At the suggestion of HeroHog, here is the APS cult classic film thread. Tell us your favorite film which never qualified for an Oscar nomination, is pretty bad but has good parts, or is just so bad it's awesome. Two favorites of mine:
Lone Wolf McQuade. Chuck Norris as Bad-ass Texas Ranger vs. gun runner David Carradine. Climax is a much anticipated martial arts battle between the two. Key bad points...a dwarf bad guy, the death of Chuck's pet wolf, and some really bad acting.
Wanted Dead or Alive. Rutger Hauer as ex-special agent turned bounty hunter vs. Gene Simmons as the Arabic terrorist. Highlight...a cutdown 12 gauge hidden in a modified c child seat, and fun with grenades.

The Mariachi Trilogy
Poor to middlin' acting, hot women, good music and guns, lots of guns. ;)

I've never actually watched it.
I will nominate Mean Guns, just because it is little-known, and not all that good, but I watch it from time to time.
Out of Sight and Payback are in a slightly different category, since they are pretty good flicks, but rarely talked about.

Sorry, Office Space is Cult Hall of Fame, as it's too good, and gets better as I get more exposure to the work world...

Oh, I didn't catch that it had to be a bad movie. Nevermind Napoleon Dynamite then.

Great movie. I don't recommend the directors cut. There are some extra scenes that don't fit with the overall movie.

"Yessir, the check is in the mail."

Caught the last half of Tremors: Bloodline yesterday. A worthy member of the franchise.
If we're looking for total gaggers... C.H.U.D. or how about The lair of the white worm.

The Tremors series was pretty much "great" as was the "Trinity" western series with Terence Hill!

Hey, I misread the thread title, but not as bad as you.
The thread you are looking for would be titled something like, "Contemporary Prophetic Works."

"The Gods Must Be Crazy" was pretty good and deserves to be here IMHO.

Okay you guys, make up your minds. Is it only crappy cult movies (i.e. MST3K fodder) as the OP states, or good cult movies as well?

This is APS. Eventually there will be thread drift and a "discussion" about cornbread.

I'm watching an anime series right now that was made to be a serious scary/spooky series but was a total flop in the original Japanese version and when they went to dub it to English, they were allowed to "do whatever they wanted as long as the dialog fit the animation" and it came out as a hilarious comedy series! A bit raunchy but good for more than a few giggles, it has become an anime cult classic, "Ghost Stories," the English Dub (http://kissanime.to/Anime/Ghost-Stories-Dub).

The Prequels to Army of Darkness were pretty good/bad/horrible/hilarious
Evil Dead & Evil Dead 2.
Short version. Evil Dead was a low (LOW) budget horror flick. Came out so bad it was almost comedic. So producers said, "hrm....." and turned the suck up to 11, cranked out a totally make fun of itself remake called (wait for it) Evil Dead 2.

Didn't see it but maybe someone beat me to it. Killer Klowns from Outer Space.

I know what you mean. It was the '90s. I was young and impressionable. She was cute, and approachable.

The wife and I are inaugurating a new St. Patrick's Day tradition, involving the Eddie Griffin film Irish Jam, and Irish Jam bars. The bars, sadly, do not contain jam, but do contain Chocolate Lucky Charms and marshmallow.
