Yahoo Movies Best Worst Films Ever
Think Hollywood blockbusters take themselves way too seriously nowadays? Miss the times when films had a sense of fun and charm? Think more movies need over-the-top dialogue, hammy acting and special effects that are less CGI and more B&Q?
Well, you're in luck. A whole series of films have recently embraced the hokey B-movies of the past with cheap special effects and actors who steadfastly refuse to act.
File under 'So bad they're awesome.'
'Birdemic'
Already hailed by many as the worst film of all time, 'Birdemic' is currently selling out in cinemas across the US. Why? How can you not see the appeal of amateur actors fending off badly computer-generated birds with coat hangers? Yes, you heard us right.
Think Alfred Hitchcock's 'The Birds' but with fewer scares and more unintentional laughs.

'Mega Shark Vs Giant Octopus'
Forget 'Snakes on the Plane', the greatest movie title of all time is 'Mega Shark Vs Giant Octopus.' And if you think the film can't be any better than its title, watch this and then come back and apologise.

'The Room'
Ah, 'The Room'. Tommy Wiseau thought he was writing, directing and starring in a harrowing drama about friendship and relationships. Instead, he made possibly the funniest comedy of the millennium. There are too many golden moments to list, but nothing tops Wiseau's intense delivery of the line "You're tearing me apart, Lisa!"
Still available to watch in some UK cinemas.

'Shark Attack 3: Megalodon'
Yup, more giant shark madness. But how could we not include a film that has John Barrowman saying the line, "We've got a 60ft shark swimming off our coast that's not going to go away."
And if that hasn't convinced you that this could be the greatest bad film of all time, check out Barrowman's infamous seduction technique on You Tube.
Seriously, how could you not want to watch this?

'Troll 2'
An oldie but definitely still worth a mention.
Whether it's the atmospheric synth beats or the overwrought dialogue — or possibly people turning into plants — 'Troll 2' is a camp classic. Especially with a line like, "They're eating her, and then they're going to eat me. Oh my godddddddddd."
