I think Pulp Fiction's pretty fun. But I think it got way overhyped just because it was by Tarantino (kind of the ultra-violence at the time b/c of Res Dogs), had big names in it, and didn't have a linear plot. In other words, people thought it was a "good" "arthouse" movie. Although I doubt it was really "arthouse" at all...I still like it, though.

I think the best thing about Pulp Fiction and Tarantino's movies in general are that they are so stylish and vivid, they become very surreal. Like that David Lynch guy (although I couldn't stand Muholland Dr. It just didn't click with me). And you either love or hate the dialogue. I love it. Great lines from Pulp Fiction especially.

Okay, Pulp Fiction= good! Not that I thought it was bad, just basing what I've read around various places. Not sure where exactly. Guess I'll jump on the bandwagon and say Army of Darkness. Sure, a bit goofy, but in a fun way! That's more than I can say for some current films...

I'm a fan of Pulp Fiction as well.
But let's not forget the point of this thread, to mention really bad movies.
Blair Witch Project, anyone? Maybe, not quite a movie, but it was in theaters, so close enough for me.
Anaconda - nuff said.
Volcano, even Tommy Lee Jones couldn't save this piece of...well you know.
For a garbage movie that I kinda like, don't ask why cuz I don't know, how about Hudson Hawk?

I think the general idea was stated in the beginning; bad movies you LIKE to watch. Or is it? That's just how I interpretted it. Anyone know any different? The three movies you mention were reviewed by Mike Nelson in "Movie Megacheese", you know. A coincidence?

And now I know that those first three were in "Megacheese" - don't have it, haven't read it, haven't read reviews of it.

"Megacheese" is a riot, though a bit dated (Mike lament's on how JAWS isn't on DVD yet). But still, a nice read. Especially great is Mike's take on "The Bridges of Madison County". Well, IMHO anyway. And if you enjoy that one, try "Mind over Matters!"

Megacheese is a hillarious book, especially his reviews of Blair Witch and MST3K: the Movie. You should really check it out if you get a chance.
