Most Unintentionally Hilarious Film

[Dookus]

1. The Conqueror

with John Wayne as Genghis Khan

And Agnes Moorehead

[MidwestMomma]

62. I bought that movie for like 50 cents or something

but I've never watched it. Sounds like a classic. I'll have to go find it and watch it.

[Astarho]

64. Filmed near a nuclear testing site...

the ground was contaminated by nuclear (not nukyular) fallout, it is believed to have contributed to the cancer deaths of an unusually large percent of the cast and crew.

edit- much of this radioactive dirt was later shipped back to the studio for the indoor scenes, so the terrain would match.

The movie literally killed them!

[slinkerwink]

2. The Exorcist-----that had me rolling around in the aisle in laughter...

[Interrobang]

12. Yeah, definitely.

I can remember seeing it with a friend when we were both around 16. During the scene at the very beginning, when those ominous noises come out of the attic, I looked at my friend and said, "That's one big f***in' raccoon!!" and it all went downhill from there! :)

[DiverDave]

54. I went to the drive-in

to see the exorcist with three of my Buddy's.
we bought 2 pizzas before the show, the guys in the front seat were FREAKED out and didn't want their pizza, me and the guy in the back seat were laughing soooo hard.
Not so hard that we couldn't eat both giant pizza's though.

[LSdemocrat]

3. Army of Darkness

[Dookus]

4. nah

Army of Darkness isn't unintentionally funny.

[Gringo]

5. Umm...

The "Evil Dead" series were horror COMEDIES. The humor was not unintentional...

[Ramsey]

55. Um....

Very intentionally funny movie!

[Minstrel Boy]

6. What? No Ed Wood?!?

Plan 9 from Outer Space or Glen or Glenda? need to be there!

[Ladyhawk]

7. Battlefield Earth, Creeping Terror, Pet Sematery

[Supply Side Jesus]

71. Creeping Terror rules!!!!

i love that narrator, he should narrate ALL films!

[maggrwaggr]

8. Lifeforce

takes the cake

[Gringo]

10. Wasn't that the space vampire movie?

Don't remember it too clearly...

If Keanu had had a bit more screen time, I would have put in "Dracula" or the Shakespeare flim he did (Midsummer Night's Dream?)

[Cooley Hurd]

9. Reefer Madness...

...eh, what did you expect me to say?

[SerpentX]

19. Second that.

[youngred]

42. Third That

MARIHUANA IS EEEEEEEEVIL!

[pa28]

11. I think "Battlefield Earth" would be winning

If anybody besides you and me had seen it.

[Kamika]

23. starship troopers is pretty close

topic

[LynneSin]

31. thank you, I think Starship Troopers is so frickin funny

:D

[Kamika]

39. What made it so great

Was that it took itself so serious

[Supply Side Jesus]

73. you think so??

I took that film as a tongue in cheek parody of fascist thinking. The action took itself mostly serious. But I found the film to be funny intentionally, especially the 'news reels.'

[MidwestMomma]

61. That's what I was going to vote for

What with Doogie Howser and that giant brain at the end....it's sooooo bad it's funny.

[Gringo]

78. "Troopers" was done totally tongue in cheek

It is a parody of fascism. Heinlein, who is a pro-fascist, hated the film. It was intentionally funny. (Although the gore was a bit much for me)

[Skittles]

32. remember when that guy jumped in a jet

that had been sitting dormant for 1000 years and it, like, FIRED RIGHT UP? YES INDEED. :D

[Dogmudgeon]

13. Left Behind

No doubt about it.

--bkl
And I liked "Battlefield Earth".

[cprise]

14. Bride Of Chuckie

.

[VOX]

15. Other: "The Color of Night" with Bruce Willis...

It's so horrible that it's nearly entertaining. It's got a truly bad musical score, girl-girl action, a BDSM play, blood, crossdressing, mindnumbing twists, absurd characters, ghastly direction, inane dialogue, and completely unconvincing performances. It's simply one of the worst big-budget studio movies EVER made, right up there with "Showgirls."

[MrBenchley]

37. Heard a rumor once

that the movie was insanely expensive because AFTER it was shot the studio thought Willis looked too bald and so they had a special effects team give him a Jurassic toupee....

[VOX]

60. Ha! An after-the-fact toupee!

Now I'll have to look at the cursed thing again when it seeps out of the cable.

On edit: Thanks for the "heads" up! -- :toast:

[VeniceBeat]

16. "Luck Lady"

Starring the very underrated Pia Zadora!

[Bob3]

17. King Kong Lives!

The 59 cent Dino De Horrendous sequel to his horrible remake of King Kong - staring Linda Hamilton and featuring the most absurd operating room scene in the history of film - where Linda (playing the plucky young surgeon removes Kong's damaged heart) and replaces it with a Jarvic 7 heart about the size of a Yugo (which is brought in on a crane). In the theater were I saw it people were laughing out loud during the whole thing - and why not? I remember sitting there thinking how the hell do you sterilize a crane?

