Spent 45 minutes trying to find a movie that's "so bad it's good" on prime and gave up

I sat down last night with a friend and we wanted to watch a real stinker. You know, something like The Room or Birdemic level bad. But searching through Prime was impossible because every movie has a 3 star rating and I can't tell if it's ironically good or just boring bad. We wound up scrolling for almost an hour before we just put on Troll 2 again. Has anyone found a reliable way to filter for these gems without having to already know the title?

Oh PLEASE someone make a "so bad it's good" filter already, I heard Netflix tried once and it flopped.

You know what, I totally agree with you. I tried to find something like that myself a few years ago, and all I got was either pure trash that wasn't even fun, or stuff that was trying way too hard to be campy. There's a real art to a movie that's genuinely awful but also hilarious, like you can't just fake it. I remember sitting through one of those so-called "so bad it's good" movies from some streaming service, and it was just boring. Not funny, not enjoyable, just a waste of two hours. Someone needs to crack the code on a real filter that can spot the difference between a fun bad movie and one that's just plain bad.
