The Core.

It is shit, but it is marvellous shit. I will always watch it if I see it on the TV Guide/Netflix.

Same with Oceans 11.

Idiocracy... stupid but brilliant.. turned out it was a documentary by 2016.

Prometheus is one of my facourite comedies.

Top Secret - I almost know it backwards but still cracks me up

Fuck off! That's not a Bad Film. It's brilliant and a classic.

It is indeed brilliant - so wonderfully silly.

What is the condition of Sergeant Kruger?

Very well, let me know if there is any change in his condition.

General Streck, German High Command:
He's dead.

FM that was sh*t of epic proportions.

'Dark Star' a complete low budget misfire but oddly fun to watch

Early John Carpenter. Great as always!

How TF does Dark Star come into the category defined in the OP? Absolute cult classic. Low budget does not necessarily equate to crap. I doubt 12 Angry Men cost more than $2 to make.

Assault on Precinct 13 is one of those films I can watch every time it comes on.

Have it on my computer. 8% RT / 5.3 IMDB ... actually seething now seeing some of the reviews!

Yeah, good one as well. They Live is my favorite.

Tremors

Good call

I have to throw in sharknado. It’s so terrible it’s funny.

There were a few terrible films which back then I thought were brilliant, but almost certainly wouldn't stand the test of time, like Weird Science.

Does Mamma Mia qualify, since it's actually so knowing in its awfulness but brilliant because of it?

On the same line, & also staring the late, great, Fred Ward, I'll nominate Remo Williams

The subject of Tremors, RLM's Mike and Jay started a new segment to talk about one of their favourites! It's been a while since I've watched it, but the one critique I remember was the bad and unnecessary animation when Gross and McIntyre shoot up the one that busts into their basement.
