I find the sharknado movies bad in all the bad ways: They use the idea that they are cheesy to excuse s+$$ty acting/effect/plot/etc. To me it makes them just not very fun to watch
Whereas movies that are unintentionally bad have a bit more mileage to them: you know the director was trying hard to produce something, but budget/production/skill/actors just wasn't up to it.
I liked Watchmen (visually I thought it an almost perfect match for the comic), and Sucker Punch. I can't claim any deep reason for liking Sucker Punch, I just enjoyed the varied battle sequences and found the overall story to be an interesting example of finding the good in a bad situation.
Snowpiercer (2013)
Plot: A world where iron doesn't rust ... Oh yay, no such thing.
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial
A redundantly-titled, blatant, and dumb tear-jerker that inexcusably beat out Bladerunner for a Best Special Effects Oscar.

Yep that's a bad title. But the Golden Turkey award for Worst Title Ever remains untouched:
Rat Pfink a Boo Boo!
I dunno...
Some titles that might be worse include (in no particular order):
The Incredibly Strange Creatures That Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies (1964)
Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (1965)
I Eat Your Skin! (1971)
To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar (1995)
Ballistic: Ecks Vs. Sever (2002)
Octopussy (1983)
Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song (1971)
FPS: First Person Shooter (2014)
Lord only knows why they chose to superimpose hands over footage rather than give the cameraman a rigging to shoot his hands in whichever scene.
The Robot Vs. the Aztec Mummy.
You'd think a movie with a title like that would at least be silly fun. Man, would you ever be wrong. I don't known how much blame we can lay upon the Mexican studio and how much belongs to K. Gordon Murray, but this film wasn't just bad, it was dull. How do you manage that? I one corner, a robot with a human head showing through its diving helmet head; in the other, a killer Aztec Mummy with a face under what looks like fifty pounds of paper-mache. They fight! How can anyone louse that up?
And for some reason a third to half of the film is devoted to flashbacks. This when the film came out the same year as its two predecessors.
Where's El Santo when we really need him?

The one title of a film that's puzzles me for decades (not a dumb film, it's actually pretty good) is "Django Kill... If You Live, Shoot!"
I'm really not sure what they're even trying to say there. I get that "Django Kill" is in the imperative form, telling Django to kill, but beyond there they lose me. Good movie though.

The Robot Vs. the Aztec Mummy
I see your robot and raise you:
Wrestling Women vs. the Aztec Mummy (1964)
Or, the re-dubbed so-bad-it's-good comedic version (sadly only availble on VHS)...
Oh, and how could we forget...

The Aztec Mummy series also had another sequel that was put out in 12007. yes, 33 years since the previous movie. Mil Mascaras Vs. the Aztec Mummy. Surprised it too that logn to bring the luchadors into the action.
I watched about 24 minutes of 'Justice League: Civil War'. Had to turn it off when the part came where Iron Man said the U.S. should cede it's sovereignty to the United Nations.
Could be this is one of those CIA financed propaganda movies.

Sounds more like one of those cheap knockoff movies from The Aslyum, the same folks that brought you: Snakes On a Train, Atlantic Rim, Android Cop and many more.

If you think you can do a better job, by all means.
