Well, so bad it's good, is of course a relative subjective assessment (age of the Viewer), but here are my two cents of low budget
or very old productions relatively unknown:
- Godzilla, the Showa series
- Flash Gordon 1980 (Music by Queen , Freddie "....FLASH....ahahhhhaaaa...")
- Dark Star, John Carpenter 1974 (Existenitial philosophical dialog with a bomb, Space surf scene at the end).
- Kozure Okami all 70 TV episodes (Lone Wolf and Cub)
- All Jonathan Price (All Price Films are extremly subversive on all levels, and yet his play transcends things, a mastery of arts totally gone)
- Death Machine (a Brad Dourif show giving an anotherwise lame story extreme fire)
- Battle of the World (1961)
- Battle Star Galactica The Promised Land (1989) An absolute MUST, a film with no happy-end, because the Zylons sadly fail, but until then you can hate every single second and pray that THIS time the Zylons will disintegrate the Bonanza and everything on it, WON't happen though. But no other film let you hate so intensly for so long, because no other film to my knowledge contains such depth and detail in hatefulness than this masterpiece). I was 17 back then and hated it as intensly as now, strange isn't it ? Not for everyday's use, once or twice is sufficient but a MUST.
Sean Connery in Zardos, is unforgetable, the whole movie is done as one remembers a dream, fractured, some scenes shining on, fading, replaced by others, atleast it seems to me.
The scene with the free women wouldn't be tolerated anymore today of course, getting the Sexism label attached.
