    What's "YOUR" Bad Movie?

    I think we all have that movie from youth that we'll admit isn't particularly good. There are a few of those on my list that I recognize the acting may be shoddy, the effects are laughable, animation is poor, or the storyline falls apart with any level of scrutiny, but it's still "MY" movie. I still love it, despite all the flaws, whether because it reminds me of happier times or it simply feels good.

    I've taken time to introduce my daughter to some of these movies, and I'm proud of her actually taking a liking to any of them. One of the key ones that I didn't expect her to care about was "We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story".

    There's no two ways about it. This movie is INCREDIBLE. No plot holes, no cliches, no continuity errors, every scene and every song and every moment is just... *chef's kiss*. This movie has EVERYTHING. You want a t-rex golfing and befriending a small bird? Got it. How about a villain whose name is so perfectly on the nose it's clearly not satire? Nailed it. A scene of dinosaurs riding around on cars, using pickup trucks as a skateboard? Heckin' A, brother.

    This movie is a masterpiece, start to finish. Sit down and enjoy with your kids or alone, and when you get done, ask yourself... Do you wanna hot dog? Or do you wanna HAWT DAWG?!

    I've been wanting to answer this question since you posted it but I just haven't been able to figure out how. I think in this moment my answer would be Super Troopers. Has it all aged well? I think it's aged better than many of the other raunchy comedies of its time. Definitely better than EuroTrip or American Pie. And it's so quotable. But was it ever really a "bad" movie? I think it played to its strengths and successfully avoided over-indulgence into special effects (are there any?) and just stuck to the jokes and simple plot. It's sitting at 7/10 on Imdb so yeah probably not considered a bad movie.

    The worst movie I think I ever saw was Adam Sandler's Going Overboard, and I've never successfully made it through a second time. So can't count that either because there's just no fondness.

    Doing some searching on imdb did lead me to some candidates though. Batman & Robin is sitting at a 3.8/10 but you better believe I love it every time.

    And how could I forget Spice World? Just watched the original VHS earlier this year
