About 15 years ago this movie was all the rage. A low budget film that had it all, a must see! The fiancee and I went to the Lowes 12 Oaks theater in Atlanta to see it, had to wait in line 45 minutes. What a pile of bullshit! Stupid young people lost in the woods, didn 't have the brains to follow a creek down to civilization, helplessly waited around while, one by one, they got picked off by the witch.
Watched an hour of this bullshit and walked out of the theater, the other patrons were looking at us like we were insane for leaving this artistic masterpiece.
Tron, Footloose, Bikerboys, Drumline, the last two in desperation during my deployment to Iraq in 2003 so any movie was giving a chance. Also I watched the movie convoy oh boy as a kid best movie ever now days it’s just horrible.

Footloose was awesome because a lot of it was filmed in my hometown.
Back during college and after I was sure I wanted to get into film. Hanging out with film types in Cincinnati, one of the big past times was having film parties. In those days it meant owning or renting a 16mm projector. Bad movies were good. Horrible movies were even better.
Plan 9 was a perennial favorite. However, there are worse in the Ed Woods catalog.
What used to really send me up the wall were dubbed Italian bombs. One particularly bad stinker was
It was a vehicle for Adriano Celentano with Anthony Quinn as a co-star. Adriano Celentano won Best Actor for this. IT was absolutely excremental.
For those of you who don't know Adriano Celentano, he's this guy:
Italians kids growing up in the 60s an 70's thought he was awesome-- kind of like a mix of Elvis and Jerry Lewis. The song Prisencolinensinainciusol is supposed to be what English sounds like to Italians.
Don't know if it's because of my Italian genetics but I couldn't stop watching that clip. Kind of like Steve Martin in The Jerk when he first heard big band music on the radio.

I spent an afternoon one Sunday watching Adriano Celentano Youtubes. Mostly, I was trying to figure out what it was that Italians saw in him. He's was a pop god over there. He's still commanding big TV specials, singing his big 70's hit, Prisencolinensinainciusol. The stuff on Youtube is pretty trippy.
However, back to bad cinema. Nobody has mentioned the Ruskies. There's really nothing quite as rancid as Russian Science Fiction movies. This one looks like a real stinker, but there are far worse if you dig on Youtube:
This one has really good production values. Ivan likes to throw gobs of money into big Space Operas that have plots that go nowhere-- kind of like the Soviet Moon Program.
"An evil gunslinging midget comes to terrorize the good little people of Tiny Town..The townspeople organize to defeat him and zany antics ensue.."
"Using a conventional Western story with an all dwarf cast, the filmmakers were able to showcase gags such as cowboys entering the local saloon by walking under the swinging doors, climbing into cupboards to retrieve items, and midget cowboys galloping around on Shetland ponies while roping calves."
The movie is available on You Tube, if you dare. Hilarious after a couple stiff highballs, and totally not PC.
