Hoekkie,

For your consideration:
Plan 9 from Outer Space (1959)

The film is truly awful but has a certain slap-dash charm and enthusiasm.

I've posted several reactions in this thread, but they are all gone. Strange...
Thanks for your contribution!
It's in the list.

Plan 9 was the first Ed Wood film, I have seen. I enjoyed it enough to search for the rest of Wood's feature films, and I consider him one of my favorite film directors.  However I consider it the weakest of Wood's films.

There are some decent scenes and characters in Plan 9, but the motivation of the Aliens never made any sense and serves as a giant plot hole. They supposedly want to prevent humanity from inventing " "Solaronite", a substance that has the effect of exploding "sunlight molecules"." , because they feel humans will end up destroying the universee itself. 

And to accomplish that goal, do the Aliens target scientists contacting weapons research, or military and political leaders who fund the experiments? No, they harass commercial flight piots, housewives, and low-level cops. This Plan would not work, whatever the various characters choose to do about it.

CRIME SPREE, I just love that film.

For me, movies like "Plan 9" or "The Room" have reached such a cult status that they became movies to watch, to be aware of, of course they can become guilty pleasures if someone watch them on a regular basis, I wouldn't think about rewatching any of them.  Still, for me a guilty pleasure must be that film no one heard about and yet you just love it and can watch it over and over again.

Here's a clip from that film:

and Depardieu is just hilarious in that film!

FYC: Barb Wire (1996)

I remember watching this one on television when I was 10 or 11.
I think I couldn't close my mouth throughout the whole movie.  :D

Diamonds Are Forever (1971) gets my vote.

Shoot 'Em Up (2007) would be closest to fitting the description, as it is the only one I feel a bit guilty for enjoying it as much as I do. It actually isn't IMDb rated that low, but does have the lowest Meta Critic score of my top five. Point of No Return (1993), Z for Zachariah (2015) Dick (1999), Vanity Fair (2004) would round out my top five for largest disparity between how I rate them and how they are rated by other IMDb users.

Hey Hoeks!

I'd say the entire Scary Movie movie franchise (I find SM3 the perfect note of comedy and just too funny after re-watches).

In the question, did you mean "which one would you like to see?"

Yes I think so. What's wrong with "do you like to see"?
I changed the text because "would" sounds better. But I'm just curious.
Thanks.

As I understand it, "would you like to see" refers to seeing something in the future which one hasn't seen before.

"do you like to see" sounds more like one has already seen it.
