Revisiting the absolute worst and cringiest movies of the past 60 years (5 of 12)

The Apple: 1980

“It’s a natural, natural, natural desire/Meet an actual, actual, actual vampire” – these lyrics explain how this cringe-fest amassed a sizable cult following.

 

 

Mommie Dearest: 1981

Joan Crawford’s life is sensationalized and presented in this drab farce of a film. The scenes don’t build up, they are just random juxtapositions of fragments of filmography.

 

 

Megaforce: 1982

This film holds the seemingly unique distinction of 0 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. The makers actually added a countdown on the screen during the battle sequence, that’s how unbearable it is.

 

 

Staying Alive: 1983

No, John Travolta, how could you do this to us – to Saturday Night Fever!

 

 

Bolero: 1984

The film sets out to titillate, but succeeds in arousing only boredom. Bo Derek’s character refuses to do anything wearing clothes – like riding a horse. A woman trying to find a perfect match to lose her virginity to? Yeah, that’s basically the plot of this mess.
