/r/badMovies
The official subreddit for the celebration of movies that are so bad, they're good.
The absolute best of the worst. Post links or discussions of your favorite shitty movies.
RULES:
1: DO NOT post links to movies that you didn't like (ie. "Inception was the worst movie because it was popular") and try not to post movies that are completely unwatchable with no redeeming value. This subreddit is dedicated to movies that are so bad, they're good.
2: If it's not on IMDB/TMDB/Letterboxd, don't post it. I'm sure there's a subreddit for your homemade youtube movies, but it isn't this one.
3: No "This" submissions. Please make your post title clear, addressing the movie, director, or topic of discussion that is the subject of your post. Elaborate on why you think the movie is bad. Posts simply stating a movie title will be removed.
4: If you know where the movie can be viewed please add the streaming service in brackets "[]" next to the name.
5: Please do not post direct links to torrents or downloads of copyrighted material (unless the link is to the Copyright Holder's official page/channel). If someone posts YouTube links where they've uploaded a movie and you feel that is a violation of YouTube's ToS, feel free to use the tools available to report them on YouTube's site. We are not equipped to determine who is and isn't a copyright holder.
6: No selling or advertising. If you are not contributing to the discussion of bad movies in some way, your post will be removed.
7: Review links must be from established review websites that are official sources of movie news (such as AVClub, Collider, etc.). User written reviews must be posted as text posts. Users may include a link to their own website at the end of the post.
8: Please refrain from posting in the subreddit more than twice per day. We don't want any one user to dominate our front page.
9: Don't be an asshole. Disagreeing is fine, letting your argument get out of hand, is not.
10: No posting of Blacklisted movies.
11: Do not post actual pornography. Mark NSFW as appropriate. Do not post links or discussions about actual pornography. Movies with NSFW scenes are fine, but "Lemon Whores" or "Super Hornio Brothers" are not what this sub is about.
This subreddit is for obscure movies where things like bad special effects, ludicrous stories and terrible acting make them entertaining.

“Christopher the Christmas Tree” tells the story of Christopher, the only tree in the Christmas tree farm that hasn’t been selected to be a family’s Christmas tree. (SPOILER ALERT: He finally gets his wish in the end, but you probably already guessed that.) It’s one of those animated Christmas specials that was an animation company’s only production.
I first saw this when I was 10 in 1993…and even back then I thought it was shit. The character designs are way too cutesy, the songs are horrible (I still get “Christopher, We Love You” stuck in my head frequently), and the story is dull as hell. It’s basically the kind of cartoon you put on for your kids to keep them occupied for half an hour.
But I guess it could be worse…at least it’s not as bad as “The Christmas Tree!”
The hobby watching bad movies has shown me how much enjoyment I can get out of these low budget nonsense films. Even though, for example, Troll 2, Suburban Sasquatch, and Fateful Findings have given me so much joy and I consider them the perfect terrible trilogy, I could not just say "Oh give them 5 stars" or "10/10" because obviously because these movies are often lazy, ego driven, or just plain doomed from the start because their creators have no experience.
So I believe we should be rating movies on a spectrum. A perfect So Bad It's Good Movie, would be a -5 on the spectrum. Absolutely wonderfully terrible in every way. A true masterpiece like a RoboCop, Superman The Movie, or Shaun of The Dead would all be 5.
However a zero is the absolute worst thing you can be. Truly boring. No enjoyment value whatsoever. A genuine waste of time.
This is idea is in Beta so to speak, so what do you think? What are some perfect -5 star movies? Is your favorite bad movie as good as your favorite masterpiece just because of the experience?
Hit me gang. What are your thoughts?
Credit where it's due, Thomas Jane, Billy Bob Thornton and gang do what is required from them for a movie called Into the Grizzly Maze. And the bear doesn't look bad (mostly), because they used a real bear and then digital trickery to make it look bigger. But boy is this no style and no substance. The story is just bear kills people, with some half assed attempt at an environmental message. They're just literally just shooting in the (admittedly nice looking) forest. Other than that, it's just bear kills.
