The best worst film I've seen

dogload

Possibly. Seriously awful but strangely compelling. I love sci-fi B-movies, but this is like scratching a rash. Rotten acting, rizla-thin plot, shit robots, duff effects and inappropriate soundtrack... I give you Space Odyssey!

Anybody else?

Psycho Beach Party comes to mind. It is a spoof so maybe that doesn't count but it's very low budget, has about two laughs, young women in bikinis and a guest appearance by Los Straitjackets so there is enough to keep me watching.

Rotten acting, rizla-thin plot, shit robots, duff effects and inappropriate soundtrack... I give you Space Odyssey Transformers by Michael Bay!

Best worst film....

Almost every Michael Bay film.  They are so bad but so much eye candy and a rollercoaster for your senses.

Battleship really is a stinking pile of poo......but the scene where they're actually playing battleship for real ("It's a miss" etc) is pure genius....well actually it's not pure genius at all, but that must have been the scene that the entire movie is built around so I always imagine the thought process and the pitch that went from that little idea to an actual movie being made, that's the real genius of the film.

the kids were watching it and started shouting me to watch that scene. It's 'really, really, is this is what is happening here.' :-B Yes, both totally crap and completely engaging,not sure I could have managed the whole film though.

(I hope I've done the spoiler bit correct here just incase anyone wants to watch this turkey...

There's a brilliant bit near the end with all the crinkly old vets stand up and volunteer to take on the aliens, somehow making the floating museum of the USS Missouri sea worthy and armed in minutes.

Arachnoquake.

Fucking awesome that was.

Pacific Rim was awful and tremendous. So many nods to iconic films of my youth, all wrapped up in nonsense robots.

If not mentioned already, the Nicolas Cage remake of The Wicker Man is hilariously bad

I think Hot Tub Time Machine qualifies as the best worst film ever. It's so bad it's incredible.

That is actually OK and it did have the rather lovely Kimberley Davies in it, as well as Los  Straitjackets.

The Monster And The Beach Girls is far, far worse

Pretty much any film on Syfy.

Classics such as...

Sharktopus
Mega Shark vs Crocosaurus

Big-ass spider is fucking quality, well worth a watch as is sand sharks.

Sharktopus is brilliant. Pick of the SyFy shark films for me.

Filmed from Colin the zombies perspective.
Totally bonkers but strangely compelling.

It might even actually too good to be considered really bad be it is real B-movie genius.

I always felt they should have come up with more specific title though as all spiders have big arses.

Ooh, Don't Go Near The Park. Shockingly bad but addictive.
