How about one for worst films? Both films you consider awful, and films you consider awful that you still enjoy despite them being awful?
I'll go first: I love League of Extraordinary Gentlemen even though it's a pretty crap movie (the comic book, less so).
I also really enjoy Jurassic Park 3: I think it took the genre more towards horror/survival, which is a niche that Velociraptors are uniquely geared to inhabit.
Finally, dammit, I liked AvP: Requiem. I thought it had awesome pacing and ambiance and I liked seeing the Mr. Wolf predator operate.

Anything made by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer or the Wayans Bothers, also Your Highness.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Oh wait, you mean films you enjoyed oh god I do not enjoy those films I just said (now everyone will think I have bad taste ), those are films that made me wanted to leave the room multiple times and kill myself.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Also anything by Adam Sandler is pretty repulsive to me as well.

There was a movie that the wife and I rented from Blockbuster when we were still living in Colorado... Based on the title, and the cover, we seriously thought it was going to be a documentary, flipped over the back, and still thought documentary....
Get home and pop it in. The movie was called "Horrors of War" and it looked like it was some College freshman's class project. All the weapons "special effects" looked like someone put the movie through MS Paint (I wont even give them photoshop, they were that bad) and what it boiled down to was the US had a werewolf soldier (that they didnt really know about) but put this squad of misfit and d-bag soldiers into a Saving Private Ryan style scenario, looking for a German scientist. They end up finding said scientist, but in doing so unwittingly sprung the German trap, which was for them to release SS Zombies on them, which they then had to of course, fight their way out of a basement lab, through a warehouse, and millions of miles (figuratively) of forest, back to friendly lines, also hoping that their werewolf buddy doesnt pop off at the wrong time...
yeah, it sounds like an awesome movie, and it could have been, but the way this one was done, it wasnt.
Another movie, and I cannot find it on DVD (it's that bad), but I absolutely loved growing up was a movie called "Blind Rage"... Basically, a rich criminal boss dude in Malaysia (or thereabouts) wants to rob the biggest, richest bank in the country. So he hires a teacher from a school for the blind, who then finds four uniquely skilled blind dudes to rob the bank.
It's poorly dubbed (and theyre speaking english, which makes no sense how they dont line mouths and words up), poorly acted, and yet so incredibly funny and a great time... Had I a copy of it now, it would definitely be my friday night kick back, have a beer and watch a movie while hammered thing to do.

Mostly anything made during the 70s pretty much annoys the hell out of me. Crappy color, annoying fashions, etc... Its clear everyone was high on something when they made movies back then. Except for Benji, I liked that movie.
Please don't try and bypass the swear filter.

Self-proclaimed evil Cat-person. Dues Ex Felines
Cato Sicarius, after force feeding Captain Ventris a copy of the Codex Astartes for having the audacity to play Deathwatch, chokes to death on his own D-baggery after finding Calgar assembling his new Eldar army.
It was excruciatingly bad...I wanted out of there within the first two minutes, and would've walked out (something I have never done) if I hadn't been stuck there with my idiot brother. He conned me into seeing it at a sub-run theater, and even though he bought my ticket, i wanted my $3 back. What makes it even worse is that before watching the movie, I sat down and watched every single episode of the series...and it was amazingly good. This film takes a massive dump on the source material and fans. It's terrible on every level, and the casting was beyond awful...the child actors were so bad that they made Jake Lloyd look like the greatest child actor ever. It's an absolute atrocity.
Movie I loved that was probably gak? Dog Soldiers, it's still my favorite werewolf movie. Pandorum was slammed pretty hard at the box office and ratings from what I remember but I freaking loved it.
Gak movies in general:
Any thing by Judd Aptow.
Anything with Will Ferrel in it.
Anything with Owen Wilson in it.
Anything with Vince Vaughn in it.
Anything in that vein of idiot comedy
I beg of you sarge let me lead the charge when the battle lines are drawn
Lemme at least leave a good hoof beat they'll remember loud and long

You must tell me its name. I need to see this movie no matter how bad it is.
The Last Airbender was painful. I loved the show, then I had to sit through that crap from one of my least liked directors who had the audacity to call himself a 'fan' of the show? Replace all the humor and wit with blank exposition by annoying children? Aaahvatar Aaahng and Soaaka? FFS, it's turning a cartoon into a live action movie, there are actual examples of proper pronunciation, right there.
But it is still not as bad as any of the "_____ Movie" 'Movies'.
Absolutely no redeeming qualities. The fact that there are people who go to and enjoy this utter drek is depressing.
As far as bad movies that you can pump me full of rum and I'll have a good old time ripping apart with friends - Mega Shark versus Giant Octopus (and all movies of a similar vein - Two Headed Shark Attack, Jersey Shore Shark Attack, Frankenfish, Piranha) are all great fun, but the real 'winners' are Birdemic and Black Devil Doll. Yeesh.
And maybe Pig Hunt, but only if you watch it with the directors commentary where he acts like he is making some brilliant commentary on the wars in the middle east.
Rod (Alan Bagh) is a young software salesman living a successful life in Silicon Valley. He meets up with old classmate and aspiring fashion model Nathalie (Whitney Moore) and begins dating her. Things go well for the couple, with Rod receiving a large bonus that he uses to start his own business, while Nathalie is chosen as a Victoria's Secret model. As they grow closer, the couple remains oblivious to signs of something going wrong around them, such as unexplained wildfires and the corpses of diseased birds turning up on beaches.
After consummating their relationship in a motel, Rod and Nathalie wake up to find that their town is under attack from eagles and vultures that spit acid and explode into flames upon striking the ground. Rod and Nathalie escape from the motel by joining up with an ex-Marine named Ramsey (Adam Sessa) and his girlfriend Becky (Catherine Batcha). As they leave town, they rescue two young children, Susan (Janae Caster) and Tony (Colton Osborne), whose parents have been killed by the birds.
The group proceeds to drive from one town to the next, fending off more bird attacks along the way and briefly meeting a scientist named Dr. Jones (Rick Camp) studying the phenomenon. Becky is killed by the birds, and Ramsey, in an attempt to exact revenge, tries to save a busload of tourists. As they leave the bus, Ramsey and the tourists are doused in acid by the birds and all die.
Rod, Nathalie and the kids continue to flee from the birds, driving into a forest where they briefly meet a "Tree Hugger"/Tom Hill (Stephen Gustavson), who explains to them that the birds have only been targeting gas stations and cars and that the attacks are the result of global warming. The quartet ultimately settles on a small beach, where Rod fishes for dinner. As they prepare to eat, they are attacked by the birds, which are suddenly—and for no explained reason—chased away by doves. The film ends as Rod, Nathalie and the kids watch the birds fly off into the sunset.

Really, it's just a reakky bad attempt at an action movie. It does feature Carice van Houten who gets naked every 5 minutes though, so it's not that bad.

Films that are so bad it's funny:
