I really enjoy Con Air. There are so many things that don't make sense, right from the start. Nic Cage's accent is bad, and the other criminals are basically cartoon characters.

But I'll watch it every time I catch it on TV.

It's one of those where it seems like everyone is fully aware of how ridiculous it is and that's why it works.

Some I'd have to watch again maybe to make sure.

Many have been mentioned, first that came to mind:

Robin Hood Prince of Thieves

The Wizard

TMNT 2, Vanilla Ice Ninja Rap style.

If you like Cage being ridiculous Vampire's Kiss is an amazing bad movie.

I have an appreciation for the Fast and Furious franchise. It's a B movie series that figures itself out eventually and makes some legitimately good action movies. It's a fascinating arc, but I did listen to commentary tracks to get me through the early ones.

Willy’s Wonderland is a recent Nick Cage movie that got terrible reviews but I found highly entertaining.

Not sure if these all fit the criteria for being bad but they're definitely guilty pleasure flicks for me.

Over the Top
No Holds Barred
Hot Tub Time Machine
Lionheart
The Running Man
Drop Dead Fred
I'll Be Home for Christmas (I'm a sucker for most cheesy Christmas movies)

No doubt about it these last couple are bad but so bad in the best way.

Running Man is a GREAT movie. I think it's actually getting remade to more of Stephen King's original novel.

I thought Hot Tub Time Machine was a genuinely good comedy but the rest of those work iirc.

I don't tend to argue much on the internet...but The Thing, a bad movie? Get outta here.
I love the original Thing movie. It was a classic that I watched so many times with friends in HS and I looked forward to watching the remake with my kids. I guess I was focused on “Favorite” in the title and I assumed the bad was for “lower budget”. I didn’t watch it in a theater. I don’t recall it being that big of a deal. The first I knew of it was when a buddy that worked at a grocery store brought it home from the stores VHS rental selection for all of to watch with several other low budget movies. It was then a regular in our viewings because it was great fun.

Is this a bad movie? Can't decide. There's a lot of 80s comedies that I loved that flirted with "bad".

Saw it recently.

It's bad (when does a dead body start to smell?).

But it's great in that it came out in 1989 to ride that era out.
