For me it has to be Death Wish 3. Some of the scenes are so silly they will make you laugh out loud. The movie is ridiculous. Especially the scenes with the gang members. As much as I love my fancy HT setup, there is just something about watching this movie through a regular tube tv and a low quality VHS.

Either:

Raising Arizona

or

Used Cars



Both are extreeeeeemly hillarious. They're just low quality, low budget films with big name actors before they became famous.

"Pure Country" staring George Strait. It's a story of a very famous country music singer that leaves in the middle of his concert tour and goes back to his hometown where virtually no one recognizes or remembers him. He falls in love, starts helping out on his woman’s family’s ranch, and his woman leaves him when she realizes whom he is. Then at a huge concert at the end in Las Vegas he sings a love song to his woman and they live happily ever after I guess.

The acting is horrible. I think Strait never took acting lessons before shooting began. He shows the same emotions when singing, getting beat up in a bar fight, working on the ranch, or getting the girl in the end. Thankfully, if you like county music, his singing saves the movie.

I’ve seen it about 10 times and I still get a kick about how badly it is acted. A college friend of mine watched it so many times he can quote every line by heart.

Elvira: Mistress of the Dark. Campy nonsense, with not one whit of swearing or nudity, and it always makes me smile. Completely stupid.

Basket Case. Badly acted, bad special effects, bad story, all around bad. It's about a guy who keeps his twin brother (a shapeless blob-thing) in a basket. The brother attacks and kills the people who do the guy wrong. It's terrible. But also sublime in its awfulness.

cheers,

Raising Arizona: I'll be taking these Huggies and whatever cash you got.

Yes it is cheesy but it is a classic. Very quotable.

Terrible movies by any conventional sense. Yet, I find them to be so fun to watch...

The Wraith with Charlie Sheen. Cheezy, but for some reason, I still like it.

Cobra Stallones cheesiest movie ever, yet it contains lines that make me crack up.
terrorist: I'll blow this supermarket up! Stallone: Go ahead, I don't shop here.

Of course for me, Bruce Campbell will always be King of B-Movies, but I never really thought of his movies as bad.

The first Evil Dead scared the crap out of me, but now, 20 years later, it does seem rather cheesy. But Evil Dead 3 is classic! Intentionally bad with 3 Stooges-like slapstick (which Raimi admits to being a fan of).

My favorite "so bad it's funny" movie would have to be "Reptilicus," I believe filmed in Denmark around 1962. I actually found it on DVD. Everytime I watch it I laugh till I hurt.

In the opening scene, the narrator says, "...high above the Arctic Circle, in the frozen, forbidding, tundra mountains of the Laplands..." And what's seen on the screen is men drilling for copper...IN THEIR SHORT SLEEVE SHIRTS, surrounded by deciduous trees. It looks like a summer scene. It just gets crazier from there with the dinosaur-like "monster" throwing up on everyone.

Road House has the be the all time finest bad movie. It's just so darned quotable, too. Swayze's Next of Kin is another good bad one. Many of Seagal's movies fall into the same catagory.

I'd have to say Top Gun falls squarely into the so-bad-it's-good range, too.
