What's your favorite trash movie series to watch? My fiancee and I just watched Twilight and it was a hilarious romp. End of the fourth movie was GROSS though.
I have a deep and abiding love for the Roger Moore Bond films. And I can make arguments for why Live and Let Die and For Your Eyes Only are underrated gems, but the rest are definitely trash. I love them anyway. Something about Moore's interpetation of Bond as more of a genteel lounge singer than a spy just puts me in my happy place.
I watched Moonraker for the first time a few years ago and, as someone who only watched the Brosnan & most of the Craig Bond films (along with Dr. No and Goldfinger), I was pleasantly surprised by just how camp it was. That they actually devoted time and effort a sappy romance montage of the primary henchman with metal teeth having a meet cute with some girl and falling in love with her, and then actually had that pay off, IIRC, by the henchman turning good thanks to the power of love at the climax, was pretty fantastic.
Some girl with BRACES! No I’m not crazy! They were there all along, I can see them... burned into my memory... that’s the joke! That was the joke, they both have metal teeth! They edited it out, they scrubbed the tape, they don’t want you to see it I don’t know why—get away from me with that syringe! I will not take the psychiatric meds! I hate the Antichrist! I HATE THE ANTICHRIST!
I heard that Nelson Mandela originally made the girl have braces, but after he died in prison in the 80s, the Berenstein Bears conspired to destroy all copies of the original cut and replace it with one where the woman doesn't have braces.

Only Moore's Bond would send a man to his gruesome death, drop a witty bon mot to his mangled corpse, and stroll off. His Bond is the most blood-chilling of them all, in a good way.
No one does "ice cold" like your nice, goofy grandpa who you forget spent his early adulthood killing men in a jungle.
Right? I have military family - mostly not on in frontline combat roles I think, but they were deployed to hot zones in Afghanisation - and they're so soft and cuddly it's hard to remember that they're trained to kill. I would never be so impolite as to ask if they have.
