What a great thread. Oh, how about Superman IV. Dog.

Superman IV is one of those dramatic movies that is so horribly awful that ends up being unintentionally good when viewed as a comedy. If I remember the story about it, after Superman II had been a big hit the studio had contracted with the actors and DC Comics for two more movies. The spent a fortune on Superman III (the Richard Pryor one) which ended up being a flop. They didn't really want to even make the fourth but for contractual reason they either had to or lose the rights to other DC Franchises. So the subcontracted it out to a small studio, hired a director with no experience and gave it virtually no budget. The special effects are comical, they were garbage even by mid-1980's standards and today they are flat out hilarious.

I don’t know if I ever saw that one, though it does ring a bell. I would generally watch a movie just for Margot Kidder.
