    Well, I have seen and like most of the films previously mentioned. Given my love of really bad B movies I could probably come up with a list a mile long but I guess I will stick to some highlights.

    Revenge of the Teenage Vixens from Outer Space - This film is so bad that you have to see it to believe it. I was flipping channels around 1 AM one night and landed upon a film with guys being turned into googly eyed giant muppet vegetables by a bunch of of scantily clad female aliens. I just about died laughing and made a point to catch the entire film the next time it was on the air. It was just as bad/funny the second time.

    Killer Klowns from Outer Space - I found this one in petty well the same manner as Vixens. It is almost equally as bad.

    Tammy and the T-Rex - I have only seen this one once but it is a genuine grade A stinker.

    Just about any Godzilla film. I would have to say that Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla a.k.a. Godzilla vs The Cosmic Monster is probably my favourite. I can't look at King Seesar without chuckling and just thinking about the set of conditions that must be met to summon him is enough to start me snickering. Godzilla vs the Smog Monster is without a doubt the worst film I have ever seen - but at the same time it is absolutely hilarious. Godzilla's Revenge on the other hand is just painful and I wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy.

    Any film directed by Ed Wood Jr.

    Any film (or TV show for that matter) with Bruce Campbell in it.

    The Jackie Chan version of City Hunter.

    I like the 13th warrior as well, it reminds me of playing Icewind Dale for some reason. I always notice one of those bear folk swinging a club, but missing a fella by around a foot, yet he still goes down.

    Final Fantasy the Spirits Within is not bad at all. Plus, the 13th Warrior.

    I got a little confused with the topic. I had some difficulty understanding the jibber jabber at the start but yes, they are masterpieces.

    Most Jackie Chan films, as he is my favorite martial artist of all time. Disney's Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin (although I know Beauty and the Beast was nominated for an oscar). Jersey Girl, what can I say, sometimes I enjoy a cute, sappy movie. And the one I was waiting for for years, Freddy Vs. Jason! The ultimate fight that you never thought could (should?) happen.

    I'm also expecting big things from Shaolin Soccer, for when I finally get to see it.

    Guilty Pleasures? Ummm... Alice in Underpants, umm... :p

    Nah. I'm thinking The 13th Warrior too. I just dig the whole Norse thing. There aren't any entertaining Viking movies around!

    One of my favorite movies is Good Will Hunting. I really like that one.

    Dark City is cool. The 13th Floor entertained me. The Whole Nine Yards keeps me focused.

    In no particular order:

    - 13th Warrior
    - Underworld
    - Boondock Saints
    - American History X (the only channel I've ever seen this movie played on is A&E!)
    - Snatch
    - Reign of Fire
    - Dragonheart

    Funny, these happen to be some of my favourite movies, but I never see any of them on tv... :S

    * Waterworld
    * The Full Monty

    * The Goonies (couldn't have this list without it!)

    I forgot to add the Nightmare on Elm Street films, 99% of Disney animated films, the Evil Dead series and the Hellraiser series. All very cool even if they aren't (excluding the Disney films) big-budget blockbusters.

    And of course, Independence Day and Armageddon are always big fun to watch. Especially because I'm really good now at just abandoning my disbelief when need be.
