By all accounts The Boondock Saints is a "bad" movie but we all watched it when we were 12 and thought it was fucking awesome and still do.

Equilibrium (2002) wasn’t well received when it came out. I think it’s still “bad” on RT but imdb has it at 7.3 now. I don’t care if gun-kata is silly and dumb, it looks cool as fuck.
The end fight where he slides the clips for future use is chef kiss good
This was one of my favorites as a kid. It was heavily influenced by The Matrix obviously
In the DVD commentary, the writer/director talked about how he'd had the basic idea, including gun kata, since high school. He could have been lying but I think he was honest and this was sort of a case of independent parallel ideas, since somebody turbo nerdy enough to come up with gun kata probably had influence from Hong Kong action movies that similarly influenced The Matrix.
The action style and flow is much different than The Matrix, and while both plots are about fighting the system, Equilibrium is much more straight forwardly grabbing elements from classic dystopias.
The tagline on the movie box even said as much: "Forget 'The Matrix'! This movie will blow you away!"
The dog scene absolutely broke me. Probably the hardest I cried at a movie when I saw it for the first time.
Have you watched Grave of the Fireflies? I cried for hours afterwards. One of the best movies I've seen. Refuse to watch it again.
You should try Dolls by Kitano. It's a bunch of failed love stories, music is awesome, I cry every time.
It's the Matrix except the main character has the same name as my Dad. So, A+
Velocipastor is an amazing bad movie that intended to be bad. There's even a scene where a car explodes and it's just some text that says "VFX of car exploding"
It's about a pastor that can turn into a velociraptor... When there's gore it's like obviously fake, like a head rolls off and it's clear as day that it's a mannequin head. It's so bad it's amazing.
Oh yeah, and there are ninjas.

Kung pow enter the fist. Steve oedekerk, not Bob, intentionally made a bad movie by over dubbing rewriting bad 70s martial arts films. It's absurd and stupid. I love it.
So many good quotes from that film.
THAT'S A LOTTA NUTS!
We trained him wrong, on purpose, as a joke!
The Riddick Chronicles. Bad acting, bad CGI, Simple stupid inconsistent plot, one dimensional characters. perfect bad sci-fi.
That Speed Racer movie that the Wachowskis made. I’m not gonna pretend it’s underrated, and I’m not gonna try to convince you to like it. They made it for me and me alone.
They just released a remastered Blu-ray of it! I bought the disc, but I didn't actually have a Blu-ray player, so idk if they did a good job with the remaster yet.
I watched that one in theatres! I also watched Baby Geniuses 2, Meet the Spartans, and the Ridiculous 6 in theatres because I guess I attract garbage.
People didn't like that? It's my favorite movie to watch on acid or shrooms.
It's fantastic. They didn't bother to make it "relatable" or "more realistic", just "we're literally doing, shot for shot, the anime as a movie, and fuck you if you don't like it". It's shameless, joyful fun the entire way, and honestly more movies should embrace the camp and just run with it.
Another one: Orgazmo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orgazmo
By the guys of South Park.
Super Mario Bros. 1993. It is by far the movie that puts the biggest "fun" smile on my face, especially when watching it stoned. It's so goofy in the best way and comes across as funny in a way that makes me have fun with it every time.
I mentioned Rifftrax in another comment, but the Rifftrax version of this and Street Fighter are two of my favorite things ever.
the amount of slime in that movie makes it impossible for me to watch stoned. Like, if I got that slimey, while stoned, I would be freaking the fuck out. Great movie though. I still love John Luigi-zamo
Sucker Punch
The internet loves to shit on it. I've always enjoyed it. It's a visual/audio treat.
See I never got that either. There is some kind of story about escapism and dealing with trauma in there, but it's definitely second fiddle to the fact that you get to see badass ladies with samurai swords running a bunny mech through ww1 trenches and fighting giant samurai with a gatling gun. Sure it's dumb, but so is Fast and Furious
the extended cut is a genuinely compelling narrative on top of the impressive variety of aesthetics & action sequences. folks are welcome to find it cringey and overdone but that's a matter of taste. it's a little too porny for me as a grown ass man but i thought it was great fun as a teen, go figure.
the pg-13 theatrical cut was hot dog water that left the emotional climax of the film on the cutting room floor.
Probably Kung Pow: Enter the Fist, but honorable mention to Chopping Mall and Primo Baby for being so terrible they're amusing.
Six String Samurai.
"Nice tuxedo... nice tuxedo TO DIE IN!"
The Mummy (1999) I believe was panned by critics at release, but I think it's an absolutely fantastic and humorous adventure film.
Ice pirates is way up there. Amazing cast, great sets, the absolute dumbest plot.
Bulletproof Monk. It's corny but it puts a smile on my face every time.
Stuff I haven't seen mentioned yet:
1984 Dune. It's one of my favorite movies period.
Return of the Killer Tomatoes is on my top 10 favorite bad movies I'd say. Top 20 at least.
The Tune (Bill Plympton movie).
Clue (and very similar Murder By Death)
Empire Records
Cool as Ice (Rifftrax edition)
Actually, on that front - The Room + Birdemic (Rifftrax edition)
Zardoz
Original Little Shop of Horrors
Hocus Pocus - "Dance! Dance! Dance until you die!"
Bubba Ho-Tep. Bruce Campbell is a still-alive Elvis forgotten in a nursing home. He’s got to fight a mummy that’s sucking the souls out of old people’s assholes. Also Black JFK assists. It really shouldn’t work, but it somehow manages to.
I actually saw Bruce do a Q&A after this movie in a theater when it came out. Crazy afternoon.
The Drafthouse? RIP OG drafthouse
Were you at Toronto film festival? Maybe he also did it at other theaters
Raw Force (1982)
Martial arts students visit an island with ghosts of dishonored fighters. They encounter a Hitler lookalike running a female slavery operation, leading to encounters with cannibals, piranhas, zombies, and chaos.
Absolutely stupid low budget insanity.
That's what introduced me to it. I immediately had to track it down and watch the entire thing.
I've discovered a number of my favourite B movies through those guys.
I also think that Bigfoot vs DB Cooper could be an amazing film if done properly, but its a shame the title has been ruined.
Not yet seen mentioned:
UHF - Weird Al's good-bad classic
Spice World - The Spice Girls knew what they were doing.
Shaolin Soccer - Yes, Ninjas would be good at sports.
It's a tie between: The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzai Across the 8th Dimension
See John Lithgow chew the scenery as the villain, plus Jamaicans are the good guy aliens. Classic bad movie, but fun to watch.
and
Remo Williams
It's terrible, it's racist and sexist in a 1980s way. But it has Kate Mulgrew and she's awesome in it.
Explorers 1985! I love this movie to bits and never knew it was considered a flop until recently.
Either Master of Disguise (1/100 on RT) or Joe Dirt (9/100 on RT)
is a masterclass in what not to do in a movie. It transcends badness and becomes something sublime. The entire plot is about how store brands/generics are Nazis, and one of the Nazis absolutely chews the scenery in a way that makes Brian Blessed look reserved.
