Name your favorite crappy movie!

Yeah, that was a stinker. I didn't see it until cable, I thought it would turn out at first to be like what happened with another Steve Martin movie "Pennies from Heaven" (which was a great movie, it just bombed at the box office because it was 1981 and people wanted to see Steve Martin with bunny ears and an arrow through his head and not in a film like that.)

But no, "Mixed Muts" was just bad..

this is the remake of a french comedy classic called Le Pere Noel est une ordure (translates more or less to Santa Claus is a bastard). The french original IS a great comedy that pretty much every french person knows quotes from and is shown around xmas every year since its release (in the early 80's). The remake though, yes, is ****.

Reading this whole thread i think some of you can't make the difference between an actual ****** movie and a tongue in cheek, self-aware "******" movie .

Starship Troopers is Paul Verhoeven, he knew what he was doing, he willingly cast ****** soap actors in it (most of who didnt get the joke i believe which makes it even better)

Evil dead is not a ****** movie, Raimi knew what he was doing.

Escape from New York is not a ****** movie, again, Carpenter was raised on 50's b movies. Escape from new york, Big trouble in little china (one of my childhood classic) or even They live! might seem terrible, but they were corny on purpose.

Same for Bubba Ho Tep it's aware that it's a b movie and having fun with it.

The plot seems familiar.

Who were the stars?

This is a tough crowd.

Some of my favorites are in this thread.

IMO, the Dina Meyer shower scene alone keeps "Starship Troopers" from being a "crappy
movie" no matter how hard the director tried to mangle the spirit of the book... :hiding:

I'll reiterate my earlier nominations of :

Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension
and
Rustler's Rhapsody

And I'll support some of the other suggestions posted here, including :

Remo Williams:The Adventure Begins
Bubba Ho-Tep
I'm Gonna Git You Sucka!
and
UHF

But I'll have to add the whole Cornetto Trilogy as one suggestion. I pretty much dig anything that has Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.

Agreed. There's a difference. The master lately of this style would be Tarantino and he gets the budgets to boot. Great dialogue from him.

Deathproof as example.

Although starship troopers lost me quickly after the shower scene. Just didn't quite come together.

Napoleon Dynamite slays me. Awe inspiring weirdness.
