Demolition Man
I’ve loved this movie since I first saw it in the 90s. Thinking back on it, this movie really laid the blue print for Joss Whedon and James Gunn type MCU and DCU movies. Great action sequences, a good dose of humor, and decent story that doesn’t pretend to be anything more than a fun movie.
Godzilla vs Megalon
It’s been years since I saw it, but it was my jam as a kid. Some sea people are mad and send their giant beetle thing, Megalon, to attack the surface, the sea people (Seatopians) also get help from aliens that send their kaiju, Gigan, to assist. A size changing robot, Jet Jaguar, gets his ass beat but Godzilla comes to the rescue in the nick of time. The end battle is a straight up WWE tag team matchup with kaijus!
Plus the movie ends with Jet Jaguar’s bad ass theme song and a freeze frame!
I hate to break it to you, but those are just actors in suits. That isn’t even the real Godzilla!
Nooooooo! This is fake news. FAKE NEWS!
Super Troopers. It is such a ‘I dont know how we got the money for this script but here we fucking go’ movie. Good fun, good laughs.
The first few minutes of that movie are comedic gold.
All of the Sharknado movies
Robot jox is hilariously irredeemable. I watched it again recently and it was horrible. I’m going to watch it again later in life when I forget that because I’ve convinced myself it is not.
I once made a list of 7 movies that fit this criteria.
The Room, because duh. This movie is great because it is so terrible and sincerely thinks it is great. The story behind the movie is just as fantastic. If you must, get a hold of The Disaster Artist as an audio book. It is fantastic. Ignore and forget that piss tier James Franco movie that the book was based on. The book is so much better and it is hysterical to listen to in Greg’s own voice + his Tommy impressions are perfect.
Winter’s Tale - a supposed Adaptation of a Shakespeare play or something. In reality it is the most chaotic and hilariously terrible movie I can think of, complete with terrible Colin Firth haircut and Will Smith as an edge lord Devil. And so many more great things. I had a blast watching this one.
Jupiter Ascending. If I remember correctly, it was made by the siblings who made the Matrix and it is the most nonsensical sci-fi turd ever, but man is it funny. Unintentionally, might I add. I don’t remember much from this film other than laughing so hard I was crying.
The Wicker Man woth Nick Cage. I love the original. That one is genuinely great and terrifying. The Nick Cage one is a clown show and no one can tell me that it isn’t funny to see Nick Cage in a bear suit, punching women.
Show Girls. For obvious reasons. A total and utter mishandling of a very serious and at times horrific subject matter, but mishandled so poorly it surpasses being offensive and falls straight into hilarity.
Breaking Dawn Part 2. Martin Sheens laugh. Renesmee doll that was replaced with CGI horror. Grown man imprinting on a baby. Martin Sheen’s laugh. Fakeout fight scene that made all the dead serious fangirls scream and cry in the cinema on release. “You nicknamed my daughter after the loc nest monster??” Also, Martin Sheen’s laugh.
The Death Note Netflix Adaptation. I invited my anime friends to a watch along when this movie came out initially, because I knew what would happen when I did. The anger and outrage was interspersed with bewildered and hysterical laughter and replays of scenes that were so bad, nobody could believe their eyes. I was just there to sow the chaos at the time and harvest the reactions. It was wonderful.
Bonus movie: Velvet Buzzsaw, but it doesn’t count because I genuinely think this one is a great satire and I genuinely enjoy the movie. It’s just that almost everybody else who’s seen it, seem to loathe it with a passion. So it’s a reverse Killers of the Flower Moon for me, where everybody seem to love it, while I think it is total and utter ass. In both cases, I am left confused at the public opinion and I will stick with mine.
I think Jupiter ascending is a beautiful film, visually. Reincarnated princess falls in love with a space furry and Newt has mommy issues. Just mute it and play some music instead. There isn’t really a plot to miss.
I feel like Jupiter Ascending would have been such a good book
What do your friends think of Netflix’s One Piece? I liked the Avatar show, too, but One Piece I thought was excellent.
