Took me 3 tries to find a bad movie that actually worked for a group night

Last month I grabbed a movie called 'The Room' because everyone says it's the ultimate bad movie. First attempt, my friends just got bored and pulled out their phones after 20 minutes. Second try I picked 'Birdemic: Shock and Terror' and people started making jokes but nobody laughed at the bad CGI birds. Finally on the third night I threw on 'Samurai Cop' and within 10 minutes we were howling at the terrible acting and random plot holes. It took me 3 whole weekends to figure out that not every so-called 'so bad it's good' movie works for a group. What bad movie actually got your whole crew laughing? I'm looking for more sure things.

The trick is you need a movie where the badness is constant and obvious. The Room has long boring stretches where nothing funny happens. Try Miami Connection or Troll 2, those are full speed ahead from the opening scene.

That constant badness thing applies to more than movies... like certain TV shows that think being quiet and deep makes up for being boring. Friends of mine rave about prestige dramas but I'll take a cheesy action flick that knows what it is any day. There's something honest about entertainment that doesn't pretend to be more than it is.
