Some of the picks so far...just wow. I don't mean that in the "wow, you like THAT film" way, I mean it in the "why in the world are you AFRIAD to admit to liking THAT classic!?" way.
Seriously, what are with so many of these picks?
I'm not afraid to admit to liking anything, but there are a few that I enjoy that most hate. I can sit down and watch Wild Wild West at any time. I bought it at WalMart today for $7, so that made me happy. I love Clueless and Can't Hardly wait also, two great teen films that some never mention.
To the lesser known films, here we go. I obviously don't think of these as "great", but I do enjoy watching them just because they just flat out make me laugh, they are a riot.
The Creeps
I mean, my God. How can you not laugh at a film about midget versions of The Mummy, Dracula, The Wolfman, and Frankenstein's Monster? There are also some great quotes in this one to go along with the monsters.
Naked Space
After the monster finishes singing "I Want To Eat Your Face" and the Dr. shouts out "AND NOW MY LIFE HAS MEANING" (or something to that effect), I just lose it. Obviously, I like this one in the same way that I like Creeps.
Two bad bad films, that I love just because they are so bad.

i have a ton of them but one movie suprised me that i recently caught on tv
Navy Seals with Michael Biehn and Charlie Sheen and Bill Paxton
At times it is cheesy with charlie sheen going over the top but over all the tactics and material used for the seal team is relatively realistic.
other movies
cobra
drive me crazy
get over it
roadhouse
deep rising (I liked the mummy hated mr and i thought van helsing was okay until the ending which was terrible cgi mania)
godzilla (98)but i hate id4
batman forever ( I am a huge tim burton fan but this is not bad i despise batman and robin though)
there is hundred more cheesy movies i watch once in a while.

Great topic! I am a fan of poster pics, so I will include mine below:
There are several that I adore, that I know many think are complete trash.
Aside from the questionable cheese (i.e. popcorn flicks) that I must asmit I always like (ID4, Armageddon, The Rock, etc), I also have an affinity toward the following:
Walken and Leary make this one of the best BO bombs ever, and is honestly one of my favorite films of all time.
Forget Forrest Gump and Philadelphia, THIS is what Tom Hanks should have won the Oscar for!
"You didn't see Best Defense? Let me tell you why. The movie sucked." --Eddie Murphy
True, the plot and script is horredous and make no sense, but with Sledge Hammer (David Rasche), Arthur (Moore), and even Max Greevey (Dzundza) from Law and Order S1, you can't go wrong. I love this horrible cheesy flick!
I couldn't find the cover art to Disorginized Crime, but it is also one of my top favorites, starring the great Al Bundy (Ed O'Neill, and the late great Fred Gwynn. Apparantly, this title is OOP or something, as no sites have it. Oh well, it was a $6.99 at BB back in the day when I got it, so all is good.
And last, but most certainly not least, my FAVORITE cheesy movie of ALL time:
Filmed almost entirely on location in Moscow (not a joke) this is my fav PA movie next to the original. The cheese factor is VERY high so RUN, don't walk, to the nearest B&M and buy this now! It's an In and Out 4x4 with extra cheese! I kid you not! (some will get the I&O reference, most will not).
That's about all I can think of at the moment, but I'm sure there are scores of others. I like most movies, so a "good" critic, I am not, but being able to find some entertaining parts in any movie (no matter how horrible it is) makes for an easy time at the video rental store (unless the wife is with me).

He had all my sympathy. This is the worst case of a film so badly conceived and put together the director had to delegate the job of making it coherent entirely to his composer (John Williams) who filled every nanosecond of screen time with sugar-coma-inducing, ear-splitting, Mickey-Mouse-type music and percussion.
Same thing happened to 1941, by the way (not one of my favourites either).
My favourite guilty pleasures, besides The Mummy Returns which should be on everybody's list, are Blast From the Past (both with Brendan Fraser) and Mel Brooks' Dracula: Dead and Loving It (on laserdisc).
I also believe Rat Race is an underrated classic. Any comedy that has a cow dangling from a hot air balloon wins my heart. Also: Boat Trip (both with Cuba Gooding Jr.).

Definitely an 80s teen classic that needs a good dvd transfer NOW!For true guilty pleasures, I'd go with one of the "after hours" Cinemax skin flicks I saw back in the early-mid 90s. Films like "Bikini Bistro", "Animal Instincts 2" and other similar craptastic softcore. Lots of stupid ones about horny artists, vampires, etc. It's nice to have a tv in your room as a kid
. Even more cheesy than those films are some of the ones like "Night of the Lepus". Janet Leigh must have really needed a paycheck during the time she made this in the early 70s. I'll never forget the tv guide's description of the film: "a southwest community is terrorized by giant carnivorous super-bunnies". So, of course I had to watch. Definitely a "so bad it's good" type of film. What's even funnier is how much you'd have to pay if you wanted to own a vhs copy...one place online had it for $40. I passed, but I'd probably still watch it if I saw it on at 3 am.
