We've all been there: bored with no plans on the weekend. Plenty of popcorn ready to pop, plenty of caffeine to drink, and and sincere eagerness to laugh at the absurdities that are free for the taking. Cheesy movie nights are a staple of humanity, young and old alike are always down to rip off some pants, put on some cozy socks, and watch a movie so bad that it's good. These days, with over 117 million subscribers, it's no surprise that the easiest way to binge watch some cheese on the TV is with Netflix. There is, essentially, a content overload, though. So we're here to save you some trouble and pinpoint the best way to have a good chuckle with this definitive list of Netflix movies you need to see to believe.

1. Christian Mingle (2014)

This movie has received some harsh criticism for trying to pass itself off as a romantic comedy, which is all the real information you need to decide if it belongs on your cheesy list.

2. Deep Blue Sea

How could a movie that features both the iconic Samuel L. Jackson and L.L. Cool J not be fantastic? Especially at an underwater scientific facility with a skeleton crew and super-genius, super-gigantic sharks? Limbs will be lost. Parrots will get sassy. And sharks will never be the same.

3. The Bad Batch (2016)

If you don't watch any other movie on this list, at least watch The Bad Batch. There's a reason for everyone: maybe it's seeing Jim Carrey as an absolute lunatic (again,) maybe it's seeing Jason Momoa shirtless (again,) or maybe you'll watch it for Keanu Reeve's amazing moustache or even the cannibalism. Either way, this movie never got enough attention or credit for how fantastic and bizarre it is. It will hook you in and leave you wondering, "wtf?"

4. Emo the Musical (2016)

John Noonan sums up Emo the Musical on his Rotten Tomatoes review pretty perfectly:

In terms of hitting that sweet spot between acknowledging the seriousness and ridiculousness of a teenage social circle, Emo: The Musical gets it right.

It's cheesy, it's entertaining, and in the end it's the best good-bad movie you'll probably ever watch on Netflix. You definitely want this at the top of your lazy-weekend list.

5. Yoga Hosers (2016)

Absolutely nothing could sum this movie up better than it's official synopsis:

Two 15-year-old yoga enthusiasts (Lily-Rose Depp, Harley Quinn Smith) join forces with a legendary man-hunter (Johnny Depp) to battle Canadian Nazis who take the form of deadly sausages.

If you're not watching this Kevin Smith movie, you're wrong.

6. Life After Beth (2014)

Any movie featuring Aubrey Plaza has my vote for being worth watching but the fact that it's also about the living dead? Count me in!

7. #REALITYHIGH (2017)

It's certainly not a plot-line you've never heard before: cute nerdy girl gets popular, abandons true friends, is betrayed by mean girls, but still gets the guy in the end. For as many people that will tell you it's an adorable teenage rom-com, so will as many people tell you it's a garbage pile... and that's exactly what this must-watch list is all about!

8. Captain Sabertooth and the Treasure of Lama Rama (2014)

If you want the literal representation of "so bad it's good," Captain Sabertooth and the Treasure of Lama Rama is it. Pirates, slapstick comedy violence, and toilet humor? Win-win-win! You'll be bent over with laughter, tears streaming down your face before the night is done.

9. Makkhi (2012)

If you're looking to really expand your horizons then it doesn't get much better than Makkhi, a Bollywood film about a man who dies... and is reincarnated with a fly. But not just any old housefly, he's a fly with a desire to seek vengeance on the man who murdered him. Like any good Bollywood film, it ends in a musical number. Unlike anything you've ever seen, the musical number is performed by a break-dancing fly. You're welcome.

10. Barely Lethal (2015)

A teenage assassin longs for the life of a normal teenager so she fakes her death and studies "normal teenagers" by watching a bunch of teenage rom-coms. This movie goes out of it's way to pull in all the cliche tropes and we're really not convinced it's a good thing.

11. Carpool (1996)

This 90's Tom Arnold movie is the perfect slapstick comedy addition to this weekend cheese-fest you're planning.

12. So Undercover (2012)

How could a movie starring a young Miley Cyrus not be a train-wreck to a room full of bored adults? Her character is a private detective hired by the FBI (so realistic) to go undercover in a sorority. I'm sure you could make some fun drinking games from this one with minimal effort.

13. Dude (2018)

This basic teenage drama movie is something anyone could relate to: a group of friends going through a lot of real-life mess while smoking copious amounts of marijuana. It's the perfect Saturday morning, still in your pajamas sort of way to kick off a lazy weekend.

14. Teeth (2007)

"When a virtuous high school student is sexually assaulted, she discovers that she has an unexpected line of defense: a toothed vagina."

If this doesn't go straight to the top of your cult-must-watch list then I just don't know what to do with you.

15. Hurricane Bianca (2016)

After moving from New York to teach in Texas, Richard quickly finds himself fired for being gay. Determined to teach the bigoted bumpkins a lesson, he returns disguised as a woman and as drag queen Bianca Del Rio, he teaches everyone harsh lessons in acceptance the only way Bianca Del Rio could... by roasting the crap out of them.

16. House of Deadly Secrets (2018)

It's a terrible horror movie and what cheesy bad-good movie festival at home is complete without one of those?
