I suppose I agree. Intentional cheese is much more acceptable than genuine (accidental) cheese. A good example would be comparing Evil Dead 2 (or even Army of Darkness) to the first Evil Dead. The first one seemed genuinely bad, while the other two made fun of themselves and were, therefore, more enjoyable.

But, I think it has a large part to do with the viewer's mindset when watching the film. That is, if someone where to watch Evil Dead after hearing about every cheesy part of the film, thinking that the cheese was 100% intentional, I'm sure they'd fall in love with it.

Evil Dead is cool, as a horror film and a comedy... but it's one of those movies I'd much rather call a comedy, whether that was its intent or not.

If not for the internet hype, I would've called Snakes a terrible thriller akin to Anaconda. Instead, I viewed its cheese as tongue-in-cheek and enjoyed it.
