You might
find this weird, but I often enjoy watching a bad movie. I'm sure I'm not the
only one that is like this. However, if somebody enjoys a movie, can you still
call it bad?
In my
opinion the main goal of a movie is to entertain. I understand entertaining in
many different ways - being entertained is not necessarily laughing, especially
in the case of movies and books I think of entertainment as enriching the
viewer (or reader) somehow, presenting him something he likes and wants to see,
that somehow has an impact on him. However in this case I will be mainly talking
about entertaining as making one laugh.
So why
would I want to watch a bad movie? And enjoy it? Well I think it's funny. When
I watch a movie that tries being serious but instead ends up silly or stupid I
will laugh at it. And you know what? I feel entertained. So what if the idea
was different, so what if somebody did a terrible job? As long as I am
satisfied, one way or another, I believe it was worth watching.
The first
movie that comes to my mind is Beware:
Children at Play. This move had very
low rating due to many reasons. The storyline is ridiculous, special effects are
terrible, the acting is awful.. and it's supposed to be a horror movie. But, I
remember watching this with a friend and we both were laughing our heads off
over this movie and when it ended we watched again our favorite scenes. It was
a very pleasant experience.
I remember
when Sin City and later Spirit came out I watched both of those
movies with my friends. The first one I considered average, good but not
brilliant, while my friends thought it was great. The second one however made
me laugh a lot (and I believe it was supposed to be funny) and I enjoyed it
much more than Sin City, while my
friends were disappointed, since they expected the movies to be similar.
Obviously
there are other genres of films than comedy that I enjoy a lot. Actually most
of my favorite movies are rather serious. But I believe that there are some
movies that are meant to be bad or ridiculous and precisely that fact makes
them enjoyable to watch.
Again, I'd
like for you to answer these questions, but please comment the way you like:
1. Do you agree that watching a bad
movie can be enjoyable?
2. Are there any bad movies you
enjoyed?

I totaly agree with your opinion. Watching bad movie can be very enjoyable. Specially when the movie is rediculous. The more rediculous the movie the more fun we have from watching it. This is excatly as you said. But there is another kind of bad movies which simple irritate rather than make it enjoyable to watch. You can proabobly say which type of movie it is after watching it first few minutes.
2. Are there any bad movies you enjoyed?
I do not remember any title right now, but I remember few scenes that made me laugh. It was some horror movie which was so rediculous that it could not even scare a few years baby. I think this was one of those movies which simple suppose to be so bad, that we would watch it in laugh.
Unfortunately, no ;(. I quickly get bored and irritated when I'm looking weak movies.
Are there any bad movies you enjoyed?
I have never found a 'good' weak film :(. I always watch ten minutes and then I turn off.
I usually watch just good movies but sometimes everyone have weaker day.
Just for chillout or with some girl.

Of course for example From Dusk till Down or Planet Terror. Horrible movie!

I lasted only 30 minutes and then gave up. I prefer movies with better storyline and special effects.
I think that Sin City was a brilliant film. Personally, I prefer the Marvel movies.
Lately I watched a couple of very bad films for example. Werewolf, "Under the strong angel" (Polish movie). The last one was very sad and left a disgusted. Instead of hard films I recommended "The guardians of the galaxy"