And then after that the movie gets really dumb with a female Kong, the army and the doomed romance between Kong and the female that leads to the birth of a man in an ape suit.

I don't use drugs but I thought I had when I was watching this.

[ldoolin]

29. Ah! Somebody who will admit to watching that...

I saw it too. :puke:

It was...really...bad.

[Norbert]

18. Any movie that made it to MST3K

[Bucky]

20. "The Lonely Lady" starring Pia Zadorra

Off the charts bad

[VeniceBeat]

41. I Stand Corrected

My feeble memory thought it was "Lucky" Lady.

Whoops!

It's deliciously, mindbogglingly wonderful!

[Enraged_Ape]

21. Red Dawn

I still haven't figured out if John Milius was kidding or not.

My favorite shot in the film starts out with the close-up of a bumper sticker saying, "THEY'LL TAKE MY GUN WHEN THEY PRY IT FROM MY COLD, DEAD FINGERS". Then the camera tilts down to a dead guy holding a pistol, and a Russian pries the pistol out of his hand and puts it in his pocket. I laughed so hard the first time I saw that, I almost fainted. The whole film is filled with side-splitters like that.

[FunBobbyMucha]

24. I think Red Dawn shaped Chimpy's presidency...

...I've posted elsewhere that his entire administration is predicated on the tears he shed as she snorted a line in 1987 and watched Harry Dean Stanton intone from the interment camp: "Boys! Avenge me! Avenge me!"

Fast forward to several thousand dead civilian Iraqis.

[Burma Jones]

22. The Ten Commandments

This is a very funny movie. Hilarious if only for Edward G. Robinson's character.

[mac56]

25. "Manos: The Hands Of Fate"

All-time winner.

[regularguy]

28. TORGO!

.

[Coventina]

44. Ah, the haunting "Torgo" theme.....

[Supply Side Jesus]

74. mmmm, I wonder how torgo keeps the pizza warm?

[phillybri]

26. It begins and ends w/ Showgirls

That is purity in terms of unintentional comedy...

[phillybri]

27. For more on Unintentional Comedy....

http://espn.go.com/page2/s/simmons/021107.html

This is like the Bible for UC...

[ldoolin]

30. A Thief in the Night, A Distant Thunder, Image of the Beast...

Try that series for the ultimate in unintentional laughs.

[King of New Orleans]

33. Earthquake!

hands down. Just saw it on AMC a couple of weeks ago. Even without the special theatre rumbling effect it was still hugely hilarious.


Here's another thought to ponder, if you switched Charlton Heston's and William Shatner's entire acting careers, would it have changed any movie or show they had been in? Not one damn dirty ape bit.

[eileen_d]

34. David Lynch's DUNE

"My name... is a killing word..."

I laugh out loud every time I see it.

[underpants]

35. Rain Man

It's not suposed to be funny but everyone knows what "Of course Judge Wapner comes on at foooooour" means.

[Dees]

36. Top Gun. Tom Cruise is pathetically humorous.

[MrBenchley]

38. Roadhouse...

Flat-out funny in every scene,, except for the ones that try to be humorous....

[Westegg]

46. Road House is a guilty pleasure of mine...

I CAN'T STOP watching it on cable when it comes on---which is often. Sam Elliot's hair is alone worth the time spent. Patrick Swayze as the philosophy major? Kelly Lynch as the goddamn DOCTOR with a suntan? From beginning to end, this classic piece o' shit (directed by a man named "Rowdy") is a film every American should see.

[Zomby Woof]

50. YES!

ProfessorGAC and I are the only other 2 DUers I know of that ALWAYS watch this compelling piece of shit whenever it runs on cable.

*Monster Truck Crashes Through The Window!*

Presumably, we're all intelligent liberals here, but that movie gets past the defenses somehow.

[asthmaticeog]

66. YES!

My way --- or the highway. Or I'll just rip your throat out with Tai Chi.

[Gringo]

70. Creepe creepy creepy!

Your picture of Bush from the Shining is chilling! brrr...

[skypilot]

40. "The Shining"...

...with Shelly Duval making those faces and that kid talking in that stupid voice while flexing his index finger. Ooooo, I'm afraid.

[PVnRT]

43. Full Metal Jacket

The first half of the movie is a comedic masterpiece, especially if you're high.

[demnan]

45. A tie

Mommy Dearest and Conan the Barbarian



NO MORE METAL HANGERS!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrSlayer]

47. Evil Dead - The Original

Was supposed to be genuinely scary but ended up being hilarious. A classic for sure. One of my favorites. Deadly Friend was also pretty good, when she throws the basketball through the woman's head I nearly piss myself every time.

[mobuto]

48. Kiss me Deadly

No doubt about it.

[neverborn]

49. The Brotherhood!

!

[mitchum]

51. "Caligula"

[Doc_Technical]

52. I vote for those "educational" films...

..that were forced upon us in school.
My favorite was "Duck and Cover", instructing us
how to survive a nuk-u-lar war.

