I have to talk myself out of watching this movie every time I happen upon it. So many terrible scenes that invoke hysterical laughter.
The best in the category of worstness:
Bug Busters (Starring: Randy Quaid)
Kickboxing Academy

If it is 'movies that are funny because they are terrible' you're after, these two are royalty.

1. Bad taste (by Peter Jackson)
2. Brain dead ( same director as above)
3. Evil dead
4. Night/Dawn/Day of the dead (Italian trash classics, not even Romero could beat those!)
5. Man called Rainbo ( cult trash early 80's Stallone film found in a trash-can and then cut-up without the knowledge of the actor).
6. Meet the feebles ( P. Jackson movie, too. any of his 80's films fits this category)

If "Loverboy" starring Patrick Dempsey (as a young pizza-delivering lothario) appears on my television, I'm pretty well screwed for the next hour and a half.
Also, I can't turn away from "Just One Of The Guys", that 1980s teen movie where the girl dresses like a guy only to look like a girl who has dressed like a guy. Breathtaking. Bonus points for this retardedly pronounced line uttered doing the film's resolution: "And who am I? Cyndi Lowww-per?"

This is hilarious. I had a VHS dub of it and lost it. The original movie is called Rebel, I think.

Earlier this year there was a 2-week span where the movie Vision Quest was being shown on one station or another pretty much daily. I must have tuned in at least 7 times. And I honestly can’t say whether I enjoyed watching so much because it was so perfectly bad or because it was actually truly good. I know this, Matthew Modine was fucking great in this film. I don’t care who won the Oscar for male lead that year, but there is no way his performance was better than Matthew Modine's as Louden Swain.
Bonus points for:
1. Goosebump forcing use of Red Rider's "Lunatic Fringe".
2. Louden's older co-worker's inspirational speech detailing a remembered moment of pure beauty when witnessing a Pele bicycle kick, wherein the old guy passionately utters something along the lines of, "I cried. That's right kid, I cried."
