Can't think of any "bad" films that I enjoy. There are a couple of films that had a mediocre reception that I think are brilliant. like Hook (1991) and Cowboys & Aliens.

SuperSnooper AKA Super Fuzz is the embodiment of a kinda crappy movie that you can't help but love. Got a minor cult following all over the world (including the US, where it was aired ad nauseam by early HBO)

timppu: Oh, do Adam Sandler comedies count?

I always get a feeling it is popular to hate Adam Sandler as an actor and his movies too, even South Park has made fun of him in many occasions in the history which is kinda a point of no return. If South Park makes fun of you, you are DEAD! D-E-D DEAD!

Yet, I find quite many of his movies quite funny. I e.g. re-watched "That's My Boy" (2012) recently and still found it funny as heck, laughing my guts out in several occasions. I even liked him in "Pixels" (2015).

In fact, the Adam Sandler movies I find less enjoyable are the more "serious" movies from him, like "Funny People", "Reign Over Me" and "50 First Dates" (albeit that last movie had its laughing parts too).
Definitely agree about Pixels. I couldn't stand Adam Sandler movies until he grew up some. That movie is a good example.

House of the Dead, Bloodrayne, Alone in the Dark all by Uwe Boll are pretty damn funny to watch - especially when drunk. And they're all bad.

Sachys: FDR American Badass
Wow, That Guy(tm) that you used to see in almost any movie typecasted in smaller roles as a small side character, kind of a kind old fatso nextdoor that you can depend on, is still alive? Or at least back in 2012 when that movie was made?

The evergrowing (or shrinking?) list of "Wow, that guy is still alive?!?".

The film has quite a few actors like that in it.

I don't know if I have a similar feeling that his later movies are better than early. Not sure which movies from him I've missed, but on the whole the movies I've seen have been quite entertaining to watch. "You Don't Mess With Zohan" was great (maybe even one of the best comedies I've seen from him), Wedding Singer was quite good etc.

What movies from him do you consider bad? I don't think I've seen the panned "Jack and Jill"; I recall hearing bad things about "Waterboy" but I seem to remember finding it entertaining, etc. "Click" was maybe a bit boring and tame, IIRC.

Can a movie really be "bad", if I am able to enjoy watching it?

I was going to mention Silent Hill, but it has an ok rating at imdb.com, 6.5... I just recall people panning it as a bad movie, and watching it, I was like "Why? Quite a chilling psychological horror movie, if you ask me.". Or maybe I thought people were complaining about it as it is yet another "based on a videogame"-movie.

Breja: People seem to have strnage definitions of "bad". I'd never call Monster Squad or Evil Dead "bad". Or Flash Gordon. Campy, sure, but bad? Great music, great cast, some pretty good and unique visuals.

I do love DOA. It's truly one of a kind bonkers, fanservice trash. Me and my friends must have watched it at least five times now? It's absolutely the best for a "pizza & beer" kind of evening. If you like beer. I don't, but pizza & DOA is still good enough for me.

Some of my other favorites would be:
Ninja III - The Domination. The title says it all, right? It's the best example of the kind of crazy, awesome 80s nonsense eveyrone tried to parody for a while a few years back, and no one could really get right, because the original is unbeatable and already funnier and cooler than anything they could come up with.

Lifeforce - ok, so, stay with. It's about naked space vampires from Halley's Comet. Where it gets really awesome is it's not really a "B-movie" in terms of production values. The special effects are actually incredibly good. The music, composed by Henry Mancini and recorder by the London Symphony Orchestra, is just fantastic. It really is an incredible movie, has to be seen to be believed, the kind of trashy plot and great movie-making.

Wolverine Origins - it's terrible, but it is also absolutely hilarious. The terrible CG, the nonsense story with the magic memory-erasing bullet, the "could we get Deadpool more wrong?" part, the part where Wolverine gets taken in by Clark Kent's parents... it was one the most fun movie going experiences I've had.
It's not a concept everyone is familiar with; watching legitimately bad movies for entertainment, realizing that it's funny because a filmmaker failed to do something, like a horror movie where the monsters aren't scary, just funny looking, or something, so they go to the nearest thing they can think of.

Glad to see quite a few posters naming Super Mario Bros (1993). That movie was hilariously bad it was brilliant in a way.

XVX777: 7. Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace
Sure, I don't agree with some of the design choices Lucas made but TPM isn't even close to being as bad as people say it is.

Army of Darkness.

I found Evil Dead 1 and 2 absolutely horrible but was genuinely surprised with how much I enjoyed AoD. Especially the siege scene was incredibly well made. Pretty much Battle for Helm's Deep - lite version.

Yes.

I actually like Alien³, a film that has seen much hate (until Resurrection came along).
