Smokey and the Bandit and Roadhouse. I watch them every time I see them on TV.

You folks seem to have a different definition of "bad movie" than I do.
Some others -
Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn: Please don't tell anyone else that I like this movie. It's something like Mad Max, but really, really stupid. And it's got Richard Moll.
Gothic: Unintentional hilarity ensues when Byron, the Shellys and Byron's girlfriend do drugs in Byron's creepy old estate. It's supposed to be a horror movie. Tremendously overproduced soundtrack by Thomas Dolby.

Someone mentioned Hitman. That might have been a decent film if the back of my mind didn't keep screaming "This is wrong, this isn't the proper backstory from the games, that was so much better than this!"
What's crap about Hitman is it's just crap. And there are a load of bits in it that are there to look cool but just make no sense. The tense gun standoff? Err, it's everyone vs him so what's with the Reservoir Dogs stylee gun pointing?
Smokey and the Bandit
2 and Roadhouse.
Oh, and of course Commando.

I've only seen it once and have no desire to see it again, but Riki Oh: The Story of Ricky is a movie I had to watch to the end because it was so bad. Very bloody but the violence was so over the top that it actually lessened the effect of it.

UHF.
My favorite film growing up, a recent viewing with a friend led me to realize that it's A. very dated and B. Very flawed to begin with. But I still love it, partially for nostalgia and partially because it still has some truly great scenes (Wheel of Fish).
That said, I don't really tend to enjoy things I think are bad (is that weird)? My "guilty pleasures" list is mostly "things that are good, but that I enjoy as if they were masterpieces." Kinds on that list are Angel andBatman Beyond.

Commando
Darkman
Evil Dead II
Cobra
Howard the Duck
They Live
Jason Goes To Manhattan
Predator 2
Red Heat
Nightmare on Elm St 3: Dream Warriors

Hah, Darkman. A film that should give hope to any actor feeling they're past it and made the wrong choices. I seem to remember people wondering if Liam Neeson, Frances McDormand and even Raimi himself would be able to come back from it.
It does however feature Colin Friels aka Spud from Mr Squiggle.
Even when I saw it as a kid I thought you can't cut off someone's fingers with a cigar cutter unless you are the Hulk, and if you could it's going to hurt way more than the victim's acting would indicate. (yes, even then, I was no fun at movies)

Evil Dead II, Scots? It was that bad because that was exactly what it was made to be! :mad:
More:
Robocop 3
Shaolin fucking Soccer
Every live action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie ever made.
3/4ths of Nickelodeon as far as my niece is concerned.

- every porn movie
Due to the absolute emphasis on sex it seems to be part of the definition of porn to have only a very basic story (or none) and actors who can't act. (Feel free to give other examples.)
There's an interesting parallel to video games here, especially to earlier simple games, in that their film elements, like story, characters and music, only serve as an exchangeable foil for the main interaction.
There are more similarities: Both porn and video games are mainly consumed by young males, both are attached with a social stigma and both have lately become part of mainstream culture.

except games werent made for the purpose of titillation, although they certainly were entertainment, but only in the way a game of chess or a crossword puzzle is entertainment.
