It must be confessed that I like horrible movies. The best horrible movie I have seen was the horror classic "The Mask Of Death" of 1964, that was the only horror movie which shocked me but other horror movies such as The Ring or The Grudge were like goodnight-stories for me!
If you're into horrible movies, you must see 'Plan 9 From Outer Space'. It's so bad it's great.
Waterworld has been dissed by just about everyone, I think. But I loved it. saw it twice in the theater and twice as a rental. It takes a lot of suspension-of-disbelief to enjoy it, though.
The Butterfly Effect has a 33% rating at Rotten Tomatoes (critics) but it has a community rating of 72. I think it's a good movie with a great ending.
Dark Knight has got to be THE most overrated movie I've seen in years. Iron Man is a better superhero movie IMO.
The Japanese Godzilla movies are great. King Kong vs. Godzilla, Godzilla vs. Mothra, Invasion of Astro-Monster, Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla. True masterpieces of high-end cinematics.
Watch this masterpiece of the inconsequential from the UK.Originally Posted by Mr Endon

Thanks for that glistening pearl, Brian! It ranges between disturbingly funny and plain disturbing.
Huh, that was really scary.
On a decidedly lower level of artistic bodywork: Warlords of Atlantis from 1978

Haha, dear me, that's bona fide bad.
By the way, here's the trailer of 'Plan 9 from Outer Space':

If this doesn't whet your appetite for kitsch cinema, I don't know what does!
Here's the film itself:

Bonus clip: It's called 'the worst line reading ever'. Well, judge for yourselves:

My flatmates and I had a competition to see who could find the worst films imaginable - we really came up with some crackers!
Ecks vs. Sever - The most incoherent action film ever made. Although the plot makes absolutely no sense, it really is hilarious. My personal favourite is the villain, who is both the head of the CIA and a major crimelord, without anyone apparently noticing, despite the fact that his disguise merely involves putting on a fedora, and turning his collar up. He doesn't even change his name, or anything. Oh yeah, and the toxic frog-bot is entirely pointless...
The Avengers - The modern remake, where you get to see Shaun Connery lose his dignity by putting on a teddy bear costume.
Manos, The Hands of Fate - Written, directed, produced, dubbed and starring a fertilizer salesman from El Paso by the name of Harold P. Warren, this really is a car-crash of a film. The villain looks like Freddy Mercury in a poncho, and his henchman has a threatening knee disfigurement.
Dead or Alive - succinctly described as "a porno without the sex."
And finally, coming soon to a bargain bin near you:

"I should only believe in a God that would know how to dance. And when I saw my devil, I found him serious, thorough, profound, solemn: he was the spirit of gravity- through him all things fall. Not by wrath, but by laughter, do we slay. Come, let us slay the spirit of gravity!" - Nietzsche
This may be a bit off topic but this has to be one of the funniest
one liners ever.

Hmm… That alien landscape toward the end of the clip looks suspiciously like a garden in Surrey.
Hard to imagine that whilst we were making masterpieces such as this - the British Empire was crumbling!

Killer Klowns From Outer Space
Awful 80's nonsense, so funny yet so bad. Space clowns running around with pop-corn guns turning people into candy cones. Ah the 80's...
"And the worms, they will climb
The rugged ladder of your spine"
I thought you were making it up so I checked it out in my film guide. Here's what they say:
Alien Clowns invade Earth in a spacecraft masquerading as a circus tent; they intend to cocoon the local population in candy floss and suck out their life juices, unless two teens and a cop can stop them.
I was about to go and lie down in a darkened room, when I spotted this one among the reviews on the same page.
Killer Tongue.
Following her close encounter with an alien meteorite, amoral bank robber Melinda Clarke inexplicably grows an 18ft-long tongue. which commits all manner of gory crimes on nuns, escaped prisoners and other lust-crazed victims. A tacky collage of hammy performances and shaky special effects.
There's nothing more to be said if only because words fail me.
Hey, Killer Klowns has some great visual ideas, if you like movies and can bare the campiness of horror flicks of the 70's and 80's, go for it.
Killer Tongue sounds like a bit too much for me though.
