You love it, but some parts also make you laugh. Admit it... it's cheesy. The 1980s seem to take the cake in cheesy movie moments.
My all-time favorite cheesy movie, without a doubt, would be Valley Girl. I remember watching it in high school and dreaming that I would find a boy like Randy... *sigh* I still watch it on rainy days.
My second, and I can't believe I'm going to admit this, is... wait for it... Yentl. Mandy Patinkin just looked so dreamy. The beard, the Talmudic references, the Yiddish slang--it's every teenage girl's fantasy. I'm still mad that Barbra didn't get her man at the end.

Oh come on, Space Balls was classy!
I'd say Mars Attacks.

Anything with the "Brat Pack" in it was cheesy...Good, but cheesy.

Shaun of the Dead
I don't know if I'd classify that as cheesy, it's been hailed as one of the most clever movies of the year. A real cheesy movie takes itself somewhat seriously, and that's what makes it cheesy, especially when it trips over silly dialogue or asinine plot devices (i.e. Xanadu, Adventures in Babysitting, and Fame).

...leaving Army of Darkness and Spaceballs where? I think SoD is hillarious, and clever, but cheesy by the standards as I previously understood them. In light of your definition, I would have to declare Underworld the winner.

For movies that take themselves too seriously you have to go back to the 1950's classics Plan 9 From Outer Space and/or RoboMonster

Lake Placid for intentionally cheesy and for cheesy horror genre has got to be Waxwork from '88.

Touchè. God, that movie has some groaners. Especially all the vampires and their British accents tripping over lines like, "You're becoming obsessed with this human!"

I would love to see a well executed, well acted, thoughful Vampire movie. I believe that genre no longer exists however. The original Nosferatu is still the best! :D

Yes, it was good. It was far better than the average teeny bopper t&a Vampire movie. Good cast, good acting, kept close to the story. Gary Oldman and Anthony Hopkins were especially good. Keeanu Reeves was not the best choice however.

I think Klaus Kinski played Nosferatu even better than Max Schreck
Frankly I'd suggest anything starring Patrick Swayze from the mid eighties to the mid nineties.
Roadhouse, Ghost, Next of Kin, Dirty Dancing, Point Break.....
Jesus, did that bloke take himself seriously....

I'm heart you, gaz. Road House is my all-time favorite bad movie. Last time I got really drunk, I yelled at my friend, "I used to **** guys like you in prison!" There was a 4-second pause and everyone in the room erupted in laughter. *sigh* The beauty of youth....
I still like Next of Kin because it's funny to watch it and see all the people who were below Swayze on the bill but went on to be more famous than him....
Liam Neeson, Helen Hunt, Bill Paxton, Ben Stiller, Adam Baldwin....

Adam Baldwin is not more famous than Swayze.
He is to anyone who ever watched Firefly.
These two were listed here already: Ghost (I cry every single time I see it) and Commando.
I also love the SNL movies: A Night at the Roxbury and Superstar are the best. :)

I loooooove Superstar!!!! This this day, whenever I'm in church and they present the Gospel, I want to jump up, cross myself, and shout, "Father, Son, Holy Spirit!!"
Nothing but Trouble
Starring Chevy Chase, Dan Aykroyd,John Candy,Demi Moore, and Digital Underground with Tupac Shakur....really odd,freaky,messed up movie but funny none the less.

Hard to beat Big Trouble In Little China
There oughta be a sequel.
In any case, the only other I could come up with is:
http://www.javara.net/cinenavi/images/streets_of_fire.jpg
Guns
Liquer
Motorbikes
Dianne Lane
Willem Dafoe
a rockabilly soundtrack
And heaps of melodramatic overacting

Road House deserves another mention. There was a guy on my ship who thought he was 'Mr. Martial Arts'. "Road House" was his un-official code name. rofl
Some of my faves au fromage:
The Breakfast Club
Some Kind of Wonderful
Weird Science
Sixteen Candles
Easy Money and Back to School (with Rodney Dangerfield)

Sometimes when I get nervous I stick my fingers in my sweaty armpits and then sniff them vigorously... it helps me to relax.

For intentionally cheesy horror movies, The Mummy and Tremors were pretty good.
