I really like 'Alvin and the Chipmunks 4: The Road Chip', at first I was watching it ironically until I realised that it was somehow actually funny. It's a combination of unintentional humour (like how they could afford to hire the guy from LMFAO (pictured) to have a two or three minute speaking role as himself and to promote the film but couldn't afford to have him play any of LMFAO's actual music), rubbish intended humour that's become ironically funny now that the films been out for half a decade and is quite dated (theodore twerking to baby got back) and jokes that were funny in of themselves all along (the chipmunks getting put on a no fly list as suspects in a terrorist attack).

Somehow the film manages to pull it all off and actually achieves its aims despite it having the lowest budget of all the films and seeming the most like a cynical last ditch cash grab made just before the 'franchise' became entirely irrelevant.

So what garbage tier films do you really like?

    The Underworld films, the Blade films, and maybe the 2004 Van Helsing. I'm just a fucker for stuff with mythical beasts in.

    Actually the recent Netflix Van Helsing fits into this quite well too, but unlike the others it gets better as it goes on.

    Edit: and the Scary Movie films. Watched them as a young 'un, and still find them kind of funny

      Blade 1 & 2 are legitimately good action flicks, no shame there.

      Damn I also love all your selections. Netflix Van Helsing started on SyFy. I like it a lot.

        Make sure you keep watching! It's pure schlock, and that's what makes it fun. Plus there are some genuinely likeable characters in there with real arcs

          I have seen till the finale. Good show. That and Strain are one of my favorite vampire shows from the 2010s.
