I like Sliver with bad movie queen Sharon Stone getting spied on in a sleek Manhattan high-rise. Full of dumb red herrings and even more absurd cast of characters, you’ll be howling with laughter instead of being titillated by the ill conceived sex scenes.
What’s your Go-To Bad Movie for a cozy night in?

If I like a movie, that means it's not bad.

I love terrible made-for-TV movies when I'm exhausted or need a laugh. It's rare to find one quite as bad as this 4-hour Irwin Allen shit-show from 1979, "Hanging by a Thread". Cast includes DL faves Patty Duke and, in a rare dramatic role, Joyce Bulifant. Joyce's big, hysterical confrontation scene with her weasel husband, while trapped in a hanging by a thread gondola, should not have, and didn't, win her an Emmy, but it did win her a place in my heart. One of the male leads, Sam Groom, is very hot. The other male lead is ... Bert Convy. A disaster movie that is a true disaster, and all the more fun for it.

I’m more like a guy, in that I am not really into chick flicks. I do watch them, however, but the 70s produces some of the BEST films out there. I consider Sliver to be a chick flick. And I barely remember it, but I remember it being REALLY bad.
Chick flicks I love: Steel Magnolias, Mystic Pizza, Pretty Woman, anything with Meg Ryan, Julia Roberts (obvs), The Way We Were.
I love comedy. Eddie Murphy, Lethal Weapon, 3 men and a Baby,
Really love The Terminator (Arnold era), oh and Tom Cruises’ early stuff.
I’m also into foreign cinema, big time. Not just Pedro Almovadar, either. I’ve watched hundreds of films from all over the world, and remember, foreign doesn’t mean it’s not in English, though most are. Love Mike Figgis, and a few Australian flicks.

OP, a friend of mine worked at the publishing company where they filmed the scenes of Stone's character at work. Her boss said to the staff beforehand, "The production company has asked me to ask you not to look directly at Ms. Stone, but of course that is ridiculous because she is not the Emperor of China. So I cannot imagine you would comply, nor would anyone ever punish you if you do look at her."

I have a different one every few years. The fresh one for this new year & decade is KILL ME AGAIN, a scattershot noir campfest with Val Kilmer & Joanne Whalley (before he turned into a pig and their marriage soured). It speeds along through an insane gory romp with sunglasses permanently on, and while it doesn’t work on any level the slick factor is so high you’ll not even notice.
I’m so enamored of its specific pouting awfulness that I started a thread on it, but sadly it doesn’t seem that any other DLers have seen it or enjoyed it.
