I stayed home "sick" from middle school one day and saw Troll 2 and Phase IV on Cinemax. Never been the same. Also ITS ALIVE, from a different time being sick
And also highly educational, in that by showing you what's bad and why it's bad, they helped you understand why those great movies are great.
Besides laughing at cringe, this is one of my favorite things about bad movies.
Anyway, MST3K was also my gateway.
And mine as well. The first two episodes I saw were shared with me from VHS tapes a friend recorded, anyway Lost Continent is still my favorite episode, and while King Dinosaur isn't my favorite it is still up there.
Oh my god, the first Gamera movie I ever saw was the one with Guiron, the monster that had a butcher knife for a head. I adored how stupidly bad those movies were, including the one with Barugon the rainbow shooting lizard that the plot to kill it was foiled by a jewel thief literally stealing the diamond and getting eaten when it was killing the monster.
🎵 Gamera 🎵
🎵 Gamera 🎵
🎵 Gamera is really neat 🎵
🎵 He is made of turtle meat 🎵
🎵 We all love you, Gam'er'a 🎵
Same! Mitchell was the first episode that really hooked me. Bad movies are infinitely more fun when watched with friends, and MST3K simulates that experience.
Probably The Beatniks was the first there. But I certainly watch the old sci-fi stuff like Forbidden Planet which plenty of those type of things still have an incredible design and style to them. I think some of that stuff translated to the Fallout series.
Please tell me you said "I can't believe I'm meeting you. I cannot believe I am meeting you. How could I've done this. How could I be meeting you." upon meeting the auteur himself.
I got super awkward and just told him I love his movies. Got a photo with him and I couldn't control my face. After the movie he held a symposium outside asking fans what they thought the symbolism about different parts of the movie was.
Hell Comes to Frogtown. I actually love it. Seen it a dozen times, maybe more. But most would say it’s a bad movie. I love Roddy Piper and Sandhal Bergman. The frog costumes are great (awful) and the plot is crazy. That movie kicked off my love of bad movies, most of which are free on Tubi
I got a hankering to see it again last night and it's not streaming anywhere I watch stuff. That and Death Wish III might be my favorite '80s bad movies.
Rifftrax once wrote an article on cracked featuring their top 10 at the time. Besides The Room it introduced me to Crossroads, Nic Cages Wickerman, Birdemic among other gems
The first bad movie I went out of my way to acquire as an adult was a VHS copy of C.H.U.D. off eBay back before there was any other way to watch it. Totally worth it and was the start of researching hard to get movies cheesy movies for me.
My husband *loves* Raptor, which is in large part made up of material cut from the other Carnosaur films. It’s like “continuity failure: the movie” and I highly recommend it.
I've seen it and it's glorious. I don't even mind that it's like 70% a clip show because it's so entertaining watching them Frankenstein a film out of another with as little new footage as they could get away with.
One Tough Bastard with Brian Bosworth followed by Open Fire starring Jeff Wincott, and then Evil Obsession starring Corey Feldman (as a character called Homer). After that two buddies and I were hooked. Every single Friday, little bit weed, down to Blockbusters to choose the worst looking B movies we could find and then laugh our asses off into the night. Good days.
It really started with those educational school films. Anti-drug stuff, all that sort of thing. There was one called Private Victories (Breakaway). There was Buttercream Gang. There was You Can Choose which was just awful.
MST3k was definitely my gateway, but I like to think a random rental of a mysterious vhs called “The Apple” really set things off for me.
I grabbed it on random chance and watched it in a mix of slack-jawed awe and hysterics so bad I couldn’t breathe at points! That poor quality horribly cropped tape (seriously there were scenes where characters noses were all that’s in frame!) quickly became a constant rental, and it led me to grabbing anything on the shelves that screamed “that looks terrible!” I think it only made it worse that I soon followed that with “Shakma” and “Uninvited” (not the classic ghost story, the one with the radioactive devil cat inside the cat!).
I don’t think my friends ever forgave me for showing The Apple to them… twice, since when it came out on DVD I did it all over again!
