This is NOT a list of shit movies. Shit movies are ten-a-penny.
This is a list of shit, brainless movies that you'd watch anyway, unable to tear yourself away from what is unfolding on the screen, despite the sheer shitness. And here lies the idfference between a mere bad film and a shit movie. Shit movies invite popcorn, bad films are fit only for scorn.
It's an important distinction. For example, I would watch Raise the Titanic because it's bad. I would not watch Titanic, because life's too short to waste my life watching again. Also, Pretty Woman.

Starship troopers. Teh end
Starship troopers is on the money. Also, Flash Gordon: although I would never class it as shit, being as it is an utter masterpiece with a soundtrack of surpassing beauty, I imagine that it would be classified by many as shit- The Third Man it ain't- and so fit into your list.
The Vikings: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052365/
For the full benefit, you need to play the wonderfully elaborate warning horn part on a banana.
Cowboys and Aliens. I've not made my mind up if it's bad or shit yet.
Police Academy - actually the first one was fun - but it all went wrong from there.
Tempted to include Tremors but it's deliberately B Movie, not unintentionally so and hugely enjoyable even though it seems to be on every time I turn on the telly.
Orange: The Vikings is my dad's favourite bad movie
My dad always made us sit down and watch the Vikings (he also made us watch Drums Along the Mohawk but I notice he left the room for that one). It's where I learnt about the banana as instrument.
Anyone who holidayed in pre-genocidal Yugoslavia was told by tour guides that The Vikings was filmed in the Lim estuary, which looks like a fjord. It wasn't, it was The Longships, with Richard Widmark and Sidney Poitier which was probably equally hammy as it was directed by Jack Cardiff, the cinematographer on The Vikings. Pls to include by default
Commando.
Dirty Dozen
Con-Air
The Rock
Cowboys and Aliens
Big trouble in little china is excellent.
Your captcha filter is, err, not. Or shite maybe.
"i capture she up the chuff"
I'd love to but all I'm trying to do is leave a comment.
NOT The Black Hole. Top robots and an unterly metal ending. I guess the Disney execs didn't bother watching the whol efil to spot that. Or the makers glues the last reel on without telling them.
Howard the Duck! That's the only movie on the list that I have seen. I've watched it more than a dozen times. My favorite shit film of all time.
It's very very bad with sprinkles
Have you never seen The Wraith?
Lots of 80s god awfulness with a not too bad soundtrack.
