The official subreddit for the celebration of movies that are so bad, they're good.
Invisible brains flying around and killing people, what's not to love? This goofy 1950s horror flick has a stalwart hero, a beautiful damsel, an absent-minded professor and one of the dumbest ways to shut down a nuclear reactor - the hero just places a bundle of dynamite on the console - but it is the title creatures that makes this movie sing. You can’t help but enjoy the sheer lunacy of it all. It’s simply a fun and wild ride that despite some pacing issues and stilted acting is the best killer brain movie ever made and is an entertaining example of the mad science genre at its best.
Fiend Without a Face (1958) A scientist's thoughts materialize as an army of invisible brain-shaped monsters, who then terrorize an American military base and a nearby town.

The brain monsters were pretty cool-looking. Every time I see that movie title, I feel the need to sing it to the tune of "Eyes Without a Face" by Billy Idol
Have you seen the movie, "Eyes Without a Face," that the song was written about? It's also great.
Classic
I saw this one as a kid, and loved it. Of course, I didn’t perceive any goofiness at the time. It would hit different now, I’m sure!
Yeah I watched it as a kid to, took me years to find it again, suprised it's only 1hour and 15min long
Love these movies get the pizza and beer and weed and mates and you're in for a treat
Solid entertainment from start to finish.
...the Criterion Collection released Fiend Without a Face on dvd. So it's kind of an odd choice to call a bad movie.
Criterion released Armageddon.
Armageddon is probably a better movie than a lot of modern ones weirdly. It's also archetypical of Bay, and he's probably more important than critical reception lets on.
its more that old does not equal bad. if you find this bad you'll find most 50's SF bad.
That's not a bad movie. Same crew made "It! The Terror From Beyond Space," the pre-Alien flick--also very good.
