  1. Believe it or not, there’s more than one movie titled “Werewolf” – could you give me the year for the one you mean? Not that any of them look like award-winners…

  2. They’re nowhere near as bad as these travesties, but there are two really stupid movies that I love: ‘Cursed’ (with Jesse Eisenberg and Christina Ricci as siblings turning into werewolves) and ‘Juwanna Man,’ in which a male basketball player dresses as a woman to play in the women’s league.

  3. Leprechaun: In the Hood. No, really. Warwick Davis, Ice-T, cross-dressing, plot holes, and a post credit scene of the leprechaun rapping a song called, “Lep in the Hood”!

    It’s one of the best bad movies out there.

  4. I really enjoy so-bad-it’s-good movies. I’ve only seen one that you mentioned here: Santa Claus Conquers the Martians—so I’ll have to check out some of the others. Off the top of my head, Message from Space would be my addition to the list.
