Rocketship X-M (1950,  Unrated)
Rocketship X-M
Well, this film went from bad to worse. The ending! Wasn't good! Very good MST3k version though, definitely check it out if you can

Los Nuevos Extraterrestres (The Pod People) (The Unearthling) (1983,  Unrated)
Los Nuevos Extraterrestres (The Pod People) (The Unearthling)
This wasn't as bad as it could have been. Strange, strange case of dubbing with the young boy in this, to the point of distraction really. Otherwise it was watchably laughable, and the techniques weren't too bad.
I saw the MST3k version, again, highly recommended. Host segments=very funny indeed

War of the Colossal Beast (Revenge of the Colossal Man)(The Terror Strikes) (1958,  Unrated)
War of the Colossal Beast (Revenge of the Colossal Man)(The Terror Strikes)
THE funniest MST3k I've seen so far. Joel had me crying as a reporter from KTLA. The film itself wasn't too bad. Not very actiony though, could have done with a lot more squashing and a little less being tied up all the time

Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (1964,  PG)
Santa Claus Conquers the Martians
As a kid, I probably would have loved this. Watching it at 20, I was bored but mainly bemused. It was quite special in that literally every single character was annoying
5
Manos, the Hands of Fate (1966,  Unrated)
Manos, the Hands of Fate
I was actually quite surprised by this film (not pleasantly, that's pushing it). As THE worst film of all time according to the Bible that be imdb, I was expecting a LOT of crap. I was accosted, certainly, but if it wasn't for the remarkably boring first 1/4 of the movie where literally *nothing* happens, I probably would have watched it all the way through even without MST3k
6
Mitchell (1975,  R)
Mitchell
A gross, nasally policeman who does things 'outside the book' (read: badly) accidentally does some things related to actual policing. He kills a lot of people, all rather needlessly. There's a guy in a helicopter at the end who was really awesome, but he got shot. His screentime was probably about 30 seconds but I preferred him waaaay more to Mitchell.
7
Santa Claus (1959,  Unrated)
Santa Claus
What a strange, strange idea
8
Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie (1996,  PG-13)
Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie
This made me laugh muchly. I just wish you could buy it in this stupid country!
9
Laserblast (,  PG)
Laserblast
The title 'Laserblast' is really quite misleading. I was hoping for space travels, with lots of shooting and rescuing, and maybe one reeealy evil bad guy who does a load of evil stuff then dies. What I got was a kid who was frustratingly annoying, who found a laser that had some significance of some kind, I don't know what.
10
Revenge of the Creature (1955,  Unrated)
Revenge of the Creature
Odd ending. It takes about 40 minutes for the creature to break free and start some good ol' fashioned wreaking, and then he gets caught down the road a bit. Some action would have been good
11
Father Frost (Morozko) (1964,  Unrated)
Father Frost (Morozko)
Another film I wouldn't have seen/heard of if it wasn't for MST3k.
The film was kinda neat: if I were a kid, I would've loved it. It had witches and frozen robins in it --> top stuff.
Also, very funny episode of Mystery Science Theatre.
12
L' Uomo puma (The Puma Man) (1980,  Unrated)
L' Uomo puma (The Puma Man)
Just saw the MST3k version, and I gotta say this was one of the better movies playing. (Is that saying much?) Even if the guys at the front weren't there I still would have laughed at a lot of this movie: the falling/flying "SFX" in this film really, really suck. So much so I can't even be bothered to think of a smart adjective. So yes, unintentionally amusing, don't bother with the real version though.
13
Werewolf (1995,  R)
Werewolf
This was pretty dire. Not only was it really, really dark throughout, the sound was awful too! I couldn't hear the actors half the time, which some may count as a blessing. I saw the MST3k version which is the only reason I watched it to the end. Even then I feel they picked an easy target.
14
Merlin's Shop of Mystical Wonders (1995,  Unrated)
Merlin's Shop of Mystical Wonders
How was this a PG?! As a kid I would spent the whole hour and a half crying. Not as bad as I was expecting, it was certainly entertaining enough.
15
Squirm (1976,  R)
Squirm
Again, saw this on MST3k, but this was one I probably would have sat all the way through anyway. It was nowhere near brilliant yet it was strangely watchable. Because I have seen the MST3k version though, I will explode if I don't say "Mr. Beardsley?!"
16
Danger: Diabolik (1968,  PG-13)
Danger: Diabolik
I'm immediately surprised this was made in 1968, I would have said the '80s at least!
I actually kinda liked this movie. I loved the way it looked, (didn't realise it actually was based on a comic-I like comic book adaptations) and let's face it the dude was cool.
And it has the added bonus of getting me all nerdy when I realised it was the inspiration for the video of my favourite Beastie Boys song. And it's the last ever MST3k, so the show had some good moments too
17
The Lost Continent (1968,  G)
The Lost Continent
Rock climbing, friends
18
Hobgoblins (1988,  R)
Hobgoblins
This is worse than Manos. It's far, far more embarrassing at any rate
