Wondering what people's favorite "bad" movies are. Can be low budget, box office flops, foreign, so bad it's good, whatever. I'm pretty big on Cannon Group stuff and cheesy Turkish pop cinema (Tarkan vs. the Vikings, etc.). Mostly go for 80s stuff as that's my generation.

Johnny Mnemonic and Lawnmower Man are B movies?

If you're not laughing at how absurdly bad both of these films are, I don't know what to tell you. The comedy of them is what makes them B-Movies to me.

I want to get online. I need! A computer!

I don't know what to say the delivery kills me every time. So over the top and absurd.

Considering Leonard Maltin gave Laserblast the same 2.5 stars as Temple of Doom I guess B is in the eye of the beholder

I just watched Buckaroo Bonzai having heard nothing about it. Fucking brilliant movie. I need to watch it again now that I know what I'm in for
