Space Mutiny and Time Chasers are personal favourites.

But I do so love The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies along with Jack Frost

Flesh Gordon kicked ass.

Indeed. Even the death star would be helpless

Godzilla 2000. The plot and just about...everything about it was generally so cheesy I had a really good laugh watching it...

The Relic. This piece of shit is so unbelievable it defies words. Especially if you're a biology major like a friend of mine...

You haven't lived until you have seen... Ninja In The Killing Fields. Bad dubbing, obvious special effects, a schizophrenic plot, obvious stunt doubles, gratuitious stock footage, things happening for absolutely no reason... "Ninja In The Killing Fields" has it all.

Sure The Relic was bad, but was it so bad that it was good, like Godzilla 2000 which was so cheesy in every way it was actually fun to watch...

I'm probably going to get flamed here, but Dungeons and Dragons is one of my favorite fantasy movies. True, there are holes in the plot big enough to drive a Mack Truck through, but I still love it.

There's also Super Mario Brothers. How about Titan AE? BASEketball. Last Action Hero. The Punisher (the old one with Dolph Lundgren). These are a few of my favorite things.

And I forgot the best of all the movies so bad they're good: ORGASMO!

Ghostbusters: A movie where four guys carrying rayguns trap ghosts in a little box and draw the ire of a ghost warlord and his evil giant dogs. The end of the movie involves an 80-foot marshmallow man.

I mean, come on, think about it. Ghostbusters was fucking great movie, but oh man....

Plan 9 from Outer Space. Sure it, on average, dropped everyone in the rooms IQ by about 30 points for the next day or two. But how can you not laugh at that movie?

The first two evil dead movies, obviously. The third one was actually somewhat decent, so i won't mention that one.

Only seen a clip of it, but Dead Alive. Any movie, no matter how shitty monsters look, act, or fighting choriography, that has a kung fu catholic priest fighting zombies rocks hard. "I kick ass for the lord!"

Vulgar, wherein a transvestite party clown is assraped by 3 men at his first gig. That scene reminded me of Deliverance.

Wasn't Kevin Smith involved in that movie to some capasity?

I can think of a few films that were entertaining for being incredibly goofy.

La Bete

The Warriors

Ice Pirates

Une vraie jeune fille

Yup, I think he was the executive producer or something like that.

It's one of those things which you just have to see to understand.

I can't imagine what you see in that abomination. Imagine playing a DnD game where you enter the dungeon containing the ultimate artifact of dragon control. A dungeon completely devoid of monsters. And the only trap is a chute that leads directly to... a pit of deadly snakes? spikes and blades? No, it leads directly to the treasure room containing the artifact where you are confronted, by all thing, some sort of friendly lich that just lets you waltz out with the artifact.

Any DM that lead me through that is ending up with a wedgie and is paying for the entire pizza.

And the baffling part is that the man behind the film was supposed to be a huge DnD nut, yet he produces a film worse than what some studio execs with no gaming knowledge could ever do.

All right, rant over. My pick for a good "bad" movie is Mutant on the Bounty. It's worth it for the title alone.

No way! Orgasmo is actually "good" good. All of my Mormon friends love it, too.

Krull is a great movie that is simultaneously a terrible movie. Troll works for many reasons/ Last Action Hero is worth a laugh. For me, Star Trek Nemesis is more rewatchable that any SW prequel because it has the fun cheese factor. Godzilla movies in general fall into this catagory, as well as many Andy Sidaris films, especially if they star Al Leong as the bad guy. In fact almost all of the old-school late night cable movies are so bad they're good: movies like The Bikini Carwash Company, Dinosaur Island (more breasts than dinos in that one), and some movie about these tourist ladies in a Turkish prison which makes you want to wince at every scene but you can't stop watching anyway.

Oh, and the Police Academy Series.
