Mandy with Nicholas Cage takes the cake for me but it's so bad it's good. If I were going for just bad, it would probably have to be the last airbender movie...
Enemy with Jake Gyllenhaal is up there for me too, because FUCK that movie.
I remember seeing Mandy in theaters with my college dorm mates, and I will never forget how bizarre that experience was. I was in the mood for something more serious, but I should have known they would select something like that
I think calling Mandy so bad it's good is a massive misread of what Mandy was trying to do. It's a funny, over-the-top movie at a lot of points, deliberately.
Idk man deliberately bad is still bad
Yeah, I'm just saying it's not bad, deliberately or otherwise. It's deliberately a lot of things that you're parsing as bad but work for, idk, certainly the vast majority of people who watched it, critics and audiences alike.
Nic Cage: "Mandy? I can do so much worse"
What's wrong with Enemy? It's honestly one of my favorite movies.
It's overly artsy fartsy for me. I didn't "get it" and when the metaphor was explained to me I was disappointed. The spiders made no sense to me initially, and when I learned what it was supposed to be, it felt like garbage nonsense from planet bullshit.
