It's a Bad Movie, But It Was Fun to Watch Anyway


There are three types of interesting movies. First, there are great movies that are great fun to watch. Second, there are great movies that are not particularly enjoyable to sit through. Finally there are those movies that are bad movies, but for some reason are still quite fun to watch. Using some Q. Tarantino related films as examples, "Pulp Fiction" is the first type, "Resevoir Dogs" is in the second group and "From Dusk to Dawn" is in the third. What puts a film in the bad but fun category can be anything - a great performance, a single great scene, breath taking cinematograpghy etc. For instance, in "FD2D" I love the opening sequence. That plus a wild soundtrack makes for enjoyable viewing experience.

I'm interested in hearing about what others think are examples of bad but fun films. Please explain specifically what you thought made an otherwise bad movie still fun to watch.

I'd like to nominate "Congo". It's beyond dopey, but watching first class actors (Tim Curry, Delroy Lindo, Joe Pants and Ernie Hudson) ham it up to the max is a joy. I particularly like the goofey accents.

Memento was the worst movie I've ever seen. Pulp fiction was the second worst. Then I saw Reservoir Dogs. It's now the worst movie I've ever seen.
From Dusk to Dawn is one of my favorite movies. I'd rather see Selma Hayek dance with a snake than see Uma Thurman throw up anyday. What a waste of Uma Thurman's talents..
Call me weird, I like movies with good looking females doing things I'd like to be included in!
