    What movies do you know are absolute shit, but can't help to enjoy anyway? For me it's "A Knights Tale". I know it's garbage but I can't help but it enjoying it. It does have a pretty great cast for such a shitty movie though

    Felix the Cat: The Movie.
    I don't even consider it a guilty pleasure, I grew up with it and I genuinely enjoy it despite knowing how shit it can be. It has some great concepts but they're just not realised properly.

    Joel Miller looks a lot like young OPL to me these days.

    I guess I have a lot of guilty pleasures I really like UHF and both of the problem child movies.

    Manos: The Hands of Fate. It's corny, really stupid, and predictable, but it's a good movie to watch when I want to just chill or laugh with friends.

    I've seen Foodfight three times now and have gotten to the point where I almost find it enjoyable.

    Many.

    BMX Bandits, the first film with a (very young looking, and frizzy-haired) Nicole Kidman in it. The plot is shite but it's basically a live action cartoon involving Nicole and two pals getting chased round Manly Beach in Australia by two incompetent bank robbers. There's an absolutely brilliant moment where the Bandits escape down water slides and not wanting to get their suits wet the baddies resort to shouting invective at them. Then, this fat kid walks on, shoves one of them down the waterslide, and saunters off completely nonchalant.

    Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-o-rama, which features a punk, two sorority girls, and three 80s nerds being terrorised round an abandoned bowling alley by a very unconvincing imp.

    Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. Mainly because I was 15 when I first acquired a copy of it on VHS ('member VHS tapes?) for 50p in a Cash Converters and... BEWBIES... Also some genuinely amusing bits ("How's your head?" "Well, not had any complaints yet!") and a 1958 Ford T-Bird, which is almost as awesome as BEWBIES, if you're a sperg like me.

    Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! As above. Russ Meyer introduced me to the concept of "cantilevered" when it comes to BEWBIES and I've been polluted ever since. It's basically non stop action and sex with a surfeit of pretending to be deep.

    Kung Fu Flid. Also known as "Unarmed but Dangerous." Utter shit. But - it does feature a bloke with phocomelia (played by a real life thalidomide child) kicking the shit out of baddies and Faye Tozer (formerly of Steps) delivers the line, "he gave your son a cunt!" Unfortunately, that's the entirety of the joke.

    Oh another guilty pleasure is Ernest scared stupid. I loved that movie growing up and still enjoy it. I like to introduce it to my friends kids, and as soon as their old enough my nephews.

    Also the low budget straight to dvd Dungeons and Dragons movies.

    The Star wars prequels, though mostly 2 and 3. (PM is too awful even for me) I enjoy them because of what they might have been, and the occasional glimpses of a good concept and idea under all the garbage. It's bittersweet, watching them and knowing that with a better director and script, they could've been really good. Plus, 'I am the senate!' cracks me up.

    I'll watch just about any cartoon if the cover prominently features a mouse, even as a sidekick. Usually I'll be cringing and know that going in but I'll still give it a try.

    I watched a few on my parents' Netflix/Hulu when I stayed over with them for Christmas.

    I'll give Drake Bell and Miranda Cosgrove credit that I didn't recognize their voices - they were really acting as the characters in this thing, which isn't something you always get out of celebrity voice actors.

    And Jon Lovitz gave a hilarious performance as the incompetent mouse king.

    The plot involving the main girl mouse character and her entire personality were extremely grating to me, reeking of leftover 80s feminism pandering. Remember when a girl being an adventurous tomboy who was as good or slightly better than her male companions was a twist or a subversion of some sort? Not in my lifetime, that was the expected way for things to be before my age even hit double digits.

    [​IMG]
    The mouse is employed at the toy factory and can clearly understand people talk and wears clothes, but the humans generally seem to be unable to hear him when he speaks (except the narrator, whom he gets in arguments with or distracts with autistic tangents). The main character seems oblivious to his cat's obvious attempts to kill and eat his co-worker, or possibly just callous.

    [​IMG]
    This one made me cringe the longest and hardest. I came to really hate that mouse and his total lack of impulse control by the time it was over. And yet I still had to watch the whole thing all the way to the end!

    Elf Bowling: The Movie.

    We should've watched that back around Christmas actually, it's awful but for me, it's so bad it's good.

    I have quite a few, but I'm going to go with "Burial Ground - The Nights of Terror" and I'm posting a link to the full movie:



    I admit this movie actually scared me when I was 3-4 years old, now I just find it so laughably bad...and yet I can't stop watching. The best part? A dwarf in a bad toupee playing the part of a child.

    I would say so as well, there's nothing wrong with multiple exposures to it! I recall we watched it way too many times that my sis once did a silly recording in a tape recording of a talk show where she interviewed a Lesbian Nazi hooker who was abducted by aliens and forced into a weight loss program, it was good times (of course I don't think we knew what a Lesbian was yet, or a Nazi, or hookers)!

    Watching The Room with a large group of friends is enjoyable. Gotta bring footballs and spoons though.

    I remember showing a friend The Room for the first time last year, I think we broke her.
    Looking forward to seeing it in London again next month, Tommy Wiseau will be back.
