Mine is "Nymphoid Barbarian in Dinosaur Hell," "Mommy," "Toxic Avenger 1 and 2," "They Call Me Macho Woman," and "Class Of Nuke em High."
Probably, Terror Firmer or Class of Nukem High 2, got to confess USA Up All Night is the main reason. I saw them a few times there as well Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-a-rama. Nymphoid is good but thought it was better when I was younger.
It's still hard to beat the original TOXIC AVENGER
I usually enjoy Troma pick ups more (do they still purchase out of house productions for distribution?). The House on Tombstone Hill aka Dead Dudes in the House aka The Dead Come Home is one of my favorites.
On a sidenote, I've been wondering about Troma in 2013 lately. I think their "golden years" ended in the mid-90s. With The Asylum and SyFy releasing trash for the needy, is Troma still relevant? Is Toxie still iconic? Do people still drool over Tromettes besides Lloyd Kaufman? Tromaville was certainly fun in its time, but seems kinda lost in the HD and 7.1 dts age.
Troma still picks films up.
As for films I like, my list is a mix of films they made and films they picked up: Toxic Avenger 1&4, Sgt. Kabukiman NYPD, Terror Firmer, Cannibal the Musical, Redneck Zombies.
One could say Troma is borderline done, but some big LA studios are remaking classic Troma films so they should get cash soon.
Mother's Day, the Hanging Woman, and The Children. :thumbup: (note: these aren't exactly TROMA-Troma films like Toxic Avenger, but Troma released them on DVD so I'm assuming they count, right?)
CLASS OF NUKE 'EM HIGH
TERROR FIRMER
TOXIC AVENGER IV
TOXIC AVENGER
Class of Nuke'Em High is a sentimental favorite because I watched'em shoot part of that in the parking lot of a high school in my home town (Paramus, NJ) back in the day. For all I know I could be in the movie milling around in the crowd in the background, but I've never been able to pick myself out. I wonder if there's a widescreen DVD?
TROMEO AND JULIET
Cannibal the Musical is a favorite of mine. I'm also really fond of Bloodsucking Freaks, even though that's not their normal type of movie.

I have never seen a Troma movie. I would like to, but I have never.

Not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing.
It's kinda like eating enough cheese curls until you pass out: Everyone should experience such things at least ONCE in a lifetime.
Just make sure to go with a certified Troma flick. Probably TOXIC AVENGER would be best. If you enjoy that, there's a whole world of bloody cartoonish mayhem awaiting you.
Toxic Avenger
Class of Nuke em High
Mother's Day
Combat Shock
Tromeo and Juliet
A large amount of Troma's films were put up by the company on youtube a while ago.
One of my favorites is this mockumentary from Jenna Fischer (pam from the office) and starring her husband at the time James Gunn (hotshot director).

One could see that as both bad and as good.
Some films are great...some incredibly bad.

Step this way, good sir. Please, park your soul at the door.
@fulci, thanks for the link to Troma's YouTube channel. I had no idea how many of those movies were theirs! Even that horrible Carmen Electra movie is in there!
It's funny: Troma films like Toxic Avenger were very popular when I was at school in the 80's, but I never really got into them. I thought they were too fake, to silly, too cheesy. But now I've got a begruding appreciation for them.
