The 1984, Dino De Laurentiis version of DUNE. It almost put me off of Frank Herbert's work! To paraphrase Frank Zappa, Cheepnis, in terms of a movie, has nothing to do with its budget.

Cocaine Fiends (1935 - also known as The Pace That Kills).  Same genre as Reefer Madness.  My first time in college the campus film series ran them together, along the Betty Boop Minnie the Moocher cartoon (1932) & the wonderful Douglas Fairbanks, Sr. silent short The Mystery of the Leaping Fish (1916), with Fairbanks as  detective Coke Ennyday.  A memorable night in spite of our best efforts, if you get my drift.  And, of course, just about anything with Vincent Price - The Pit and the Pendelum, The Conqueror Worm, and on and on.

'The Master Gunfighter'
 

 
This film is set in southern California in the period shortly after California became part of the US. American settlers and the US government discriminated against the Mexican landowners and frequently took their land by force or legal skullduggery. This film focuses on wealthy Latino ranchers whose land and wealth are at risk. They decide to misdirect a US government ship carrying gold so that it will be wrecked and they can take the gold. To prevent themselves from being caught, they plan to massacre the local Chumash Indians. The hero is the now estranged adoptive son, a master swordsman (trained in Japan!) and gunfighter, who tries to prevent this while still saving his family. The plot reflects the sad history of double colonialism in California, the scenery is gorgeous (as is love-interest Barbara Carrera), and the action exciting.

WOW - a non-Billy Jack Tom Laughlin flick!!!!  I have GOT to see that one!  And if you haven't seen Billy's debut, Born Losers, check it out - a classic example of the killer-bikers-from-hell genre.

Most would probably find The Loved One (1965) to be pretty horrible - at least from a good taste point of view. But a movie in which Jonathan Winters plays multiple roles is worth checking out. Also in the cast: Milton Berle, John Gielgud, Liberace, Rod Steiger, among many others. From IMDb: If you are disturbed or offended by the funeral business, death in general, dead pets, or slightly veiled hints at necrophilia then you might want to give this one a miss. If you're brave and open-minded, however, I highly recommend this truly strange and wonderful film.
 
A classic bad movie. ;-)

At the end of Dune, as the credits roll, is a beautiful piece of music played, and I believe written, by Toto.

Bill,
 
I know it's a short , but it just popped into my head after seeing those titles, and it was just too good to pass up.  
 
And yeah, I thought it was pretty funny too.

PLAN NINE from OUTER SPACE.
 
But I can't remember the title of this B+W 50's scifi flick that had brains walking around on chicken legs (!) . . . . if I could, 'Plan Nine' would be a close second.

Any one of the numerous giant snake movies like King Cobra, Python or Anaconda make me laugh. As a snakekeeper, I find the misinformation stunning.
