I've seen only "Color Of Night", "Showgirls", and "White Chicks". And frankly all three are guilty pleasures for me. None would crack the 100 worst films I've ever seen...
That said, I wouldn't put SHOWGIRLS on my 50 Worst list, not when GIGLI and HEAVEN'S GATE exist.
I'd add:
MANIAC (Joe Mantell) THE SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE (Rita Mae Brown should be ashamed of herself) THE TOOLBOX MURDERS (although I suppose it gets at least one star for Cameron Mitchell singing (sic) "Nobody knows the trouble I've seen") THE DRILLER KILLER LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE
I guess it's clear how I feel about that genre. Don't ask why I watched so many of them, other than to say in the early 1980s I watched pretty much anything.
The Bill Rebane ouevre, especially THE GIANT SPIDER INVASION and THE ALPHA INCIDENT.
Then there are the many, many John Carradine & John Agar (sometimes together!) filmography.
I've watched PLAN 9 several times. I'm easily entertained.
Jeff, you have some pretty bad stuff on your list. Joe Lansdale used to talk about THE TOOLBOX MURDERS. I've never seen it or any of those others, but I've seen way too many John Agar movies, and I agree. Those are really bad.
I go back to the classic book BAD MOVIES WE LOVE (subtitled Big Budget, Big Hair, Big Mistake) which basically says a movie made for a buck-fifty and starring the director's dentist is, by its very nature, going to be a bad movie, but it takes a big, expensive, splashy production starring A-list names to make a truly BAD movie.

I've seen twelve of them and BATMAN and Robin was not among them.

I've seen a few of these, too, including COLOR OF NIGHT and SHOWGIRLS. They aren't really that bad.
I've seen 18. Yes they are bad.

You get the picture.

I have seen just two of them: Plan 9 From Outer Space and Howard the Duck. I thought thy were both so bad they were pretty entertaining.

My mistake. Cameron sang "Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child." He was also sucking on a lollipop at the time.
It was yet another one I missed the chance to ask Aneta Corsaut about.

Yikes. I didn't know she was in that one.

I have that book. Some good stuff in there, including that commentary.
