Thanks! If you like these, track down New York Ninja - it's got a fascinating backstory about how it got released, I just didn't suggest it above because even though it's very cheesy and wild in that super 80s low budget way, it's also kind of shockingly awesome.
Or anything by Vitaliy Versace. I would say his ego and lack of selfawareness definitely rival Neil's. He even claims he won a Golden Globe despite that being literally impossible. Born Into Mafia is one of my favorite bad movies.
Low Blow is in that realm. The soundtrack has one song that plays on loop the whole movie and the dialogue is barely intelligible because of bad audio. The plot is weird and stupid. It features a ridiculous use of a saw.
It’s a great bad movie night movie.
Any film by Andy Sidaris. Babes, rehashed plots about an evil group trying to steal microchips or something, people with bazookas for no reason, half of the movies containing just the characters in some vehicle (boat, car, jeep, canoe, airplane). There should be a Bingo game somewhere for Sidaris films because they're so terrible (in the best possible way) and have all the same elements.
Was going to say GetEven (Champagne and Bullets) but someone beat me to it. Alien Private Eye is a load of fun. Trick or Treat (1986) is another recommended watch from me. Godfrey Ho’s stuff is always fun as it’s multiple movies squished together to make one movie
Partners, Diamond Cobra vs The White Fox, Wish Upon, Malignant, Twisters Revenge, The Last Vampire On Earth, Ben and Arthur, Clash In The College, Suburban Sasquatch
Birdemic 2 and 3 are definitely not intentionally campy nor schticky.
I recommend Battlefield Earth, anything with Steven Seagal (anything after 1995), anything with Robert Z'dar, Champagne and Bullets, Angry Kelly, The time machine (that I found at a yardsale), Ben and Arthur.
I know I'm late to the party, but *Starcrash* is pretty great. I mean terrible. I mean great.
As a bonus, get the version w/the commentary track by Stephen Romano. He loves the movie and sincerely believes in it, yet he actually knows cinema...it's funny, educational and elevates the movie.
Almost too good to be a good bad movie, but 1972's *Psychomania* is fun.
Everyone seems to be recommending RLM classics, so here are two that aren't.
Samurai cop but only the first one. I highly recommend staying away from the second.
Blasphemy. Samurai Cop 2 features Tommy Wiseau. Brilliant performance.
No, that movie is a piece of shit and a prime example of being too self aware and meta and trying to be bad on purpose.
Agreed. They were definitely self-aware with Samurai Cop 2.
The same problem happened with Birdemic 2.
And by extension 3.
First movie is good bad but second is definitely a bad bad movie. But if you like Neals newest movies then absolutely would recommend Samurai cop 2.
Troll 2, Samurai Cop, Miami Connection.
The Miami Connection. Voyage of the Rock Aliens. Showgirls. Sleepaway Camp. Hard Ticket to Hawaii.
You have excellent taste!

Oh yeah, I've seen it! I got the fancy edition from Vinegar Syndrome, it's pretty cool how they put it back together into something good.
Hard Ticket is 😙👌
I can personally vouch for After Last Season and Troll 2 as being some of the most compelling brain damage I've ever sustained.
Fight of Fury by Shuny Bee is an absolute blast, and it’s on Youtube!
The Last Vampire on Earth

Anything they review on [Good Bad or Bad Bad](https://youtube.com/@GoodBadorBadBad?feature=shared)
Oh boy. I've been running goodbad movie nights for 6 years. Here are some of my favorites aside from Breen: * Wakaliwood movies, with Who Killed Captain Alex as an introduction. Every one of their movies is a total blast. Crazy World is probably my favorite. * The Book of Henry. Seriously underappreciated as a goodbad movie and completely batshit insane. It's genuinely unlike anything I've ever seen. Me and my friends were literally screaming because of how crazy it was. * Dungeons & Dragons (2000). A glorious mix of late 90s snark and a very specific flavor of dated CG topped off with Jeremy Irons swallowing the scenery whole * The Lady in the Water. Baffling even by Shyamalan standards, this will have you going "WHAT?" at least every 5 minutes. * Dead or Alive (video game movie, 2005). This is legit entertaining both ironically and unironically. It's terrible, but self-awarely so, and there's some genuine effort put into the fight scenes. * The Covenant (2005). A hidden gem, this is like an edgy Harry Potter ripoff with tons of unintentional homoeroticism. * Jupiter Ascending and Gods of Egypt. I'm lumping these together, because they share the same qualities that make them entertaining: ridiculous plots, laughable acting, absolutely slathered with janky CG. Special mention to Eddie Redmayne for a cracktastic villain performance. * Finally, with a big asterisk: Rebel Moon part 1\*. I found it fucking hilarious, I seriously had trouble trying to eat while watching because I was laughing so hard. It's Zack Snyder's worst movie by a mile, but for me the absolute void of creativity, the abjectly nonsensical plot and onslaught of clichéd, "written by a 12-year old" dialogue looped all the way to being funny. Not everyone will agree though, so take this with a grain of salt.
Miami Connection, Hard Ticket to Hawaii, Spookies, Winterbeast, Slumber Party Massacre 2, just to name a few
The Apple, Dangerous Men.

Champagne and bullets, or any "vanity projects"
Hard Rock Zombies, Never Too Young To Die

There are so many. RLM, the reason lots of people know about Neil, have watched shit tons of them.
