"'Manos:' Hands of Fate" is the worst actual attempt at a movie I've ever seen, but it was a pretty decent MST3K episode.
Lifeforce - last time i saw this i was probably in 5th grade or so...but from what i remember, basically, a bunch of hot chick aliens invade earth, and they get their energy and survive by intensely making out with earth dudes, who eventually shrivel up and die because of the Level 11 suckface sessions these chicks put them through. it was a pretty dope movie when i was 12 or whatever.
"Orca". It still bugs me that I saw that movie. Bad effects, bad dialog, Olivia Newton John. My college roommate talked me into seeing it and apologized afterwards. If you haven't seen it or heard of it, it's because it was that bad.
My favorite as a kid and still near the top of my list is "Invasion of the Saucer People". At the time I thought it was serious and scary SciFi. Turns out it was a comedy. What do kids know. Besides, it played at 6 AM on Sunrise Theater, a show that played lots of 50's and 60's SciFi. You know, the ones where nuclear testing created giant lobsters/ants/spiders/scorpions that started to attack the NM town but always got killed by electricity. Bad, but good, in an "of the period' sort of way.
Edit - not Olivia. Bo Derek??? The whale tore he leg off, if I remember correctly, and I don't want to.
Wow. I saw that at my very first drive-in movie, Sacramento, ~77.
I remember wandering off and playing with other kids. Yeah, the movie was pretty hard to pay attention to.

YOU ARE WRONG AND YOUR OPINION IS WRONG. There's nothing "worst" about Buckaroo Banzai!!! Only best!
^this.
I was this close to mentioning Buckaroo Bonzai, but I knew it would bring the wrath of the internets. A friend in college described it to me and I couldn't believe it actually existed until I caught it on TV one random Saturday afternoon. It's surprisingly good ...for a movie with real-life smart guy Peter Weller starring as a rock star/neurosurgeon/scientist/test-pilot/freelance presidential advisor; John Lithgow as an evil interdimensional alien/turn-of-the-century Italian scientist; and all the villians & henchmen are named "John".
There's a special place in my heart for Fool's Gold, which was the in-flight film on our honeymoon. It basically exists to show Matthew McConaughey (I'm not going to bother looking up the correct spelling) and Kate Hudson shirtless and in a bikini respectively; but it's cartoonishly entertaining enough to be the perfect sleep-in-until-noon-get-up-sit-on-the-couch-start-drinking-watch-with-wife-waste-a-Saturday kind of movie. But only just.

Yes, that is the worst worst move, hands down. Even worse than Plan 9 From Outer Space, which is bad, but laughably (and thus inadvertantly watchably) bad.
Megaforce with Barry Bostwick needs a mention here. Dune buggies with "active camouflage" and flying rocket-assisted dirt bikes that shoot missiles. Of all the movies Hal Needham made, I have to think this one was his biggest regret.
Anything staring Ben Stiller. Or his side kick.
Ian Ziering, star of Sharknado, is a Lemons racer. He's on the Mazdarachis team in California. Next time I see him in the penalty box, I'm going to make him reenact scenes from the movie.

make him apolgize for Beverly Hills 90210 also please. My wife watched that crap forcing me to miss hours of SpeedVision.

Well, why on earth did he not enter a Sharknado-themed car as a promotional stunt? Start with an Olds Toronado, apply sharks, etc.

I didn't mention Lost Skeleton of Cadavra earlier, because it was made to be bad on purpose, and it wasn't on Netflix. It now on Netflix, and if you like so bad its good movies you'll love this one that was made bad so well that it is good, but not unintentionally bad (which is the way these things tend to go).
Thought of another one: Black Sheep.
No, not the Chris Farley/David Spade comedy from the 90's, the New Zealand horror film about mutant sheep. Awesomely bad!
How did we make it this far into the thread without a Troma film?
TROMA TROMA TROMA TROMA EVERYTHING BY TROMA!!!!
Tromeo and Juliet
All the Toxie movies
Surf Nazis Must Die
Cannibal the Musical
Troma's War
Buttcrack (staring Mojo Nixon as preacher Man Bob)
and on and on and on.
For you young'ns, here's a sample reel, with a very special Troma actor (who has never been paid with anything other than Maker's Mark) singing vocals: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Vt5G3sC7aI

Don't forget "Fat Guy Goes Nutzoid," the title being the best part of the movie.
Had a short lived band with that name.

I find most of the Troma stuff falls into the intentionally trying to be so bad its good genre and just unwatchable. Cannibal the Musical though is a whole 'nother ball game. Imagine the South Park guys making a musical about a group of Mormon pioneers who get lost and wander the Rockys one winter until they have to eat each other. It would also make a great theme too, for a team with a Mustang or Pinto or other horse related car (named Leanne). Here's a clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCY2ba1XJEQ
I know that I risk the rath of the intarwebs, and I've never been able to bring myself to watch it, but the reviews when it came out were horrible:
There is a fine line here between bad and good. The one thing a movie is supposed to provide is "entertainment value", so most, if not all of the movies listed thus-far could be considered a "good" movie, based on their ridiculousness and therefore unintentional humor. The REAL bad movies are the 2 and 3 star flicks that are generally forgettable. They do nothing wrong, but nothing right either. They are a undeniable waste of time. I bet none of you would ever watch this (or if you already have, you would never watch it again):
Also, I think most of you would like this site: www.cinemassacre.com It features reviews and recaps of alot of the games and movies I played/watched as a kid growing up in the 80s/90s, and some of them are BAD.
Bad car movies? Well...
One of David DeCoteau's endless stream of shirtless-twink-boys-in-peril movies. Includes the unforgettable scene with guys drenching each other in motor oil and worshiping an engine; take note, Judge Phil: an excellent penalty! One black flag, your team has to watch it. Two black flags, your team has to reenact it.
Also a good drinking game: play it with the director's commentary turned on and take a drink every time you hear him smack his lips.
And for oldies: can't beat Hot Rods To Hell.
Car and Driver's movie review rated it one beer can out of a possible four.
I loved "Corvette Summer" as a boy, then I watched it as an adult. Two different movies for sure. However, hookers wearing flippers still does it for me.

I actually have that movie on DVD and I do watch it occasionally. I never said I have good taste.....
Agreed, it was groan bad. I'm sorry to say I saw that too. I remember a commentator on RPM (a formed show on Speed) simply saying it wasn't as bad as he had expected. I guess he was expecting it to be really horrible.
I watched the last 20 minutes of Sharknado last night. It has been a long, long time since I have seen a movie so bad that it made me laugh that hard! My guess is that will quickly become a "cult classic".

Sharknado is the finest piece of film ever created

Watched it last night. I haven't laughed that hard at a movie in a long time. Loved it
They are making a sequel to Sharknado. I guess the next one will take place in New York.
Ok, damnit. I didn't record Sharknado and now I regret it immensely. Where can I find it? I don't see it on SyFy's guide for the upcoming few days.
