D2 'JANUARY 15, 2015 TIMEOUT THE TIGER 5 Terrible Movie* for Terrible "Weather
BY: MATTHEW STAPIETON, COPY EDITOR
Have you ever seen a movie that was so bad, you couldn't help but laugh? Looking fot some movies to watch while the weather lingers between snow and rain? Look no further! Here is your go-to list for a combination of horrible and hilarious.
"Troll2" (1990)
"Troll 2" stands out among entertainingly bad movies due to a great mix of issues — terrible plot, horrible actors, bad graphics and some of the worst dialogue ever written. But thankfully for us viewers, all of these aspects were SO bad that it has become one of the funniest movies ever created, completely unintentionally. The whole thing feels like a long SNL skit, from the weird, perverted humor to the actors breaking character time and time again. What really stands out as the best, worst scene, though, is when a scantily clad character is introduced to seduce one of the main characters, and things proceed to literally "heat up" when corn begins to pop off the cob around them.
This movie is almost unwatchable, but thankfully there is one saving grace that allows the whole mess to come together nicely — it doesn't take itself seriously. While definitely far from George Clooney's and Arnold Schwarzenegger's star roles, the two act just poorly enough to turn the dialogue into pure comedic gold. This, alongside the nipples on the Batman suit, guarantees that you'll be falling out of your seat laughing throughout the whole movie. "mxtemiaShockandTerror'' (2010) This film made the attempt to be a horror movie in the same vein as "The Birds", but turned out as one of the all-time best examples of why you can't stretch your movie's budget too thin. The actors are horrendous, the plot is shaky and the poor CGI make sure that no part of the movie looks even remotely decent. However, the over-the-top testosterone pulsing through the film makes it one of the best experiences of all time. Everything explodes, guns are awkwardly placed into every scene and it's pretty apparent that the main character is intentionally making his voice sound lower. The best part — most of the actors are so low quality, the only plausible explanation is that they are family of the producer. "faw&thelkvenge' (1987) Technically Jaws 4, this film continues the trend of all the Jaws sequels in that these sharks are not only fast and deadly, but also apparemly brilliantly smart. They are also very good at tracking the family of the main character from the first movie. The film is widely panned as the worst in the series and -5?°fo actually made so litde money that it ended any hope for the franchise all together. Nonetheless, the shoddy dialogue and horrible graphics make the movie enjoyable to watch. "ThegiantOaw" (1957) The humor from this movie comes from the goofy looking villain. Imagine a sock with a bird's face on it, and you've got yourself a monster! The dialogue from the film displays the producers lack of knowledge of any kind of military or science, while the actors aren't very good at being scared of the turkey from hell. Honestly, this movie is the worst on this list, but the humorous giant monster makes every scene absolutely hilarious.