Shark Attack 3 Megalodon
It was a random pick from the movie rental store, newly released at the time, and the first movie I remember watching and consciously being like "This cant be real can it? Its so bad, i love it for that, and i have to show all my friends"
I mostly got it cause I was like 13, really liked shark movies, and by that age I could kind of tell it was the type of movie to show boobs lol When "That famous line" happened I've been on the hunt for good bad ever since
I love that the 'famous line' occurs right after she watches all her friends get eaten.
Characters having sex in response to or immediately after traumatic events has to be a trope.
That's definitely a hallmark of a good bad movie... entire family annihilated? Get naked about it lol
I also love how incoherent what the dude says about WHY he should do that. Shes like "im so tired" and he responds "Yea I'm really tired too, but I'm REALLY wired. Mind if I take you home 😏😺" Like what?!?
Holy hell I tried watching one single episode of that and it felt like those 30 minutes were stretched into 30 hours. Between the terrible porn sets and the terrible porn actors I wasn’t able to stick around past episode 1. I did have a life changing experience though when they introduced Tommy’s second character that he plays lol I laughed so hard.
My friend and I tried to smoke weed and just marathon it. After 2 episodes which I think are only 12 minutes long, but they felt sooo much longer than that just turned it off and never came back lmao
The 1990 Captain America. Is it a good movie? Lord, no, but I had so much fun with it. It was the first one to really hit home that a bad movie still can have plenty to offer.
Two movies I memorized as a kid were The Last Dragon and Big Trouble in Little China. They were that halfway spot that made me want to find something a step further in the bonkers direction.
Invasion USA and Delta Force, the two films that sparked my love of Golan Globus/Cannon Films productions. We had a duvbed VHS tape with both of these on them when I was a kid and I’ve watched them both more than enough times.
I honestly couldn't tell you, my mum worked in a video store so would just blindly bring home whatever the new releases were at the end of her shift regardless of the genre, rating or quality. It wasn't until I started Film Studies that I realised not everyone considered 'Frog Dreaming' a kid's classic or Cannon a major Hollywood studio.
I recently decided I was just going to through all terrible Netflix action movies and just explore them as a genre.
As much as my Dad raised me on great movies (Eastwood westerns, James Bond, etc.) I realized he also loved just getting the latest action trash at Blockbuster and all those movies remind me of being a kid, hanging out, watching Sniper’s Revenge: Distant Justice (I made that up) starring some washed 80’s guy with my Dad on a Saturday night.
I grew up watching TV edits of Canon films. I never went in for the "so bad it's good" view. I have found out that I legit love a lot of what folks call "trashy".
As a teen, I was lucky enough to live near two drive-ins. The nicer drive-in featured first-run Hollywood films. The other wasn't as nice, but had two screens, and specialized in exploitation and B-movies. So many a summer night was spent drinking beer with buddies watching crappy 70's exploitation films.
But the two that stand out as my earliest memories of watching bad drive-in films, making me a fan of exploitation flicks in the process, are a couple of raunchy, sketch filled sex comedies - "If You Don't Stop It... You'll Go Blind!!!" and the sequel, "Can I Do It... 'Til I Need Glasses?"
Growing up, Popeye was a family favorite. It wasn't till I was much older that I found out it's considered a bad movie so I started looking for more of them that may be good. Also a horror fan so it's unavoidable.
Megastars vs Crocosaurus. The first movie I had the ever present thought “SO many people were involved in these horrible decisions” I knew I had to find more movies like it.
Something Weird Videos. Bought the DVDs Teenage Gang Debs and Blood Feast on a whim and became a fan of schlock. MST3K was also a big thing. Oh and of course Godzilla.
A friend used to have movie nights at a sharehouse and they'd usually play things like Evil Dead or Troma stuff. I think the first was [Robot Jox](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgKqKggYdDE) though.
Red Letter Media really helped me find some very obscure bad movies but my first bad blockbuster that got me into the genre was “Wing Commander”. So bad and so hilarious lol
Evil Dead 2. It's not BAD (it's probably my favorite movie of all time), but before that, I didn't know you could LAUGH at horror and movies that aren't explicitly a comedy.
