My wife and I have been watching weird movies (usually bad) that become home Mystery Science Theater 3000 fests.

I'll start by mentioning The VelociPastor which was on an earlier thread.  The trailer can be found at:

I strongly recommend Idle Hands.

Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcVrp--9UUc

Anton Tobias is a lazy, video game playing, weed smoking high school slacker.  Unfortunately, an evil hand gets attached to his body that he cannot control.  The evil hand kills people.  His two slacker buddies (Seth Green of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Weird Al Yankovick Videos and Robot Chicken Fame) and the actor who ended up playing Foggy Nelson in the Netflix Daredevil series are the first to die.  They become druggie zombies.

This is the first appearance of Jessica Alba that I know of.  She is young and very, very hot.

The Offspring provide the soundtrack and play for the High School Dance.

My favorite scene is when the cowardly druggie pushes his unwilling large dog in front of him to explore a scary room - than and seeking advice on Satanism from the High School Metalheads.

This is actually a pretty well done movie with good special effects and a completely nutty premise.

Man, Jessica Alba, poster child for a career that somehow bombed completely. Wonder what happened. {checking}

Oh, she retired to be a happy Mom and start a business now valued nearly two billion dollars!

Never mind. Good for her!  8)

Idle hands was pretty good.

I have certain movies that I like to call Good/Bad

It's a bad movie but fuckit I enjoy it.

Some of these include the following

Hudson Hawk
They Live
Maximum Overdrive
Running Man
Killer Klowns from Outer Space
Tremors

Sure I'm missing more

They Live and Running Man are Good/Bad classics. I would dare to add Escape from New York to that list.

Nice list!  I consider both Hudson Hawk and Tremors to be classics, in a "so dumb/bonkers they're great" sort of way.

Idle Hands was one of the first movies she was legal in.  I loved her in Dark Angel.  Hated her as Sue Storm.  But that movie was just bad all around.  And not Good/Bad.

We love snippets of both Fantastic 4 movies.  They got the practical jokes and bickering between Johnny Storm (Chris Evans) and Ben Grim down pat - and those scenes were wonderful.  The rest of the movie, not so much. 

Jessica Alba looks much better as a brunette than a blonde.

Doctor Quest mentioned Deadpool in another thread but I think the Deadpool movies are too good to qualify here.

Agreed. Too good and too high budget.

Super would be a good modern good/bad movie.
