What Makes A Movie So Bad It's Good?

Фильм және анимация

Shot in a Swedish sauna.
What makes a movie so good it’s bad? Well I think I should start by saying the mythical movie that is utterly dreadful but entirely enjoyable is really a very rare beast.
There are hundreds of movies that are ‘so bad they’re good’ but I’d argue that these are mostly just terrible movies.
Films Mentioned:
Plan 9 From Outer Space (1959), Santa Claus Conquers The Martians (1964), Manos: The Hands Of Fate (1966), Karate Girl (1974), Yor, The Hunter From The Future (1983), The Roller Blade Seven (1991), The Beginning: The Making Of 'Episode I' (2001), The Room (2003), Catwoman (2004), Double Down (2005), The Wicker Man (2006), Disaster Movie (2008), Birdemic (2010), Jack And Jill (2011), Movie 43 (2013), I, Frankenstein (2014), Cool Cat Saves The Kids (2015).

    I only recently watched "Manos: The Hands of Fate" on my quest to explore bad movies. I wasn't actually sure I was watching a coherent film until about halfway through, and then it became clear that there actually is no upper limit to how bad a movie can get until it becomes a weird form of psychological torture. Anyway can't recommend it enough 10/10

This looks like she is horrified at his crotch. There was supposed to an insert shot of Torgo's goat legs, causing her distress, but they ran out of money.

    I think one key is when the movie is totally incapable of causing a suspension of disbelief at any point during the viewing. The movie's existence in and of itself breaks the fourth wall, or rather that that wall is simply never created to begin with. The movie goes meta and it's like you are watching a documentary about the movie and the artist responsible. And absolutely, this has to be unintentional. That's the punchline that gets the laughs.

    I worked on I Frankenstein doing the visual effects (the fire souls in the scenes you showed were part of our work), the trick is to enjoy the process of making the thing and not required the complete film to be good. I haven’t worked on many films that ended up being a good film. So enjoying the process is essential.

    there really needs to be more discussion about Niel Breen. People always point to Wiseau, but all he really has is The Room and the fame surronding it. Breen has like 5 films, most of them just reskins and repeats of older films, like he doesn't edit and rewrite his films at first, he just makes them, and then remakes them again but slightly more coherent.

    The difference is that Wiseau has some weird charisma to him. His acting is so weird that its facsinating to watch. Breen on the other hand is more boring. His incompetnce and total lack of selfawarness is hilarious and I love it, but I can clearly see why he's not as memorable for the general audience as much as Wiseau is.

    I remember I found a definition of “so bad it’s good” in the comment section of an RLM vid that fit so perfectly I use it as my own personal definition now - essentially a “so bad it’s good” Movie is when the events happening in a movie are so odd and weird - whether it be the actual events happening, the acting, line delivery, shot composition, editing choices, or any thing really - that the movie itself accidentally becomes an absurdist and surreal comedy. Best example is The Room - Tommy’s weird as fuck acting and line delivery are so weird that it’s comedic, especially with the backdrop of the film trying to be a serious drama about relationships.

    If we're handing out recommendations, I'm going to throw down IN THE NAME OF THE KING: A DUNGEON SIEGE TALE (2007) from the always reliable Uwe Boll. It's a roller coaster ride of inexplicable events, brain-pickling dialogue, and actors who are way too good for this shit and obviously know it, but the plot is coherent enough to follow and (most importantly) the pace never drags. It's an extremely watchable and, in my mind, underappreciated good bad movie.

    "so bad it's good" is a meta, abstract version of a dramatic tragedy, where the conflict and payoff for the viewer lies not within the actual work itself, but in the full creative process of the creators of the oiece. The creators display hubris proportional to the badness of the art, and the substance, or the good, lies in the failure and mockery of the creators.

    I have seen SNDNP2 about a million times. I hesitate to put it in 'So bad it's good' because they had an incredibly limited budget, were ordered to simply recut the original film into a flashback movie. But managed to make half an extremely entertaining movie, and the humorous acting and kills are very much intentional but still funny. So it's a film trying to be gory & funny all while fulfilling the role of cashgrabbing by re-editing the first film, and it's successful in everything it attempts to be. So it's just a really good cheap horror comedy!

