For lack of a better way to put it, we're talking about films that you wouldn't necessarily call good per se, but you can't help but find it interesting (story that had potential, interesting ideas within the lame story, a good performance or two, maybe a terrible film done by a director whose work you usually love, etc).
I'm not even sure I can pinpoint why, but as a kid watching Mst3k, I was always fascinated by "Soultaker (1990)", to where I got into the film just as much as I did the riffing. Maybe it's just because of the concept of death being dealt with or something corny like that, or I just have horrible taste, but I can see this being something genuinely unique in better hands.

I love Soul Taker.  This is because of MST3K.  I loved is so much I tracked down a VHS copy of it.  Not easy.  I like because of the concept of death and then it has an Esteve and the might Mr. Chin (Robert Z'Dar).

Here is a short clip of scenes someone put together of the MST3K'ed version.

Good start.

I am very fascinated by this one too.  Again because of MST3K  Cheers.  Again I had to track this one down too.  Found it and again it was not easy.  This movie has been list under different names.

Final Sacrifice and Quest for the Lost City the two easiest names to find.   The cover work for the Quest for the Lost City has nothing to do with the actual movie.  Rowzdower is a buff guy, with a ripped shirt, muscular arms, carring a hunting riffle and looks very confident.  Troy looks like a young Baldwin brother and looks like a very confident fit twenty something carrying a gigacounter (???).  There there is a floating head that looks like Kevin Sorbo.  There is a sword that is floating too.

This is a great cheesy movie.  I like both the MST3K'ed version and the full movie.  You can't go wrong with either.

If you can't find a copy of the movie let me know.  I could probably make a copy for you.

Have fun watching.

Another movie is R.O.T.O.R..

I saw this in Hastings for sale.  Loved the cover and bought it.  The over has a cyborg with a BIG gun in a post appotolipic world.  The movie differs from the cover work some.

Luigi Cozzi's "Starcrash" for me. I stumbled across that movie on Sunday afternoon TV sometime in the '80s (I guess I was around 14 years old at the time) and though I only saw it once, it haunted my dreams for nearly a quarter century. (What red blooded American boy could possibly forget Stella Star and her leather space bikini?)

Last year Shout Factory released it on DVD as part of the Roger Corman Classics series and I had to snap one up. I watched the movie and then geeked out on every bit of the hours and hours of bonus features and commentaries, which I rarely, if ever, do. I guess I was just so happy that someone else besides me even remembered that movie.

MANOS: THE HANDS OF FATE:  It's terrible, of course, and not even funny in a bad movie way---but the bad-dream like atmosphere makes it watchable and sort of fascinating.

THEY SAVED HITLER'S BRAIN: Another terrible, terrible movie; sometimes I've had fun watching, sometimes I've hated watching it, but after reviewing it twice I know it inside and out.

The BRAIN THAT WOULDNT DIE

I find this film endlessly fasicnating.
Endless.
I first saw it when I was a kid.
Its like drugs-I watch it at least once a month.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
