There are plenty of good movies that are great, just like there are plenty of bad movies that are unwatchable.
Every now and then, though, we find a movie that’s so bad that it’s actually good.
Whether it’s due to unintentional humor, a nonsensical plot that defies logic, or even a guilty pleasure, according to audiences, these are the movies that are so bad, yet so good to watch.
Hackers
Yes, the film is obviously cheaply made and incredibly stupid. Yet that only makes it more endearing.
The film flirts with being a parody, never intending to be anywhere close to good, and as a result, that helps give it a certain appeal that makes it enjoyable.
Van Helsing
One thing that goes against Van Helsing is how seriously it takes itself.
It’s nowhere close to being art, but it succeeds as a mindless popcorn flick, and sometimes that’s more than good enough.
The Core
There’s something about the late ’90s/early 2000s era disaster movies that makes them shockingly enjoyable.
They present themselves as serious, legitimate films, yet the premise of The Core is that you’re drilling to the center of the Earth to restart the planet’s core.

Spice World
Given the popularity of the Spice Girls during their peak, a movie was all but given.
It’s surprisingly self-aware of how bad the film is and is surprisingly campy. It may not be a good movie, but they had fun making it.
Batman & Robin
Yes, it’s the film that nearly killed the Batman franchise, but over time, it somehow enjoyed an audience reassessment.
It’s still pretty bad, but there are so many terrible puns that you can’t help but laugh.
Showgirls
Speaking of reassessments, Showgirls has gone from a bona fide disaster that destroyed careers to a beloved cult classic.
Look, it’s still a bad movie with bad performances and a bad story, but it’s like a car wreck: you just can’t look away.
Suburban Commando
If you tell me Hulk Hogan is playing an interstellar warrior that helps a dweeb played by Christopher Lloyd find self-confidence, then you better believe I’m in.
Nothing But Trouble
Speaking of all-star casts, Nothing But Trouble is what happens when you let Dan Akroyd get weird.
We’ve seen far better comedies from Akroyd, Chevy Chase, and John Candy, but this one didn’t land with audiences, though some argue that it was just ahead of its time.
The Room
The very definition of a movie so bad it’s good.
Tommy Wiseau’s “masterpiece” makes absolutely no sense, and the man cannot act, but it’s just so unintentionally funny.
Excalibur
On paper, Excalibur should have worked: an all-star cast, beautiful cinematography, and all the right things working in its favor.
So what happened? The script. It’s just so bad that it’s cringey and, at times, difficult to watch.
