Cheesy old genre movies that you like anyway

Last night I pulled out my library's copy of The Black Hole DVD and watched it. Sure, it's got a pretty bad story, and the ending makes no sense whatsoever, but I've always liked this movie. I remember as a kid, when it was new, seeing it at a drive-in with my folks as a double feature (with Murder by Death, I think.) The actual image of the black hole itself is still pretty stunning, and a few of the other shots are also pretty nifty. I'm especially thinking of the pan over the big ship (the Cygnus) and some of the meteor storm shots, particularly the big one rolling down the tube at the cast as they rush to cross the bridge.

What other movies do you like, even knowing that they really aren't very good at all?

"The Rocky Horror Picture Show". Take away the songs and the audience, and it's a really bad movie. I can't bear to watch it on TV. And "Straight to Hell", with Courtney Love, Joe Strummer, and Elvis Costello. I've lost count of how many times I've watched that.

The Sword and the Sorceror. God-awful, but Oh how I love it so!
The Black Hole. Ditto for me. I don't think the ending made no sense, I just think it was ham-handed. I loved the robot designs in this movie, bar-none. Just the fact that they clearly weren't just guys in make-up made me happy-happy.
Every Godzilla flick ever made, but especially Destroy All Monsters! I mean, come on: it's got secret agents, aliens, giant monsters destroying cities, lasers....what's not to love?

I'm sure there are tons that I just can't think of off the top of my head.
