Thanks so much to @Entropy for this idea!

What are terrible, awful movies that you can't stop watching?

My dad and brother used to watch Road House over and over when I was a child, to the point that I can yell at Janny to turn that crap if I hear even a sentence from three rooms away.

My kids love The Greatest Showman and I don't at all mind watching it with them, and I don't know why. It's not great cinema.

What are yours?
 
I was in middle/high school when the original Independence Day was out, and liked it quite a bit.

Then I realized how it's actually quite a bad movie.

THEN I realized I almost enjoy it more due to how similar it is to typical B movies, including having so-so special effects even for 1996.

The Replacements was on the other day and I'll watch it whenever it's on kind of in that 'guilty pleasure' mode. It's not a good movie but there's really nothing wrong with it either. I think it's one of those that the actors were in on the joke enough that they could really ham it up.

The movie that I watched was called Zombie Shark on SyFy.

It's a terrible movie with special effects that are so bad they are funny.

I couldn't help but watch it.
 
I love the "Pitch Perfect" franchise. Are they great movies? Nope. But they're like comfort food for me. I can put them on when I'm having a bad day, and not feel so bad.

Sharktopus, Piranhaconda, et al. were my jams before the Sharknado craze came about.
 
I can't think of the last really good movie I saw. I mean, most are mediocre at best.

But I we love watching Lifetime movies. You can usually guess who-done-it within the first 10 minutes, but it's still fun.

Also, I always watch Con-Air when it's on TV. It's awful, but I love it.

That's another one with a bunch of talented people that seemed to know how ridiculous the premise was so they pull it off.

It’s the male, amiright?
 
A lot of great choices so far but this list is virtually endless.
