5 Movies So Bad, They're Good

Good evening / night, friends!

I hope you all had a wonderful day today! And if not, it's never too late to turn that frown upside down! And I know exactly how to help! Or at least I have some ideas for you to try tonight...

And those ideas include 5 amazingly bad movies. Have you ever seen a movie so so so bad that you could NOT stop watching? C'mon, I know you have. But if not... Welp, you're in luck! I got a whole list of 'em!

Most of the movies on this list are categorized as science fiction, though I will say this: I have seen so many other non-science fiction movies that I personally felt were absolutely horrific and I often ask myself, as well as others around me, "How the hell did this movie ever make it onto the big screen?"

Fear not, friends - this list is not a list of famous movies that made it big in Hollywood. Thank God. This list consists of a variety of movies made by the SyFy network and/or any other director or producer that has no idea what they're doing. So sit back, relax, read this list, and get online, or go to your nearest library or movie rental store (do they even have those anymore?), or download that sh*t illegally! (It'll be well worth the prison time).

For the record - these are in no particular order of worst or best or whichever. They are for whichever order you prefer but you may find the first two on TV a lot this whole upcoming week...

1. Sharknado. This is actually the reason I decided to write this article - because I watched this tonight. Like, an hour ago. And by golly, Miss Molly! It is thrilling, hilarious, scary, wonderful, and fantastic - ALL IN ONE. It is literally about a tornado full of sharks. How you ask? Like I would know. Ask the folks over at SyFy. They know how to make a bad movie while also making a ton of money and hype about it. But let me just say: be prepared for the greatest acting performance by Tara Reid. Yes, Tara Reid. Get out there and get ready to watch this epic movie just in time for Shark Week! (Disclaimer: This movie is totally unrelated to the Discovery Channel Shark Week... But just as good).


2. Sharknado 2: The Second One! Yup, you read right. That's the title of the second of this epic adventure series starring Miss Tara Reid. AND Vivica A. Fox. AND Billy Ray Cyrus. AND a million other Z-list celebs you will die laughing when you see in this movie. I also watched this tonight... (Shut up, I have a lot of time on my hands and I don't always know what to do with it - so obviously I watch movies like this for pure entertainment reasons). I gotta say - this one was even better than the first. So maybe if you're not feeling it, go for the second one. It's 100 times more epic, funny, silly, and stupid. So I mean, why not give it a try?

3. Anything with "SHARK" in the title. There are seriously at least half a dozen of these movies. So honestly, this blog post is giving you even more than you bargained for. You're welcome. Here are some awesome examples just to name a few: Mega Shark, Mega Shark Versus Giant Octopus, Mega Shark Versus Crocosaurus, Sharktopus, and Sharktopus Versus Pteracuda (Conan O'Brien makes a hilarious appearance in this last one). Just when you thought one couldn't mash enough sea creatures' and other animals' names together, you thought wrong. Have at it!

4. Mandrake. This was the first really bad I think I watched and can remember. It was HYSTERICAL. It is a legitimate movie with all the aspects of a parody movie. The opening scene will already have you dying with laughter. This monster lurks in a forest or jungle sort of thing and terrorizes tourists and scientists and natives alike. It brutally and viciously kills them with its long stems and roots. Oh, and the CGI is incredible. (Sarcasm, duh). Which, I should have mentioned the special effects and things for the above movies on this list - they are all horribly done, and obviously done with as little money or experience as possible. But it honestly makes it that much better. People seriously pay money to go see these movies when they put them in the theater, and it's great. I'm tellin' ya, this one though... A true keeper. Green screen, acting, all of it is just truly amazing. Please go check this one out right this very second. I've been wanting to re-watch it in all its glory all day long.

5. Killer Klowns From Outer Space. The title in itself explains a lot. I think this is an 80s movie, or maybe 90s. At least it seems that way. Who knows, maybe it's even in the 2000s. I really hope not. But it's about exactly what it says. Creepy as F*CK clowns that come from outer space to kill humans in the weirdest and most disturbing of ways. This may or may not give you nightmares. I know it did for me. I'm a pansy though when it comes to scary things. I also originally thought the Mandrake poster was scary -- and then I watched the movie and could not stop laughing at both myself and the movie. Anyway, Killer Klowns certainly makes it onto my list, even if it is #5.

There you have it, guys! Five horrific and God-awful movies that are just so bad, they're GREAT! Don't get me wrong, there are so many more out there that I have yet to even see. If you have any you can think of, please do inform me. I must look into them right away.

Before I go, I'd also like to mention a few bad movies I've been interested in watching for a while now, and I will let you know how they are once I watch them. These include: Triassic Attack (starring Emilia Clarke! - my favorite favorite favorite actress from the HBO TV series Game of Thrones!), Birdemic: Shock and Terror, Troll, and Troll 2. 

Have fun, peeps! Let me know what you think of them! G'night!
