10. Dune (1984)

One of David Lynch’s spectacular failures, Dune is a movie that doesn’t actually make any sense at all (because the novels don’t), but tries to make sense. What results is an extremely confounding plot, which isn’t so strange for Lynch, and a sort of eerie take on sci-fi and fantasy. Dune has some of the best special effects for its time period, and is a really great movie to sit back and watch when you’re drunk and alone. While Dune is basically impossible to follow, and thus terribly hard to sit through, it’s also pretty intricate and visually appealing, which makes it awesome. TC mark

    Oh man. The Cutting Edge was one of my absolute favorite movies when I was a kid. My brother gave me a copy on DVD last Christmas just to make fun of me for it. Must say. Still kinda like it.

      seems like a lot of female friendships are based on a shared love for the cutting edge. you've got the wrong trailer, but it's good to know there's a terrible remake of a terrible film. 'chasing the dream'

      • http://entropicalia.wordpress.com Alison

        Huh I can't say I've had a connection with anyone over The Cutting Edge, male or female. Usually its just blank stares or “you are kidding, right?” So I will take this opportunity to say TOOOOOEEEEEEPIIICCCKKK. The end.

        oops meant to say 'a lot of my female friendships.' 'fingerpainting?'

    Total Recall, Dead Alive and Death Race 2000 are great movies. Sometimes I feel like I sincerely like a lot of stuff other people only like ironically. I don't get it.

    My pitch for a terrible movie that is awesome…???

    Heavy Metal!!!  Great soundtrack… visually? it's just ok animation… Storyline is weak. But it is a terrible and AWESOME movie!

  • Uhnonnymus

    I stopped reading after Total Recall because  that movie is only bad if you have no taste and I don't feel like clicking through 8 more pages of nonsense.

    What a strange article.  I think, I assume, a pretty effective satire of dreadfully glib movie reviews that are based almost exclusively on cutesy irony and sarcasm + manufactured nostalgia.  Great work.

    anything with Sharon Stone

    Where is Steven Seagal on this list? He's the king of terrible/awesome movies. Proof: Marked for Death.
