“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds."

Pamela's Prayer (1998)
I'm no fan of fundamentalist Christian films, but I'm also not someone who thinks they're automatically hilarious. This one is bizarre enough to be slightly entertaining. A single father raises his daughter to remain "pure" by never kissing a man before marriage, never dating, never actually interacting with anyone... and substituting prayer with him for those things. Then she turns 18 and has a date which leads to marriage - how this is possible in the world of the film is inexplicable. The film is creepy and very poorly acted, but it's technically good and mostly hangs together.
