The corniest film you inexplicably love

This film was made with the cooperation of J Edgar Hoover's FBI so I think you can all guess just how realistic it is. That being said, it's Jimmy Stewart at his most earnest and I can't help but love it. It even features a voice cameo by an uncredited Adam West as a radio operator.
Not Melvin Purvis: G-Man?

George Shrinks spoofs corny monster movies. (Get a load of the character's yell.)

Never heard of it but with John "Conan" Milius and Dan "Night Stalker" Curtis involved, I ought to track it down.
The link is to the full movie on youtube. It is pretty corny, as it was a made for TV film that first aired in 1974 on ABC.

It was followed by a made for TV sequel, also directed by Dan Curtis, in 1975, The Kansas City Massacre. Dale Robertson played Melvin Pervis in both films.

There was an old movie with Sylvester Stallone and Marissa Tomei called Oscar. Not sure if you would call it corny, but I liked it.
Another Stallone movie was called Cobra.

Best scene from that movie is when Stallone is trying to go legit, and he orders one of his enforcers to give up his weapons... guy hands over two guns, a sizable assortment of blades and blunt instruments, a meat hook, a spiked flail, a bottle of poison, and a time bomb.
 
A movie called The Freshman starring Marlin Brando and Matthew Broderick
Did I mention Encino man? Or Biodome?
Or every Paul Shore movie?
Or Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure?

For some reason I have become completely obsessed with Starship Troopers.

And yes, I get the message. I absolutely understand the point this movie is trying to convey. It's not anti-military or anything like that, it's warning us about the dangers of fascism and glorifying war. Don't worry, I.GET.IT.

But still...this movie is just so damned FUN! I seriously have never seen a movie where the cast are enjoying themselves more than this. It must have been a laugh riot from start to finish.

And...Dina Meyer.... :adore:
 
Maybe this link will work

Congo. I LOVED this movie as a kid. I watched it every day after school for close to two months. I just saw that it is getting a special edition physical release, and I will be buying it.

Batman & Robin. Again, I was a kid when this came out, so I didn't mind all the campy and weird things. I just loved it all. Plus, Chris O'Donnell as Robin was an early crush. I still love this movie.

Superman IV: The Quest for Peace. So corny and so bad yet I can see the, well, maybe not greatness but something close, that this movie could have been had it had a decent budget and competent people working on it.

EuroTrip: A very dated high school comedy from 2004 that still makes me laugh to this day. I watch it at least once a year.

Pauly Shore just wasn't the same after he cut his hair. Yeah, he still talked like Pauly, but he looked like he should have been wearing a suit and tie and sitting behind the counter at Bank of America.
