Adjectives modifying adjectives in Spanish
The ongoing thread of "Famous Film Titles" made me think of a Spanish grammatical question for which I can't find an answer. I'm not sure what the proper term is, but in English adjectives can be modified to further define another adjective. For example, if a movie is so bad that it is good, in an entertaining way, someone may say, "That movie is wonderfully bad," of "That movie is deliciously bad."
In those examples, "wonderful" and "delicious" are modified to further define "bad." Is there similar usage in Spanish? If so, what is the proper form of the modified adjective and its placement?

Notice that those "adjectives" that modify other adjectives had an ly ending attached to them to convert them to adverbs. Adverbs modify adjectives. Adjectives do not modify adjectives. I understand your overall point (adjectives used as adverbs to modify other adjectives, but your terminology may be flawed.)
