Gloriously bad movies.

I watched this an was completely blown away. This movie is absolutely hilarious. During some scenes I could not contain myself. All of the special effects are completely laughable and way below the standards of what could have been accomplished in 1989. Chirstopher Walken's frantic meltdowns are espeically funny. I won't get into too much detail about all the things I found amusing. But I would like to start a thread to list some great terrible movies for those of us who like to laugh at unintentionally funny movies. Everyone list your favorite bad movies:

Collsion Course-Jay Leno and Pat Morita,buddy cops!(I'm not kidding)

Communion-Enough said.

Battlefield Earth-Really stupid dialogue.

Jingle All The Way-Watching Arnold Schwarzenegger in this movie is like watching someone get killed, it's just painful.

R.Kelly's Trapped in the Closet-What a complete trainwreack. What's worse is that he takes the whole thing completely serious must be seen to be believed.

The Room-I don't suspect many of you have heard of this. However this is the Citizen Kane of godawful movies. Every aspect of this film is completely botched. It's mind blowing how bad this movie is. Words can hardly describe how bad it is, but I promise you will hardly stop laughing through out the film. For this reason the film has a huge cult following in California and the director/star/writer pretends it was intended as a comedy to save face.

I look forward to starting a discussion here and seeing some great(terrible)entries.

Some people just mock this movie and others like it to cover up their fears. Aliens are the most realistic "monsters" in the horror world, and everyone knows it.

Agreed, I loved this movie and agreed it was funny, but INTENTIONALLY.

Viewing it as the 'trippy' nature of the film, ultimately I thought it was brilliant.

Communion spanned MANY genres, including comedy.

His getting SO scared by the 13-year old girl and pulling out a gun was fantastically hilarious on a couple levels.

Plus THAT praying mantis costume WAS a pretty damn awesome horrifying costume.

Much more so than The Grays or the other guys. lol

To the OP, I agree Communion was so bad (in parts, I didn't find all of it bad) that it was great. One of my favourites. Haven't read all the posts yet, but in case no one has mentioned it, I'd like to add "Hotel Hell" (I believe that's the name of the movie).
