@Pin - your answer to #6 indicates that you are probably not as enamored with this one as everyone was back in the day (which is good for the sake of what I'm trying to accomplish). It's also very difficult to find "mediocre" movies that elicit a "laughing" response, but I think this is a solid recommendation.



Face/Off is a 1997 American action film directed by John Woo, written by Mike Werb and Michael Colleary, and starring John Travolta and Nicolas Cage. Travolta plays an FBI agent and Cage plays a terrorist, sworn enemies who assume each other's physical appearance.

David Schmader of The Stranger wrote that "to say that Miami Connection is bad is a crushing understatement. Miami Connection is so bad it makes Tommy Wiseau's The Room look like Wild Strawberries" and that "but out of this tragic mess of failure and incompetence, a distinctly sweet spirit emerges. Its source is the cumulative gameness and good sportsmanship of everyone involved in Miami Connection, which is drenched in a goofy joy that is contagious."

 

I think I made a thread about my top ten best worst movies... figured I'd share my pain a little.

@Wyote - not the worst of the worst (I think the movie is pretty brilliant, actually), very funny:



Hal Hinson of The Washington Post called the film "stone-dead bad, incoherently bad", but said that Cage's overacting must be seen to be believed.

Among other things, viewers cite the film's cryptic and incomprehensible plot, poor production values, overt political messages, stilted dialogue, and bizarre and unnatural performances as well as Breen's real-life eccentricities as part of the film's ironic appeal.

 

Added trailers for all recommended movies for your viewing pleasure...

 

It transcends other bad movies in a surreal, inexplicable way... I've seen most of his movies (and many of them are very hard to find). Fateful Findings is probably the only movie of his one really needs to see to get the idea...

I especially enjoy that he often plays hackers that surround themselves with laptops, as if he is using all of them at the same time... sometimes he has like 7 laptops on his desk.

He is also selling a "retrospective" of his movies for $160: http://neilbreen-5films.com/

I have some bizarre attraction to director/writers that are extremely eccentric and have no self-awareness... and it ends up just seeping into their movies, creating some sort of self-serving work that makes no sense.

 

Make sure to not get too good, otherwise Neil Breen will never cast you
