Dr. Alien (1989)

Oh Dr. Alien, you are so horrible...and yet I find you somehow appealing. Uber-nerd Wesley agrees to help new science teacher Ms. Xenobia with an extra credit research project, unaware that Xenobia is an alien and that he will be her subject.

After Xenobia gives Wesley a shot, he turns into super stud, complete with upturned collar. Every time a mini-tentacle like appendage with lips protrudes from the top of his head, women can't resist him. There's never any explanation of why the girls don't see the creepy thing bobbing around atop his head, but it emits something that makes women throw themselves at him.

This is a bad 1980s teen comedy, whose charm is perhaps due to it's ridiculousness. Make no mistake, this is a horrible movie, but for some unknown reason, I enjoyed it.
