As an aficionado of bad movies, I agree that there is more to a bad movie than just low review scores. Entertaining bad movies need a certain something to them. The worst kind of movie is a dull and boring one.

The 'best' bad movies are hard to quantify. I certainly can't think of any 'good' bad movies that planned or aimed to be regarded as bad. As another commenter said, you need the creators to believe that they were making something worthwhile...

Try a movie like Bad Taste which for years I recommended as it's so bad it's good: "I'm a Derek and Dereks don't run". You can imagine my surprise years later when they announced the director for LotR.

I would be interested to see how its rating has changed over time.
