100 essential bad movies, as chosen by you

[CheezeFlixz]

Rev you should list these in your OP for quick reference.

but coming in at 16 is ...

"The Toxic Avenger" One of best releases from Troma's this film embodies Troma early style and movie making agenda. Pure camp, pure goof, pure B. While it was ignored in it's earliest releases it hit the scene with it's midnight night showing and word spread via word of mouth, proving again fandom can do more for movies than advertising.

17.  I hate to call this a "bad" movie 'cos it means so much to me personally, but I have to contribute HGL's Blood Feast to the mix.  It's the very first gore movie, and I'm proud to say we kicked off the bloodletting here in sunny Florida.

A true cult classic that I can watch endlessly, along with all of Lewis/Friedman's other films.  I have it on laserdisc!

18. Rocky Horror Picture Show - Likely the first real audience participation film that to this day still is shown at midnight in many theaters. Love it or hate it's, required viewing in b-movieology

19. Return of the Living Dead, 1980s zombies and dancing Linnea Quigley, is definitely an essential..

20. The Giant Claw - worst. giant monster. EVER.

[TexasCharlie]

Great list so far
21.  Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter:  Vampires are murdering the local lesbian population, and the catholic church has had enough.  So they call on Jesus Christ, who has his own form of kung fu.  So it's up to Jesus Christ, and his Mexican wrestler friend, Santos, to stop the vampire scourge.  Also, it's a musical.

You simply shouldn't f**k someone with a chainsaw AND a gun

While that's probably true, I think you mean "f**k WITH someone."
