To keep things fresh, I thought maybe we'd start at the ends of the collections and work our way to the middle. The other thread has started off nicely with the 50's, so why don't we start mining for the best, most interestingly bad crap from 2000 to now. BJ had mentioned Uwe Boll's House of the Dead (2003), which I can't comment on having never seen it, but it certainly has it's supporters (in regards to it's badness). Again, I think the unintentionally bad but entertaining is the way to go for the list. Stuff that was made with b-sensibilities in mind (a concept that brings a joyful tear to my eye), like Bubba Ho-Tep and The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra probably could exist on their own, not in the Crapterion Collection.

For my money, I don't think the collection would be complete without The Room (2003). It's just fascinating to me in it's badness. Tommy Wiseau is an unintentional genius. So gimme some more...

The Core - 2003. It's a 50's sci fi B movie with a contemporary A movie cast and budget, played deadly serious, with some of the absolute worst science in the history of film, and I love it dearly. I fondly remember Bob and I going to see it at a matinee and being the only ones in the theater. Oh, how we heckled.

I dunno why, but I found the scene with Aaron Eckhart lifting the uranium (or plutonium) fuel rods with his bare hands to be pretty darn funny.

EDIT: I would highly recommend Dragon Ball: Evolution. The acting and script plumb depths of entertaining badness that few movies do.

A Sound of Thunder (2005) - A movie that sat unfinished (in terms of special effects) on the studio's shelf for a few years, then got dumped unceremoniously to theaters, still mostly unfinished. Even if it had been finished, though, there's nothing in the story that makes any sense whatsoever: the "time safari" company takes people back to one exact moment in prehistory, to kill one exact dinosaur over and over and over, but there's only ever one group there at a time. Why isn't that point just crowded with different safari groups (not to mentions doubles of the company employees who go on every trip)? The changes wrought to history occur gradually, via physical "time waves" that wash over the world and can be outrun (?!). The question of why they need to kill the dinosaur is glossed over by the main character saying, "I wish people were willing to pay for photo safaris, but they're just not!" (Because who would want to travel back in time if all they got to do was take pictures of living dinosaurs? You know, upon seeing them in person? Certainly not me!)

I'd totally pay money to travel back and time and punch a dinosaur.

In a field of giants, there are two who tower over all others like the demonic dragon-snake and giant Rastafarian werewolf they are: Dragon Wars: D-War and Battlefield Earth. Two cases where it really is a remarkable achievement just how many things they were able to get wrong. The latter was, until The Room, far and away the shortest span from box office release to B-Fest appearance, which should speak for itself on having been fast-tracked to the canon. And the former, man, it's the kind of insane that only an Asian monster movie can bring filtered through a big-budget American release with a clueless American cast and upwards of three layers of flashbacks. It makes sense at no point whatsoever, has an unnecessary tautological subtitle, features an omnipotent celestial dragon crying a single tear at the end, and somehow still manages to have the honest-to-goodness best Military vs. Dragons scene ever committed to film. It's an essential.

I have never been so glad to spend money on crap in my life than taking in Dragon Wars on the big screen.

Crank 2 may be the more insane, but it doesn't fly off the rails nearly as interestingly, or entertainingly, as Crank.

And when I wrote "Fly off the rails" I knew what else belonged: I Am Number 4.

EDITED TO ADD: The Halfway House (2004) - Direct to video gem with Mary Woronov.

Skyline: People you don't like or care about are trapped inside a highrise while alien invaders snatch up people. A bad movie worth checking out simply for the WTF ending, so bizarre of a left turn that one could only have hoped the movie-makers had started the story at that point and forgone the moronic actions in the previous ninety minutes.

The impression I got from Skyline was that somebody took the ten-minute opening cutscene to a God of War-style action game, made it live action, padded it out to two hours, and then didn't make the video game.

One of the best things in A Sound of Thunder is how utterly, completely wrong they get the science of evolution. It's like they read it in a pamphlet on creationism.

E-yeah...that ending. If the aliens are harvesting (Avoid spoiler), I'd like to know why. Whats the point? Why should they need to? I'm applying logic to this an you'd think I'd know better by now...

Nah. Anything in the literature will have the same effect.
My question is why allow such a Cause and Effect screwing tech to exist? We know what holodecks do on particular starships...and don't get me started on Trek Time Paradoxes...D'OH! I did it to myselves...

Hell, even if your only choice was to lick the dinosaur.

Boa Vs. Python (2004) is far and away my personal favourite from the 2000's

Certainly Uwe Bol has been the most prolific bad movie maker of the new millenium...some people call him today's Ed Wood...I disagree, Ed Wood's films were both entertaining and painful at times...Uwe Bol is just painful without the fun.

Dracula 3000 (2004) is one of the more infamous bad movies of the decade...and if you're a fan of that, going on the theme of movies containing "3000", Alien 3000 (2004) is also worth checking out. The great part of that film is the fact that it isn't even set in the year 3000, thus making the title pointless.

Sasquatch Hunters (2005) I think is also worth checking out.

I must say there certainly has been a revival of creature films...particularly taking two creatures and having them battle each other...most of the time I find the titles much more interesting than the movies themselves, but every once in a while you'll come across a hidden gem.

I must throw in Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2 into the mix.
