A few years back we had a Bad Movie Night Weekend, where every guest brought an entry, which we watched from Friday night until Sunday afternoon. Many of those cited above were mentioned. Following each film the audience rated each. The winner, declared best bad movie (and most fun to laugh at) was.......Hercules (starring Lou Ferrigno!). Be careful when looking for this one that you get the original and not the sequel, as the 2nd one had a bigger budget and took the story more seriously, so wasn't nearly as fun.

I must admit, I'm a fan of the awfulness of Battlefield Earth. It's like they wrote a list of all the things that people consider to be bad in films...and then crammed them all into one movie.
The Ator films that Miles O'Keefe did are also hysterically bad.
Yor, Hunter From The Future and it's caveman hero hang gliding on the body of a dead, giant bat.
The films of Al Adamson are all pretty good/bad. His most famous movie is Dracula Vs Frankenstein.
Manos: Hands Of Fate is one of the greatest terrible movies ever filmed. But be warned, only watch the version that Mystery Science Theatre did. Without Joel and the Bots backing you up, you'll tear out your own eyes watching it to stop the horror!
Clones Of Bruce Lee, which features Dragon Lee, Bruce Le, and Bruce Lai as the clones who battle an evil movie director, mad scientist, naked women on the beach, evil stuntmen, karate fighters, a nude female assassin, the 18 Bronze Men, another mad scientist, and their own trainers.
Okay, they don't technically fight the naked beach women. The women sort of just show up at the beach, dance, oil each other up, and molest a nerd. As you can see, their nudity was necessary to the plot!
As for "Good" B movies, check out Bruce Li's kung-fu flicks. His early ones were pretty bad, but, once he hit his stride, he took off. Fists Of Bruce Lee and Image Of Bruce Lee are both great.
I also love all the horror films Spanish actor Paul Naschy did. He enjoys tossing 2 or more monsters in most of his films. He's got some pretty good combinations out of it, too (Werewolf vs mummy, werewolf vs yeti, etc).
Also, check out the '50's films from Mexico that K. Gordon Murray dubbed into English. The dubbing is pretty bad, but films like Curse Of The Crying Woman and Man And The Monster are pretty damn good.
Murray also brought over a bunch of masked, Mexican wrestler flicks starring El Santo (or "Samson" as he was dubbed). Very cool stuff. My two favorites are Samson Vs The Vampire Women and Santo Vs Dr. Death, the later dubbed, but not by Murray.

That particular scene was, yeah, especially since that was supposed to be a simulation of the original Camp Crystal Lake. But the rest of the movie seemed to try to take itself seriously...except for little things...
"Our odds of survival are only 8%."
"8%?! That's it?! Isn't there any way to increase it???"
"No, there's nothing we can-" *android is cut off as guy kisses her* "Odds of survival just rose to 53%!"
"Well, let's see what we can do to make it 100%..."

I'm pretty sure it has to be a subtle spoof. I mean, in most of the movies having sex was a death sentence, in this one it revved up the artificial human to a level almost enough to kill Jason. The bit that surprised me was how closely it followed the Aliens plot. In the future a woman is woken up from deep freeze (which she went into after making sure Jason was frozen as well). She warns the student crew (which also happens to have marines) about Jason. They don't listen. People start dying, most of the marines get wiped out. Woman takes control of the situation. The artificial human gets to be heroic but is also torn apart. Etc etc. It was amusing but I could not take it seriously.

I'm going to have to order it at Suncoast, because I can't find it anywhere.
Jim Belushi is 'Gyspy', a one eyed motor cycle mechanic for a biker gang. He dies. The gang decides to break parole and take his body home - cross country.
Lots of people you'd recognize, lots of cameos (John Candy as a beer truck driver who gets hijacked ala the old western 'chase and jump on the wagon' bit, Dan Ackroyd as a Evel Kneivel type daredevil, George Wendt as his manager, etc)
And Billy Bob's Tex-Mex Barbeque and Swedish Smorgasbord, run by a (hindu) Indian. 'ello, I am Beelly Bob!'
