"Bad" movies you love
Seeing Tisha and Xan post about Mallrats inspired this post....
What movie that is considered bad by critics and/or the general public do you love?
Re: "Bad" movies you love

Son in Law is the best Pauly Shore movie there is. I also really like Encino Man (I know! lol).
Let's see. You already mentioned my love of Mallrats.
My favorite movie of all time is The Outsiders, which I don't think exactly did wonderful things at the box office (and most people hate it because it's not all that true to the book).
Oh, and I REALLY REALLY love that movie Pauly (about the parrot) but no one else seems to like it at all. It just kills me every time though...I can get all teary eyed just thinking about it.

For some reason that made me think of the fact that I LOOOOOOOOVE Deuce Bigalow, Male Gigalo!!! lmao Seriously, the lady with Tourette's? Funniest sh!t ever. I LITERALLY almost died laughing (I was sick the first time we watched it, and coughing and like almost dying anyway and then I starte laughing and I could NOT breath).
Also, another one came up earlier this morning, that I am guessing the critics didn't like too much... Summer School. I also really really love that movie. In fact, I really want to watch it right now. lol

It breaks my heart that people consider Mallrats a bad movie. *sniff* I adore that movie so. much. One of our potential pooch names is Brodie, for Jason Lee's character. I don't think a day goes by that I don't quote that movie in some form or another.
Otherwise, I'd have to say Tommy Boy, which I have probably seen at least 30 times. I pretty much watch it every time it's on, and I quote the whole thing right along with it. Fortunately, my husband finds it endearing.
Oh, and Overboard, which no one but me loves.
Both of these, yes!!! I LOVE Overboard.
We also really like Captain Ron!

I had a party when my copy of Overboard came in from Amazon!!! I also have Cocktail in my possession, which I always get made fun of for by Zach's friends. I always tell them they can make fun of my movie selection after they grow up and drink real beer (they always bring over Keystone Light - who wants to drink piss in a can? Seriously.)

Can we count made-for-tv movies, too? Because I have a whole list of those: Friends til the End, Death of a Cheerleader, Mother, May I Sleep With Danger?, and the Betty Broderick movies are my all-time favorites. But I basically loved any of the movies of the week on NBC. There was one where Zack Morris raped DJ Tanner, one where Kevin Arnold killed DJ Tanner, and one where Six and Hilary Swank rushed a sorority and Six was killed during pledge week. (Zack Morris was in that one, too, as Hilary Swank's co-reporter boyfriend.) Oh! And one where Courtney Thorne Smith was the Cow Princess, and she drove around in a pink convertible with cow-fabric interior stalking Tracy Gold because she was in love with TG's husband. And I think she ends up killing Tracy Gold in a barn or something - the details are fuzzy.
... I may need help.
OMG! Love all of those!
There was one back in the 80's called something like "Too Young to be a Dad" or something that I always loved. There's one from 2002 with the same title, but it wasn't the same movie (unless it was a remake).
I also love (listed in the IMDB of the current TYTBAD page) For Keeps and Immediate Family. Neither of those were made for TV, but are cheesey enough that they could have been.
Oh and this will make me seem super creepy, but I already liked that made for tv movie with Jo from Facts of Life where her husband beat her horribly and slit her throat! In front of the cops! (god, I sound awful for "liking" this movie) and she almost died, but went to court and when they asked her to raise her right hand, she couldn't because he'd damaged her right arm so much that she had to use her left arm! And that like, totally won her case! I ate that up when I was kid.
Found it! It's called, "A Cry for Help: The Tracey Thurman Story". I did remember that it was based on a true story. I think that's what sucked me in as a kid.

Texas Chainsaw was based on real events, just not in that exact way. Silence of the Lambs, Texas Chainsaw, and Psycho are based on the same guy (Ed Gain); he had a very varied m.o.
Yes, I realized this makes me sound totally creepy but I love horror movies and history and there was a serial killer museum near my apartment in Italy.
I wouldn't say I love this movie but I did find it interesting and was surprised by how much it was universally hated by fans and critics: The Happening. I didn't think it was as awful as it was made out to be. Guilty pleasure movies would be Island of the Blue Lagoon and Return to the Blue Lagoon.
Oh, I know that NOW... but when I was 5? Not so much. I LITERALLY thought Texas was jsut full of Leatherface guys running around killing anyone who crossed the border.

The Sweetest Thing!!!
omfg do I love this stupid movie
I remember the Tracey Thurman story - I watched it a few times. And Too Young to Be a Dad reminds me of "Daddy," the Danielle Steel miniseries - Patrick Duffy's wife takes off and leaves him as a single dad, and Ben Affleck is his teenage son who knocks up his girlfriend. And then she ditches town and leaves poor Ben Affleck to raise the baby.
Oh! And there was an eating disorder one, too. Where Lynda Carter played the mom, and there's a scene where she's yelling at her daughter trying to get her to confess that she has an eating disorder. And every time my former roommate and I watched it, my roommate would yell, "use your lasso of truth, Wonder Woman!" and it still cracks me up to think about.
One more tv movie, and then I will shut up- the Mafia wife one, with Melissa Gilbert. It's awesomely 80s.
And on the non-tv movie front, I totally forgot about Fear. I love that movie. My husband and I will occasionally yell, "JUST LET ME IN THE EFFING HOUSE!!" at each other, for no apparent reason.
Ok, the mafia one you mentioned reminded me of the movie Married to the Mob with Michelle Pfeiffer that I really REALY loved back in the day.
I also like Fear and saw it twice in the theaters. My cousin and I asked for it from Santa that year (at our grandma's house) and "santa" accidentally got us The Fear instead.
LMAO This is a DVD, but has the same cover as our VHS copies did.
Your "let me in the effing house" thing reminded me of the time my friends and I watched, "Heat" and (I think) Al Pacino yells, "Give me all your guns!" but we heard it as "Give me all your gum!" and we sometimes still yell that at each other, 15 years later. lol

TTC Since January 2011 - We have bad spermOh, I definitely get the Son-in-Law vote...and Encino Man, for that matter. I even loved Brendan Fraser's cameo/Encino Man reference in Son-in-Law! :-)
Flame away, but I loved "Blast From the Past" with Brendan Fraser (no I do NOT have a thing for Brendan, even though I also love "The Mummy"), Alicia Silverstone, Christopher Walken, and Sissy Spacek. Speaking of Alicia S., I also liked Clueless. She cracked me up in that movie!
Did anyone ever see "Undercover Blues" with Dennis Quaid and Kathleen Turner (and even Stanley Tucci in his early days)? Yeah--loved that one too.
