20 Best Bad Movies of All Time
The May issue of GQ had a piece on the 25 Best Bad Movies of All Time. These are films that we still sit through and enjoy despite being awful, “Guilty pleasures” you might say. Movies that we turn off when people enter the room. Films that would ruin our reputation if our friends ever find out that we like them. They’re DVD’s that we hide behind our Spielberg & Scorcese collection. GQ’s list include movies like, Point Break, Vanilla Sky, Smokey and the Bandit, etc …
Here’s my own list of the 20 Best Bad Movies of All Time (and I’m not embarrassed to admit it):
20) The Mummy - Thanks to the Holliday kids, I'm hooked!
19) First Blood – Rambo’s first introduction to the world. No handshake here – eat this grenade sucka!
18) Real Genius – Seems like it’s on Comedy Central every weekend. This is proof that Val Kilmer’s acting skills has not improved over the years.
17) Rocky III – Perhaps my favorite of all the Rocky movies. They were all bad mind you.
16) Troy – Bad acting, hunky men, and a gorgeous Helen – imagine what could have been.
15) Phantom Menace – They’re on this list thanks to Jake Lloyd, Jar Jar, and George Lucas. That’s neither good nor bad.
14) Jurassic Park II – Another case of a sequel gone wrong. The T-Rex is still on the loose by the way.
13) Superman II – So let me get this, Superman gives up his powers to be with Margot Kidder? Pleeaze!
12) Ghostbusters – Bad special effects, slime, the Stay Puft marshmallow man, and Bill Murray. ‘Nuff said.
11) Starship Troopers – It’s bad. It’s sci-fi bad. But, you can’t deny the gore, the nudity, the bad script, and the special effects. Take that George Lucas!
10) Bloodsport - Every bad movie list needs to have a Van Damme flick included in it.
9) America Pie I & II – Ok, so I like the dirty jokes every once in a while. Is that bad?
8) The Replacements – Keanu as a pro-quarterback? Stick with Neo.
7) Terminator II – It’s funny how Arnold’s Terminator & his Governator really have a lot in common.
6) Major League I & II – The bad version of “If you build it, they will come”.
5) Clash of the Titans – My first taste of Greek mythology. Taste better with ketchup.
4) Armageddon – It’s Ben Affleck! The sky is falling! The sky is falling!
3) Return of the Jedi – As much as I hate those Ewoks, this is still a good bad finale to an epic.
2) Independence Day – When Will Smith punched the alien and said, "Welcome to Earth", it almost brought tears to my eyes.
1) Karate Kid I, II & III – It’s a mystery to me why I still enjoy this series. Maybe it’s because of the aura of Mr. Miyagi. Or, maybe because it’s an underdog story – a skinny, but courageous young kid against mean, rich teenagers conspiring to bring him down. Or maybe it's the "Crane" stance. Oh, that Daniel Larusso!

Clash of the Titans, Ghostbusters and the original Karate Kid are all awesome movies
Oh man. Return of the Jedi was my favorite.
The Ewoks pretty much ruined the whole movie for me. RETURN OF THE JEDI was bad because of that. But, it's still a sci-fi classic.
Oh man, the Karate Kid movies...everytime I watch them I just wanna beat the crap out of Daniel-son. There is NO way that scrawny, Wesley Crusher type of guy could beat up even a grandma, let alone anyone for that matter.
whoah...wait a minute...i like most of those movies...and there is no way blodsport is in that list...no way!
