Well, considering I have framed posters of Star Crash, Barbarella, Death Race 2000, A Boy and His Dog, and Zardoz (among the “proper” films Silent Running, Metropolis, and The Dark Crystal) hanging on my walls, I can safely say that I have a few.

I absolutely adore both Galaxy of Terror and Forbidden World (which I consider part of a shared universe due to the same sets being used as a budget cut 😛 ). They’re some of my most watched blurays. GoT features great matte and model work (can’t say the same for the creatures), and FW has a great monster and FANTASTIC robot.

Star Crash is another favorite. It was my now six year old son’s first science fiction movie (and second was Battle Beyond the Stars (don’t worry, his favorite is now 2001)).

The other day…
Me: do you like old movies or new movies?
Son: I like new movies.
What about 2001? That’s an old movie.
Oh, okay. What about…hmmmmm…Star Crash?
That’s old.
What about Star Wars?

Yes folks the first movie that came to my son’s head was Star Crash.

Is Ice Pirates considered bad? I fuckin’ love that movie. So much robot porn.

And of course Barbarella is my favorite movie of all time.

Cujo - I think this movie is burdened with a terrible first half. The second half is fantastic and features a wonderful performance by that mom from ET.

I think The People Under the Stairs is great fun.

The Fly 2 is another underrated movie. It has quite a bit of heart for an 80’s monster movie sequel. Nice performance by Eric Stoltz and nice creature effects. It’s a nice twist making the monster a “good guy.” Nice. It’s nice.

And Zardoz, as mentioned above. People only remember this movie for the kitsch (which is great, dammit), but they overlook the actually very good science fiction story it presents. Give it another look once you’re over the initial weirdness.