I think they liked that one. Only one of them was a one piece fan and she mentioned the Netflix one was decent. I haven’t seen it myself, so I trust her judgment.
Tetsuo: The Iron Man.
Pure. Fucking.
MagicInsanity.At first glance I thought this said “The Iron Giant” and I was about to throw hands
How is Tetsuo ‘objectively terrible’?
Personally, I think it’s a masterpiece. No notes. The people I’ve shown it to, on the other hand, have expressed different opinions.

The Core
It’s so fucking stupid that it is like a Trainwreck you can’t look away from.
I wouldn’t describe The Core as a trainwreck. The premise is the dumbest shit imaginable but somehow they managed to make an enjoyable film. The cast is great. It makes for a solid background movie to help you get though house chores or other menial work.
And I love it. Its the core or the martian if you don’t know what to watch.
Street Fighter
It’s terrible. Almost nobody can act. I suspect none of the writers had even looked at the game beyond a few screenshots. The script and plot are laughable.
But then Raul Julia shows up. He knows this is crap. But his kids love the games. He’s literally dying of stomach cancer in every scene. He knows this is his last movie. He’s going to fucking enjoy it, and so are you.
For you it’s a guilty pleasure, for others it’s just Tuesday.
“Quick, change the channel!”
That was beautiful *cries*
Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance - one of the worst Marvel adaptations, but also one of the most unintentionally funny movies of all time.
Nic Cage trying to stop an old man from getting inside a little boy?
Establishing that any vehicle Ghost Rider drives gets a hellish makeover so they can have a flaming Bagger 288 for an action set piece?
Pure cinema.
Monsters vs Aliens. One of the most fun and referenceable movies of all time.
thank you so much!! just had a blast rewatching it after not having seen it for a long time. i guess the “code brown” joke (the president shitting his pants) is more current than ever.
Battlefield Earth.
Travolta prancing around a B movie set high AF on scientology will never not be peak.
Hackers, Waterworld, The Postman
Them: “Waterworld is crap, it’s just Mad Max on water”
Me: “that sounds awesome”
I honestly have no idea how WaterWorld was not a huge hit, I loved that movie … I’m also very afraid to re-watch it since I haven’t seen it in quite a while.
It was a pretty big hit at the time but the production costs got so out of control I don’t think it made it’s money back. I’m sure in the long run it’s done ok.
Eh…it may have made money, but even back then it was panned as a huge misfire, and probably hurt Costner’s career for a while. There’s a reason it’s Sam’s favorite movie in Generation V. The kid who’s been held in psychiatric prisons his whole life.
They had to build the main set twice because of a hurricane.
They also had a chunk of the budget set aside to digitally un-recede Costner’s receding hairline.
It is very entertaining. And universal created a live action show at their theme park in Hollywood based on it, that’s still running.
Waterworld
Dennis Hopper was just crushing it back in the day.
Hack the planet! God that movie is such an amazing time capsule.
“Twelve megabytes of RAM, 500 megabyte hard drive. Built-in spreadsheet capabilities and a modem that transmits at over 28,000 BPS.”
I just watched Blade for the first time. The computer model of the ascension chamber felt a lot like the visualization of the Gibson mainframe operated by that magician/skateboarder duo
I have it on Blu-ray and I love it.
The postman was good. Sure it’s a generic post-apocalyptic romp with a positive message. But I liked it.
It’s so corny that it wraps around to feeling sincere.
More boobies would have made me love waterworld
Great concept though
There is that rape scene…
I apologise for my previous comments I actually haven’t watched waterworld all the way through
I think I’m confusing two scenes. One where the women and girl are effectively at Kostner’s mercy and she offers herself to him so they don’t get thrown over board. I -think- he turns her down and then there is a consensual act later.
Probably I was getting confused with blade runner.
All the movies by Bud Spencer and Terrence Hill.
It doesn’t matter which one, because the plot is always the same.
Spiderman 3
I feel like people got the wrong idea based on their criticism of Peter during his descent into evil.
How’s the pie?
