There are some old movies from the 70s and 80s that were cheap, cheesy, and still fun to watch. Part of what made them fun is everyone involved in the movie realized this whole thing is a joke and just had fun making the movie. Some have become classics people enjoyed for decades, even to today. One of the modern version of a potential classic B-movie is Sharknado. What are some classic cheesy B-movies you enjoyed? Here are some I remember enjoying.
Rocky Horror Picture Show
Toxic Avenger
Rock N Roll High School
Attack of The Killer Tomatoes

I would count Taken 3 in that category--except probably not cheap

Well, I would not call RHPS a B-movie that was made as a joke just to make a movie.
But it is still an incredibly fun movie, especially on Halloween at a midnight showing.

I don't know if it would be considered a b-movie, but it has become a cult classic and that is Night of the Comet.
I saw a independent film in the mid 90's when satellite TV came out and would like to see it again if I could find it, Red Line. I enjoyed it at the time, but I was also in a odd headspace at the time.

A more recent movie that I believe was done for the sole purpose of just getting together and having fun, Drinking Buddies.

I also think that the Spianl Tap, Best in Show and a Mighty Wind was done to have fun. Pretty sure that Best in Show had no script.

I was a bit buzzed last night and ended up watching Gnome Alone.
Almost a mix of Leprechaun and Chucky. It was so bad that it was lots of fun!
Especially you are high or drunk, that movie could be a riot.

Sharknado 1&2, both super cheesy but entertaining in their own way.

I think you can say that the non-Adam Sandler Happy Madison movies are written like B-comedy movies. At least for the first movie...

I think we are talking wide release b-movies. They don't exist the way they did in the 1950's like say with Robot Monster.

Sharknado, or any of the giant monsters on Syfy like the other poster said.

Asylum pictures often makes cheesy horror for those interested. Also troma films is the quintessential "So bad It's good" film company.

Check out Troll 2 A film so corny a documentary was made about it. And Cool as ice Vanilla Ice as a hero biker. (Sorry Iceman!)
