Anyone watched anything that's so bad you just have to keep going with it?

I've just got "Plan 9 From Outer Space". (1959 B&W)
The description on Lovefilm is:

"With its incoherent plot, jaw-droppingly odd dialogue, inept acting, threadbare production design, and special effects so shoddy that they border on the surreal, Plan 9 From Outer Space has often been called the worst movie ever made. But it's an oddly endearing disaster; boasting genuine enthusiasm and undeniable charm, it is the work of people who loved movies and loved making them, even if they displayed little visible talent. In Plan 9, alien invaders attempt to conquer the world by raising the dead, starting with an old man dressed in a Dracula costume..."

It's my first film by Ed Wood so I'm hoping it lives up to the reputation! :D
 
A lot of 80's films fall into the so bad its good bracket.

Films with Arnie in seem to fit the bill, such as commando, twins etc etc.
 
Ready to Rumble/Any David Arquette film
Waterworld
Fifth Element
Friday, Next Friday, The Friday After
Any Cheech and Chung Film
 
Big Trouble in Little China is not "so bad it's good"; it's just good!

The critics say no, the box office says no. But i say YES!

It is a good film, its just not a straight up film, once you realise this and re set your focus, you can enjoy it for the quality it has...

Same with From Dusk till Dawn...

An example of a bad film is, (the original), 'The Crazies'. That is simply an awful film from start to end. Just horrifically made, bad script, bad acting, lame all the way through.

Maybe something like Krul is so bad it is amusingly good once every so often.

Barbarella (classic)
Idiocracy (prophetic?)

I was subjected to 'Fred: the movie' a few weeks ago, excruciatingly bad!
 
Yep loads, me and my mates watch terrible films all the time.

Plan 9 from Outer Space
Glen or Glenda
Monster A Go-Go
Manos: The Hands of Fate - Hilariously bad, highly recommended.
Psycho Cop and Psycho Cop 2 - Superbly bad, the sequel is probably better of the two.
Mega Shark Versus Crocosaurus
Mega Piranha


Troll 2 is the best of anything though, amazingly bad!


Loads others but I forget the names now.
 
A mate of mine does a Bad Film night every monday on Livestream. I'll ask him to see if I can share the link.

Been some right crackers shown, The Room, Birdemic with its infamous clip-art birds, Basketcase 2, a LOT of The Asylum's films.
