Camp movies aren’t necessarily bad. I’ve included several films below that are critically acclaimed, but are still camp in my opinion. Although often, the negatively received films by wider audiences can sometimes. Find a niche and be dubbed camp and/or guilty pleasures.

- Showgirls. Nobody who endured Showgirls could ever watch Saved by the Bell the same way again. For that matter, anyone who watched Showgirls could never look at Las Vegas the same way again!
