"Good" Movies only YOU think are unintentional funny
 
For me it got to be Point Break (1991). It's definitely a "guy cult film" but, whatever earnest intentions they had filming it just comes off as ridiculous and cheesy to me. I can't help but think that whoever wrote the script really disliked Keanu Reeves. So when I watch the movie and witness the non stop abuse Reeves must endure, I can't help but giggle throughout the film.
The naked butt surveillance footage evidence always makes me burst out laughing, and I'm in tears when Keanu Reeves' character recognizes the naked butt again on some surfer dude.

Point Break wants to be so cool yet its wrapped in layers of hidden cheese only I seem to notice. That makes it my favorite unintentional funny movie ever.

Airplane! - You have Robert Stack and Lloyd Bridges so you know it's a serious movie, right? I laughed my ass off! The rest of the theater kept shushing me until the ushers finally asked me to leave :(

There is nothing hidden with the cheese in Point Break.

This is a tough one, I sure as hell could name a bunch of bad movies that were unintentionally funny.

Wizard of Oz is pretty hilarious.

I find Wizard of Oz unrelentingly creepy. One of my least favorite "major" movies.

"The Room." Seems pretty stupid for a film with "the passion of Tennessee Williams."

Haha. Okay, you and I both know that it's actually hilarious. Oh hi, doggy!

The Boondock Saints. I used to tolerate it way back when, but it just seems hilariously bad in hindsight.

I thought it was hilariously bad the first time I saw it. I'll never understand all the love for that flick.

It's hilariously bad, that's why people love it.

I just find it incredibly boring.

I don't think a good movie can be unintentionally funny. That's a contradiction in terms.

That is incorrect.

If I had stayed awake during Awakenings I might have laughed too.

I think Sudden Impact was one of the funniest movies i have ever seen.

I laugh extensively at Lord of the Rings movies but still consider them good.

The Exorcist is the second funniest movie ever made behind Young Frankenstein.

I think you're supposed to to some extent. It's very black humor, but there are parts of it that are clearly played so over-the-top as to be intentionally funny.

When I saw it, the whole audience laughed when the girl was shot in the face, I was deeply disconcerted.

Rocky- can't believe that won Best Picture.

Apollo 13- the extremely fake special effects ruined it for me.
