    I don't have a Netflix account so I can't login, but if Surf Nazis Must Die is one of the "Watch Now" movies, that's my nomination. My only fear is that it falls into a "It's so bad it's just bad" category, rather than it's so bad it's good.

    Hmmm, looks like a no. However, I did find this blog that lists all 2,000 +
    titles. I'll add it to the post for those without netflix

    Exorcist 2: The Heretic. You might as well just send me the gift certificate now...

    Hmmm, not a Netflix Watch now title, but if you insist I'll rent / review it
    :)

    There's so much absolute dreck on the Netflix "watch now" list that I wonder if it's more of a challenge to find the *good* movies among the garbage.

    That said, one title stands out that's both ridiculous and sublime: "Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte." Obviously not the worst "watch now" movie on Netflix, but a great movie that gets much of its greatness from its badness. Enjoy.

    Okay, added. hurr, the description is making me laugh.

    My Nomination is Stray Dogs....It also happens to be based on a very bad book as well!
  • webomatica · 1 year ago
    Added, our first genuine "watch now" title. Sounds horrid; looking forward
    to it
  • Podophile · 1 year ago
    Oops... Looks like "Hush, Hush..." isn't a watch now selection any more. I was using the list you linked to, which isn't up-to-date. I'll keep digging...

    Jase, I almost hate to do this to you, but I noticed "Brain of Blood" on that list (for non-Netflix subscribers to use). I would like to nominate this film, despite not having seen it.

    Synopsis: "Amir, the benevolent ruler of Kalid, is dying, but there is hope. Freshly deceased, he is flown to the United States where Dr. Trenton transplants his brain into the body of a simpleton in a classic "assistant got the wrong kind of body" plot line. Dr. Trenton has a few nefarious plot twists of his own in mind, and then there's the thing with the dwarf and the women chained in the basement."

    I apologize in advance.

    Cool, I was hoping you'd pick a flick. If there's a dwarf, that's a
    big advantage after that silly matthew maconaughey film I recently
    saw...

    Next time you do one of these, remind me to nominate Dude, Where's My Car?. I managed to suppress this movie from my memory, but someone posted an image from the movie and I remembered how terrible it was.

    Doesn't appear to be on the Netflix "Watch Now" list, but I don't have a Netflix account to check if it's been added since the list was compiled.

    If you want a really good laugh and a movie that is instantly viewable, then you should watch Gangland. Had me in stitches.

    We recieved a ROKU unit for Christmas. It's pretty swell...but I agree that some of the movies are...well...not as advertised. Here are 3 we recently watched...or at least sat through. "Vegas in Space". (This one is hard to describe) "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" (this one still has me baffled) and "Twister" (no...this is NOT the Helen Hunt "Twister")
  • webomatica · 9 months ago
    You have me intrigued by Don't Ask Don't Tell - especially since
    neflix adds the subtitle: Attack of the Gay Space Invaders... adding
    to the queue :)

    So, I'm new to reading this blog, and I don't know if you've seen this (it wasn't on your movies to not recommend), but Santa Claus Conquers the Martians is a classic awful movie.

    Also, it's not on instant, but do yourself a favor and watch Mac and Me. It's godawful on every single level, but is just as entertaining. (Imagine ET with a disabled kid in the lead and as many coke product placement as humanly possible)

    And Manos hands of Fate is the worst movie ever made. . . but I don't think there's a non MST3k version.
