The only film I felt genuinely embarrised to be caught seeing was Caravan Of Courage (if only I had watched the thing drunk) but that's really a prequel I guess.

Battle For The Planet Of The Apes is also a sorry mess.
I'll thrown in my giddy aunt to for Batman & Robin. That is a movie I felt embarrassed to be caught seeing.
Caravan of Courage (which I am only pretty sure is another GL name retcon, as I owned the VHS at one point and remember it only being called Ewoks Adventure or something like that), is something I actually never felt was that awful. It is clearly made for children, and it is made for TV (only we Americans like to market our made for TV crap as cinema quality work in your country, Bingo. Kind of like your neighbor sending their kid over to bring you their leftovers in a shoebox, because they think you are poor. I'd protest if I were you. I don't suppose my country men are still that shameless, are they?). I always found it a really cool little fantasy style story told in the SW universe. Always reminded me of The Hobbit a great deal, not so much in story (though there are elements) but in style. Again, no fancy work of art, but as far as made for TV kids movies go, I find it pretty fair. Honestly, I'd much rather watch it and its sequel than any of the prequels.
And as much as I loved the Conquest for the Planet of the Apes (not saying it was good, just that I am personally very fond of it), Battle for the Planet of the Apes was a rather disappointing follow up.
The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles are something I have always really wanted to get into, but try as I might, have never actually managed to.
I just wish we got to see the Ewok Horror version of COC (as I shall now call it) and had the Ewoks eat the whole annoying family. I loath little girls in peril at the best of times....mostly but Cindel has to be the most annoying little bobble headed creature in Cinema (on this side of the pond at least) history.
I was one of those twisted gits who used to get the Zombies to vomit on Sherry Birkin for kicks so you can see this was not a film for me.
If one thing makes Ewoks look hard as nails it has to be some Helium filled balloon headed girl dressed like a post apocalyptic Jane Fonda fending off a rubber bird thing and a man in an ape suit with big ears who has programmed himself to be really big (only the Japanese can get away with that sort of thing, if they had thrown in Jet Jaguar I might have lightened up).
