<p>The nuttiest, craziest and most obscene movies to have ever existed</p>
Cult & Bizarre & Psychedelic: A Personal Guide
<p>This is merely a personal guide for the bizarre and weird stuff I've been watching or want to watch in the future. It is not based or inspired on any book nor does it have a specific theme. If you're into these kind of flicks, have fun finding new titles.</p>
<p>The worst of the worst, movies that are unbelievably bad and find a way to dig themselves further and further down in quality. An exercise in misery to complete. Have fun.</p><p>Feature films only. No shorts, or anything that runs under 40 minutes and doesn't fit the barest criteria of a "film". If there's anything that looks wrong please let me know.</p><p>I have decided that the minimum amount of views a film needs to be on the list is 500, a middle-ground between the understanding that a list like this should represent the community as a whole, and the understanding that nobody should really watch these.</p><p>My current percentage seen is 10%. Anyone above 0% loses.</p>
The Bad Taste List. Weird, wild, psychotronic cult classics, so-bad-they're-good, and... some of the worst movies EVER.
<p>(Last updated: 10/22/2026)</p><p>Feeling like your Letterboxd ratings graph is not evenly-distributed enough? Look no further, friends. Some of these films could help boost those numbers on the lower end of the ratings scale... enjoy! On the opposite end of the scale are some genuinely weird and wonderful films - by David Lynch, John Waters, Ken Russell, Anna Biller, Peter Jackson and others... as well as bad films by great directors, including Steven Spielberg, Woody Allen, and Ingmar Bergman, questionable Best Picture Oscar winners... but all interact with the hegemony of "taste" provocatively.</p><p>A friend asked why I would include genuinely great films like <i>Night of the Living Dead</i>, <i>Eraserhead</i> and <i>The Thing</i> in this list. The answer is simply that many of these films that are now considered great were once thought of as mere drive-in schlock, or at the very least (in the case of The Devils, surely) in poor taste. I think those films help complicate the notion of what makes a film good or bad... especially when one is looking at the technical side of a production. For instance, <i>Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close</i> (2011), a post 9/11 film directed by Stephen Daldry, featuring classy, top-of-the-line production credits, as well as a cast that included Tom Hanks, Sandra Bullock, Max von Sydow and Viola Davis -- and nominated for Best Picture by the Academy -- how could THAT movie go wrong? But many critics at the time would argue it did, quite spectacularly.</p><p><i>Showgirls</i> (1995) might be the best example of a film that was pilloried during its initial release but over time has not only found a devoted cult following, but also a number of critics and filmmakers who feel its a good or even a great film, including the late Jacques Rivette, who called it a work of “great sincerity.”</p><p>Films fall in and out of favor, are disreputable one day, and find themselves on the National Film Registry many years later (<i>Night of the Living Dead</i>, <i>Eraserhead</i>).</p><p>Similarly, films that were once heralded as Best Pictures of their respective years by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences now seem painfully old-fashioned (<i>Cavalcade</i>, <i>Going My Way</i>), offensive (<i>The Birth of a Nation</i>, <i>Forrest Gump</i>) and just downright bad (<i>Broadway Melody</i>, <i>Crash</i>).</p><p>So, in the end, this list is a bit of a provocation, and may be summarized by the saying "one man's trash is another man's treasure."</p>
