I like the old Hammer horror movies; there are many to choose from, but the one that's a particular hoot is Taste The Blood of Dracula in which Dracula turns the town's altar boy into the village idiot, the priest into a perv (before it was fashionable to be a pervy priest) and his love interest is some hefty German-ish frau. It's sort of sad that the quality and good looks of Dracula's love interest declines throughout the movies. And the blood looks like that kind of paint you used to in art class in elementary school. It's so bad and you feel a bit bad for Christopher Lee who was a decent actor, yet it's entertaining.

SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY. Everything about this movie (from the psycho husband with his affinity for tidy kitchen cabinets and playing Berlioz while fucking to Julia's ailing 120-year-old mother) is unintentionally amusing.

I think Sleeping With The Enemy is a pretty good movie R2. Not bad at all.

I would like to add the Jaws sequels to my list even the 4th one, Jaws: the Revenge.

The banana boat scene, the beautiful underwater shots and the roaring shark at the end are all worth it.

I also love how the strikingly beautiful Roberts character slaps a ratty wig on her head as a disguise & calls it good. I remember when that book came out - total frau bait. During that period, she made a lot of crappy movies & it's a tribute to her star power that she somehow managed to retain her A list status

Body of Evidence. Have you ever seen animals make love, Frank? It's intense.

I'm sure my #1 pick is on many DLer's lists: "At Long Last Love." Of the four principals, the, shall we say, 'least accomplished' is the 2nd male lead whose name I've either mercifully forgotten or never wanted to remember anyway.

Of course, Eileen Brennan and John Hillerman, in the supporting cast, are their usual top-shelfers, and steal every scene they're in.

Can Cole Porter sue from the grave?

Do I win? 🤔

"The Doors" is another campy mess full of bad wigs, acting to the rafters and the dull potato faced Meg Ryan at the height of her popularity. Best watched while very drunk

I saw At Long Last Love several years ago at some theater in NY (the Quad) and thought it was delightful.

Anyway, my top choice of a bad movie I love is Exorcist II: The Heretic.

My runner up is Body of Evidence.

"Dude, Where's My Car."

I know. The pre-show Jäger shots probably helped.

And I second OP's appreciation for "Deep Blue Sea." Best screen death ever.
