I've noticed some people think movies like Mommie Dearest (1981) and Showgirls (1995) are actually good because they enjoy them. I don't know if I agree. For me, something like Scream for Help (1984) is a fun, but clearly not a good movie.
Do you consider a movie bad if you enjoy it?

There are many ways in which a movie might be "bad" - meaning that its flaws ultimately outweigh its virtues. A movie and can well written but poorly acted, poorly written but well acted, well directed but poorly written, well written but poorly directed, on to infinitely. The kind of movie experience I consider my personal worst is when you grudgingly watch to the end, only to be annoyed or disappointed yet again. THE ENGLISH PATIENT comes to mind - just good enough to get through but unbearable in retrospect. Something you'd rather burn than have to watch again.

Something can be amusing BECAUSE it's bad. Like The Room.

MOMMIE DEAREST and SHOWGIRLS were big studio productions made by teams of highly talented people. They are both undeniably good in terms of talent, if not the best iteration of that talent.

Arlington Road. Terrible movie, but riveting.

I really enjoy Mallibu's Most Wanted but I'm still not sure if it's a good movie or not.

A sign of maturity is doing what you want, what you enjoy without asking other people if it is all right

If you can't figure this out OP, just stick to Golden Girls.

Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde. Tim Daly, Sean Young, Harvy Fierstein and Polly Bergen. Terrible movie by objective standards, but lots of fun.

Good or bad are thought of by how well crafted the movie.
There are many movies that are objectively bad movies, but still you can find them entertaining.

I know I’ll get hate for this, but Titanic is a BAD film with dialogue that sounds like it was written by John Waters. However, the actors are too good for it to be campy enough for me to enjoy. They somehow make lines like “A woman’s heart is a deep ocean of secrets” and “Jack - I want you to draw me like one of your French girls” sound credible enough to be awkward, but not funny.

I watched Titanic for the beautiful, mostly accurate set, and then for the period costumes. The story line was unbelievable, and grossly out of tune with the time period. A steerage passenger allowed to dine in first class? Sure Jan.

Bad movies can be good fun.

All art is subjective. If I enjoy the film and can’t wait to rewatch sometime in the future, I see it as a good film.

R1 I'm always startled when people say they didn't like The English Patient. It just shows different tastes I guess. I think it is amazing, and I don't consider myself one who always understands art. I watched it on video with a guy I was dating, at his apartment. I think he didn't like it. I was so moved to see a couple so deeply in love. I realized I didn't love, let alone like, the guy I was with. I let the relationship go.

R19 wow. Cra cra motherfucker! I think the guy was the lucky one to get away from you. I can’t love you because you didn’t frau out to my fav romance movie. I bet you’re single a lot

That English Patient episode on Seinfeld was hilarious.
Other than that, I'm like Rachel: Weekend At Bernie's might be a bad movie, but I enjoyed it when I watched it. Ok, I was 12.
