The are a few art house theaters in my city that will do showings of The Room in the same style as like a Rocky Horror showing. People will yell and scream and generally make of the movie in a fun and jovial way. I've always wanted to check it out.

Iron Sky. Nazi's left earth at the end of WW2 and made a base one the darkside of the moon. Sequel has dinosaurs...

Johnny mnemonic is a camp masterpiece
Keanu Reeves, Dolph Lundgren, Ice-T, Henry Rollins....it had a hard time not being awesome despite the writing.
I really loved "My Name is Bruce". That's the thing that popped up in my mind.

Cannibal: The Musical.
It's a reeeally early Trey Parker and Matt Stone creation. A live action comedy musical movie about the Donner party. Definitely a classic.
Not sure it fits “so bad it’s good.” The jokes the movie wants you to laugh at are the jokes you laugh at, so it is an effective comedy.

Better Off Dead.
An early John Cusack film by Savage Steve Holland co-creator of Eek! The Cat. How many montages can you fit in one movie?

Does Velocipastor count ?
Crank with Jason Statham. Ridiculous but fun.
Tiptoes
Samurai Cop
Idiocracy was a great movie when it was satire, alas it's now at best a documentary (at worst a 'what could have been if things were good' movie) Reality caught up and beat it, alas.
Go away, baitin
Moonfall
So bad its really fun to watch.
Troll 2. So many quotable lines and unforgettable scenes. And you don't even have to watch Troll 1, because there is no Troll 1 - at least not in relation to, or in the context of, this film.
I absolutely love Troll 1 for the simple fact that the main character was named Harry Potter and he asks a witch to teach him to be a wizard halfway through the movie. It came out 11 years before the Harry Potter books.

Armageddon is something I watch far too often. It's not good but it's very entertaining.

I'd nominate Birdemic. You have to be in a mood to laugh at how bad it is.

Everyone I know hates it, but I am a big Mike Myers fan.

In a very different way to most of the answers on here so far:
A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence.
It's simultaneously excruciatingly dull and mindbendingly interesting. A genuinely fascinating film, but requires a huge amount of focus and commitment from the viewer. Possibly my favourite film ever
It's a crime no one has mentioned Neil Breen yet. I just came back from a showing of his latest film at an indie cinema. The whole place was so roudy and screaming at the film. I've never lost my voice watching a movie before 10/10.
Howard the Duck.
Good. God. It. Is. Awful.
The Room
Birdemic. Hands down. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt1316037/
RiffTrax put their full riff of Birdemic on YouTube a while back, absolutely worth 90min of your life.

Dracula 3000 was a fucking masterpiece
Cannibal women in the avacado jungle of death. Rowdy Roddy Piper, hot chicks and Bill Mayher.
house 2, worst horror movie ever, do recommend
The happening really holds up as one of the greatest bad movies.
It depends on what you were expecting. If you went expecting a serious thriller, then it sucks.
But I knew what I was in for, and completely lost it when (SPOILERS!) vvvv
Marky Mark talks to the potted plant.
King Pow : Enter the Fist.
I don't agree, those guys know what they're doing and are leaning into the cringe expertly. In no way is this a bad movie.

Anything directed by Uwe Boll but especially Bloodrayne. It was so bad the actors stopped recording the commentary to get up and go get more wine to finish.
Kung Pow is way more enjoyable than it has any right to be.
Without a doubt, for me it's Re-animator. This movie also introduced me to HP Lovecraft.
Slipstream (1989).. check it out if you haven't seen it. Mark Hamill, Bill Paxton and produced by Gary Kurtz (Star Wars, ESB, American Graffiti, The Dark Crystal).. This was released 5 years after Return of the Jedi with that star power and didn't even get a US cinema release.
The award has to go to big trouble in little china it's incredible!
Yeah, no. That's a straight up great film.
7.2/10 on IMDB and 74% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Victor Wong and James Hong having what looks like a riot of a time too.
Sure, it was never going to win an Oscar, but that's probably a fault with the Oscars, not with BTILC.
Whaaaaat? But BTILC is a great film!

It's got to be either Tank Girl or Frankenhooker for me.
It's easy to find BAD movies, but for "Best Worst", aka, "So Bad It's Good" category there should be some really redeeming qualities that make it interesting, entertaining, quotable, or just plain fun.
Tank Girl is a mess, with Ice (I'll do anything to be a movie star and get out of rap) T as a kangaroo-guy, early Naomi Watts as eye candy Jet Girl and smart-aleck Lori Petty leading the pack as Tank Girl. Weird as all hell but some absolutely hilarious dialog ("I had a swell time, but the swelling's gone down..") and it's fun to catch those building their acting careers - not just Ice T and Naomi, but Doug Jones, Iggy Pop, James Hong, Richard Schiff, etc..
Frankenhooker is possibly the better film but super-tongue-in-cheek fun, loaded with with it's-so-dumb-snort! dialog like "Errrrkkk! Hey - Wanna date?" and "Oh, God...She's gonna blow! Duck and cover!", of course plenty of 1980s bewbs for the less-discerning amongst us.
Both highly recommended...in fact, the higher you are, the better they are. ;)
