5 Bad Movies That Everyone Loved for Some Reason

1. Scream

It was released in 1996 and was one of the first slasher movies. The movie goes from one "jump scare" to the other and it makes you laugh instead of scaring you. Director Wes Craven was fully aware of that, as he said during an interview "the reason young people go to the theater is because they already have fears and need a place to bring all this stuff out".

It became a teenagers favourite mostly because of the mask I guess.

2. Demolition Man

"R" rated satirical sci-fi action movie with Stallone as John Spartan and a yellow haired Wesley Snipes as the bad guy, Simon Phoenix. That thing about language violation always cracks me up. By the way, I still have no idea what's the story with the three sea shells. Someone please explain it to me.


3. Commando

This one must have been totally hilarious even by the standards of that time.

Arnie can make you laugh only with his accent but here you also have him as a one man army gunning down hundreds of Latino terrorists, with fake moustaches, to save his daughter. I'm giving you the epic gear up scene.

4. Judge Dredd

Another one with Stallone, this time in the role of the famous comic book hero Judge Dredd.
Embarassingly awkward performances and dialogues. and yet I still enjoy watching it. Especially the final scene with Stallone full of blood and scars, worn out from the fight and just like this he puts on his armour and goes out to the streets the hunt criminals. Typical macho man.

5. Heartbreak Ridge

This is my favourite. Clint Eastwood portraying Sgt. Highway, a USMC veteran of the Korean and Vietnam wars. During his last months in service before mandatory retirement he witnesses the pussyfication of the new-fashioned Marine Corps and clashes with his superiors in order to get his platoon in shape. Along with his sidekick Stitch Jones and too much profanity to count, Clint Eastwood gives us one of his richest performances. I can't find another movie with more memorable lines and funny moments than this one.


So that's it. I know I can add more to the list. but I'll leave that to you. Give me your favourite "so bad so good" movie.
