I mentioned it in another thread, but I will never not recommend Abraham Lincoln Vs Zombies, I only saw i once when I rented it at Blockbuster, but I still remember it to this day so that has to count for something.

Zardoz. The Wicked Lady (1983 Faye Dunaway version). Repo Man. Zardoz. That is an oldie. Sean Connery and directed by John Boorman. It was a weird one for sure. I saw only parts of The Wicked Lady. Star Trek: The Next Generation's Marina Sirtis was in it. She left almost nothing to the imagination? I also saw Repo Man. That was funny. I liked the ending.

Ouch! That turkey reminds me, The Ice Pirates.
And for a deservedly forgotten horror movie, Frogs.
Ice Pirates! 😹 I have not seen that in over three decades. Killer Klowns From Outer Space m.imdb.com/title/tt0095444/

Surprised nobody has mentioned them yet, but any "Sharknado" movie. I'm not sure they count in this discussion, because they are self-aware bad movies and not a movie that was intended to be good in the first place but then fell way short. Of course any Roger Corman movie is on this list. Death Race 2000 was mentioned, Day the World Ended, Attack of the Crab Monster, War of the Satellites, etc. He's definitely the King of Schlock. Of course he goes and mucks up his perfect record with Silence of the Lambs. I think my go-to favorite bad movie is John Carter. But it can be argued that it's only bad as viewed by box office returns and not it's actual content, so I'm not sure it belongs in this discussion. Movies like "Water world", "The Postman", "Starship Troopers" etc were misunderstood when they came out but as time went on they gained more respect. Plan 9 from Outer Space is the best bad movie because it's just so bad you can have fun pointing out how bad it actually is. It's like in some movies the more you watch them, the more you see? The same with Plan 9, the more you watch it, the worse it gets. I never noticed until recently that at the beginning of the movie the pilots in the airplane were using cardboard cut-outs for control wheels. And it almost had a plot...almost... I am not sure about that. Ed Wood and Andy Sidaris were pretty good at making bad films that people for some reason liked. Well, with Andy Sidaris it probably is not that hard as to why people liked his films. Guns and big boobed women showing their boobs and muscular guys baring their chests for the ladies.

Thanks Andi! Finally one to look for! ( I don't suppose you have a link to it streaming somewhere?)
And I give you another humble addition to the list.

Gotta add in Khraniteli, the soviet TV version of Lord of the Rings. So so bad that I had to keep watching, couldnt finish it tho.
To be fair, i think the back story is that this came out at the end of the soviet era, the state sponsored tv stations had a miniscule budget and still did their best to entertain the masses.

Thanks Andi! Finally one to look for! ( I don't suppose you have a link to it streaming somewhere?) And I give you another humble addition to the list. Buckaroo Banzai Mentioned in the techno thread on the 26th, along with Tank Girl. BB a pretty good film of the day. Much better than 'Earth Girls are Easy'. I consider Remo a great film and a modern classic. One of Fred Ward's best characters and well above the Tremors film. Tank Girl is a pretty horrible film but again (to me) not that obscure. Shares a villian in plot with Banzai (Macdowell and Lithgow). www.imdb.com/title/tt0114614/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1The Adventures of Ford Fairlane got a horrible reception but is good fun. Another, not really so obscure. www.imdb.com/title/tt0098987/File sharing sites often list some of the obscure stuff. Wading through pop ups can be challenging and if questioning the ethic, most can be easily rented. Cheers GC

Hey, if we're talking Westerns, how about the 'Trinity' series?
Terrance Hill...man...what a life.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi Somehow I like this movie despite of all the semprini.

I can watch Columbo forever, just love the character and design of the show. Liked Buckaroo Banzai and LOVED Remo Williams. God Remo should have been a TV series. The banter and chemistry between Fred Ward and Joel Grey characters was special.

Some great picks here.
Dark Star (1974)--though I think it is debatable as to whether it is "bad." I find it hilarious.
The Park is Mine with Tommy Lee Jones-.
I miss the days of wandering through the video store looking at a VHS tape cover and renting a movie based solely on the cover art and not online reviews or FB, etc. It was always an adventure.
