I'm ill and I'm in the mood for a bad but enjoyable film. I'd appreciate any suggestions. TIA

If you type in ‘funny bad acting’ into YouTube lots of these come up, The Room and Samurai Cop in particular. Also ‘funny bad cgj’ is always good for a laugh on there

A lot of these are more guilty pleasures than being truly awful, also many repeats but:

Troll 2 (this is dire and amazing)
Mary Kate and Ashley films
Chalet Girl
Not Another Teen Movie (and She's All That, which it was partly spoofing)
Rocky Horror Picture Show (I personally think it's brilliant, but everyone I've shown it to recently said it's dire, so...)
Ella Enchanted
Scooby Doo: The Movie
Deuce Bigalo Male Gigalo
The Island
The Proposal
How to lose a guy in 10 days
Spice World
The Birdcage
Bugsy Malone

I also love most teen/school/coming of age, cheesy films, new and old. Proper guilty pleasure of mine! I love it when the DH is out and I can watch them without shame.

The greasy strangler
The break up
Con air
Zoolander

Ah I had the book of Ella enchanted when I was about 9, I must have read it over a hundred times.

Oh and hope you feel better soon Flowers

Another vote for Under Siege.
"HE'S GOT SPOONS!"
Enter The Dragon - especially the fight on the golf course Grin
The Song Of Nellie Kelly, if only for the fact that Judy Garland plays her own daughter and people spend the whole film saying "sure and she's the living spit of her mother..."
