As many of you know, I'm a fan of "Margarita Movies," or - movies that are so bad that they're great.... and which a healthy dose of tequila helps "improve."  Why watch a bad movie when you could just watch a good one?  Well, I challenge you to find a big budget comedy as hilariously funny as "The Room" or "Poseidon."  So what are some of the Best  Worst Movies?  Here's a few I can't live without:


Xanadu - One of Zeus' nine daughters comes to Earth to inspire a frustrated painter to open a roller-disco palace with Gene Kelly.  Seriously, what's not to love about this plot?  To top it all off, you get an animated sequence featuring a bird in leg warmers.

The Room - The backstory on this film is almost as wonderful as the what's on film: men in tuxes "playing" football, a lead actor who looks like "Unfrozen caveman lawyer," characters who appear and disappear for no apparent reason, deliciously non-sequitor-esque lines like "I got the results of the tests back and I definitely have breast cancer!" and perhaps the most satisfying suicide by any character ever.

Ice Princess - Michelle Trachtenberg is an figure skating-loving math whiz who is shunned at school.  What's a nerd to do? Well, use physics to unlock the secrets to the perfect triple lutz, of course!  Of all the ridiculous ice skating movies out there, this has to be one of the silliest, especially given the overt message from a Disney film that being pretty and popular is better than being smart.  For God's sake, the tag line actually is, "She's going from scholastic ... to fantastic!"


The first 5 minutes of "Ghost Ship."

Mommie Dearest - Classic.

The Phantom of the Paradise - Truth is, you can't really go "right" with a DePalma film, but this 1970s rock opera featuring Paul Williams as the romantic lead is truly something special.
