Thanks so much to @madguy30 for this suggestion - we're going to temporarily do some Monday/Tuesday/whatever day I remember OTs here until the season starts to try and give some diversion around here!
Also thanks to him for this suggestion! Movies you like that you know are really stupid, but you don't care. Not guilty pleasures--you sincerely enjoy them.
A few of mine, as examples:
"Over the Top" - I don't care that the story is ridiculous and the acting terrible, when Lincoln Hawk turns that hat around, everyone in the place cheers! ("Dutch" with Ed O'Neill reminds me a lot of it, and also probably qualifies for this list.)
"Halloween 3: Season of the Witch" - What's so awesome about this movie is that the first two Halloween movies were actually really well done, legitimate films in a genre of terrible dreck. But then Halloween 3 comes along and you don't ever even see Michael, you have a ridiculous story about Halloween candy and movies that is sorta terrifying when you think about it. And a terrible, awful rhyme. Much like whichever Friday the 13th movie has Jason's heart slopping all over Manhattan, this one is just incredible-y bad.
"Mannequin" - I watched this movie approximately 700 times at a far-too-young age. It's just awful, so very 80s, the acting is terrible. But Meshach Taylor was hilarious despite being just an offensively awful stereotype in it, and I just learned that he died five years ago when I googled to try to spell his name. Spawned one of Starship's worst songs of all time.
