Well, theres a reason Disney won't release "Song of the South".
Oh, and they totally ripped of Kimba the White Lion with the Lion King.
I understand about Song of the South. I think it should be released for historical reasons (just as I oppose censoring "Birth of A Nation" ) despite the racist overtones. But I'm aware of those racist overtones. They're disgusting, but those were important films. I'm not seeing anyone trying to stop sales of "Gone With The Wind" DVDs. From what I hear, the portrayal of blacks in that film was worse than SOS.
I've never seen "Lion King."
But c'mon! Aplle Dumpling Gang! There's nothing bad there. Good clean wholesome fun--and really funny!
For me, I'd have to say Tank Girl. It's bad. I know it's bad. But I like it anyway.

I wouldn't call 5th Element a bad movie by any stretch. It has a lot of good dialogue, some very nice cuts, and a variety of other things going for it. Matter of fact, I'd place it up near the top action movies, in terms of overall quality, up there with Aliens and Hard Boiled. Now, yeah, action movies aren't Citizen Kane, but that's okay, because most people don't want to watch Citizen Kane anyway

Honestly I don't care if SOS is released or not. I personally find it repugnant, but admittedly, it may be because I grew up with a lot of racist crap thrown in my face. I guess I'm a bit sensitive about it. I've never seen Birth of a Nation or The Apple Dumpling Gang. Heck, my wife was appalled when I told her I had never seen the Goonies. (She went out, bought it and made me watch it).
But movies so bad they're fun to watch...heeheee...try "Skinheads: The Second Coming of Hate". Or "Tougher than Leather" (with Run DMC!!!). Wait, don't try them...both of those movies sucked. But believe you me, if you watch Killjoy bring a friend a 6 pack.
Or try Future War or Space Mutiny. I saw both w/o the MST3K treatment....but if you watch the MST3K versions, they will soften the blow.
Hmmm I guess the Godzilla movies. In particular, Final Wars entertained me immensely. It's what I point to when someone asks what is "over-the-top".
edit: Heck, even the soundtrack is wild!
I know there's one obvious choice just out of my conscious thought.... what is it? Cherry 2000? Nahhh....

I have the MST3K treatment of Future War on my Netflix instant queue and saw Space Mutiny when they showed it on TV years. Those guys can really take the bite out of those stinkers
Speaking of which, those guys also did Overdrawn at the Memory Bank. That one was strange
Arnie: *holding some poor shmuck upside down over a cliff* remember when i promised to kill you last?
Poor Shmuck: that's right Matrix (yeah that was his name! LOL)! You did!
Arnie: I lied. *lets go*
best. scene. ever.
A movie where it's shameless one liners were only outdone by it's insane bodycount.
