I'm gonna have to put in for the Substitute series. The first in the series starred Tom Berenger, and came out around the same time as Dangerous Minds.
Much like Dangerous Minds, The Substitute featured an ex-marine getting a teaching job in an inner city high school, and also like Dangerous Minds, eventually ended up with both teacher and students learning that you can't always judge a book by its cover, because in The Substitute, that ex-marine teacher is actually a mercenary hired to kick the absolute shit out of some gang members, and eventually bust the dope-dealing ring being run out of the school. It also has Ernie Hudson as the evil principal. And Marc Anthony before he became a singer and married Jennifer Lopez.
Later installments in the series would star Treat Williams, and feature him kicking the shit out of another school gang, college football jocks, and a secret neo-Nazi unit in a military school.
Oh, and then I also wanna vote for Sidekicks, that karate movie where Jonathan Brandis daydreams about kicking ass with Chuck Norris.

sidekicks! yeah yeah yeah. I always think about the scene where he imagines Norris teaching him to climb the rope.
Man, looking at the imdb listing for Sidekicks shows what an awesome cast that movie had. Danica McKellar, Joe Piscopo, Mako, Beau Bridges, and Richard Moll.
I can't even write the name of this movie without getting carded, so I'll post the poster.
This movie has gay black aliens travelling the galaxy to destroy the scourge that is females and spread gayness. They find Earth, where men are oppressed by women (represented by a Chinese peasant cringing as his wife nags him), and save us by wiping out womankind. They then baptise their new gay representative on Earth (like a Christian baptism but with a white creamy liquid) and depart to find another planet to rescue. Oh, and the movie was black-and-white, until after the destruction of women, when it becomes colour.
So to summarize, this movie is offencive to gays, blacks, women, Chinese, Christians, and space aliens.
whaaaaaaaat
how is this possible
who made it
Eat it You Nasty Pig. on
hold your head high soldier, it ain't over yet
that's why we call it the struggle, you're supposed to sweat
I humbly submit Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter to this thread of awesomeness. Jesus returns to fight against the ever growing threat of lesbian vampires. He is joined in his mission by the Mexican wrestling superstar Santos. Highlights include Jesus using kung fu on a group of atheists, and a surreal talk with God who speaks to him via a cherry sundae. Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter
Also, Megaforce. Viewer discretion is advised if you don't enjoy motorcycles with mounted machine guns and rocket launchers, dune buggies with lasers, and a fighting force equipped with the most powerful weapons that science can devise. Did I mention that the motorcycles can fly? Megaforce!
So much love goes out to anyone mentioning Flash Gordon, Big Trouble in Little China, Robot Jox, and the Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai. Some of my all time favorites. I also just added Torque, Sharks in Venice, and Crank 1 and 2 to my must see list thanks to this thread. :^:
It's got Stallone driving a car with a giant knife on the front for godssake.
This movie is directed by Roger Corman, but it's probably the best thing he's ever done. HILARIOUSLY over the top stereotypes and cheesy action, and it invented (?) the whole joke of pretending to hit things with a car for points. I love this movie.
Got a couple here that I recall fondly, think one got mentioned already but no one put up a video for it!
The Last Starfighter
A movie that I could never get enough of, considering I was really into video games at the time it was almost like a young nerds wet dream.
Oh my god, this has got to be one of my favorite movies growing up. I will admit I'm not sure whether this is a so bad it's good movie, heck to me over half the movies in this thread are outright awesome, I just wanted to post this here cause of the awesomeness .

The Last Starfighter is one of the best damn movies of all time. Victory or death!
Hell yes to Sidekicks. It's like Karate Kid, except the kid is all gay for Chuck Norris, and at the end Chuck shows up and roundhouse kicks the shit out of the Sensei Crease wannabe, played by Joe Piscopo.
I also want to say Grindhouse, but I'm not sure if we should count intentionally bad movies. Either way, I love Deathproof and Planet Terror.
EDIT: jeffe414, I forgot about Monster Squad. I loved that movie so much back in the day.
Am I to infer that someone in here thinks that Bloodsoprt is not the crowning achievement of mankind? So help me God, if I infer this there shall be a reckoning.

I'm sorry, but I must vehemently disagree.
With a name like "Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter" you would think this movie would be the epitome of the badgood ethos of the thread. It is not. And here is why.
Jesus only dresses like Jesus—robe and sandals, long hair and beard, etc—for like the first ten minutes of the movie. After that, Jesus is like "I have to blend in, better shave and put on modern clothes."
The remainder of the movie is simply a normal-looking, short man fighting vampires.
Occasionally there are references to the fact that this man is the Son of God. But honestly, it seems like these people just made a boring, regular, shitty vampire-hunter movie, realized it sucked, and then were like "it would be funnier if he was JESUS" and tagged on the first ten minutes so they could call the movie by its current title.
It's not a "best worst movie." It's simply a cocktease.
Edit: is there a Bibleman movie? Because the show definitely qualifies for this thread.
I submit for your consideration a film entitled Meat Market 2, if for no other reason than its long, awkward shower scene featuring chubby girls with floppy breasts.
Also, Megaforce. Viewer discretion is advised if you don't enjoy motorcycles with mounted machine guns and rocket launchers, dune buggies with lasers, and a fighting force equipped with the most powerful weapons that science can devise. Did I mention that the motorcycles can fly? Megaforce!
I must find this! It's like some crazy 80's Saturday Morning Cartoon, done in real life. Plus, that was a bitchin' theme song. Like, soooo 80's metal.

I wouldn't really call Rocky IV a bad movie. It's one of my faves, and it's definitely corny and cheesy, but I definitely wouldn't call it a bad movie.
I'm not going to go looking for clips since I'm at work, but it stared an 84 year old Mae West, whose voice was on the way out and suffering from less than full mobility, as a sex-kitten the whole world was still agog over. One of the running gags was that she had just married a British aristocrat (played by Timothy Dalton), and while on their honeymoon at a posh, international hotel, every time they tried to get it on they were comedically interupted, by such as - some former husbands, diplomat Alexei Andreyev Karansky (Tony Curtis), director Laslo Karolny (Ringo Starr), gangster Vance Norton (George Hamilton), and an entire athletic team from the U.S., who all want to have sex with her.
These are terrible movies, but I loved them as a child and still do for nostalgia factor. Plus... they're fucking Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. How awesome is that shit?

Maybe I liked the movie a bit too much...
Flight of the Navigator is not a good bad movie. It is a good movie. Pee Wee Herman as the voice of the ship? Awesome.
Which version? The 70s version had all this unnecessary nudity that was common around that time, which made watching it a little more bearable.
Hold up, the original Wicker Man is a bad movie?
Since when?
An awful lot of it was boring and slow paced, the mystery about the missing girl was pretty well telegraphed, and the main character was such an abrasive moralizer that I wasn't sad at the way the movie ended.
That was actually kind of awesome. The idea that a restuarant kitchen is so chaotic somebody could be firing off automatic weapons and nobody would notice seems strangely true-to-life.

Bill Cosby rode an ostrich in Leonard Part 6. By all accounts, we shouldn't have survived 1987.

Since when?
"I think the cable box is broken."
"Yes that is why they sent me I am an expert."
Yes.
Yes.
NO. This movie is awesome.
"THIS? Is family? You call THIS a family?"
I dunno, the movie works for me. A movie about a family of giant ninja turtles works.
An awful lot of it was boring and slow paced, the mystery about the missing girl was pretty well telegraphed, and the main character was such an abrasive moralizer that I wasn't sad at the way the movie ended.
I also have the evil dead trilogy and Bubba Hotep.