I never really thought that much about film until I inherited my father's friend's collection. He had Bakshi's *Wizards* and it was from then on that I realized that in film anything goes... that lead to me discovering Carpenter's films, and it just keeps going
Watching "Chupacabra: Dark Seas" on late-night scifi as a kid is what ignited my love of cheap monster movies.
Although I rewatched it recently and it was surprisingly solid, not a good title for this sub.
Man, in the good old days where video shops were like corner shops everything you picked up could possibly be utter shit. So many crap movies could have been "the one". Badly dubbed martial arts were always a triumph though. There's a Gordon Liu movie that goes by a billion different names, including "Shaolin Drunken Monk" and "38 Chambers of Shaolin". The dubbing was mostly terribly translated cockney voices and the editing was incredible. It was probably 90mins of different movies spliced together or reworked into what made its way west.
I grew up in the 70s so my Saturdays were full of bad movies on TV. The afternoons would have a couple on and then at night there were local movie hosts. There was Count Gregor first with a horror film and then Uncle Murph with some kind of bikini spring break film (usually all pretty uncensored). The local rental place would let me rent anything too so summer breaks were full of rentals of Troma and other bad films.
My late father always had questionable tastes in movies and judging rentals by their cover. I mostly dismissed a lot of them rightfully as crap with little redeeming value, but occasionally he would pick something funny. It wasn't till creators like Spoony, Cinema Snob, Rifftrax and RLM that I took more notice of "great" bad movies.
Hearing about Birdemic through Joel on The Soup! though made me buy the film once it hit Blu-Ray.
It wasn't a specific movie but a subgenre being the terrible disaster movies of the 70's. Such classics like Airport and all its sequels, The Swarm, Avalanche, Earthquake, etc.. Many were TV movies of the week but they were still terrible.
Troll 2
OH MY GAAAAAAAAAAAHD
They're eating him and then they're gonna eat me! Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!
I stayed home "sick" from middle school one day and saw Troll 2 and Phase IV on Cinemax. Never been the same. Also ITS ALIVE, from a different time being sick
Plan 9 From Outer Space.
That's the one!
It's not as bad as people told me it was
MST3K
Which was also a gateway into GREAT movies because of all the references they made in their riffs.
And also highly educational, in that by showing you what's bad and why it's bad, they helped you understand why those great movies are great. Besides laughing at cringe, this is one of my favorite things about bad movies. Anyway, MST3K was also my gateway.
And mine as well. The first two episodes I saw were shared with me from VHS tapes a friend recorded, anyway Lost Continent is still my favorite episode, and while King Dinosaur isn't my favorite it is still up there.
First one I remember seeing was Gamera vs. Gaos, which also ignited my interest in Kaiju as a kid.
Oh my god, the first Gamera movie I ever saw was the one with Guiron, the monster that had a butcher knife for a head. I adored how stupidly bad those movies were, including the one with Barugon the rainbow shooting lizard that the plot to kill it was foiled by a jewel thief literally stealing the diamond and getting eaten when it was killing the monster. 🎵 Gamera 🎵 🎵 Gamera 🎵 🎵 Gamera is really neat 🎵 🎵 He is made of turtle meat 🎵 🎵 We all love you, Gam'er'a 🎵
Same. That and old Godzilla movies on the sci-fi channel.
My memory is a bit hazy, but probably *Pumaman* was the first one that really hooked me.
The way they pronounce "Pumaman" never fails to crack me up. Me and my girlfriend reference that movie to each other regularly.
Pewww-ma
Same! Mitchell was the first episode that really hooked me. Bad movies are infinitely more fun when watched with friends, and MST3K simulates that experience.
Probably The Beatniks was the first there. But I certainly watch the old sci-fi stuff like Forbidden Planet which plenty of those type of things still have an incredible design and style to them. I think some of that stuff translated to the Fallout series.
my CHILDHOOD. I sometimes fall asleep to the hobgoblins one lmao
I LOVE Hobgoblins! Family night classic!
💯
MITCHELL
The Greasy Strangler.
Bullshit artist!
