Sometimes we just have to throw on a guilty pleasure flick. Nothing serious, totally cringe, but we have no shame. There is just something about a movie so bad its actually good. If nothing else, they serve as a great distraction from the hustle and bustle of daily life and allow us to relax and unwind for a few moments.

Thanks to AskReddit, we've collected some of the best of the worst movies that people can't stop watching. Enjoy.

The Day After Tomorrow. It’s bad, bad, bad, but such a fun watch. -iAmJacksBowelCancer

4
Armageddon. It is a Michael Bay movie that makes no sense and has scenery chewing all over and I am there for every minute of it. -RudeEtuxtable

5
Early Van Damme movies. They’re awful but I’ve seen them all multiple times. Give me a Kickboxer / Double-Impact double feature and I’ll be there to watch that garbage. -spaceman_danger

7
Deep Blue Sea. I mostly enjoy that one unexpected scene. Check it out! -shiru2k1

8
Ghost Ship. It's a great short film, followed by a very average movie. -Lulelolives

9
Fool’s gold. It’s a dumb movie that makes no sense but for some reason I go back and watch it at least once a year and enjoy it every time. -milkynipples69

10
Gone in 60 Seconds. Say what you will, but I can watch this everyday. -kindalikeacoustic

11
The Highlander. That movie goes all the way around. It's so bad that it's great. They need to cut people's head off. Why? Um, cos it's awesome. Sean Connery in his world famous Scottish accent plays the Egyptian. Why? Because the French guy is playing the Highland Scot of course.

Okay this sounds like it's going to be a disaster, who's going to do the soundtrack? Queen. Queen? I bet they already released and money grab songs? Oh no they go for it, like some of their best songs are written just for that movie. Okay, I'm in. -Awkward_moments

12
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. It's so much fun and I love the Nautilus. -jim_deneke

13
The Super Mario Bros. live action movie. Don't care, love it. -Creepy_Apricot_6189

14
Street fighter with Raul Julia as Bison and Kylie Minogue as Cammy. Oh, and a Samoan bloke as E Honda, because 90s. -Molongoloid

16
Tokyo drift. Arguably debated as the start of the franchises downfall but one of my favorites despite that. -gofuckyourselfmods1

17
The Core. I’m paraphrasing here, but there’s a portion in the movie where everyone says it can’t be done; but one guy takes a drag on a cig and says: “but what if…we could”. The entire movie progresses on that point. -tucktan

18
Van Helsing. It's Hugh Jackman, Kate Beckinsale ala the glory days of 2004. It's got a 27% on rotten tomatoes,. 6/10 on IMDb but there's something about the dry jokes smattered in what's supposed to be high tension scenes, or scenes of sexual tension. The special effects aren't the greatest but at the same time it also adds to the experience. -Jakows

19
The Faculty. It's cheesy, and some parts are almost laughable. But it's a fun watch and I love it!!! --Alter-Reality-

20
Without a Paddle. Genuinely hilarious, and also dumb as can be. -DreamQueen710

21
Batman & Robin is certainly a bad movie. I love it so much. It’s worth watching for Arnold and his puns alone. But the whole movie is just campy fun. -randomnbvcxz
