Karen Black panicking as she attempts to fly the plane to safety,
Helen Reddy as a nun singing "Best Friend" to Linda Blair... I may be in
the minority but I think this is funnier than Airplane!
I
guess this isn't really a 'bad' movie (it was nominated for the Golden
Globe for Best Film - Drama after all!). The special effects may be on
the shoddy side now, the soap opera-ish buildup feels eternal, and Ava
Gardner is just dreadful (and miscast!) in it, but it's so sincere and a
hoot to watch.
This film continues to inspire me. The gaudy 70s fashions, Joan Collins, puppet ants, the fun Body Snatchers-type twist, and Pamela Susan Shoop screaming out "My God, they're herding us like cattle!"
Jittery teen girl with telekinesis powers (shameless Carrie rip-off) brings the hockey masked killer back from his watery grave and I find every moment entertaining.
Mother
Nature (not just frogs but crocs, birds and snapping turtles!) gets
revenge in the worst ways in this one. Growing up in the rural south,
this film had a particular impact on me. Watching the film now, I
suddenly find Sam Elliott very attractive.
I
saw this in an empty theater to get my mind off of September 11th.
It's pretty wretched but Mariah Carey is a guilty pleasure for me...
the line "the glitter must not overpower the artist!" is classic.
Many
regard this sluggish slasher as one of the worst sequels of the bunch,
but there's something about the 80s atmosphere that makes it a nostalgic
watch for me and I love how expressively over-the-top the Tina (Wendy
Kaplan) character is.
Is
this a bad movie? I think it's brilliant, one of the funniest movies
I've seen and Pamela Springsteen is aces as the kooky killer.
Epic, stodgy killer bee movie. I don't think there's a well-acted/scripted/shot moment in the entire thing.
Tacky Irwin Allen volcano flick. Amazing all-star cast (including
late Ernest Borgnine!). It certainly has the bittersweet feel of the end
of an (disaster movie) era.

Jeffery Berg - it's like you looked into my soul and picked out all the bad movies I love too. This is an excellent selection. The only one I disagree with is GLITTER. Glitter is an EXCELLENT movie. Mariah should have won an Oscar for that hot mess! I really enjoyed this! Thank you.
Yeah, there is something about Halloween 5 I like too. It's amazing how much worse his mask looks by this point.
This one was lots of fun.
Good stuff... though you may just be the only person in history to say that they *liked* Halloween 5's Tina.
