Sorry, these are all just bad movies and not so bad that they're good. I can't think of any movie that's bad enough to be become good.

Oh, I know ol Blunt. Me an him go way back, all the way to the edge of forumland. Yes, he's a CONTRARIAN (if I may use his habit of offering an amateur psychiatric evaluation). But he's good in a knife fight, and dogs love him.
A movie can be so bad that it's perversely unintentionally entertaining, and there's a plethora of them.
I'm beginning to think I'm contrary from birth, at least that's what Mom always told me.oh,I think he does Muskrat,after all,someone who loves Mystery Science Theater 3K must have some appreciation for bad movies..even SK loved some of the bad ones!Maybe he is just being contrary..
Yep, we do go way back, eh Rat? What fun, omg. As for the knife fight, how's that healing? Sorry about that, I thought you were the other guy. Dogs love me only due their heightened sense of smell. I drive bloodhounds crazy.
Cappy,
I just saw where Foxy Brown was released on Blu-ray this week in the US. Not sure if it has been released down under yet but keep your eye out.
Tell yez, good Slammin Pam flick be Something Wicked This Way Comes, based on some spook book by some Bradbury guy.
But, sincerely, that's a pretty dang fine flick and doesn't deserve mention on this trashy thread, let it be said.

ANACONDA, (1997) dir. by Luis Llosa
You've probably all seen this, thought, "what a lame flick" and SURE, it sucks, but give it another viewing, and perhaps, like me, you'll realize this flick is trash film gold. Jon Voight, Ice-Cube, J-LO, Owen Wilson, Eric Stoltz--lord, gimme whatever that casting director was smokin. But forget all that. This is a MONSTER movie, about giant snakes (bad CGI snakes) in the Amazon. I've read comparsons between this flick and Jaws, and once I'd regained my senses, I realized they were WRONG. The director wasn't channeling Spielberg, but another monster flick entirely: this flick is a retread of Creature From The Black Lagoon, but with giant snakes instead of gill men. Watch both and tell me I'm wrong.
Jennifer Lopez or Julie Adams? Ugh, that's a toughie. As much as I've always loved Adams and her immaculate white one-piece, I gotta pick J-Lo. It seems she'd be handier when it came to monster fightin.

Yeah, Anaconda's pretty damn cheesy but Kari Wuhrer, as long as she lasts in it, is worth the price of admission.
Anybody remember COMMANDER USA's GROOVY MOVIES? He was a bad movie host on the USA cable network back in the eighties. He dressed like a patriotic super-hero, always accompanied by his faithful sidekick Leftie (his left hand). He showed everything from I Was A Teenage Werewolf to Friday The 13th. On Sunday he hosted Kung-Fu Theater. He was awesome.
The 2010 remake of Piranha is a trash classic. Also Lake Placid is another favorite.
No. Rat. That was one of your...dreams...we used to call them. I know. I was your nurse. Remember Happy Acres?
This is actually one of many movie guilty pleasures. I own it on Blu-Ray. But, since my favorite genre is slasher films, I'm sure many people here would think that most of my collection belongs in this thread.
Depends on the flick, IMO. Something like Carpenter's original HALLOWEEN? No. THE TOOLBOX MURDERS? Oh yeah.
Elvis night:
Live a Little, Love a Little (1968)
I've seen this a couple times now and still can't really tell you what it's about. Seems Elvis rolls up on the beach on a dune buggy and gets chased by some quasi-hippie chick's dog into the ocean, which immediately gives him a fever (?), so the chick gives him some knock out pills to make him sleep three days in her groovy beach pad, which causes him to get fired. Not to worry, as E gets TWO jobs as a photographer (one of which is the 'girlie' variety, natch). The chick (Michele Carey) is, like, insane or something--one minute she wants E, the next she don't. Next minute he wants her, she invites him over to have dinner with her AND her husband (Bewitched's Dick Sargent). Big weird dream sequence with dancers in dog masks, big production number with Little Less Conversation, Sterling Holloway, Rudee Vallee...other stuff, I dunno. Have to get half drunk just to watch the thing. Try it on windowpane, it might make sense. Little less nonsense, please.
Believe it or not, Elvis COULD have been a great actor. Wish he coulda dropped the P.B.B's (peanut butter bacon sandwiches) long enough to tell the Colonel where to go.

Tom Laughlin's 'Billy Jack' might by some folkses flick estimations belong on this list, but it's just maybe be my bestest favorite movie of all of my time.
However, Mr. Laughlin also made a gem titled, 'Born Losers', the Billy Jack prequel, I believe he made while in film school, like homework possibly don't remember, that might fit the bill nicely for this not so exclusive club...yeah I liked it, was drive-in movie groovy, but gee whiz the continuity was so bad, I mean I noticed it as a 14 year old, course I seen it maybe twenty, eh, thirty times...Billy Jack, oh less than two hundred, maybe

I believe it. I think he's great in Love Me Tender. I watch all the other Elvis movies because of his voice and his most beautiful face...
