    I watched Home Alone 3 once, in its entirety. It's banal unoriginality gave me a stiffy. It was a beautiful thing (the movie was).

    That is so not a bad awesome movie. It's fucking awesome awesome.

    Now, if you'd have said Piper's film Hell Comes to Frogtown, then I would have kissed you.

    I almost forgot about Bubba Hotep as well. Bruce Campbell has to be my favorite best worst movie actor of all time. I still need to see My Name is Bruce even if its horrible as well as Bubba Nosferatu if it comes out.

    There is no earthly reason I should've watched Standing Tall the entire way through since it stars The Rock, and Johnny Knoxville. But I dug it. A lot.

    The Rock actually has made some entertaining movies. The Rundown was by no means a good movie, but it definately had its moments, especially Walken's monologues..."Do you understand the CONCEPT of the tooth fairy?"

    First of all, it's "Walking Tall," it's a remake, and it was decent.

    The Rundown is by my means a good movie. I love everything about it.

    Penis amputation jokes, sean william scott getting punched in the face, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson going giant-jackie-chan on thugs and then sniping with a shotgun, followed by a jumping over an alley to deliver a flying punch that knocks out a support column.
    Oh, and a cameo by the Ahnold, plus Keno (pizza delivery boy from TMNT II: SOTO) as a rebel fighter.
    "Ged owda 'ere, monkey" is fantastic, also.

    And just to share a movie I think actually belongs in this thread: Pootie Tang is wad-a-tay, my biddies.

    Yes, yes you should. Krull is a damn fine movie.


    Anyway, back on topic.

    Deep Rising. Pure B-movie greatness. The hero is square-jawed, the woman is Famke Janssen, the monster is suitably horrible, the science obligatorily makes no sense, and everyone is having a great time making it. They even wind up on Monster Island at the end. Classic fun.

    I also believe that when Danny Trejo is in a film, he's going to be pretty bad ass and bad at the same time like in From Dusk till Dawn (also a great bad movie)

    Lot's of awesomeness in this thread. Here are a few of mine:

    Ace Ventura: Pet Detective
    Only The Strong
    The Rock
    Point Break
    Biodome


    But my all time favorite "This movie is shit, but I can't stop watching it" is Drive-Thru. Any movie with a killer clown that's called "Horny the Clown" is fucking gold. Plus the main chick is hot as fuck.

    Oh man, I have so many of these. Bunch of stuff's already been mentioned.

    The One (love Jet Li, love Statham, you do the math.)
    Sahara (quietly a really fun, if cornball, action/adventure movie.)
    The animated Transformers movie
    Basically any nick cage movie when he plays that same burned out mid-life crisis character

    any number of others, probably.

    edit: oh man, Torque! Truly one of the all time bad movies. I have that burned on a CD around here somewhere.

    Holy shit, Ice Pirates has been mentioned. That's the one with the converyor belt castrating machine and the time-slipping finale where the two leads grow enormous beards and one of their suddenly grown up sons rescue them and holy shit that's a great terrible movie.

    How about Battle Beyond The Stars? Roger Corman replays the Magnificent Seven (including the stunningly original casting of Robert Vaughan playing the Robert Vaughan character), but in space. His seven include John-Boy from the waltons, some chick in a metal bra, Hannibal from the A-Team as, I shit you not, 'Space Cowboy', and sundry other unlikely mercenaries. John Saxon is the bad guy. It's glorious and I watched it a bunch of times when I was a kid.

    Killer Clowns from Outer Space - balloon animals that maul you to death, face-melting cream pies, cotton candy that dissolves you into a delicious drink, and a gun that shoots deadly popcorn. What's not to love?

    Attack of the Killer Tomatoes - the whole damn movie is basically red tennis balls attacking peope, all coordinated by a huge tomato that occasionally rolls over peope, with a climax of a huge crowd of people stepping on tomatoes.

    Critters - Attack of the Killer Tomatoes meets the bad Gremlins. Plus aliens that can shapeshift into playboy chicks, and a part where the critters gather into a big ball and roll around town, running over people and devouring them.

    Tremors - big sand swimming carnivores that hunt by sound chasing Kevin Bacon and crew around a desert valley. I can't not watch it when it's on.

    The best part of Torque is that during the ridiculous Superbike scene you can tell that they're not going fast. Like, buildings approach at a snail's pace, even though everything is all speed-lined.

    Alone in the Dark was pretty great though, if only for Tara Reid The Totally A Science Person. That, and the just completely inane "twist but not actually but it doesn't make any sense" ending.

    Which version? The 70s version had all this unnecessary nudity that was common around that time, which made watching it a little more bearable.

    Some other good bad ones:

    Puppetmaster - stop motion puppets murdering people in silly ways.

    Pretty much all of the old Godzilla and Gamera movies - none of these ever made too much sense, but a man in a giant rubber suit rampaging through cardboard cutout Tokyo and fighting Ultraman is still fun to watch.

    Freddy vs. Jason - story was pretty silly, but man it was a fanboy's dream.
