Bad movies that are still great fun

Anyone ever hear of Dark Star? It was written by the the guy who wrote Alien (Dan O’Bannon) and directed by John Carpenter and features three astronauts and a beach ball, I mean alien, on a space ship. I think it’s pretty fantastic.

Yeah I have it in my DVD collection. It's amazing what you can do on a low budget.



Probably will look awful on blu-ray but it got released on it




First movie of George Lucas also comes to mind, getting more relevant today :/



Not bad movies, student movies on low budget.

Absolutely. But some people can’t separate budget from quality and just think they made bad choices as film makers. I think the beach ball is perfect as they knew they didn’t have a budget and wore that shoestring on their sleeve with that character. 

Are you familiar with a band called Pinback? They got their name from O’Bannon’s character (quite an amazing character, btw) and they use audio cues in their songs and even Talby gets his own song. That’s actually how I heard about the film. I can tell you it’s an absolutely amazing experience to watch the movie after listening to the albums for years and hundreds of playthroughs.
