Space Mutiny Versus Battlefield Earth

I know this is a very hard question. Both movies have many things in common: They have a bunch of made up crap, Space Mutiny has Valarians, Golf Carts, Enforcers, Random Ressurections, and footage from old Battlestar galactica episodes
Battlefield earth has picto cameras, compo-gradients, ker-bango, button cameras, planetships and oily, greasy aliens with dreadlocks.
So at first glance it may appear that Space Munity is preferable, but what do you all think? Which would you rather watch?

I could watch Space Mutiny over and over and over. Battlefield Earth, not so much.

Space Mutiny!

BFE did not have any "grandma daughters" or dead people working the monitors or mini-golf carts.   All of my SCI-FI films must have at least 2 out of 3 of these or forget you.

I know what you mean, all the sci-fi films I watch must have at least 2 but not more than 3 jedi in the entire film, and must not star Haydn Christensen or Ewan Macgregor in any lead roles.

I gotta say "Space Mutiny" because it has the complete MST3K treatment.  "Battlefield Earth" also had the whole Scientology thing behind it, whereas Space Mutiny had no such philosophical leanings.  Makes it more purely stupid as opposed to "high-mindedly" stupid.

Plus, I suffered greatly trying to get through the damn 1300 page novel, like an idiot.  Space Mutiny had no such baggage attached.

Oh, I'd rather watch Space Mutiny, for certain. Space Mutiny is merely bad. Battlefield Earth, well... you know how people always make the joke about a movie being so bad you want to kill yourself partway through? BE is the first movie to ever actually do that to me. Space Mutiny is funny bad, and does not inflict psychic pain on me.

Then you must not be watching it right. Space Mutiny hurts me in places I didn't even know I had (THERE'S my car keys!).
