Commenters also felt Cloverfield was unfairly maligned by RiffTrax smart-alec Kevin Murphy, who described "Clovie" as arguably "the lamest CG monster not to appear on a sci-fi movie."

Cheesy sci-fi films snubbed during the first go-round had no shortage of champions. In this gallery of readers' choices, check out a sampling of commenter-submitted votes for movies about homicidal rabbits, extraterrestrial clowns and aliens who gift earthlings with "glowing walnuts."

Tremors

Tremors!? I remember renting Tremors all the time. It was pretty fun to watch. Plenty of gibs, too. It was like that "don't step on the carpet because it is made of lava" game you used to play with your siblings. —nealtime

Why Tremors? I liked it and it's definitely not a cheesy movie (although all of the sequels were.) As for Cloverfield, while I thought it was really really bad (all the movement of the camera gave me a headache), it definitely wasn't cheesy. If you really want cheese just watch the Syfy channel on Sundays. —HipCat

Take Tremors off yer dang list! Jeesh! It's a camp classic, not a cheesefest. I think you're going to have to turn in your geek card: Fail. —sevenof9fl

What's Tremors doing on the list? Tremors 2, 3, yes but not Tremors 1. —Jakelalens

I agree with those above: Remove Tremors. It's too good to be on this list. From Hell It Came, The Navy vs. the Night Monsters and Mars Needs Women. How did you guys miss those? —LauraAnnScaife

Tremors ... was meant to be a send-up of horror films, and it's hilarious. —crankycodger

Tremors is a classic and should not be on the list. Missing the abysmal Nightflyers. —netPirate

Tremors was slightly cheesy, but mostly just jumping good fun. The hallmark of a movie that belongs on this is where the critters, despite their visible seams and rubber wiggle, show more emotion than the humans. Take Tremors off and replace with something like Attack of the Giant Leeches or The Monolith Monsters. —jenjen

Remove Tremors and Battlefield Earth. Yes I know how much nerds love to rip on how that was a horrible movie (never seen it but people were just saying it was bad not cheesy).... Also, if you are going to make a list of cheesy movies and you don't include any Bruce Campbell flicks then you fail miserably. Yes I love his movies and a lot of people do but only because of how cheesy they are. A few others you seemed to have left out (or maybe never heard of): Bats, Monsturd, Eight Legged Freaks, Dead Alive. —bstud82

You greatly anger me with putting Cloverfield and Tremors on the list. Most of these movies are so bad they are good (Attack of the Killer Shrews, for example). But both of the above-mentioned movies really are nothing compared to what's on this list. Am I in the minority that thinks that Tremors is one of the best movies ever made? —Ratdog
