When Beth dumps Lane, he decides to kill himself, making bumbling attempts at suicide.

Idiocracy 😀
Snakes on a Plane
Phil The Alien
“Phil is an extraterrestrial with shape-shifting ability and telekinetic powers. After crash-landing in Northern Ontario, Phil befriends a red neck child, his father, and a talking beaver as he wanders the Canadian wilderness. Phil is soon introduced to the trappings of small town northern Ontario and adopts the persona and mannerisms of a stereotypical Canadian small town alcoholic while hiding from the ineffectual and mentally traumatized military general who is trying to capture him.”
I’m just impressed that Im not the only one who’s seen this movie. I own one of the (probably) few remaining DVDs.
Mars Attacks
I don’t know if this counts as bad. It was an excellent movie, intentionally camp. And it worked
Volcano or Dante’s Peak. Both are fun and bad in their own way
Rubber

Funny that, I just started a collection of entertainingly bad movies. We’re at 100+ already. Highlights thus far include
Zardoz - Sci-fi Sean Connery in a future diaper.
Magic Magic - Horror movie Michael Cera.
Troll 2 - A Troll movie entirely bereft of trolls.
Showgirls - Stripper Nicholas Cage as played by Jesse from Saved by the Bell.
Critters 3 - Leonardo DiCaprio’s film debut.
Breakin’, Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo, AND Rappin’ - no explanation needed.Cocaine Bear.
From the top of my head:
Ice Pirates
Nooooo, this has been on my to-watch-list for 40 years.
Ruined. 😂
