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.
The ewok movies had different names because elsewhere in the world they got theatrical showings but not in the good old usa. Caravan of Courage may have been the european theatrical title?
I think there are different title cards one for ewok adventure and caravan of courage. I believe they used the high quality film prints for the dvd and not the low qualty vhs masters or broadcast masters they used to air on the disney channel.
Young Indy dvd's edited out old indy from the tv version. Lucas is notorious for not leaving well enough alone. But perhaps od indy was removed from canon because of kotcs, i'm scratching my head in confusion as to why they made this change. Did they cut it for rights reasons like they did not want to pay the old actor royalties or just thought in the end old indy was a bad idea after the fact. Jar Jar binks in episode 1 was a bad idea after the fact, having hayden in episode II and III was a bad idea after the fact but you don't see either being removed from the dvd's.
