.."They Live"...crappy movie but I loved the alley fight between Roddy Piper and Keith David.

...Add to the list of bad horror movies

Killer Klowns from Outer Space. This movie was really bad!

Not sure quite how to categorize it, perhaps both bad and cheesy, but "I Spit on Your Grave"

Best:

Shining, Exorcist, Night of the Living Dead (Original), Hellraiser, the Omen (original)

Would add if I could: Halloween (original) Creepshow, Gremlins

Worst:

Troll 2, Orgy of the Dead, Killer Klowns (Jesus that was bad all around), Pupper Master vs Demonic Toys (I dare you to watch that with a straight face after Corey Feldman is on screen for more than 45 seconds) Ghoulies III: Ghoulies Go To College---I think the title alone puts it on this list.

Special mentions: Halloween 3, Exorcist 2, Gingerdead Man, Leprechaun in the Hood

It's hard for me to say because I've seen so many of them.

I will say this though, as time has gone on, this genre has gotten worse/cheesier.

Probably any original of a series can be said to be one of the best.
Scream for example-kind of revolutionized the slasher movie in the mid 90s.
Halloween
Paranormal Activity-part 2 was terrible, but thinking that part 1 was real definitely added to its appeal; same thing with the Blair Witch Project.

My favorite is Texas chainsaw massacre pt 2 that came out in 1985. This movie was hilarious, but was supposed to be a horror movie.

Watched the Human Centipede last night (or should I say this morning since it was like 4:00AM EST). That was seriously one of the scariest movies I have ever seen just because it was so messed up.

This was on my Netflix instant queue, so I checked it out. Flat out turrible, but some good boob scenes.

The best part of that pic is how Robert Englund's expression just seems to say, "I...I was Freddy Fucking Krueger...and now I have to do this for money??? What happened to my life..."

That would definitely fit in the "best cheesiest" class. Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight and the first From Dusk Till Dawn also worked for me.
