very true..now Porn is a whole new area. I still enjoy " Flesh Gordon" ...Flesh ohhhhh
Hmmmm....
Where to begin....? Anything with a giant monster; especially "X the Unknown" or "War of the Garagntuans." Other faves include "The Tingler," "Invasion of the Saucer Men," "Night of the Comet," "Killer Klowns from Outer Space," both versions of "Invaders from Mars."

I love anything with giant insect/spiders in it...and there have been some bad ones. Also although I love "It Came from outer space" the creature is pretty awful. Dr Who is littered with crap monsters (ambitious but cheap) like Zarbi, Myrka, Slyther etc, but it never stops me watching it.

Zontar The thing from Venus
OMG! No joke, I just watched that this weekend. It was Bad/good enough but I thought The Eye Creatures on the flip side was even worse/better!

Night of the Lepus. Cute little bunnies with strawberry jam on their faces terrorize model sets that look they came from a toy train set.

In that vein I'd also add Food Of The Gods with rats on miniature sets. Only, I'm sort of soured on that movie because looking at it now, it looks as they might've killed rats for thier effects.
While the scenes where rats get shot look like they are actually spraying red ink on the rats (which stuns them) I think they ended up really drowning rats at the climax.
Not sure, but it looks that way.
But, other than that it's great shlock with a comical giant Chicken head, giant rubber worms and in some shots, a guy in a giant rat suit. And most of all... It was Marjoe Gortner, the weird guy, with the weird name from Earthquake!.
Food Of The Gods has a Star Wars connection. Rick Baker made up the rat suits for FOTG. He, of course, worked on Star Wars. And (I'm sure this is how it must've gone down) when they did the Star Wars Holiday special, I'm sure Rick was asked to get whatever he could to put even more Cantina creatures into the scene with Bea Arthur's wonderful musical number. So, the FOTG's rat suit ends up in the Cantina scene in the Holiday Special. I'm still waiting for the Hasbro figure.

Another one of my favourites is "Fiend Without a Face"...The brain/spine creatures were so ludicrous but oh so well done...I love watching it but my Missus just laughs when I say lets watch this....maybe i'll trade her in for a new model....

"Fiend Without a Face"... For some reason, I can't think of this movie's title without singing it like a Billy Idol song.

Virutally any kaiju film from the 1960's is likely to make this list for me, but I'll go with "Invasion of the Saucer Men" as a personal favorite. I've always loved those cheesy aliens. If someone would make action figures of them, I'd make them rich beyond their wildest dreams ;)

I'm not sure if it fits in this thread because it was so wonderfully done, but I saw Dainipponjin (http://www.blogto.com/toronto_film_festival_2007/2007/09/the_giant_japanese_midnight_madness_meets_dainippo njin/) at Midnight Madness during the Toronto Film Festival this year and thought it was brilliant.

It is essentially a sendup of every Japanese Giant Monster Kaiju movie ever. Taking the form of a fake documentary about a guy who's job it is to fight these monsters that always attack Tokyo.
Brillaint.

How about Salems Lot, From Hell It came, or It-The Terror From Beyond Space? Even though I like all 3!
