Favorite Troma Titles
I recently picked up a few Troma films on clearance from Hollywood Video's closing sale. I've been dying to relive some Troma movies.
Class of Nuke 'Em High was even better than I remember and I really want to pick up the first sequel.
I really love the Troma films I've seen but they have a load of crapfests as well.
Does anyone have any favorites or recommendations? Or maybe titles that should be avoided at all costs?
A friend said Beware! Children at Play was absolutely horrible, and I ended up not picking it up at Hollywood.

Sucker the Vampire is my favorite Troma flick that I've seen, although it's a pick-up and not something they produced themselves. I've heard Mother's Day is a pretty memorable slasher, although I haven't had a chance to catch that one yet.
I was a rabid, frothing-at-the-mouth Troma fan in high school, but the movies I've seen since don't really hold that much appeal to me anymore.

Stay away from Bloodsucking Freaks.

I've been dying to see Tromeo & Juliet. I heard things about it and saw watched the trailer and was blown away. Mostly by the monster penis.

Combat Shock is the only Troma movie I have seen that's worth a damn, but I'm not partial to the Ed-Woodian so-bad-it's-good type of film anyway.

I like Terror firmer, Toxie 1, 2 , and IV. (Part 3 is terrible though). Traoma's war, tromeo and Juliet, and Cannibal: the musical are also very enjoyable.
Rockabilly vampire is probably the worst I've seen.

Favourite Troma's (no particular order):-
(1) Sergeant Kabukiman N.Y.P.D.
(2) The Toxic Avenger
(3) Terror Firmer
(4) Surf NAZI's Must Die!
(5) Troma's War
(6) Tromeo and Juliet
(7) The Class of Nuke Em' High
(8) The Legend of the Chucarabra (not sure on the spelling of that one.)
Bloodsucking Freaks is not technically a Troma film, but they have distributed over many years. Utterly insane, but memorable for the penis eating, brain sucking and nipple torture.
Also a vote for a personal favourite - Sergio Lapel's Drawing Blood. The kind of insane low budget mess that is utter rubbish but hugely enjoyable.

I just started getting Troma films from Netflix. So far, I've only seen Class of Nuke 'em High. Very enjoyable, so I'll be using this thread to get some more.

I like Citizen Toxie best. Just good old fashion fun.
I don't think they are so bad they're good though. I find them to be simply good films, they just have poor production values. Which actually enhance the films.

I'll add votes for
Toxic Avenger (make sure it's the fully uncut release, with the head squishing scene!)
Redneck Zombies (most people hate this but it's one of my favourites, it has some really insane humour in it)
Tromeo and Juliet
Class Of Nuke Em High
Sgt Kabuki-man
Combat Shock (not the usual Troma movie, it's pretty harsh and very depressing but a great movie)
and it's not a Troma movie but it's in a real similar style but you should also check out Street Trash.

Tromeo and Juliet and Terror Firmer are probably my two favorites, followed by the Toxic Avenger films.
