We are doing the worst-but this IS BAD movies-and we love them-what are your favorite??
I'm going to list them slowly-cuz I wanna drag it out-kinda like a bad movie torture!
But one BAD one stands above the rest for me-and it isn't torture-I love it-my favorite-
BRIDE OF THE MONSTER (1955)

Its got Bela,its got Tor,its an Ed Wood mess-its the perfect storm.
I love it.
And Bela even does the WHITE ZOMBIE (1932) thing with his clutching hands-and the Dracula thing-all in the same scene!-when he hypnotizes the girl! Fantastic.

9) Warriars of the wasteland - Ya gotta love how almost every Mad Max rip off features those dopey swinger costumes.

These are bad ones?  :question:

I see lots of what I'd consider definitely "good" movies on these lists... MAD MAX, ALLEGRO NON TROPPO... everyone has their own definitions, I guess.

Apparently.  I believe we love BAD movies, movies which may also be great.  

A movie is BAD if it lacks in a technical sense; how good is the work... is the film low rent?  Is the writing production acting sound poor?  
A movie is BAD if it is BAD for you; will you become warped?  Will your teeth rot?  
The films I cited are BAD in one sense or the other, but the BADness of movies like CARNIVAL OF SOULS makes the film even more memorable despite the beauty of the images or music (I own the soundtrack, and the flick on VHS and two or three DVDs).  CARNIVAL OF SOULS is one of my favorite films; I also think it is bad.  

CHILDREN SHOULDN'T PLAY WITH DEAD THINGS (1973)

PULP FICTION (1994)

Redneck Zombies
Terror Firmer
Manos The Hands of Fate
Freddy vs. Jason
Ernest Goes to Jail
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes
Killer Klowns from Outer Space
Cannibal! The Musical
Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie
Freaked

There's so many to choose from.

Me love CARNIVAL OF SOULS long time.

I'm sorry It took me so long to respond to me own s**t-but-I told you i was gonna drag it out!
That gives folks time to debate-my second-
THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN'T DIE (1959)
Most folks log this in this in at the early 60's-it was actually made in 1959-it wasn't released onto a horrified audiance untill the 60's
Like anybody gives a flying  f**k.
I first saw it sometime in the mid 70's-my step brother Jimmy (who ended up being a serial killer)  was so scared when the monster broke out of the closet-!)
Ah!-Good memories.
OH! It was gonna be a nudie movie-AND it was gonna have a scene at the end where rats eat her head!

Rare nudie shot!

NSFW (http://s1380.photobucket.com/user/mydoginky/media/tumblr_mm34ymVHeQ1spnykgo1_1280_zpsdkteksmm.jpg.html)

1) Gamera in general
2) Godzilla in general (especially with King Ghidorah)
3) 20 Million Miles to Earth
4) King Kong (1938)
5) the Green Slime... BEST monsters ever
6) Night of the lepus/Killer shrews (lumped for animal hijinx)
7) Megaforce- Saw it late one night at age 8, and it hooked me.  Night Flight how I miss ye.
8) Not REALLY B- Enter the Dragon
9) Lumping some classics- creature from Black Lagoon, Universal Monsters.

Can I add favorite bad television shows too? Meh, I'll just list them separately.

I would have put John Carpenter's "The Thing" in there too, but that certainly doesn't count as a B-Movie.

Movies:

• "Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!" - From sharks on roller coasters, to sharks in space! How much better could you get?
• "Terrorvision" - An alien man-eating house pet attacks the home of a cuckoo seventies family.
• "Fiend Without a Face" - Flying brains that bleed fruit preserves! How delightful!
• "Attack of the Crab Monsters" - Some gigantic, talking monster crabs get a little crabby!
• "The Giant Claw" - It's a flying battleship! A giant vulture of death threatens the whole planet!
• "Attack of the Giant Leeches" - Watch out in the swamp! There may be men in garbage bags!
  
• "The Crawling Eye" - An army of giant, alien octopus-eyes invade Earth!
• "Godzilla: Final Wars" - Godzilla gets even more badass and even takes out his 1998 ripoff!
• "Nagira" - An unreleased German film (I saw the trailer, so I'm putting it on) about a giant crab-snake-piranha hybrid that attacks all of Germany! Even gets to fight a robot!
• "Thunder of the Gigantic Serpent" - Some animal-gigantifying juice is stolen and lost by terrorists, then a little girl finds it and releases Mozler! The legendary rubber snake of death!

TV Shows:

• "Superhuman Barom 1" - Two boys are given a device by an alien old man to fight against Doruge, and his body-part, and creature-based minions! As well as his thumbprint men.
• "Diamond Eye: Warrior of Light" - A journalist is protected by an army of evil monsters by a diamond-incased superhero.
• "Star Trek" - Going aboard on the Enterprise, is like signing up for random disasters to happen.
• "Assault! Armor Jack!" - A seemingly plotless show, where a long-haired hero with two swords stabs two hilarious monsters to death.
• "Ultraman Ace" - A new Ultra is fighting against an alien called "Yapool" and his army of object, and animal-base monsters.
• "Swift Hero Lion Maru" - Who knew the world would have to be protected by a Samurai Persian Cat?
• "Superhuman Squadron Jetman" - Keep any eye on your household items! They may come to life!
• "Spectreman" - A giant bronze man must protect Earth from an evil monkey and is pollution-based monsters!
• "Thunder Mask" - This is what would happen if Ultraman were to sign up as a luchador.
  
• "Iron Armor Mikazuki" - A hero must fight against monsters from his previous memories, including a dragon-mirror, and a flying watermelon!

There were lots I missed in here! But, these are my favorites.

All time favorites revisited:

1) Tremors
2) The Toxic Avenger
3) Killer Klowns From Outer Space
4) Howling II: Your Sister is a Werewolf
5) Hobgoblins
6) Return of the Killer Tomatoes
7) Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare
8) Leprechaun 3
9) Basket Case
10) Carnosaur

In sporadic, random order:

NIGHT OF THE DEMON (1980) A Killer Bigfoot rips off a guy's tallywacker, forces two girl scouts to stab each other to death, twirls a camper in a sleeping bag around and onto a pointy stick, dances with and flings a bunch of teenagers' guts around a cabin, and falls for a mentally disturbed Hillbilly - who has a Bigfoot/Hillbilly hybrid baby!

In other words: required viewing.

CRIMINALLY INSANE aka CRAZY FAT ETHEL (1975) Nick Millard's "classic" about a deranged psychopath (the incredible Priscilla Alden!) who slaughters anybody who dares gets between her and her bacon. When the piles of bodies around her house start stinking she sprays them down with Lysol.

THE GHASTLY ONES (1968) The Andy Milligan classic. He's probably best remembered for THE RATS ARE COMING! THE WEREWOLVES ARE HERE! for the title alone, but this is truly his 'masterpiece'. Just like fancy 1920s silent films, about half of Milligan's films are now considered lost.

MANIAC (1934) If you haven't seen Dwain Esper's MANIAC you need to quit whatever you're doing and go watch it NOW.

BATMAN AND ROBIN (1997) I'd heard this was pretty terrible but hadn't actually seen it until a few weeks ago when it was on FX or some such channel. Another of many unfortunate side effects of these monster-budgeted franchise movies is they are so pre-screened and filtered to death they are rarely anything but unwatchably bland and boring. But this one is a real bonafide stinker.  

I think my favorite bit of trivia on imdb about this one is that Clooney reportedly peed himself while in the Batman suit.

More later...

I like the part where the monster bites a big bloody loogie outta the scientist's shoulder, peers at it, and then throws it on the ground!
