To say I love movies would be an understatement. Since I was a kid, my dad would take my brothers and me to the movies at least once a month. During the summer, we'd go at least once a week.

Even now, when I have breaks coming up for school, my dad will call in advance and ask me which movies I want to see so we can see them together.

We have a closet full of DVDs and Blu-rays and boxes full of VHS' in the garage. My life has basically revolved around movies. And honestly, my favorite movies are bad movies.

Without further ado, here are some movies that are so bad they're good.

1. Tremors (1990)

Hands down my all time favorite movie! First of all, it has Kevin Bacon and Reba McEntire. Second of all, it's about giant monster worms that come out of the ground and eat people. It's so ridiculous and that's the point! It's a B movie that knows it's a B movie but still tries so damn hard. A nice nod toward 50s creature flicks. Do yourself a favor and watch it. (Also, there are about 4 more of these movies each one more ridiculous than the last.)

2. Vanishing on 7th Street (2010)

Literally, any movie that mentions Croatoan gets an A from me. I particularly like this one though because it is so messed up how some of the people end up disappearing. It's definitely a cheesy scary movie and the plot leaves quite a bit to be desired but it's quite a ride. The little girl at the end is my hero, though, even if it doesn't really make sense for her to have survived so long.

3. Deep Blue Sea (1999)


LL Cool J fights genetically modified sharks and I'm honestly laughing as I type this sentence. Not to mention, Samuel L Jackson yelling at said sharks. That's really all you have to know about this movie fully appreciate how bad it is.

4. You Got Served (2004)

This one is actually not supposed to be a scary movie! It's a dance movie from the early 2000's full of terrible one-liners and hairstyles. But some pretty decent dance moves? Well, at least they're better than the characters.

5. Doom (2005)

Did you know that the super iconic first-person shooter game which first came out in 1993 was adapted into a film featuring The Rock and Karl Urban? No? You do now. It's a beautifully cheesy movie with lots of gore and demon killing. Also, a pretty decent scene shot from first-person that manages to recreate the feel of playing a video game. Definitely, a must if only to reminisce about the time when The Rock still had some hair.


Look, none of these movies are what you would call cinematic masterpieces, but they are entertaining as hell. So grab some friends and some popcorn and watch some truly bad movies.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.

The dynamics of any friend group are usually determined by the personalities which make it up. Chances are, while personalities may overlap, each person in your friend group holds his or her own place. It is the differences which bring the groups together and keep them functioning.