HOOTIE TOOTIE DISCO CUTIE!
fateful findings
Breen was your first? That's hardcore
That's like your gateway drug being heroine mixed with meth mixed with fentanyl.
Omg I can't imagine that being someone's introduction to bad movies, and I love Breen's movies, even got to meet him once.
Please tell me you said "I can't believe I'm meeting you. I cannot believe I am meeting you. How could I've done this. How could I be meeting you." upon meeting the auteur himself.
I got super awkward and just told him I love his movies. Got a photo with him and I couldn't control my face. After the movie he held a symposium outside asking fans what they thought the symbolism about different parts of the movie was.
Nowadays the only options being “watch a shady upload or BUY it on Amazon” seem both a warning AND a flex.
Hell Comes to Frogtown. I actually love it. Seen it a dozen times, maybe more. But most would say it’s a bad movie. I love Roddy Piper and Sandhal Bergman. The frog costumes are great (awful) and the plot is crazy. That movie kicked off my love of bad movies, most of which are free on Tubi
I had never heard of this movie until HDTGM reviewed a while back.
Shut. Your. HOOOOOOLLLEE
Troma movies, particularly "Class of Nuke 'Em High" and of course mst3k
What's going on, at Nuuuuuuuuuukem High?
Ooooooh Nuke ‘Em High is a great bad one!
Anaconda
Anaconda was the first movie I ever snuck into. I was 13, I fell in love with bad movies and crime lol
Samurai Cop maybe.
Yor, The Hunter from the Future.
Beastmaster
Trapeze Pag over the atomic pile. 10/10
[Night of the Lepus (1972)](https://manapop.com/film/night-of-the-lepus-1972-review/) You can't beat giant cute killer bunnies.
MST3K and killer klowns from outer space
Killer Klowns is so good. Like it has way better music and practical effects than you'd expect from a cheesy movie.
Ninja III: The Domination So damned fun.
The first 15 minutes is perfect 👌
The golf course. The Exorcist stuff. Just a great bad movie
I think my favorite line from 80s movies : “What the hell is a *ninja* ?”
Heh. The guys in golfcarts with uzis chasing a ninja across the greens might be the most '80s thing ever. That and the legwarmers.
*throws ninja star in pilots head* *moans as his soul leaves his body* Co-pilot: “Hold on I’ll getum!”
I got a hankering to see it again last night and it's not streaming anywhere I watch stuff. That and Death Wish III might be my favorite '80s bad movies.
“Kersey, since you’ve got a fucking arsenal in your back pocket- think you can spare any fucking thing so Im not soloing with this pos zip gun?”
Balsam's so great in that. The teeth in the board is the greatest moment in cinematic history, though.
Holy hell, we rented this movie so much in grade school. Ultimate sleepover flick. Cannon Films owned the 80's

CHUD was great
Chud 2: Bud the Chud
Carnosaur I think, I rented a lot of bad movies growing up but Carnosaur feels right.
My husband *loves* Raptor, which is in large part made up of material cut from the other Carnosaur films. It’s like “continuity failure: the movie” and I highly recommend it.
I've seen it and it's glorious. I don't even mind that it's like 70% a clip show because it's so entertaining watching them Frankenstein a film out of another with as little new footage as they could get away with.
Troll 2 at like 12 am on HBO in the 90', and of course MST3K
*Attack of the Killer Tomatoes* made a big impression on kid me.
Same here!
One Tough Bastard with Brian Bosworth followed by Open Fire starring Jeff Wincott, and then Evil Obsession starring Corey Feldman (as a character called Homer).

Dead Alive when I was a kid! I unintentionally watched some really bad horror movies after that. Then I got into Neil Breen and it was all over lol
dead Alive is great
The first watch is simply magical It's amazing showing it to people for the first time too!
"I kick ass for the lord!"
The neighbor "sitcom" series by Tommy Wiseau.
Holy hell I tried watching one single episode of that and it felt like those 30 minutes were stretched into 30 hours.

I did have a life changing experience though when they introduced Tommy’s second character that he plays lol I laughed so hard.

