Train Wreck Movies - Post your favorites!

  1. Imagine you are on business travel. It's very late, and you're travel weary, having caught a 6am flight for where you need to go and endured all the inconveniences of air travel in the 21st century.

    You are finally checked into your hotel, and you have to get up early the next day for the meeting. You have to get up earlier if you are across a time zone (like you're on Pacific time and have to get up at 7:30 am EDT.)

    A Train Wreck Movie is that horrible move which always seems to be on HBO or on the local cable channel when you should be asleep, but can't get there. You watch it in spite of yourself.

    My two favorite train wreck movies of all time are "Next of Kin" and "Fortress". What are yours?
     
  2. I'll nominate "The Wicker Man" with Nicholas Cage. It's so amazingly bad.

    The Hills Have Eyes. What a turd.
    Blair Witch Project 2 - you could almost hear them scratching their heads on how they were going to finish that thing.

    The Quick and The Dead. What a dog...the thing is, I've watched a bunch of times thinking it ought to be better than it is. So far it isn't.

    Oh... My... God. End the thread now, that's exactly what popped into my head. Sometimes my 10-year-old daughter and I watch it, laughing and shaking our heads in disbelief. When Nick Cage appears in the bear suit, it just doesn't get any better/worse. The very definition of Train Wreck.

    Hey, I didn't mean that literally... keep 'em comin'!
     
  9. In the meantime, let's just keep adding more of those ridiculously awesome quotes from "The Wicker Man". Like,

    "How'd it get burned?! How'd it get burned?! HOW'D IT GET BURNED, HOW'D IT GET BURNED?!?!?"

    Yeah, we watched that one at a bad movie party last year. One of my girlfriend's friends will have these every few months. Some drinks, some good food and then a pair of movies so bad they're hilarious, especially when given the "Mystery Science Theater 3000" treatment. Nicholas Cage punching that woman in the bear suit was the best part. Check it out here, at about 1:23 into the clip.

    Howard the Duck and Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot were others we watched and "enjoyed".

    The last Star Wars movie kind of train wrecked when Darth Vader pulled dramatic "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!".

    I'd say the last Star Wars movies wrecked when George Lucas thought, "maybe I should make three more".

    Repo Man. Awesome soundtrack, horrible piece of cinematography!
     
  20. "Christmas with the Kranks"

    I just watched this last weekend with my family and could not believe how bad it is. It only took about 5 minutes for me to realize that this was a poorly written movie. I kept watching it thinking that it had to get better given the main cast, Tim Allen, Jamie Lee Curtis and Dan Aykroyd, who can usually make a decent movie. But, it just got worse and worse.
