    Have any movies that you know are terrible but you feel compelled to watch over and over? Every time TBS gets Necessary Roughness in rotation I'm screwed because if I see that it's on I feel that I must watch it, no matter how many times they show it. I sit there knowing how bad it is and yet I can't turn away. Anyone else have a similar weakness? If so, which movies?

    Pretty much anything with Nic Cage. Aside from Raising Arizona, since it was, you know, good. Otherwise, his career is impressively schlocky.

    I just watched the "new" King Kong with Naomi Watts. It was 3 hours and 18 minutes of laughable hell. I had to watch it a second time just to make sure I wasn't high the first time.

    Pretty much any Jim Carrey comedy like Liar Liar, Bruce Almighty, or The Mask

    Any of the 70s D&D stuff like Barbarella, Conan, and Clan of the Cave Bear.

    Waterworld

    Any of the Mad Max movies

    Priscilla Queen of the Desert

    Any of the Star Wars prequels. Come on, you have to admit they sucked beyond all things that have sucked before. Liking those movies is akin to liking George Bush - you're just blindly assuming they must be good because you are afraid to admit just how bad they are.

    The first Star Trek movie. That whole bald chick being posessed by V-ger thing was a little too cheesy. Now... The Wrath of Khan... that was a good movie.

    Taxi. Not the crappy american remake with Queen Latifa, but the original French one. And the sequel.

    I'll second Barbarella, but I don't know if I'd call it "D&D". It was a French comic book actually. It starts with a zero-g strip tease, what else do you need?

    When I was in university, one of the local video stores had "4 movies for 4 days for 4 bucks". We made it a point to rent everything with the word "bikini" in the title. Someone asked my girlfriend what kind of movies I liked, she replied "terrible ones".

    I just finished watching Crossroads, the Ralph Macchio movie, not the Britney spears movie. I was just waiting for him to crane kick Steve Vai at the end.

    Smokey and The Bandit.

    I also have to second Road House. Grade A Prime crap.

    Remember the animated movie Heavy Metal? That one. South Park did a satire of it. The episode was called Major Boobage.

    Days of Thunder? Most Halloween movies, Airheads, I could go on and on. The movies are crap, but it doesn't mean they aren't good

    Anyone remember "Surf II, the Movie"??? Yeah, pretty much any of those 80's surf-flicks are horrible...yet hard to stop watching.

    Deep Rising. We actually watched it while in Japan. Even though it dubbed in Japanese, it was mesmerizing. It was like watching a slow-motion train wreck, but it was on a boat.

    I'm a big fan of classic Arnie camp. Commando, Total Recall, True Lies, Predator... I wouldn't call them good, but so much fun to sit down with a bunch of drunk friends and make fun of.

    Ooohh.... just thought of the best bad movie I can't help but watch... Jonnie Mnemonic. That whole laser fingernail thing was pretty cool if you could get past the terrible acting, costumes, set design, writing, and a berkeleying dolphin that reads minds.

    I was kind of sad when reality caught up to and passed the sci-fi in that movie. His 160GB capacity actually seemed pretty impressive until I got my first portable 180GB firewire drive for under $200.

    I'd have to say it held up longer than most sci-fi does, though.

    Plus, it has Rollins.