19
Monster A Go-Go (1965,  Unrated)
Monster A Go-Go
...There was no monster
20
The Phantom Planet (1961,  Unrated)
The Phantom Planet
Don't even go there, man
21
Soultaker (1990,  R)
Soultaker
The idea was not too bad, but the characters sucked on toast. I wanted them to lose their souls in the end
22
Last of the Wild Horses (1948,  Unrated)
Last of the Wild Horses
This was really boring, with really grating characters. I don't even know if 'grating' is a personality trait, but it's terribly fitting. To be honest, I only asked for this film to be added so I could put it in my MST3k list :$
23
Tormented (1960,  Unrated)
Tormented
This could have been so much worse. A dude kills (by failing to save) his mistress, and then kills some more people to avoid detection. It's been done, but it's fairly watchable if you have nothing else to do of an afternoon
24
Space Mutiny (1999,  PG-13)
Space Mutiny
Beef fizzlesteak tries to save the 'hot' 40-something whilst people fall from railings a lot. You know how in some computer games, you can only kill certain enemies in certain ways? In this film, a henchman isn't dead unless he's toppled over a railing
25
The Clonus Horror (1979,  R)
The Clonus Horror
I love this movie. I love it because it was the first MST I ever did see, I love it because the characters are so very nice-but-dim, and I just love the feel to it. This is the film that's suing 'The Island', so if you liked that you could try checking this out.
26
Devil Doll (1964,  Unrated)
Devil Doll
Firstly, this movie is overlong and slow. This is almost entirely due to The Great Virelli taking five minutes to drawl out one sentence. Saying that, I loved his OTT character, with his staring eyes and love of ham.
I saw this on MST (comedy), and was freaked out, even with constant riffing. I HATE ventriloquist dolls. There's one bit where he lunges and my hatred of them was renewed once again. Thanks, Hugo.
27
The Projected Man (1967,  Unrated)
The Projected Man
Bryant Haliday is good, isn't he? I've never seen such ham in one actor. I'm sure at the time he actually believed he *was* the projected man. This film is dull for 3/4, then it picks up. I have a soft spot for the oh-so-delightful cockneys near the end.
28
Fuga dal Bronx (Bronx Warriors 2) (Escape 2000) (1983,  R)
Fuga dal Bronx (Bronx Warriors 2) (Escape 2000)
Henry Silva scared me in this film. Psychopathic is right, he laughed evilly where no evil laugh was required. Something else that freaked me out (but not as much as Silva's cold, cold eyes) was the fact they used flamethrowers. Gruesome.
29
Il Raggio infernale (Nest of Spies) (Danger!! Death Ray) (1967,  Unrated)
Il Raggio infernale (Nest of Spies) (Danger!! Death Ray)
A scientist has a cool laser beam, therefore there was no need for this film to be as torturously bad as it was. I didn't watch it to the end
30
The Black Scorpion (1957,  Unrated)
The Black Scorpion
I do love stop-start animation ^-^ This wasn't too bad, as long as there was a scorpion on screen.
31
The Brain That Wouldn't Die (1962,  Unrated)
The Brain That Wouldn't Die
The head was so pretty! If I were just a head I'd look like scum on a plate, but she really pulled it off, good for her.
The film was actually pretty entertaining. A strong male character is rude to everyone whilst keeping his decapitated girlfiend's head alive, and a strong female character is pissed she's being kept alive. She's just a head but she still 'wins'. I loved it, especially her. In fact, I can safely say my favourite female character from the 1960s is a head on a tray
32
The Screaming Skull (1958,  Unrated)
The Screaming Skull
I would have loved to have been alive in the '50s. I adore gimmicks, you see, and this one offers free coffins.
There was one moment where a skeleton floats out if a wardrobe; I was running for the door, it scared the bejeesus out of me. Otherwise it's a bit sloow
33
Sadko (The Magic Voyage of Sinbad) (1953,  PG)
Sadko (The Magic Voyage of Sinbad)
The episode of MST which featured this has one of the best host segments ever. I couldn't breathe for the final segment.
The film itself is surprisingly boring. I normally appreciate all 'kids' films, but this would not have made me sit still in my seat.
34
Tangents (Time Chasers) (1994,  PG-13)
Tangents (Time Chasers)
The science in this film was terrible. Big massive huge SPOILER now, but one of the versions of him gets shot. And it was the more future version of him than the other version existed. Why didn't the other one die? Anyway, this film was a pile of poo. MST3k made very easy work of this one
35
Boggy Creek 2 - and the Legend Continues... (1985,  PG)
Boggy Creek 2 - and the Legend Continues...
Oh no! The thing we came looking for is after us!
The poster for this film is laughably misleading. It's not about werewolves. It's not even about any monster! The creature doesn't attack anyone! Sorry for the spoiler there, but you'd be wasting your time with this film if you're after action. Saying all that though, I hate action, so this was kinda tolerable.
36
Gamera tai daiakuju Giron (Attack of the Monsters)(Gamera vs. Guiron) (1969,  Unrated)
Gamera tai daiakuju Giron (Attack of the Monsters)(Gamera vs. Guiron)
The poster is cooler than the film

Gamera tai Shinkai kaijū Jigura (Gamera vs. Zigra) (1971,  Unrated)
