What's YOUR favorite Troma movie?

Now, when I'm talking about a Troma movie, I personally don't count their movies that they just distribute (Rabid Grannies, Redneck Zombies, Combat Shock, Surf Nazis, ect.) I'm talking about their in-house productions, the ones directed by Lloyd Kaufman and/or Michael Herz. Just a quick rundown of those:

Toxic Avenger 1-4
Class of Nukem High
Sgt. Kabukiman
Troma's War
Terror Firmer
Tromeo & Juliet
(and eventually, Poultreygeist)

Now, that's just my viewpoint. Whichever you consider to be a Troma movie, feel free to post it.

I doubt a poll would be neccessary, its not really a topic that is likely to reach a concencus... but if you must here's the list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Troma_films

Hands down my favorite Troma movie is Cannibal! The Musical.
... Blood Hook is probably my 2nd favorite if for no other reason than it scared the crap out of me as a kid long before I ever knew what mst3k was (fish hooks hurt like hell, something a Minnesota kid can relate too)... of the other Troma movies that ran on Cinemax when I was a kid I always liked the Class of Nuke 'Em High movies... (wow can't believe Troll 2 wasn't Troma ;) )

Cannibal wasn't put together by them.  Trey and Co. took them the finished movie and they were the company that officially released it.

Toxic Avenger 1 is my favorite Kaufman flick.  Poultrygiest played here last September it was fun.




Elske McCain lives here so we got the premiere here.

I'm gonna go with Toxic Avenger, but I expect Tromeo and Juliet to surpass it when I finish watching it.  Kaufman's book is a fun read, by the way.

Yeah, the book is kind of like a rags-to-riches story (Troma started out with Lloyd and cohorts literally working out of a gardener's shack, and now they get retrospectives from AFI), but liberally seasoned with complete nonsense, like Lloyd's onetime affair with Mariah Carey :D Just like most Troma movies, a lot of campy shock-value antics almost completely covering a tiny nugget of sincerity

Wow, that's all they actually produced???

Sgt. Kabukiman was family friendly...until the boobies out of nowhere.

Citizen Toxie was pretty cool (the naked deaf translator who just started eating pizza was hot).

But gotta go with Toxic Avenger 1 like I'm sure everyone else.

I dunno, I love the "Toxie" flicks and some of the other stuff they just released ("Cannibal" being the primary thing") but I'm going with "Blades", the "Jaws" ripoff with the three golfers instead of the three guys on the boat and the power mower in place of the shark.  That's just some crazy brainstorming.  Sounds like an aquateens episode.
