Know of any real bad B-grade movies that are so bad it's funny?

Asked by LanceVance (645points) February 27th, 2009

I’m looking for some really stupid movies for a booze party. For instance, last time we watched The Attack of the Killer Tomatoes… so basically i’m looking for B-grade hillarious horror movies.

steelmarket's avatar

The Blob
THEM!
The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms
Jason and the Argonauts
Heavy Metal

Some are classics, but definitely would work in your venue.

By “snuck,” I think we were both typing at the same time and you hit “Answer” first. ;)

shockvalue's avatar

@steelmarket ooh, Clash of the Titans is great too! (Jason and the Argonauts reminded me)

If you can find it.

can someone throw up a link for my iTouch challenged ass. the movie is so worth finding

shockvalue's avatar

@Blondesjon For you:

Sorority Babes at the Slimeball Bowl-A-Rama:
IMDB
Wiki

galileogirl's avatar

Sorority Babes and Killer Klowns are bad jokes, not bad movies. Think about movies with professional writers and actors

Night of the Lepus, giant killer RABBITS, starring Jabet Leigh, Stuart Whitman and DeForrest Kelley. It was a published novel, now that’s BAD.

marinelife's avatar

I vote with DrasticDreamer for Black Sheep, which I found screamingly funny. It spoofs genetic engineering, animal activists, and horror movies.

@laureth lurve for Night of the Comet

Frogs is my pick.

galileogirl's avatar

Actually I love Night of the Comets. The Valley girls who look on the end of the earth as a personal inconvenience. When the mad dogs go after them, I am rooting for the dogs. lol

Divalicious's avatar

Carnivore is my favorite

I used to date the writer/director. He still has the monster in a storage unit, and Fox bought the rights for a sequel. It’s a campy good time.

Dorkgirl's avatar

The Terror of Tiny Town
Kentucky Fried Movie—does anyone remember that one? I saw it at the drive-in a few times (geez, I’m old)

LanceVance's avatar

Wow, that’s an extensive list that will do for quite a long time. Thanks guys.

btko's avatar

I’m surprised nobody above mentioned Krull – the best bad movie around.

Blondesjon's avatar

@btko…Dammit! How could I forget Krull. Coolest cyclops in a movie ever.

god, it’s like forgetting about dre…

aprilsimnel's avatar

Piranha

It came out after Jaws was a hit, of course. And there was one about killer bees as well, though I don’t remember the title.

steelmarket's avatar

What’s Up Tiger Lilly by Woody Allen
Allen bought this incredibly bad Japanese movie, wrote an entirely new dialogue (nothing to do with the original plot), and dubbed in his own dialogue. Hilarious !

KingMalefic's avatar

The one I mentioned we did a drinking game. Every time Scientist or Atmospheriaum was said drink.

I finally convinced my friend and the people over to watch it and told them that the drinking rules, they had never having the movie they didn’t know that… “Scientist” is said like 15 times in the first 5 mins of the movie just for starters, I was laughing my ass off they where chugging beers left and right and yelling ” holy shit you have got to be kidding me!” We got toasted hardcore before the movie was close to over. Its a party fav.

Army of Darkness
UHF (starring Weird Al)
Night of the Comet

Blondesjon's avatar

Fuck me gently with a chainsaw. I forgot Heathers.

corn nuts

shockvalue's avatar

@Blondesjon Hahaha, oh god. My friend’s uncle Directed Heathers.

shockvalue's avatar

Another Friend’s uncle directed Bones… the one with Snoop Dogg. Same guy made Carnosaur.

EDIT: I just saw a movie trailer last night for a movie he apparently wrote: The Haunting in Connecticut I have a feeling it’s going to be just as bad.

tb1570's avatar

You mean besides Starship Troopers?

BTW, I absolutely LOVEArmy of Darkness” but I don’t think it belongs on this list b/c it is an intentional spoof.

Bri_L's avatar

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes
Killer Clowns From Outer Space
Toxic Avenger

@ALL you Army of Darkness fans

ubersiren's avatar

Corn. It’s about killer sheep and it stars Jena Malone.

Where is Waffle when you need him? We found a company called The Asylum that produces amazing direct to DVD knock-offs of blockbuster hits. Their repertoire includes such classics as;

Pirates of Treasure Island
Killer Clowns from Outer Space
War of The Worlds 2
Tranmorphers
Snakes on a Train
Alan Quartermange and The Temple of Skulls

and many other horribly hilarious films. Please check them out!

Waffle's avatar

@Foolaholic I’m surprised this didn’t show up in my questions. The Asylum is, by far, the best source for B-list movies.

The best non-asylum B-list out there is Mr. Jingles. It looks like it was filmed on a cell phone.

kevinhardy's avatar

somebody put me in one

mrswho's avatar

I argue that Teeth, Rocky Horror, and Army of Darkness are all good movies, so good that they are good. They might be campy, but are well made and intentionally goofy.

I recommend anything covered my Mystery Science Theater 3000, and Buckaroo Banzai.

Blondesjon's avatar

I must be the only one who thought Army of Darkness was just plain bad. Evil Dead II was the best of that series if not one of the best B-Horror movies of all time. I still get chills when Ashe fires up the chainsaw he replaced his severed hand with and, after a moment of admiration, utters, “Groovy.”

mrswho's avatar

oooh, the Legend of Boggy Creek!!!

Dorkgirl's avatar

@mrswho—Buckaroo Banzai! I forgot all about that one. Good pick.

shockvalue's avatar

@Dorkgirl HEY! there’s nothing B about Buckaroo! That movie’s a class act! GRADE A!

Prof1980's avatar

You need to watch Dead Alive – one of Peter Jackson’s first movies. Me and my dad watched it a long time ago, cause my dad had a knack for picking the worst horror movies to rent. We ended up laughing the whole time – like I was literally hurting from laughter. Good stuff.