It rarely ever describes what or how exactly the film is good while also being bad, it treats badness like it were a scale shaped like a horseshoe or a circle where going all the way to one end brings you very close to the other end, which is really oversimplifying it.

I bow to your wisdom when it comes to "so bad it's good" movies. The really good ones are quite rare, and they tend to be made by crazy people. The more normal kind of bad movies sometimes have a few hilarious scenes, but they're sprinkled like chocolate chips in a very bland muffin. There's not enough of them to make the experience entertaining. And thank you for the list of movies in the description! I've never heard of Yor, Double Down, or Birdemic, but I'll keep an eye out for them now. As for "Cool Cat Saves The Kids"... maybe I'll watch it at some point, after they legalize marijuana.

    But all of it was intentional, more or less, if you are talking about the Adam West version. Most of the stuff you laugh at is clearly meant to be parody. The entire "You just can't get rid of a Bomb" scene was obviously never meant to be taken seriously, nor the shark repellent scene.

    William Garland - True, it was definitely partially self aware, but still it's marketed as a real Batman movie, not a Batman parody. I think it was never meant to be taken seriously like you said but it's still dated with cheap TV special effects and costumes of the time that makes it all the more laughable, kind of like the 1960s Star Trek lizard man fight and the super fake rubber shark hanging from batman while he sprays it. Also, like Shatner, Adam West really overreacts which is what makes it all the more hilarious and fun. I just think the fact it's dated and from the sixties makes it more hilarious than what even the original makers had intended.

    What is a 'real' Batman movie? The comics of the era (the silver age) were just as if not more ridiculous than anything in the show (serious/dark batman did not really exist until the mid to late seventies), except the comics were aimed at a child audience and meant to be taken at face value, meanwhile the TV show was more or less always winking at the camera while parodying how outrageous super-heroes books of the time actually were, and thus maintained a sizable (indeed majority) adult audience (it aired in prime-time, afterall, rather than on Saturday morning). Child viewers more often took the show at face value, afterall they always did so with the comics, and thus much of the shows actual humor (which was aimed at their parents) went over their heads.

    WilliamGarland - There has been many iterations of Batman over the years. I see this movie as no different being a product of it's times just like the 90s films and Christopher Nolan series. But no film like Batman the Movie could be made today, just like Star Trek can't go back to being all Shatner's ridiculous acting and goofy lizardmen costumes or have an episode where Spock loses his brain. And just to clarify, I'm aware Star Trek is a different genre with a different audience in mind than 1960s Batman, but it's dated aspects like these that they both share. It certainly was meant to be goofy in it's time. I'm in agreement with you on that, but I still hold to it being so dated and alien in it's humor as bringing it's silliness to a whole new level.

Maybe "bad" isn't the right word since that sounds derogatory. I'm sure at the time it was one of the better shows on television for children and adults. I think the show greatly appealed to it's targeted audience in the 60s which were families with children, but it has lived on today with a cult following due to it's weird, out there humor which you just can't find in any modern media. This is what brings people like me who did not exist during the time of it's original run to own the movie and episodes on dvd. It's just so much fun. ;P

    What makes something "so bad it's good" comes down, I think, to the gulf between what the creator thinks he's making and what he's actually made. Being awful isn't enough; it needs the added factor of the creator believing he was making something good. For me, it's summed up by a scene in Tim Burton's "Ed Wood" where they're filming some godawful scene and Wood (Depp) is there behind the camera like he's conducting a symphony. That moment really captured the essence of artistic delusion; everything about the scene they're shooting is amateurish dreck, but in Ed Wood's mind the scene is absolutely singing.

I am doctor! after which he pulls a hand cannon from his desk... the slowest zombie child ever EVER... and so on and so on... the cheesiest, most overacted 'we're so screwed' slow mo emote'... schadenfreude at it's finest.
