god awful and I love it. Early '80s actually. Absolutely likable, just for Brian Blessed's over-the-top performance. Includes the worst line in the history of film, too: "Flash! I love you! But we only have fourteen hours to save the Earth!"
Mark Vader Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) Maybe not, but I still consider it a pretty bad movie, all things considered. But that is how you perceive it. Overall "Pacific Rim" is a well liked movie, and your original point was to pick a film that is overall considered to be terrible. If this thread was about movies that you think are overrated, then that would be fine. Edited June 27, 2014 by Mark Vader

LB3 Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 Eragon. It's awful and I love it. I'll watch it whenever it's on TV and I even own the piece of $#@%.
Doc Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 I'll watch any of the Alien films after "Aliens" and Prometheus, even though they were crap, just because I love the xenomorphs.
Rubes Posted June 27, 2014 Author Posted June 27, 2014 But that is how you perceive it. Overall "Pacific Rim" is a well liked movie, and your original point was to pick a film that is overall considered to be terrible. If this thread was about movies that you think are overrated, then that would be fine. The exact wording was "What movies that you know are truly just bad movies". Perhaps you interpret that as meaning what is generally voted on by the public as such, but I don't. And I certainly didn't mean "overrated". But feel free not to participate if you don't agree.

Yep, there's that.

Mark Vader Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 The exact wording was "What movies that you know are truly just bad movies". Perhaps you interpret that as meaning what is generally voted on by the public as such, but I don't. And I certainly didn't mean "overrated". But feel free not to participate if you don't agree. I guess I misinterpreted your meaning. The thread title is: "Truly bad movies you're embarrassed to admit you like". To me that means movies that are generally to be considered by an overwhelming majority of people that they are terrible. So when you said "Pacific Rim", that is a movie that I and others here don't necessarily see as a terrible movie. When I think of a terrible movie, I think of something from "Mystery Science Theater 3000", like "Eegah", "Invasion of the Neptune Men", "Manos: The Hands of Fate", "Ring of Terror", "I Accuse My Parents", "Monster A-Go-Go", "Danger: Death Ray" or "Castle of Fu Manchu". But I see where you are going with this thread, and it sounds a bit more subjective than what I was thinking. Hope you understand more of what I meant.
eiregi Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 Gotta go with 'Saving Silverman'.... looking back it was a funny but insipid movie, but I'll watch it any time it comes across a cable if I'm flipping through... I was up early 3 weeks ago and 'Eraserhead' was on one the Showtime channels... First saw that movie in '82... and well it was strange then, still today... 32 years on...
birdog1960 Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 (edited) flesh gordon. i think it was r rated and pretty racy at the time. saw it at a niagara falls drive-in. surely mild by todays standards but still very funny. http://www.totalfilm.com/features/50-best-movie-spoof-moments Edited June 28, 2014 by birdog1960
birdog1960 Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 (edited) Battlefield Earth Contact Contact is one of my favorite movies. watched it many times. Edited June 28, 2014 by birdog1960
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 I love pitch perfect. The musical numbers are great; I actually downloaded the last two finals songs. If anyone likes that movie, you should check out old clips from the acapella TV show "the sing off"-- which was pretty much the best singing show out there. I really like niche movies like that, which feature a peak inside some odd world (eg, pitch perfect, drumline, spellbound, king of kong). I may be incorrect, but I think I saw that they have axed the sing off. I watched that show. DVD delay to FF through the personal side of the groups.
Maury Ballstein Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 Sing off was more enjoyable than the other singing shows IMO. Not sure why it didn't catch on. Seemed liked they rushed thru the seasons.

Seemed liked they rushed thru the seasons. it seems rushed because they don't show the VERY BAD auditions I watch the others only in the beginning to see the horrible acts.
truth on hold Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 (edited) If I liked it then by definition I thought it was good. But one that got destroyed by critics that I liked was "The Brown Bunny" Edited June 28, 2014 by Joe_the_6_pack
Mark Vader Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 I know there are several films I really enjoy that others would deem awful: "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace" "Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones" "The Blair Witch Project" "The Village"
Maury Ballstein Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 Sing off had the best judges too-- eg, Ben folds, Shawn stockman from boyz2 men, sara barellis-- who gave real substantive comments. The show was just great music by real musicians. I think they canceled it, but now run it for like 2 weeks around Christmas. Yep me and the lady loved it. So many good groups. Sara bareilles and Ben are great fun judges. Some of those Ivy League guy groups were awesome. Let's not lose all our credibility like plezmd and say we enjoy glee. But #bringbackthesingoff
