I'm a media sponge. Movies, and television, and books, and to a lesser extent music, I absorb it all. My favorites though, are Bad Movies. The worst-of-the-worst, the stuff that Mystery Science Theater 3000 would have had a field day with. It started in college when I found a DVD labeled "DIE SCREAMING MARIANNE" at the local flea market. I never bought it and to this day wish I had, if only so I could sharpie a comma in there. "DIE, SCREAMING MARIANNE" would have been much better.
If you're a fan, throw some more movies out. If you've seen these? Try to convert the non-believers as to the virtues of B-Grade slop. Most of these movies can't be classified as "good", but can surely . There are a few I'm hesitant to post, because they're just so bad they're not fun, but from a ... historical (?) standpoint, they're worth a mention. I'll label those in red.
Edit: I'm adding the movies that everyone lists below to this list, with either their description (if there is one), or mine. I'm also classifying them by what I have and haven't seen, because hey. I'm the life of this party

Movies I've SeenRobo Vampire - A man wearing potholders for armor fights hordes of Chinese Jumping Vampires while doing The Robot.
Robo Vampire 2: Devil's Dynamite - Don't be fooled by the production dates, this is actually the sequel to the hit movie Robo Vampire. Time and space don't hinder this director and his vision.
Catman in Lethal Track - The movie that started it all for me, watch in fascination as Catman never once comes into contact with the main villain. It should be noted that this, and many other movies by this director, are nothing more than full length movies spliced and dubbed.
Catman in Boxer's Blow - an excellent worm-eating torture scene can't save this from dreaded Sequelitis.
Meatball Machine - You have to see it to believe it, as aliens turn humans into screw-eyed cyborgs with rubber weapons, who fight to the death gladiator-style to eat giant testicles that double as the Alien Control Rooms now growing off their bodies.
Track of the Moon Beast - Something about a giant were-lizard, and Johnny-The-Worst-Indian-Ever? I had to drink a LOT to get through this one.
Crippled Masters - A unremarkable Chop Socky flick that has the notable distinction of featuring performers from the local freak circus, a guy with no legs and a guy with no arms.
Freaks - A love story set in a circus side show with real side show freaks, this movie disturbed my mother so much she refuses to even acknowledge it exists.
Enter...Zombie King! - Mexican Wrestlers wander the land, fighting zombies for no apparent reason. It features a girl so ugly even a mask can't help her.
Salo: 120 Days of Sodom - A test of endurance, and one that can only be recommended to a few.
Vase de Noches (The Wedding Trough) - The last man on earth rapes the sow he loves and tried to raise her mutant piglets after she commits suicide, all without dialog and the barest hint of music. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I was bored to tears with a movie lovingly referred to as "That pig fucking movie".
Shark Attack 3 - One of the best shark movies ever made, with the
best pickup line ever and the
best jetski escape ever.ZARDOZHercules in New York - Such an absurd movie, especially when you hear the completely unmanly dubbing they gave Ahnold.
Bubba Ho-Tep - Bruce Campbell as a guy who thinks he's Elvis and Ossie Davis as a guy who thinks he's JFK save a nursing home from mummies. Yes, it's as awesome as it sounds.
Dead Alive (aka Braindead) - Peter Jackson turns zombie movies on their head with kung-fu priests, people eating pus, the best claymation this side of King Kong, and more blood then you're likely to have seen.
Bad Taste - Watch this movie about people-eating aliens that took
FOUR YEARS to film. Then think to yourself, "They gave Peter Jackson HOW much money to make Lord of the Rings?"
Meet the Feebles - Watch this movie about a sex-crazed, drug using puppet broadway troop, and think to yourself, "They gave Peter Jackson HOW much money to make Lord of the Rings?"
Black Sheep - New Zealand is overrun with mutant, flesh eating sheep, oh the humanity!
Barn of the Blood Llamas - Red Neck's start dropping like flies as they run afoul of viscious, acid spitting, flesh eating llamas.
Plan 9 from Outer Space - Almost staring Bela Lugosi!
Yet to be SeenTroll 2Dracula vs. Billy the KidSilent Night, Deadly Night 2Kungfu from Beyond the Grace - not much info on IMDB...
Starship Troopers 2Undeafable - realizing it was directed by the guy who did the Catman, Robo Vampire, and soon to be added Thunder Ninja Kids movies, this is now a must see.
RottweilerThe Lost Skeleton of Cadavra - holy crap, this looks amazing.