[mlawson]

53. The Blob -- it's so corny!!

For one thing, they had Steve McQueen and other 35-40 years olds in it as high schoolers. Absolutely ridiculous!

Hell all they had to do was walk away from the diner!! Duh....

[Ramsey]

56. The Blue Lagoon

Wow, what a honker!

[slackdude]

57. Planet of the Apes

Heston and his overacting were hysterical. See also: Soylent Green.

[joeybee12]

58. Glen or Glenda!!!!!!!!!!!!

An absolute mess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DS1]

59. Feeders 2

[Astarho]

63. Quest of the Delta Knights

One of my favorite scenes is the "hero" T in a tavern where the tavern wench makes it clear she is availible for sex, eventhough T is about nine years old!

I'm Comiiiiiiiiiiiing!

[Kat45]

65. "Reefer Madness," and there was also one called "Sex Madness"

in which a 'nice girl' went to the big city to get a job, which led to her having sex, then getting VD of course. That totally ruined her life (of course). She later would have been able to marry a nice young man, have a family--everything she dreamed of--but she couldn't because she had had sex and gotten VD.

I'm not making this up. I saw it at a small cinema in the '70s and everyone laughed their asses off throughout the whole thing.

[Colin Ex]

67. The Sword and the Sorceror

If you didn't just about have a heart attack from laughing when the guy shot his sword blades out, then you aren't human. Seriously.

(I couldn't breathe for five minutes. Just thinking about it I laugh.)

-C

[Rabrrrrrr]

68. Love Story

So overwraught and saccharine, I laughed through the whole thing.

Couldn't have given a rat's ass for any of the characters, it was so vapid.

[havocmom]

69. The Blair Witch Project

We literally rolled on the floor laughing.

[The Zanti Regent]

72. Can't Stop the Music!

The Life Story of the Village People, brought to you by the same gang of idiots who made Star Trek: The Motion(less) Picture.

Can't Stop The Music was the movie that inspired John Wilson to create the Razzies™

Remember--the RAZZIE winners will be announced noon Saturday at http://www.razzies.com

[Supply Side Jesus]

75. Titanic

nuff said.

[LastKnight]

76. Posiedon adventure...

i know i cant spell for crap, but i refuse to hit spell check, ha...

anyways, i donno if anyone else felt this way but i saw it just last year as part of a film course, for its time im sure it was dramatic, but its just plain corny these days and i laughed my ass off.

-LK

[SmileyBoy]

77. Clash Of The Titans, because the special effects were SOOOOOO bad.

...

[scarlet_owl]

79. Medusa scared the crap out of me when I was a kid.

Bubo was pretty cute though.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

80. Robot Monster

Circa 1953, this film was shot in the L.A. area with a budget of about $16,000. I saw it on TV in the early 60's and I never forgot it, it's that bad and that funny. The alien is a guy wearing a gorilla suit, with a diving helmet on his head, into which they stuck a TV antenna. I heard that the producer had these odds and ends (gorilla suit, diving helmet, old TV) laying around and decided to build an alien with them. The one very odd thing about this film is that the music is fantastic, as good as the movie is bad. That's because the score was written by a then unknown Elmer Bernstein, who went on to write the scores to movies like The Magnificent Seven and The Great Escape. The great music makes it even stranger an experience, as it creates a disconnect with the terrible and almost backyard amateur production qualities of the images. Examples of the pee-on-yourself dialogue:

Ro-Man (for "Robot Man") checks in with his boss, the tyrannical Great One, via his televiewer. Already, the film’s scrupulously researched science is on display.
Ro-Man: “Extension Ro-Man, XJ2, reporting to Guidance Ro-Man. I salute you.”
The Great One, testily: “You are late, fourteen minutes.”
Ro-Man: “The gravitational pull is stronger than reported, point seven-six-five-two higher than our planet.”
Great One: “Accepted.”

Ro-Man, proclaiming his success at eliminating all human life from the Earth: “All are gone now. The way is clear for our people.”
Great One: “I want facts, not words!”
Ro-Man: “Fact A! My pulse has been reduced to plus zero zero.”
Great One: “Reject! Error!”
Ro-Man: “Error? But Great Guidance, I have proved it! My energizer has scan-checked by square feet! No life above lepidopteron level exists!”
Great One: “My calculator is more accurate! In the twenty-second category there is an error of sixteen-billionths!”
Ro-Man: “The Great One is never wrong. Then there are perhaps eight people left on Earth?”
Great One: “Not perhaps! Precisely! Find and destroy them!”

Alice and Roy (the human love interest) have to work together. Of course, since they’re in love but haven’t admitted it yet, they continue to argue. An example of their banter:
Alice: “If I only had a decent assistant, who could take orders instead of trying to be the boss!”
Roy, fuming: “I’m bossy?! You’re so bossy, you ought to be milked before you come home at night!”

[Zinfandel]

81. "Moment by Moment " and "The Oscar."

Bad: "Glitter" "Coyote Ugly" "Flashdance".
