Best Bad Movies for Your Next Movie Night

There are those who believe that movies are a kind of art form. I happen to be one of those. I even have a minor degree in Film Theory and Criticism. Yes, this means I am a bit of a movie snob. Yes, it also means I majored and minored in unemployment. However, despite the fact that I have watched and enjoyed many consider snobbish I have a kind of soft spot for bad movies.

I was a huge fan of “Mystery Science Theater 3000.” This was a show where they showed truly awful movies and had these kind of shadows in front of the “screen” who were characters that then made fun of the movies. This made for truly hilarious movie-watching. Sadly, it’s a show that is no longer on the air and one that I, personally, miss greatly.

The types of movies they watched on MST3K were generally low-budget horror films. These were generally the types of movies that you know, five seconds after starting them, that they were awful films. Often these movies had opening credits that were cheesy and awful.

However, there are those of us out here who have our own MST3K festivals. We get together and watch horrible movies and make fun of them. It can be a lot of fun, but it can also take a strong stomach. I am especially fond of big-budget disasters. Sometimes you watch a movie that had millions of dollars behind it. These movies have huge casts with bankable stars in them. Some had directors who have done great things. However, something just went horribly wrong. These are movies that are so bad you actually can still enjoy watching them on your own.

So, I am providing you some of my favorite big-budget bad movies. If you enjoy watching these as well you may want to jot these down and add them to your list. Have one of your parties and enjoy. Some of these really need to be watched in groups. They are not in any particular order. These are all equally stinky.
