View Full Version : What really "BAD" movies are you looking forward to on BD?
theforce8686 05-01-07, 11:00 PM Well we have all answered the questions what movies are we looking forward to?
Star Wars, LOTR, etc etc. Its a little redundant. But what really bad or cheesy movies (that actually do have a chance of coming out someday) are you looking forward to?
Im hoping for both Anaconda 1 and 2, Snakes on a plane, and maybe Grandmas Boys or the Cave. We all have some bad movies we love. What are some of yours?
Goatspeed 05-01-07, 11:02 PM Please Please Please let Black Dog be available on BD soon.
Randy Travis + Meatloaf + Patrick Swayzee couldn't make a better movie than this.
Out Cold...... though I'm not sure what studio it belongs to, but whenever it hits, i'll pick it up on the format it belongs to :D
nismor2 05-01-07, 11:13 PM Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man. Mickey Rourke and Don Johnson playing two has been while in fact they were turning into has beens. This is a good buddy movie. They showed real buddy chemistry unlike many movies today.

I used to own that on VHS. I'd buy it in BD for sure.
crakerhead 05-01-07, 11:16 PM cowboy way, grind, bad boys 1/2
eightninesuited 05-01-07, 11:17 PM Not a great movie by any means but I'd like to see War of the Worlds with True HD or DTS MA. I love the audio in that film.
Goatspeed 05-01-07, 11:20 PM How about The Stupids? I'd buy that just to witness the encounter with "the Lloyd" in the planetarium at 1080p and to hear "I'm my own grandpa" in uncompressed PCM.
theforce8686 05-01-07, 11:22 PM Haha. My dad's favorite movie! Pretty damn good movie too.
Umm... I'll throw out a list of some movies that got panned:
Joe Dirt
Dirty Work
Zoolander
UHF
I'm sure I'm missing a few.
Zoolander is a great one. I have poster of that in my living room signed by the whole cast. It is a very underated movie.
nismor2 05-01-07, 11:33 PM Lol you guys have a good list. In Harley davidson and the marlboro man the scene when they need to jump in to the pool from the roof of the casino is priceless. joshd2012 I forgot about Dirty Work and add Men at work with Charley Sheen and Emilio Estevez. I like that movie for some reason. Goatspeed you should of held on to that VHS, that could of been some kind of relic some day lol.

bunsojr 05-02-07, 01:17 AM Oh I love Capt. Ron! I'd also like to see Dumb and Dumber, Grandma's Boy, Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, Half Baked. None of these are bad movies on any account. Just not really necessary to go HD.
bunsojr 05-02-07, 01:19 AM Oh, I'll add Mr. Destiny to that list too!
shadowrage 05-02-07, 01:22 AM Spiderman 2

I don't think any of these movies are that bad. Some are quite good for what they are. All should look great to fantastic in HD.
isaidme 05-02-07, 02:47 AM Goonies
LazerViking 05-02-07, 03:17 AM Tango & Cash. Then I can retire all my other HD format discs and never bother with buying another one. I will own the only movie needed ever.
Terrll23 05-02-07, 09:13 AM Ghost Rider
The Condemned
The Program
beatboy77 05-02-07, 09:22 AM Tango & Cash. Then I can retire all my other HD format discs and never bother with buying another one. I will own the only movie needed ever.
Tango & Cash Is Great!!
Remember early in the movie when Stallone fires his gun at the truck and cocaine pours out? The Cop standing on top of the truck yells out:
"Who does that idiot think he is, Rambo?"
That scene gets me laughing every time I see it.
~Josh
Genius74 05-02-07, 09:32 AM Uh... None.
I want be re-buying the bad movies in HD on any format.

The many women in my life loathe this movie, but I will watch anything by Gilliam and would love them all in HD.
Schlotkins 05-02-07, 10:14 AM Goonies... a bad movie? Here's a bad movie: Cabin Boy.

bassmonkeee 05-02-07, 11:11 AM Goonies... a bad movie? Here's a bad movie: Cabin Boy.
Wanna buy a monkey? :D
I own Cannonball Run on CED, VHS, LD, and DVD. In the off chance it's ever released on Blu Ray, I guess I'd have to buy it, too.
I'd have to say "Cool as Ice" and "Over the Top" :D
on a serious note I would like to see "Twister", "The Three Amigos", and "My Cousin Vinny"
Jiffylush 05-02-07, 11:21 AM Goonies... a bad movie? Here's a bad movie: Cabin Boy.
When my wife and I were dating I took her to see Cabin Boy. (I am a Chris Elliott Fan)
Anyway, whenever I complain about a movie being bad she always brings up Cabin Boy, I think she would consider it to be one of the worst movies that we have ever seen.
FWIW, Goonies is a must buy for me, we love that movie and hope to share it with our children one day. (still a little young yet)
ryoohki 05-02-07, 11:29 AM Starship trooper is a must, one of my fav Verhoven title (with Total Recall) but considered bad by most. Still have my Superbit Edition somewhere in the closet

Cabin Boy is actually one of my brother's favorites (and strangely he has really good taste in movies usually). If BV did release it, I'd pick it up for him in 2 seconds. :)

Marc D Carra 05-02-07, 12:22 PM Harley Davidson & the Marlboro Man sounded absolutely incredible on Laserdisc. In the openning scene when Mickey Rourke starts up his bike, it's stunning. Hopefully it will sound as good on an uncompressed PCM track. The DVD didn't sound half as good as the Laserdisc version
BTW, I REALLY want Red Dawn!!!!!!!
Marc.
luigionlsd 05-02-07, 12:38 PM Sony can release Underworld 1 to go along with Evolution, for starters...

