The one, the only Flash Gordon. Serious actors like Max von Sydow and BRIAN BLESSED letting themselves go wild, soundtrack by fricken Queen... This film has it all, as far as I'm concerned.
I'm really surprised that I see genuinely good movies on this list like Mad Max I and II, Escape from NY and even to some extent Warriors. But it's all a matter of taste I guess. When I think of cheese I think of bad movies that are highly entertaining thus worth being watched more than once. Prime example of that for me is Showdown in Little Tokyo
And not to repeat great cheese movies like Tremors, Army of Darkness and such I could add Rocky 4
or Conwoy
But I could add a movie that I actually consider really good even if it was box office bust and is not appreciated all that much today, Blood of Heroes of Saulute of the Jugger

Dude wheres my car. Saw it when I was about 11 or so with my grandfather. I watch it several times a year now.
Some great picks here and some I need to remember.
Slither. I did not realise it was not a serious film till watching it, but that scene when they first meet the massive cow feasting person, I cannot remember what the main guy said, but it made me laugh so very much. Which is a rarity.
Rat Race John Cleese, Rowan-goddamn-Atkinson and more great casties in a fun romp across America for money. For some reason I didnt expect much, but pleasantly surprised was the end result.
Soul plane Just turn your brain off for this silliness. No, more off than that. There we go!

I've got two: Samurai Cop and The New Barbarians. I can't explain how good they are.
I must show you:
The New Barbarians:
Samurai Cop:
Glorious cheesy movies.

Ehhh... yes and no.Fat_Hippo said:
The movie itself is a lot sillier than Escape From New York, and it suffers from particularly bad 90's CGI in a couple parts. However, that said, if you like the Snake Plissken character, Kurt Russell is still on his A-game.
In terms of tonal difference, Escape From LA is to Escape From New York as Army of Darkness is to Evil Dead/Evil Dead 2. I'm not entirely sure why Army of Darkness is so highly regarded while Escape From LA isn't; I think they're both pretty fun movies with great lead actors playing pretty memorable characters.
I'd agree with this. Escape From LA isn't a good movie like NY is, but that's not to say it isn't enjoyable. The way I explained it to a friend who had seen NY but not LA: It's like Escape from NY was too subtle and everyone thought it was unironically badass, and so Carpenter made a sequel that no one could watch and not get the satire.Tuesday Night Fever said:
