The Worst 80s Movies, Movies Beginning with B

I want the absolute worst movies from the 80s, and please tell me why you thought they were the worst movies. Of course, some movies are so bad their good. I don't agree with all the suggestions here. This page goes against what I really believe in, but I think everyone needs to vent a little.

Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend / 1985
As if I have to tell you that a movie about a prehistoric dinosaur BABY discovered in the 80's is going to suck worse than a prostate exam. This fine piece of cinema should give you a fair indication of why Sean Young's career went down the toilet FAST. The worst rubber dinosaur you ever saw in your life.
Babycakes / 1989
This stinker stars Ricki Lake as a mortician who falls for a svelte ice skater, played by Craig Schiffer. It was done 12 years later (and better) in "Head Over Heels." Besides, the way she stalks him couldn't be legal in any state! This film was so bad, I shut it off 45 minutes into it. Yuck! Avoid this movie!
Middle-aged Frankie & Annette, from those lame '60's beach flicks, reunite in this 1987 travesty featuring a punk rock son & daughter. Filled with cameos of washed up '60's celebrities and outdated jokes/lingo that wouldn't make a good film. Even cameos of ska band Fishbone & PeeWee Herman doens't make this enjoyable. If you want a '60's flash back, I'd recommend the original '60's beach films instead.
I don't want to watch a movie where an old dude (Doc Brown or the principal) have relations with a high schooler (Marty) and go back in time with a DMC. How stupid is that!!! This entire thing is obviously a metaphor for homosexual tendencies!!
Take Bob Dylan and The Heartbreakers (forget about Tom Petty), and the maker of Miami Vice and you get...ta-da! Yes! Band of the Hand. Oh, yes, I forgot to mention a very young actress named Lauren Holly and also a young Laurence Fishborne (he may not have the cool glasses like in the matrix, but he has one hell of a Z shaved on the back of his head. Well, anyway these young punks are sent to jail for various crimes (gang riots, blowing up their high school, dealing coke in the big leagues, etc.) and get thrown into an 'experimental government plan for rehabilitation'. That's right! Send em' to the everglades! After that, throw them in a run-down crack house in the Miami ghetto and see if they make it! Of course they do, and they do it while Bob Dylan and the Heartbreakers sing the theme song!
Barbaric Beast of Boggy Creek, Part II / 1985
I remember watching it about 2 months ago on TV. I laughed through the whole thing The acting was horrible, the plot was skimpy and just the idea of the movie being intended to be scary was ridiculous.
Basket Case / 1982
First I have to admit: this movie has a great plot, very original, and it has a very good ending too. Now the bad news: It's boring, the actors suck and even if the director made twice the effort he made, Basket Case would still suck! And one thing's worse: this movie has two sequels, and I need to tell you, these 2 movies are the only things that can make Basket Case look like a watchable movie. I'd like to tell you to watch it and find out for yourself, but I can't, cuz I'd have the feeling I'm making you lose your time. Sorry for those who loved it! I thought I did, until I recently watched it again, and now I know it's too bad I bought the whole trilogy. However if you want a good twisted horror movie that has an original plot, try to find Nekromantik. It's a german film and it might be the weirdest thing you'll ever see but it's great. Trust me. Leave Basket Case and its sequels to those who have insomnia problems.
A group of tiny space ships help an elderly couple to save their old apartment from being demolished by some greedy yuppy. The whole movie was boring and predictable. It's so bad it would make "Gigli" look interesting by comparision. Enough said.
Beach Girls / 1985
Its almost so disgustingly terrible that I'm beggining to enjoy it. I keep finding myself watching it on video
It is an annoying waste of a film that never does make any sense or become interesting at all. The film deals with a circus coming to town and Pee-Wee inviting the group to set up on his farm, where he falls in love and has a pig. Tedious and unnecessary, Big Top Pee-wee is one of the poorest excuses for a film I have ever seen. Turkey (0 out of 5 stars).
One of the stupidest action movies or the 80s. And not really that exciting. Tommy Lee Jones plays a "runner", a thief hired by the FBI to tape Robert Vaughn's shady business. But he hides the tape inside a protype car and spends the rest of the movie driving it to escape bounty hunters. Linda Hamilton (The first 2 Terminator films) is wasted as the love interest of both Jones and head bounty hunter Lee Ving. A dreadful high speed disaster as I've ever seen.
The Blob / 1988
A movie about a large piece of pink Jello that flatens and kills you. I thought I knew stupid until I saw this movie. Not only is the concept a complete dud, but the intelligence of the people in the movie itself was down right insulting to mankind. How can anyone possibly think that shooting a shotgun at a huge Jello blob is going to kill it? What exactly do you aim for? One word sums up this movie, HORRIBLE!!!!
Besides the fact I can't stand Brooke Shields, this movie is nothing more than a boring combination of the current tv show "Survivor" meets "Dawson's Creek". Not to mention the fact I found it boring. I still wouldn't like it if it were made now with Scarlett Johanson.
Body Rock / 1985
Can you imagine Lorenzo Lamas break dancing or pop locking? I admit the plot in the two Breakin films sucked, but the dancing and music was great. Both the music and dancing were terrible. This film is worst than "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes"
Somebody agrees with you. This movie was cheesy, campy, and just downright annoying. I wanted to slap everyone after 10 minutes. "Demented, and sad, yet really lame" sums up this movie.
No one else will agree with me here, but they should! It was cliche, it was boring, the acting was pathetic, and the writing was simply sad.
Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo / 1985
Well Turbo, Ozone, and Kelly are back with a sequel to the worst movie ever. You can't help watching the horrible acting, but the break dancing was okay. They swallowed their pride to combine raw street talent with Broadway action. To sum it, man, I tell ya, this was gut wrenching.
It was stupid. I don't think Richard Pryor has any talent - at all. He always appears to be ad libbing, struggling for something funny to say. Can't think of anything funny to say? Then just babble and sputter; this movie was terrible.
Bullies / 1986
Let me count the ways. A wimpy city family comes to a small hick town run by title characters. The boy falls for Olivia D'Abo, who is the only female of the otherwise male-psycho family. Predictability ensues. Watching this movie made me as stupid as the bullies and their intended victims. The bullies are typical (as in stereotypical) trash. The British Olivia can fake the Yankee accent, but otherwise she stinks. No wonder we never saw the actors other than her in anything else.
