Everyone loves a great movie, but there's a special joy to be found in watching movies so horrible that they loop back around to become true masterpieces. These movies are where you find some of the true surprises and mysteries of cinema: a children's movie character who binge drinks and carries a shiv, a scene where God drives down from the sky in a Rolls Royce, a race of aliens revived from near-death by Coca-Cola, romantic tension between a human and an animatronic duck, and countless other moments too strange to put into words.

Mac and Me (1988)
Free screening starts around 6:30 p.m. at Mosaic Courtyard!
(1131 State St., Santa Barbara, CA)
McDonald's still won't admit they sponsored this blatant E.T. ripoff, but we're sure glad they did! Swing by our showing to see Coca-Cola-fueled resurrections, real stunts by a wheelchair-bound child actor, jump-scare-worthy alien costumes, and more!

Jack and jill (2011)
Adam Sandler as both Jack and Jill is enough to make this movie a legendary stinker, but blatant product placement, a Jared Fogle cameo, and a bizarrely committed performance by Al Pacino turn this into a true trash lover's treasure!
7/2
from justin to kelly (2003)
Spring Break is a special time for any hot, single college freshman- or at least that's what the studio executives decided this movie would be about. Luckily for us, watching this campy and very, very dumb movie is the kind of trip you don't need to pack 10 people to a bedroom for!
7/24
foodfight! (2012)
This film took 15 years(!) to finish, but its combination of A-List voice acting, absurdly horrible animation, and product placement-addled writing make this tailor made for the Mud Movie Medallion collection!
