Something tells me that this has gone on longer than it probably should have. I never even really liked Power Rangers as a kid, I just thought the movie was awesome.

You know it's funny, I never even saw the Power Rangers movie. I was a big fan of the show as a kid, but I think I might have just been about the age to be growing out of Power Rangers by the time the movie came out. Though I do remember playing the SNES game based on the movie.
Alright, let's get back on track here, maybe, I dunno. How about The Last Unicorn? Oddly enough, I myself hated the movie as a kid - maybe because my sisters watched it over and over again, and I kinda had the prejudice of "Oh, it's unicorns and love and shit, that's all too girly for me." Growing up, though, I came to love it, even though most people I know think the thing is just ridiculous. Plus, it had a damn nice (in my opinion) soundtrack by America. Oh, and super bonus points for having a young Jeff Bridges.

One of my favorites is a little 80's movie called "Down Twisted." It's a low budget production so I think it qualifies, however I don't think I know anyone who has watched it. It features Charles Rocket and Bond Girl Carrie Lowell. An IMDB review has a better plot outline, but it's basically about a heist gone wrong and a normal girl gets mixed up in it because they think she is the key to fixing it. My favorite scene is at the climax when the thieves finally collect their money. Linda Kerridge is trying to walk out of the airport inconspicuously, while the of money stuffed into her blouse keeps falling out, leaving a trail behind her. This and a few other things in the movie make it a personal favorite of mine, but I can tell the production quality is low, the plot drags a bit in certain areas, and the dialogue can get a little cheesy which is why I give it the "bad movie" rating.

Anyone else besides me enjoy the movie Galaxy Quest? I have some friends who can't stand it for some reason but it's another one of those movies that I have to watch if it's on.
I friggin' love Galaxy Quest, but then, I've never known anyone who thought it was a bad movie. Actually, it's one of those movies that's really kinda grown on me - not that I didn't enjoy it the first time I saw it, but I wasn't super-familiar with Star Trek when I did (I mean, I watched it when it was on and whatnot but I wasn't like a diehard fan at the time), and I certainly wasn't really aware of all of the behind-the-scenes drama and whatnot they were spoofing.

I loved Galaxy Quest. I haven't seen it in ages, though, so who knows if I'd still enjoy it today.
My favorite bad movie has gotta be the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. No one I know enjoyed that movie, but I loved it.
Aww heck, I hadn't even thought about the Hitchhiker's Guide movie in ages. I should watch that again sometime. I'll definitely agree that it hardly compares to the books, the radio show, or the TV show, and it relied way too much on slapstick, but it was enjoyable for what it was.

I am deeply offended. Galaxy Quest was far from bad. My god, man! The Hitchhiker's Guide... movie, however, completely bad. It was funny. Though, not as much as it wanted to be. I enjoyed it but I have never been tempted to give it another go.
I think I only enjoyed the Power Rangers movie as an adult because of nostalgia. It was terrible. The only redeeming trait was Ivan Ooze. Even an awesomely bad villain can't make up for a garbage film.
My favorite bad fllm right now? (This is going to piss off some people) Terminator 2. I just recently rewatched this after not seeing it since i was either an early teen or a preteen. After watching the first and being blown away by how much better it was than I could have appreciated as a kid I started T2 with high hopes. It is amazingly bad for such a praised movie. The only thing that kept me watching was the Uber-Nostalgia. I will admit it is damn cool, but really a bad movie. How was it bad?
The acting: The Terminator was AHHHHNold best role. Why? It required absolutely no acting. All he had to do was look emotionless, intimidating, and awesome! The opening scene of T2 lets you know right away they ruined it. Instead of a killing machine we now have a goofy machobot. All the actors in the film seem to realize that despite the fact that their characters are in serious situations they are in a brainless action film and you cannot take any of them seriously. Not a single character in the film seems to grow at all besides Sarah Conner who seems to be regressing to a child from the badass heroine we got at first.
The Cool Villain: It's okay though, right? Arnold's Terminator getting the pop icon treatment is fine because we have a new monster, and this guy is actually a good actor! Of course, he gets no chance to act! He does his best cold killer routine in the beginning, which is somewhat convincing AND THEN HE DISAPPEARS! for the whole middle of the movie! WTF? The best part of his (I forgot his name and I dont want to look it up) terminator was when he was creepy. If only he was given a chance to be more than an obligatory obstacle.
The Plot: It isn't that bad so much as it is completely expected. Everything happens just as a brainless action movie should.
