The Mortal Kombat movies.
Yes I am ashamed but I've played MK since I was 3. When I was 5 I was Scorpion for Halloween! So honestly, how could I not love them?
What is best in life?
To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you and to hear the lamentation of their women...

The 13th Warrior
It got awful reviews but I loved it, so I dont even regard it as a bad movie.
and Willow
Same story. Awful special effects and a Lord of the Rings rip-off but still one of my favorites.

Absolutely nothing wrong with The Rundown.
An amazing film that was surprisingly well-reviewed!
Ebert even gave it 3 1/2 stars!

My guilty pleasure is Moon 44, for one reason: The hero loves to read.
There's a great moment, towards the end, when Brian Thompson (the "dumb brute") returns to Michael Paré (the hero) the book he'd stolen out of Paré's locker earlier in the movie, with the same ashamed expression that he'd had when he took the book.
When Paré says, "Keep it. Read it," Thompson lifts his chin, sets his jaw and proudly states, "I already did."
That right there was worth the price of admission (Well, the DVD, anyway)!

Willow is a LotR rip-off? How is that exactly? It's a fantasy movie with little people? If anything, it watches more like a D&D campaign than coming anywhere near feeling like a LotR Redux.
But I will agree that it's a great flick. I fell in love with Sorsha. My love for her wasn't replaced until I saw Saffron.

Gotta Chime in here, I love these threads.
1. The Karate Kid 2 - Better than the first IMHO
2. The Kid With The Golden Arms - The best of the Wu Tang Clan (not the rap artists) Kung Fu movies from the late 60's complete with 8" sideburns
3. Tango and Cash - Always watch it, the cheese factor is off the charts.
4. They Call Me Bruce - a Chinese man in LA who looks like Bruce Lee but has no Kung Fu ability whatsoever gets targeted by the mob, hilarity ensues.
5. The Warriors - New York street gangs in face paint? "Can you dig it!!!!!!"
6. My Science Project - Dennis Hopper as a science teacher named Bob Robertson Esq., and time travel. Blowing up a T-Rex with an RPG for good measure.
7. Demon Knight - Bald Billy Zane as the devil; OK maybe not bad, but I didn't see its name on the oscar list.
8. Legend - Good despite Tom Cruise, Tim Curry saved it. The directors cut changes the whole movie.
9. Labyrinth - David Bowie as Nancy Wilson (Blonde from the band Heart) with Muppets.
10. Godzilla - the new one with Matthew Broderick, kind of like a train wreck. I'm horrified yet I cannot look away!

Eight Legged Freaks-reminds me of old horror movies from my childhood
See Spot Run- both of these star David Arquette
Really, any movie starring dogs, no matter how bad. If they have flappy lips, I'm hooked.
Aeon Flux- I know fans of the original hate it, but awesome ass kicking by a woman
Resident Evil- Apocolypse- same reason as Aeon
It amazes me at the training these women go through to kick ass on screen.
SixString- as far as a lot of people mentioning Armaggedon, I think we like knowing we're not alone in liking a particular bad flick.

You're probably right SS, but I'm just saying.... According to IMDB, the movie was up for about 27 different awards (and yes, these included the Razzies, so I guess it really does reek of cheese).... but it did have 4 Oscar nominations and a rediculous budget......
To be fair though, I did re-read the original post and it would seem that Armageddon would be perfectly fine on this list. I was mistaken about its original intent.
I guess I was just thinking it was more a thread for huge cheese movies that were all about cheese, and I always think of low budget movies that nobody else ever heard of. (Jack Frost, IMO was a great addition to the list) The kind that would air on Cinemax between 10:00PM - 2:00 on weekends when I was a kid usually come to mind. My bro absolutely hates Lep in the Hood and Troll 2 and that makes me like them even more.
Didja check the vids? Pretty sic stuff, don'tcha think?
EDIT: I gotta admit, even though I can't remember a thing about Armegeddon except that Buscemi was in it and he's one of my favorite actors, I did enjoy watching it with my girlfriend of that time. "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" was actually our song.....
Yeah.... If it were possible for me to be embarrased underneath this 4" thick skin I've developed over the years, I do think I'd be now...
