10 Rubbish, Must-See Movies

Not in any particular order, here are 10 movies that, for various reasons, you should watch in your life time, even though, they are "rubbish"  in their own ways. (Though, might I add that you will probably still enjoy some of these though they are technically "bad" movies)

10. She's the Man.
Basically, A girl who wants to play football (or soccer if you prefer) can't because her school cut the girl's team... so she poses as her brother at his new boarding school while he goes to London to work on his music... (he has no idea she has done this).. and then basically it's all about how she wants to play football and then gets to hang around hot guys while pretending to be one.
This film is a typically Amanda Bynes comedy where a lot of stupid things happen and eventually she gets the guy. This shouldn't be a good movie...
But it is... and it is so so so so funny. I have seen this movie too many times, and yet every time I watch it, the jokes are just as hilarious as the previous times. Also, it's worth mentioning that Channing Tatum stars in it and is very hot. Very very hot. It is definitely a movie that will cheer you up and doesn't need much concentration... watch it with friends and a tub of Ben & Jerry's and you're good to go.

9. Carry On Movies
Anyone who knows the Carry On movies knows that they are very silly and immature... and absolutely hilarious.
Full of innuendo's and sleazy men lusting after girls with massive boobs... and full on British comedy.
Each Carry On film is set around a different time or theme (Carry On Henry- Tudor Times, Carry On Cruising - On a boat etc... ) but every single movie has a loose plot line... that usually involves Sid James' laughing... and Kenneth Williams trying to fight off Hattie Jacques.
If you haven't got time to see them all, then the ones i recommend are Carry On Doctor and Carry On Camping.

8.The Blue Lagoon
Starring a young Brooke Shields and some other guy, this film is the cringiest and weirdest movie I have ever seen in my life. Technically, it isn't a good movie really... but it is a must-see! just because it is painfully bad and so so so funny (for the wrong reasons).
It is effectively about a boy and a girl going through puberty on a desert island after they end up there when their boat crashes when they are younger. The whole film they are pretty much naked and just say cringey things.. a lot happens, but at the same time, nothing happens.
Definitely watch it all the way through, but remember... it will be shit all the way through.


7.Bring It On
A film about cheerleaders.
I'm pretty sure there are about 5 of them?
They are all about the same thing. They are completely rubbish and usually about occasionally bitchy girls who like cheerleading, but they are a "feel-good" type of movie and you should probably watch them before you die. The good team nearly always wins their competition.. and if they don't then they learn something valuable about friendship or love along the way. *sigh*




6. Pete's Dragon
A Disney movie about a kid with a dragon that is invisible to everyone else but him. They sing to each other and shit and the dragon is poorly animated (though it is kinda old).. but it's kind of a sweet movie. The kid has a bowel-cut which adds super-cuteness to the whole movie and then there are some weird adults but I'm not really sure how they are related to Pete as I never really paid attention enough when I watched it as a kid. All I do know is that there is a song at the beginning called "I love you too" which the kid and the dragon sing to each other and it will change your life. OK, I joke, the song is awful, but just like the movie, it's so bad it's good.


5. Monty Python
These movies aren't really bad at all, they are COMIC GENIUS!
... but they are very silly and strange with no real "plot" to them..

and they have to go on this list just so I can grab your attention.

If you cant handle too much weirdness then I wouldn't recommend The Meaning of Life.. perhaps start with the Life of Brian, which is incredibly funny and odd. All movies contain mostly the same cast.... Eric Idle, Michael Palin, John Cleese etc...  all are very very funny and very.. errrr... British?
Just watch them - you won't be sorry!



4. Grease 2
This has nothing on the first movie and it is absolutely awful but you have to watch it just because of the cheesy songs and because Michelle Pfeiffer is in it and probably regrets it.. so we can all laugh at her foolish decision ;)
The songs are poor, as is the story-line but I say you should watch it anyway.. because let's face it... we all want to know what happens in this one since in the last one the car randomly decided to fly at the end... anything could be possible for Grease 2, right?
Also, Frenchy is in it again so it just adds more awesome to a really really bad movie.





3. Twilight Films
First I need to say, I have nothing against the people that do like them, but I really HATE these movies (used to love the books when I was like.. 14?).
I blame Stephanie Meyer for part of this hate... but mostly I just have something about the way that Catherine Harwicke directs the first movie - in an incredibly awkward and weird design with a bad and cheesy script. Edward and Bella make me want to be physically sick... nonetheless you should probably see them all since they have become very very famous movies, though in my opinion are completely overrated....
If you can't bear all of them, then you only need to watch one, and if you are going to watch any of them then I suggest the third one as it is the most bearable..

2. Team America
I think this movie was purposely meant to be rubbish in order to be funny, which is why I have put it in this list ... but I actually think it is very clever.. in an odd way.
The whole film is done with puppets, in a Thunderbirds sort of way.... and in short, is about a group of people who are known as 'Team America' who are a kind of 'Super' team without the powers... I guess you could call them "agents" .. anyway, they basically save the world from terrorists and other bad people, but in doing so cause destruction to everything else. They then hire an actor to pose as a terrorist and he joins their team and then a bunch of stuff happens.
The movie is hilarious, but not for everyone... I would definitely say give it a try though! It is a MUST SEE MOVIE.

1. Beastly
This definitely goes in my list of top ten worst films ever... which I should probably make a separate list for...
Anyway, this is a relatively new movie starring Alex Pettyfer and that girl out of High School Musical (which is another movie that should have gone on this list..), Vanessa Hudgens. It's basically about a popular kid who turns ugly and then a nerdy girl from school comes to live with him and then nothing really happens.
This is a must-see movie because it is painfully bad. I mean, really cheesy (and not in the good cheese, guilty-pleasure kind of way...) and really really disjointed, poorly scripted and just laughable. Of all the movies on this list, this is the one that is on here for actually being an actually shit film....
just... awful.
Yeah, so you have to watch it because you wont be able to see how bad it is until you do :)



 ....Aaaaaaand that's it!
I probably have loads more but these are the 10 that I can think of right now :)
