China Cry wasn't too bad.

'Cop' Movies

'SFX' Movies

'Buddy' Movies

'Road Trip' Movies

' Revenge' movies

There are as many categorties of 'BAD' movies as there are movies.  Unfortunately, 'BAD' movies can end up as a category that includes 'NOT GOOD' movies, like Gigli.....

Yes, yes!
"Guys in bad rubber suits" HAS to be its own genre --
Just watched 2:  The Roger Corman remake of "Humaniods From The Deep(1997)" and "Syngenor(1990)" --
Both of these films have really stiff-looking rubber-suited "monsters" with snaggly teeth & exposed brains(!) and slime -- lots of slime.
Really loved both of them, and, to be fair, both had pretty good acting to go along with the cheesy plots and special effects.  
Lesson:  When attacked by a guy in a rubber suit, it is far more effective to roll around and scream than it is to oh, say, jump up and run away --
Highly entertaining, the pair of them!

I have no idea what this means.

In addition to bizzare documentaries are also exploitation crap like the Faces of Death.  I guess they go under the documentary umbrella though.

Also, artsy fartsy.  Movies that try to be artsy and surreal and just fall flat on their face.  I can't name any of the top of my head, as usually you just see it in small doses, not an entire film (the hallucinations in Razorback would be an example of what I'm talking about.
