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.

LOL Phantoms sitting at 9% on Rotten Tomatoes. Definitely checking that one out!

I thought it was ok for what it was. But then again, I like b-movies and especially mystical horror b-movies.

It's actually pretty hard to find!

Jennifer Lopez was in a more recent one that was high budget but was so bad it reminded me of Anaconda.

Atlas.

This actually has surprisingly good writing and character development, until it fell into the usual trap of an overblown, cliche, and boring 30 minute final battle. Also check out Carry On, which is the literal definition of ‘So bad it’s good’….. until an overblown and boring 30 minute final battle that almost ruins everything else.
