The Greatest Bad Movies of All Time book out August 12th

Movie News | Jul 8th, 2013

Who doesn’t love a good old fashion bad movie night! Troll 2, Garbage Pail Kids, Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter, Twilight etc…the list goes on and on. Film writer Phil Hall has compiled a book filled of bad movies and that book comes out August 12th from BearManor Media. Sounds like a fun book I wouldn’t mind skimming through. What are some really bad movies that you think are included in the book?

BearManor Media announces the release of The Greatest Bad Movies of All Time, the latest book by noted film writer Phil Hall. This new celebration of cinematic inanity will be available beginning August 12 for a suggested retail price of $21.95.

These are the films that inspire wonder – you are left wondering how seemingly intelligent people could gather together and spend money to create such bizarre productions. From A-list atrocities to Grade-Z zaniness, 100 of the most wonderfully warped anti-classics have been gathered together for this celebration of cinematic kookiness.

Relive the jaw-dropping spectacle of John Wayne as Genghis Khan, Halle Berry as Catwoman, Jack Palance as Fidel Castro, and Jerry Lewis as a Gore Vidal-inspired extra-terrestrial. Sing along with a naked Anthony Newley, tap your toes to a “Pennsylvania Polka” dance number in the middle of an unauthorized remake of A Streetcar Named Desire, watch a suicidal Elizabeth Taylor run amok in Rome and appreciate Coleridge’s poetry with topless women.

Hook up with Edward D. Wood Jr., Phil Tucker, Tommy Wiseau and their peers in the so-bad-they’re-good genre, and marvel at how cinema royalty including Stanley Kubrick, George Cukor, Michelangelo Antonioni and Clint Eastwood could conceive celluloid debacles of an unprecedented scale. When it comes to shock and awe, nothing compares to
The Greatest Bad Movies of All Time.
