The NY Times is running an occasional series on "good bad" movies, with Patrick Swayze's Road House considered by those writing the series as the "best bad" movie in their opinions.

Except Road House isn’t a movie. It’s cinema, and over the heads of many people in its genius.

That _The Terror of Tinytown_ was not mentioned even once in this article is a travesty.

Movie 43 is freaking hilarious, and I don't understand all the hate for it. It's a dumb, fun, gross-out comedy that packs in way more laughs than many other examples of the genre.

I could never agree to define The last Airbender as a bad movie.

My all time favorite so bad it's good movie is Attack of the Killer Tomatoes🍅🤣 Oh, Killer Klowns from Outer Space is a close second.

Great article, but you are a sucker for confining your current movie viewing to movies with a high Metacritic score and cultural relevance:)

Don't ever show old films to friends without screening them first: https://www.instagram.com/p/CNJ-NNjnQOb/?hl=en
