Shit Films You Like

Fair play, horses for courses and all that, but I was specifically thinking The Transporter when I posted that!

Worse than a shit sandwich with piss in it.

IMO, of course ;).

No worries, I guess it's a fine line :D

Personally I don't really like Chaos (aka War), his one with Jet Li, and I didn't really like The Bank Job.

And Transporter 2 isn't a good bad film, it's just rubbish :(

Can't really disagree with that...

London was shit. Thing with London is that it was trying to be more of an arthouse film.

But THE STATH was magnificent in it!
 
There's a genuinely serious film there, in amongst the rocket launchers. I've not seen any of the sequels but I expect they're pretty weak compared to the original.

Yeah, Rambo (First Blood) doesn't deserve to be on any 'Shit Films' thread, but R3 ventures into 'crap-but-fun' territory.

The Beast Of War, (George Dzundza's best film, imo) did Afghanistan way better.
 
But it's important to differentiate between the good blockbusters and the bad ones. For instance, the first two X men films are ace, but that recent Wolverine one, and X men 3, were shit.

Indeed, it is fair to say that X-Men 3 did not bust as many blocks as the first 2. Haven't seen Wolverine - maybe I won't bother now.

Loved Transformers.. sooooooo cheesy. Can't wait for the sequel.
Armageddon, Independence Day, War of the Words... all kinda crappy but enjoyable-silly-rainy-day-on-the-sofa-with-doritos-and-dip-fun.
 
If you like a film, it can't be shit.

I know I'm on a loser there but I felt the need to say it.

Ah come on!

You must have seen a few films that you know, in your heart of hearts, are badly acted, poorly produced, shit-scripted fluff ... but still enjoyed them?

Watch The Fast And The Furious or anything with Antonio Banderas in it!
 
Lair Of The White Worm - a Ken Russell joint, early woodwork by Hugh Grant, Amanda Donohoe in blue paint as an ancient serpentine god with a predilection for bathing with Boy Scouts and tribadism of a most delectably sapphic kind. Utterly awful film, but compelling all the same.

I stayed up late to watch that when I was about 14, and was a bit :eek: at it all :D
 
I've never seen it, because I know it's bollocks!

Worth a punt within the context of this thread you reckon, Badgers?

If your brain needs to be switched off and you can't think of anything else then it is worth seeing for reference and lols.
 
Think I'd rather see Amanda Donahoe in blue paint.

Does she get naked?

All I can remember is that I stayed up to watch it thinking it was going to be a conventional action adventure about a guy going to fight a giant white dragon in a cave, and it turned out to be rather more odd/sexual/arthousey than that....
 
A few more have come to mind:

Terminal Velocity, the one with Charlie Sheen as a skydiver caught up in implausible murder shenanigans
Passenger 57, in which airline security goon Wesley Snipes gets to utter his immortal McClane X line, "Bet on black!"
Scar City, a thoroughly minor action film and silly to boot but a gripping take on the Magnum Force cops-as-vigilantes schtick, with a Baldwin (Stephen) reuniting with Usual Suspects co-star Chazz Palmintieri, as well as CSI's Gary Dourdan and Tia Carrere all paying their bills in an efficient manner

:D
 
"Goodbye Mr. Chips" (the proper, 1930s Robert Donat version) is far from high art but still left me with a moist eye on the third watching.

And I will always have a soft spot for "The Time Machine".
 
Twister. Total load of crap but whenever it's on Sky I always thinkn 'I'll turn this off in a minute but, ooh, ooh, the bit with flying cow's coming up.'
 
I like The Lair Of The White Worm, too. A few good laughs to be had at Hugh Grant's expense is always a good thing.

And Amanda Donohoe dresses up as an air hostess and has a fight with another air hostess. You've gotta give it points for that.
