Carnival of Souls (1962) is actually pretty good.

I had the “pleasure” of watching Hercules Goes Bananas, Arnold Swartzenagers first movie which was released under different titles and in many versions his dialog was dubbed over. Horrible.

Thought that one was entertaining in a campy way, which I think was the intention.

I think a lot of movies that were considered bad in its day have fun campy vibes now, Plan 9, Attack or the Killer Tomatoes, The Room, etc.

Worst movies I have ever seen in the theater?

HIGHLANDER 2. My date and I lasted about 20 minutes before we walked out.

RED HEAT. I don't know how an Ahnuld movie could be boring, but this one was. I actually fell asleep.

NOMADS. Supposedly a horror flick, starring Pierce Brosnan. It has a great movie poster. But the movie itself is a snoozefest. Another one where I actually fell asleep.
To each his own.

I agree that there are such things as 'great bad movies' but, IMO, Maximum Overdrive isn't one of them.

I know a few who liked that movie also. I just didn't mainly because those who liked it raved about it. Then I saw it......

Wicker Park is the worst movie I've ever seen. I wish I had walked out.

Total Recall (the original) was pretty bad.

(Then I read the book, and by the end of the first paragraph was already going, "Oh, that's why.")

Bubba Ho-Tep. You've likely never heard of it but if you saw it -- my condolences.