The best thing about this for me is that, for reasons I cannot fathom, instead of making the bear roar like a bear, they used the soundbites from the Jurassic Park Trex. It's a very vocal bear too, so it's near constant Trex roaring. And it's never not funny.
As a fan of Animal Attack horror, I find this to be a simplistic treat.
This is one of those children’s movies that has questionable elements that kids will overlook, but adults will be baffled by. There is straight-up nudity in this children’s movie (shown in the trailer). We can get into a discussion about how it’s just a butt and it’s not sexualized (at least until the dad sees her, and from that point on, things are hot and heavy), but it’s jarring to see nonetheless. The teacher is awful, the gnomes are hilarious, and here’s Jeff Fahey again being Jeff Fahey. Trailer below.
Looking for some recommendations for so bad they're good Christmas Movies THAT AREN'T SILENT NIGHT DEADLY NIGHT. Slashers, kids movies, whatever is weird and crazy for a Christmas film
bonus points if they're Hallmark movies that go beyond the formula to be truly insane.
So everyone knows The Room, Plan 9, Troll 2, Birdemic, etc. But what so bad, it's good movies deserve to be mentioned with those? I honestly really think Ben & Arthur should be mentioned with those. It doesn't have as much of a following as those movies. It does have a following with bad movie fans such as myself but it's not worldwide. I also think Max Magician and the Legend of the Rings is another classic so bad, it's good that isn't as well known as those.
For reasons that even we do not understand, me and my friend are on the quest to watch all of the Robert Z'dar films (Yes, even the Scott Shaw ones)
Tubi has been a gold mine and many others are hosted on YouTube. However the 2012 film "Little Creeps" has completely eluded us.
It isn't on any streaming service, not on youtube, there's no copies for sale on Ebay, the website and Facebook for it has shut down, and I don't know where else to look. It doesnt even have any reviews on Letterboxd.
The only way I know it even really exists is some content creators have done reviews for it.
I'm asking here because it is almost certainly going to be BAD, an I know yall are experts in this field.
If anyone has any help or ideas I greatly appreciate it. Thank you 👍
I ask because I just looked up and it seems it's a sequel to II, but I thought it was the Asylum's other Titanic cash grab on both the movie and ship itself. Any connections or it's just another in name only?
They don't get much worse than this unless you prefer them gruesome and, for many, offensive. In 3D, mind you. Blech! 1973.
You see despite being sort of a cheesy film I have an interest in this guy especially the one in sharktopus vs pteracuda, mainly because in the sequel the new sharktopus appears as an anti hero rather than a villain and seeing a monstrous animal as basically the protagonist is usually fun to see. However a headcanon I have is that the tentacles of sharktopus are secretly prehensile tails in disguise, I say this cause he sometimes acts more like a shark rather than an octopus despite being a hybrid of the two. I also think this cause it’s pretty interesting in my opinion, but what do you think about it this headcanon?
So, this thing popped up on my Amazon algorithm, and I was a bit baffled. While I’ve had passing familiarity with Seagal’s…. questionable film output for a while, I was a bit baffled by this, because I had never heard of ANY of these films.
Did a little research, and it turns out that each of these “movies” is actually 2-3 episodes of Seagal’s failed TV show, “True Justice”, lazily edited together. It appears that these 12 “movies” comprise the entire series, more or less.
Now, does this mean you shouldn’t buy and/or watch these “movies”? Honestly, if you’re willingly buying and watching a Seagal movie in 2024, you probably know what you’re getting into. So go for it. But just know that these aren’t “Movies” in the traditional sense, even by Seagal’s standards.
After a nearly fatal car accident a woman is left bedridden in a full body cast and uses a spiritual trinket to possess an unmanned car to go on a bloody rampage, causing chaos and destruction in its wake. Kinda similar to Maximum Overdrive in the sense that it’s a good movie where you just shut your brain off to watch some awesome vehicular destruction and carnage and try not to make sense of anything.
Oh boy, this was pretty great. The characters in here make such stupid choices the whole time, and I loved the bad acting so much. I’m honestly considering making a Frankenstein Island of my own, because it seems fun. Apparently all you have to do is purchase a small Tesla coil and become a real creep, so I’m halfway there.
