I can’t be the only person with a favorite bad movie?
As someone who is studying film, I watch a lot of movies. Netflix being the main way I watch movies, many of them are very bad. Bad, but in a good way.
The most common thing that makes a movie bad is that it’s not giving you the emotion you're supposed to have. A horror movie is making you laugh instead of feeling scared, “Jennifer’s Body” is a great example of this. If you haven’t seen it: Megan Fox is a succubus. Need I say more? Doesn’t that sound hilarious?
Even as a film major, I love awful movies. I think we all love awful movies to some extent.
We hate them when they’re boring, we love them when they’re hilarious.Tommy Wiseau is a rich man because of “The Room,” the worst movie of all time. “The Room” is two hours long but millions of people sit through it, some even still pay to see this movie, because it’s just that awful. It’s so awful, everyone loves it. The (very sexy, but that’s not important) Franco brothers and Seth Rogen even made money off this hilarious tragedy.
Not to throw shade on romcoms, but romcoms are made every year and they all have the same plot. A free-spirited girl and a businessman who wants a promotion, they meet, fall in love, have a big fight, break up, then get back together and live happily ever after. We all know how the story goes, but we’re still going to see the romantic comedy coming out this summer because we all know “How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days” is fantastic.
We should all be open to having a laugh at a bad movie, because most of us have Netflix subscriptions and their movie selection kinda sucks. They have “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” under critically-acclaimed movies.
You: Hope, haven’t you seen that movie like 8 times?Me: Yeah, but that isn’t the point. Mila Kunis can make everything great, that’s why Bad Moms had a sequel
