Kung Fu Hustle - Hilarious comedy AND damn good martial arts movie. Watch it now.
I actually spit my drink out from laughing while watching this. Watch the (intentionally) bad English dub for maximum effect.

Another guilty pleasure movie is white chicks, you should watch it to laugh at how bad it is.

ಠ_ಠ

Did you just compare Kung Fu Hustle to White Chicks? I still have PTSD from that shit, put up a trigger warning next time.

...Alright, some of my groans might have transitioned into schadenfreude chuckles.

It is definitely bad, but you have just got to laugh at the movie as a whole once in a while.

never seen kung fu hustle mind you, may watch it in the weekend.

Yeah I know. :P Just joking around.
The humor in Kung Fu Hustle, despite it being a good movie, is a pretty close match to the kind of meta-humor of a so-bad-it's-good one. You would probably like it.

As for a good movie I've seen recently that wasn't an outright comedy... I'd suggest Adaptation. Very well-written, even the parts that were written badly on purpose. Also Nicolas Cage. This is a rare movie that I would actually suggest reading up on a bit before watching, though obviously you should still avoid plot spoilers beyond the premise.

Watched V/H/S and V/H/S 2, both found footage horror anthologies, both worth checking out but I found the second one to be better.

Recently watched Withnail and I with a friend and would suggest it. I'd seen it before, but had forgotten how funny it is.

I'd read through this thread, it's got some good lists.

One of my recent favorites was Pontypool. The way it generates suspense is quite unique, both in the central mechanic and how it makes you use your imagination.

Cabin in the Woods is good, but the first Evil Dead is mandatory viewing. Otherwise you won't realize it's half comedy.

The Coen brothers have made a load of good movies, I'd recommend most of them. Fargo's a great dark comedy, Big Lebowski's a goddamn classic, No Country for Old Men's a good action film.

Unfortunately Netflix doesn't allow access to watch history after cancelling a subscription, but I could recommend dozens of terrible B movies that are great for laughs. If you're using Netflix, I'd also recommend the foreign section (hurr der hipster, yeah I think Hollywood's making garbage), as I remember some quality stuff coming out of places such as Korea and Eastern Europe.

I can never get people to watch The Room for more than half an hour. I guess it's an acquired taste.

I'd say my favorite genres of shit are '40-60s sci-fi and propaganda, '70s exploitation, '80-90s horror, and of course classics like The Room. If I'm stuck just watching cable in a hotel or something, then that one sci-fi channel churns out loads of garbage like the Megashark movies that are usually pretty entertaining, but it kind of lost its charm once they turned self-aware and made Sharknado.