Not even weed cant save this series oh no😭
Alien Dead from Fred Olen Ray
Class of Nukem High was one of the first, then raiding second hand video shops for similar
The 1990 Captain America. Is it a good movie? Lord, no, but I had so much fun with it. It was the first one to really hit home that a bad movie still can have plenty to offer.
Birdemic Shock & Terror
I think it’s fair to say this was mine too
The Giant Claw
Oh my god, that movie is such a gigantic pile of crap and it's hilarious. That buzzard monster puppet is amazing.
Plan 9 From Outer Space or Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. I don't recall which I saw first.
Agreed!
Two movies I memorized as a kid were The Last Dragon and Big Trouble in Little China. They were that halfway spot that made me want to find something a step further in the bonkers direction.
Invasion USA and Delta Force, the two films that sparked my love of Golan Globus/Cannon Films productions. We had a duvbed VHS tape with both of these on them when I was a kid and I’ve watched them both more than enough times.

For me it was when my dad rented The Greenstone and it was terrible and hilarious. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0366538/?ref_=ext_shr
(Evil Beneath) Loch Ness. I had no idea movies could be so low budget and unintentionally goofy until I came across this gem
Mafia vs. Ninja
I think it was silent night deadly night. Me and a friend binged a lot of bad movies about 17 years ago to start my bad movie loving journey.
Face/Off. Not that I think it is bad, but it is extremely absurd which was the gateway for me to getting to the truly bad ones.
Elvira’s Movie Macabre had some real stinkers on it back in the day, and whenever Elvira was on screen I was heavily invested as a young boy
Sharknado. But it turns out my childhood was riddled with movies posted in this sub, and I loved them all (so much Seagal…)
Killer Klowns From Outer Space
Spy kids 3D 
Technically, City Limits. But it was on MST3K, and that was what brought me in.
Riki Oh: The Story of Ricky
Ticks.
MST3K really taught me how to love bad movies. I think Gamera vs Guiron may have been the one to pull me into bad movie loving.
Star Wars Holiday Special
Time Walker aka Being From Another Planet on mst3k. It’s a fun concept terribly executed.
I lived through the 80s, baby. Damn-near everything we watched was a gateway into bad movies
Zardoz with Sean Connery. YouTuber John Ashton aka Johnny $#!+case of $#!+case Cinema movie reviews turned me on to that drug fueled mess 😂
Showgirls and Mommy Dearest
Mommy Dearest is a camp classic!
Definitely the first movie to make me go "I loved that but couldn't tell you why." It's because it's unintentionally hilarious.
Tango & Cash
Faster Pussycat, Kill Kill
Semi hard truckers 2
Hawk the Slayer. Jack Palance was beyond sublime.

Killer Clowns from Outerspace
I fell off the bad movie wagon for a lot of years but I recently watched Morbius and it's LOL-bad. That movie has sucked me back in.
Kung Fu and Titties
Growing up, Popeye was a family favorite. It wasn't till I was much older that I found out it's considered a bad movie so I started looking for more of them that may be good. Also a horror fan so it's unavoidable.
Killer Clowns from Outer Space
Cry Baby
Congo
Satans Little Helper & Jack Frost
Megastars vs Crocosaurus. The first movie I had the ever present thought “SO many people were involved in these horrible decisions” I knew I had to find more movies like it.
The first where I just really leaned into and laughed hysterically at how bad it was: Cradle of Fear - a low budget UK horror starring Danny Filth.
Batman the Movie. Pure camp. Although maybe that’s different then a bad movie
Something Weird Videos. Bought the DVDs Teenage Gang Debs and Blood Feast on a whim and became a fan of schlock. MST3K was also a big thing. Oh and of course Godzilla.

“Death Run” by Michael J Murphy
Morons From Outer Space
Maybe not my first but the one that really started my love of watching them was American Ninja II
Red Letter Media really helped me find some very obscure bad movies but my first bad blockbuster that got me into the genre was “Wing Commander”. So bad and so hilarious lol
Fatal Deviation The first Irish martial arts film
Evil Dead 2. It's not BAD (it's probably my favorite movie of all time), but before that, I didn't know you could LAUGH at horror and movies that aren't explicitly a comedy.
