/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.

Prey of the Jaguar [1997] -- Guy loses his family, becomes vigilante inspired by his dead son's Superhero OC (Tubi)
Every 90s American Action cliché rolled into one. With such bad acting, weird story pacing, and bizarre humour moments from a guy whose family was murdered, like, yesterday 🤔🤔
Also idk why there's a Tim Burton looking city in this poster. It's just normal 90s LA.

The Fallen Ones (2005) I’m a sucker for films featuring “giants” and this one fumbles it’s relatively simple plot every step of the way, with hilarious outcomes.

Homoti (1987) Full Movie - Turkish E.T, except our extraterrestrial has a thing for Turkish earth-men and has a HUGE ass - Full of transcendental bits of wisdom such as "Tell a lunatic to flirt, he'll shit on your carpet."

The Super Ninja - if this poster hasn't convinced you to look for this, I don't know what will...

Anyone else notice Tubi has been trying to go more legit? I had some bumper stickers made to fight back!
My partner and I are starting a bad movie film festival and we're giving away a bunch of prizes. We've noticed Tubi is trying to phase out their garbage to bring in more "quality" films (this has been verified by some independent filmmakers I know who recently tried to get distribution on Tubi).
So I had these bumper stickers made to give away at our festival. We gotta make our voices heard and fight the good fight! Keep Tubi trashy!

Today’s Tubi Treasure is Spaced Man (2013)
I have to admit, I laughed quite a bit at this one. Not, I’m sure, where the filmmakers intended for me to laugh, but more so out of disbelief. This is a pretty great one. It says it came out in 2013, but if you would’ve told me this was from 1994, I would’ve believed you.

Van Wilder: The Raise of Taj is a movie I dare to say is better then the original

Chasing the White Dragon (2008, Tubi).
A nazi meth chemist, a hothead alpha male (really, a beta male), and their little band of friends getting into junkie trouble. How this movie was shit looks like it was done for a high school journalism/media/communications class. A very amateur feature presentation.
Also, I've never seen content on Tubi NOT have subtitles. The lost-and-found Three Stooges travel special even has subtitles 🤣.

Sluts And Goddesses Video Workshop (1992) "One of the craziest self-help videos I have ever seen. You could say this boarders on surreal humor that you'd find in something like Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job."

This is the most shameless of the Jaws Ripoffs. It is also easily one of, if not the best, film by Bruno Mattai.
The plot? Jaws. The characters? Jaws. The effects footage? Jaws (1, 2 and 3 plus The Last Shark). The dialogue? Jaws. The setting? Jaws, and Jaws 3. The music? Star Wars.
It's on Prime here in the UK. You like bad killer animal movies? I can't recommend it enough? It's more joyful to watch than Jaws the Revenge.

Firstborn
Found on Netflix. This is the most early 80s teen family drama. If you want to know what it felt like living in that era, the random slow moments, brothers fighting, and school scenes nail it. Random afterschool special vibes, the “I’m angry better ride my dirtbike” scene, and “Mom, are you a cokehead?”Bonus point for introducing Cory Haim, young RDJ and SJP, and very angry Peter Welles.

I feel he could be the patron saint of very questionable movie choices. So, what's your favorite over the top and/or cringe Nicholas Cage moment?

The Barbarians (1987)
Some of the worst bad good acting ever pumped up by roids and a whole ton of fun..... muh gawd it's awfully good.

Hamburger: The Motion Picture (1986)
This is one of the strangest damn movies I have ever seen it's almost like it captures a moment in time free basing coke. Maybe I shouldn't have watched this at like 7 years old on adhd medication. LOL

Tubi or not Tubi: Cat-Women of the Moon (1953) – alien cat women (played by the "Hollywood Cover Girls") plot to steal Earth with the help of leotards, dancing, seduction of stupid Earth astromen, and mind-control of women!
Laird Grainger (Sonny Tufts) is leading the first expedition to the moon. Helen (Marie Windsor), their navigator (and cook), has them land on the dark side of the moon where they encounter the cat women, led by Alpha. These women, using their evil feminine charms, want to take over the rocket and return to Earth to rule. They think they can do this because they have the telepathic power to control women, but not men. Instead, they intend to seduce the information out of the men, which turns out to work as NASA guys are into the cat-girl thing. Luckily, the hero of the story, Kip (Victor Jory) discovers the plot when he hurts Helen by twisting her arm (“Oh come on now, I’m not hurting you that much.”), temporarily breaking the cat women’s spell and causing her to fall back in line.
Shockingly bad dialog (“You’re too smart for me baby, I like ‘em stupid.”), dreadful special effects (spider puppets that scream like a rusty baby), tacky costumes (the cat women wear leotards and the astronauts’ helmets don’t match), obvious sets (sound stages, the space ship has concrete floors), so much chauvinism, and massive science failures make this a must-see. The ending is especially notable as ... well ... you have to see it (kind of).
If all of this sounds kind sounds kind of familiar, it’s because this (along with Queen of Space) was a major inspiration for Amazon Women on the Moon, although that was better made (yes, really).
Incidentally, before making this masterpiece, star Sonny Tufts was sued by two women for allegedly biting their thighs (?!) and jailed for drunkenness at the insistence of his own wife.
Music by the late, great Elmer Bernstein (whose name is misspelled in the credits).
TIL: In space, no one can hear you dance.
TL;DR: Earthlings versus moon cat-women in a film cheesy even for 50s sci-fi B-movies.
It’s on Tubi and Youtube.

Battlefield Earth (2000)
Considered by many to be one of the worst SciFi fiilms ever made and yes there is a whole lot that went wrong with this. From John Travolta hamming up his performance as the bad alien dude and way over acting, the paint by numbers plot from too many other science fiction films, the at times nonsensical plot points etc. Yet on a rewatch 24 years later there is a so bad it's good quality to this production that I think might have been overlooked. The cast really gives it all and the bad lines are groaners. A good one to watch with friends and riff as it's playing.

Night of the Lepus (1972)
Scientists mess with hormones attempting to control exploding rabbit population. One escapes and breeds an army of giant murderous bunnies.
Great special effects…the miniature sets are amazing. Childhood classic.

On the topic of soap operas: The Boy Next Door (2022) low budget soap w/ stilted acting, plot points that were introduced in one line of dialogue and never referenced again, and unrealistic situations for a film that seems to try and base itself in reality. Yet, I still got sucked up in the drama.
And a lovely poster, to boot!

Today’s Tubi Treasure is His Last Wish
This movie is not concerned with the nuances of the legal system or medical processes whatsoever. Instead, it tells a Jerry Springer-esque story in the style of a soap opera, with some of the most ridiculous dialogue I’ve ever heard spoken seriously. The main character has yells at a Spinal Tap-level volume throughout, and the other lady has almost no expressions at all. Check out the trailer below.

The Necro Files (1997) - A cannibal rapist rises from the grave as a flesh-eating zombie sex maniac. Two Seattle cops, a satanic cult and a flying demon fetus try to stop the lust-crazed ghoul before he can kill again. Apparently not directed by Martin Scorsese.

Monstrosity (1987) - A young man, whose girlfriend was killed by street thugs, builds a Golem which is then programed to go out and kill the thugs.
