The Film So Bad It's Actually Kind of Amazing Award (2014)

[AndyRM]

Inspired by a conversation with @welsh dragon over on the 'What film' thread, I have created this inaugural award.

The title is fairly self explanatory and all you need to do is nominate your favourite film that's so terrible it has blossomed into a thing of great beauty. We have two nominations so far:

Zardoz and Cactus Jack

To keep things simple, I'll be the judge and my decision is final. I'll decide at some point on Sunday afternoon.

Supporting arguments to help your films cause will be given due consideration.

I move that Zardoz be struck off the list as it's not a bad film at all. It is just amazing.

Geisha with John Wayne

 

[Joshua Plumtree]

Dark Star 1974. My entry in the best and the worst movie ever made categories.

How about The Humanoid? Of all the Star Wars rip offs it is the most blatant, and it's got Jaws from James Bond in it.

North Sea Hijack

007 v Norman Bates

Pure class!

Bula Quo gets my vote... it's so bad i have to recommend it to everyone, Quo fan or not... this film has got to be seen to be believed.

If there were any rules about this, Ed Wood films would be disqualified on the grounds of being too terribly good!

@Rockmountain has written a book about assessing films:

How about Konga starring Michael Gough!

I remember in one scene the gorilla stretches up and you can see the actors white socks under the costume!!

I submit a trailer of my latest film. It's had rave reviews from @User14044. There's another eighty-nine minutes of it in the offing.
