Howard the Duck.
It's just a warped movie and I dig that. It's a weird blend of dark and light hearted. I realize it's pretty bad, but there's nothing quite like it.
Lea Thompson was so hot in this movie. Jefferey Jones owning the screen with his hammy villain. The interspecies erotica.
I also love the grit and grime of Cleveland in this movie. Welfare offices, nasty bathhouses, scummy back alleys and dive bars.
It's also the first movie I can recall seeing that made me think of other planets and what they might be like and who or what might inhabit them. It also freaked me the hell out when they opened an interdimensional portal and had some demonic aliens showing up. No better feeling than being traumatized/entranced by a weird movie as a kid.
I also have to mention the awesome Howard the Duck theme song at the end.
Huge guilty pleasure movie.
