Wow. Apparently I've seen more bad movies in the theater than I thought.
I won't run through the more popular choices since... well, I never thought it was that rare to see them in the theater (MST3K:The Movie, KITH: Brain Candy, South Park:BLU, Baseketball, Dark City, etc since these were actually entertaining). We'll go straight to the fun.
Super Mario Brothers
Power Rangers (Saw with a Sneak Preview for Nine Months!)
Splitting Heirs
Diggstown (great boxing flick)
Nobody's Fool (sorely underappreciated)
Madhouse (ugh - Kristie Alley)
Holy Man (one late very bored - mostly drunken night in college)
Soul Survivors (terrible POS)
Heaven's Prisoners (liked this one - the multi-level shootout is a great scene)
Unforgettable (Linda Fiorentino fascination)
Hudson Hawk (still love it)
and how about...
UHF (twice)
Out on a Limb
The Gun in Betty Lou's Handbag
Second Sight (is that the title? Bronson Pinchot, John Larroquette?)
Street Fighter
A Walk in the Sun
The Jerky Boys
Loose Cannons
Larger than Life
Blame it on the Bellboy
F/X 2 (did anyone see this?)
Oh that's enough for now - but I'm barely scratching the surface of my bad movie watching from the early 90's.

I saw Hudson Hawk -- then as now, I like Bruce Willis.
Insignificance, at a college-town art theatre.
And this one will be very hard to match: The Wizard Of Speed And Time, though this was a special showing in arrangement with Noreascon 3, the 1989 World Science Fiction Convention, in Boston. No idea what theatre it was.
Also got sneak-preview passes to The Adventures Of Buckaroo Banzai Across The Eighth Dimension, and though it was long time ago, I still have vague memories that some bits in that test version didn't make it to the final cut.

Wow, 3 pages and still no GIGLI jokes? You're bigger people than I am.
Let's see, of all the aforementioned movies, I've only seen Power Rangers in the theater.
How about PUNCH-DRUNK LOVE and ABOUT SCHMITT? The theaters were empty opening week for both of those...

Back in 1983 in a theater in Honolulu:
Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone
Molly Ringwald, in 3D! For some reason, I always crack myself up that I saw that in first run.

Damn! Somebody saw UHF in a theater...twice?!?!
I thought seeing it once in a theater would make me super bad ass and cool!
Anyhow, I have a few interesting flicks I've seen:
Suburban Commando (Saw it the first day it came out)
No Holds Barred (Saw it at a Drive-In)
Article 99
The Ref
Detroit Rock City (Saw it the first day it came out)
How I Got Into College
National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1
Necessary Roughness
Sudden Death
Street Fighter: The Movie
The Wizard (Three times)
Father Hood (Saw an advance screening)
And finally, a flick not on DVD that I'm sure most of you haven't heard of: Listen To Me. Kirk Cameron (before his religious freak days) on a college debate team. I saw this movie in a theater on its second day of release, and there were 3 other people in the screening room.

I'm pretty sure that i'm the only one to see Baby...Secret of the lost legend at the theatre. My parents brought my sister and i too see this when GHOSTBUSTERS was playing. I had no bargaining power(i was 9). Even though Baby was released in '85 Ghostbusters was still playing for some reason?!?

Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back
That just goes in between me and a lot of my friends. I see it in theaters first and I tell them all about it and all the sudden they love it to. ....I'm a trend setter
