I'm not going to list them all, there are far to many films good and bad to list. But if you're a TROMA fan what would be your top films? If you do not know what TROMA films are, then there is just no hope for you.

Here is the list of all TROMA movies ...
http://www.troma.com/movies/

Since I haven't seen them all I can only judge based on what I've seen, so ...

1. The Toxic Avenger
2. Class Of Nuke 'em High
3. Tromeo And Juliet
4. Cannibal! The Musical
5. Terror Firmer
6. Troma's War
7. Combat Shock
8. Unspeakable
9. Killer Condom
10.Waitress!

Honorable mention ...
Bloodsucking Freaks
Surf Nazis Must Die!


Oh BTW there is a new one coming out that look promising.
POULTRYGEIST - Night of the Chicken Dead

more about that here

There are more but I don't want to hog the entire list ...

So what's your top TROMA films?

(Free Karma to all that post in this thread ... psyche!)

Poultrygeist is indeed one of their better efforts. It actually have some funny jokes, and not just making fun of it's complete cheapness which is what too many Troma's rely on.
It's right at the top of my favorite Troma films, only behind Toxic Avenger.

I'm quite looking forward to Poultrygeist myself.  Seems to be taking forever to come out though.

I'm also (possibly) in the minority here, but I loved Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger Part 4.  Found it downright hilarious.

Other favorites would include Terror Firmer and The Toxic Avenger.  Honestly, there's a whole slew, but these ones I can watch over and over.

I'm not at all  knowledgable  about TROMA but they rereleased one of my favorite Indonesian action movies "the Stabilizer"

Being my age my b-movie resources are kind of limited, all I have to get to these films are late night T.V. On Demand cable and the $5-$7 movies at Wal-Mart, so I actually haven't seen anything by Troma, but Poultrygeist looks delightful, that trailer does forget to mention the main character lesbian ex-girlfriend,  :bouncegiggle:.

I'm not a big fan of the Troma produced films I've seen (like the CLASS OF NUKE 'EM HIGH sequels).  Too silly, too many fart jokes, too self aware; I wish they's put that inventiveness to use in a straightforward B-movie that didn't mock itself.

I guess my favorite was TEENAGE CATGIRLS IN HEAT (!)

The movies that the just distribute but don't produce are a better lot.  I'd go with BLOODSUCKING FREAKS in that category.

I agree I not big on fart jokes I think they are rather childish and scrapping the bottom of the barrel.

I disagree, a well placed fart joke can actually be quite the jest.

I believe karma is in order for that one.

Man, I'm so mad I missed that when it was here in Alaska.  I can not believe of all the weekends to get sick. . .

Anyways, I like Terror Firmer and Sgt Kabukiman most.

I'm still a fan of the earlier Troma stuff and agree with the mentions that their sequels took a big hit in entertainment value, especially when they just tried to be too "self aware" and ruined the point of Troma flicks.

In no particular order:
Poultrygeist (shameless plug: you can check out my review for it here)
Tromeo & Juliet
Toxic Avenger
Sgt. Kabukiman
Class of Nuke 'Em High
Cannibal! the Musical

and the flicks I wanted to like but just couldn't:
Surf Nazis Must Die!
Troma's War

the Toxic Avenger sequels

No one has mentioned my favorite Troma movie - Ferocious Female Freedom Fighters
It sounds like a porno, but it could be one of the funniest re-dubs ever made.

It took me forever to track this one down, sadly I don't think it's available on DVD yet. I look forward to when I finally have the time to sit down and watch it though...