They showed real buddy chemistry unlike many movies today.I absolutely love this movie... but the SD-DVD really shows age and lack of attention to mastering. I hope they clean this one up.
To throw another one out there... how about "The Adventures of Ford Fairlane"?

coug7669 05-03-07, 01:43 AM Rock and Roll high school (Ramones). cry baby ( btw its on hbo hd this friday), back to the beach ( any movie with Frankie and Annette). Of course all movies listed have terrible transfers with atrocious sound and mucho grain. I have them on laserdisc and would really like to have them on this format as my laserdisc collection is suffering from rot.
Jiffylush 05-03-07, 09:24 AM cry baby ( btw its on hbo hd this friday)
Thank you coug, thank you TiVo online scheduling, and thank you HBO-HD.
Friday @ 3:00 PM
I know what I am doing Friday night, the BD rentals will have to wait!
jgillane 05-03-07, 10:02 AM Urban Cowboy
batmanbegan 05-03-07, 10:16 AM Can a high def movie ever be bad? :eek: Isnt that an oxymoron? (j/k)
No no, all high def content is sacred and eagerly awaited
But seriously, 'my cousin vinny' and 'O Brother' would be fun
I'd love to get Hot Shots! Part Deux in HD. I guess I wouldn't call it bad in the traditional sense; it is a parody after all, so it's supposed to be stupid. But that's what comes to mind when I think of bad movies that I love to death.
dc_pilgrim 05-03-07, 11:56 AM Would I actually buy Roadhouse? I might. . .
Fair Game - I would buy, absolutely.
JimmyWang214 05-03-07, 12:09 PM http://www.blackfilm.com/i3/movies/dvdreleases/dontmeamenace.jpg
My favorite movie and a cult classic. Debatable of whether its a "bad" movie.
SimpleTheater 05-03-07, 12:13 PM As an avid Coke drinker, I've would love The Coca Cola Kid
W/O a doubt, HD and the Marlboro Man!!! Is this scheduled? Which studio owns this one? I'd buy this title in a heart beat! MR and DJ were both good, but MR kicked azz in this one (in Sin City too). :cool: The bike was pretty cool for its time as well. Just thinking about that opening scene where he starts the bike gives me goose bumps! :D
I'll buy GR as well, just because that bike looked cool as well (the chic was hate too). :D
WotW is one I heard was kind of bad, but I look forward to getting it on BR.
Edit: Another really bad one I'd buy would be House Party, good stuff as well! :D

Poolrad 05-03-07, 02:58 PM Maximum Overdrive would be a cool one..

Sign me up for I Am My Own Grandpa as well. But what I've really wanted to see on DVD and now BD (or even HD-DVD) is Hamburger the Movie. The best format it was ever put out on was a Laserdisc in the late 80's. We got Midnight Madness on DVD, but still not this comedic gem. :(
sharkshark 05-03-07, 06:02 PM Citizen Kane
:)
Nah, the film that was recently announced as a Spec Ed. and I would totally buy if it has lossless audio and a decent transfer would be Flash Gordon.
SEMAJ92 05-03-07, 06:51 PM Frankenhooker
The Heavenly Kid

The Ladies Man
Death Warrant
Double Impact
The Punisher (Dolph Lundgren)
The Adventures of Ford Fairlane
Jiffylush 05-03-07, 10:51 PM The Punisher (Dolph Lundgren)
It says a lot when the version of a movie starring Dolph Lundgren is the more enjoyable one.

As long as we're talking bad movies, let's go all the way. I would buy a BD version of Plan 9 From Outer Space if anyone had the b**ls to put it out.

Rachel:
Queen of Outer Space-Is this the one with Zsa Zsa Gabor?
I Was A Teenage Werewolf - with Michael Landon?

I would love to see these three on HD! I remember Teenage Werewolf scaring the s..t out of me when I was a young boy. Something about all that drool.

Monoplex 05-05-07, 09:10 AM Clearly, I think we're all waiting for The Best Movie Ever Made: Cool as Ice none other than Vanilla Ice.
isaidme 05-05-07, 02:22 PM Goonies wasnt a bad movie to me but I could see where some might say it so. I dont even know if it would be a BR release or an HD-DVD one.
BassTek 05-05-07, 04:17 PM Resident Evil and Weekend at Bernie's.
TheCuze 05-05-07, 04:34 PM Just Spider-Man 3. Wow, did that movie suck or what?
Every year, when summer is almost upon us, I get the urge to watch:
Little Darlings (never hit standard DVD - I do still have the horrid Paramount LD, though)
Meatballs (coming on DVD, but BR was recently CANCELLED - damnit!)
Sharky's Machine (on DVD, but is pan & scan and looks like crap)
theforce8686 05-05-07, 05:11 PM Just Spider-Man 3. Wow, did that movie suck or what?
Im gonna say "or what". To me it was by far the best one of the three. I loved it.

Jiffylush 05-07-07, 07:54 PM How about
Joe vs. the Volcano
Rocket Man (Disney I think)
Rocket Man is so freaking funny, it is Harlan Williams at his best. I have it on DVD, would probably upgrade just so I could have another reason to watch it repeatedly.
theforce8686 05-07-07, 10:08 PM How about the Phantom or Deep Rising. I would enjoy those 2.
