Pay tribute to two of the best "worst movies of all time"!

So there's a newish DTV channel called "This" that plays old movies that nobody has rented from the day they came out on Betamax.

Recently they have aired two of the most awe-inspiring godawful movies ever made: "Hercules", starring Lou Ferrigno, and "Dungeon Master" starring Richard Moll.

Let us all bow before these wondrous creations! Anyone else watched them recently?

I'm ashamed to admit that I went to see that in the theater back in '83. Even at 13, I realized that was $2.50* and 90 min. I would never get back.


(matinee price at the time..)

I just watched a 2008 remake of Journey To The Center Of The Earth starring Greg Evigan on the Syfy Channel. Boy, what a stinker that is too.

There is a movie so bad that I can't even remember the name of it, it was about this cop who goes to sleep and when he wakes up, everyone is gone, basically this dude is just running around trying to figure out what happened, omg it was awful, could not even finish it.

I like watching those old horrible movies, but it's even better when you've got Joel or Mike, Tom Servo, and Crow riffing over them (Mystery Science Theater 3000).

Sounds like they'll be airing:

Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (without the MST3K commentary)
Night of the Lepus (starring DeForest Kelley pre Star Trek)
and Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death.

Worst movie I've ever seen is Pushing Tin. Had a great cast though.

My gf would kill you. She loves schlocky moives, as such is the entire Troma videography (she owns most of them). Lloyd Kaufman FTMFW!

Bong, I watched an incredibly horrible movie on "This" (channel 5-2 over here) a few weeks ago called The Perfect Match. It was about two "mushes" who were really bad at dating and couldnt stop lying to each other, only to realize that they were perfect for each other (I assume, as I turned it off about 10 min. before it ended).

I thought 'Eyes Wide Shut' was one of most awful movies I ever saw, even in spite seeing Nicole Kidman's shapely bare bum.

Do you mean Killer Klowns From Outer Space? That movie was SO bad it came back around to good! Same with Amazon Women on the Moon, which I actually have on VHS.

The only movie I ever walked out of was Humoungous, an absolutely awful slasher film from back in 1982. I saw it with a couple of friends of mine and, besides us, there was ONE other guy in the theater. We left about halfway through and left him there by himself.
