Dude, Where’s My Car? is so much better than it had any right to be. And while the main characters are stoners, most of the humor isn’t stoner humor. Not that there’s anything wrong with stoner humor, but movies that consist entirely of stoner humor tend to drag after a while.
I will die on the hill that Kung fury is peak cinema
I’ve literally never heard a bad word uttered about Kung Fury.
Hackerman hacked into my heart.
Any movie where the protagonist is offing nazis is a great movie.
I’d agree, if the movie were half as long.
Did you mean… twice as long?
Lol. Nah, man. I got tired of laughing by about halfway through and by then their schtick was predictable.
Mystery Men is a phenomenal send up of the superhero genre. It’s simultaneously extremely 1999 and decades ahead of its time.
Last Action Hero. I know the editing is pretty bad and the rhythm is a bit messed up in the last part but it’s the most meta movie ever and an homage/parody to classic action movies. Having Arnold play the main part is the cherry on top.
Rubber. An anthropomorphic car tire. If that doesn’t describe a masterclass in directing I don’t know what does.
Chronicles of Riddick. Not sure it’s considered a “bad” movie, but I definitely like it more than most. Just a crazy entertaining world and system they build in a short 2 hour long movie.
One I love and haven’t seen mentioned is Equalibrium, I’ve probably seen it 5 times, which is a lot of times for me. I see its ham fisted metaphors and raise you gun karate.
The cable guy. Scary Jim Carey is scary. And the ending was visionary.
I feel this way about 23 as well. Jim Carey as a normal guy who’s absolutely losing it just hits different.
I blame the marketing for that movie not doing well. People went expecting a “wacky Jim Carrey flick” and what they got was a surreal and frightening thriller.
Eddie Murphy’s “Holy Man” suffers that bad marketing issue as well. They plastered so many ads making it out to be a loony Eddie Murphy film and the movie itself is more of an uplifting drama about believing in one’s self and not seeking external validation, with a few gags in it making fun of television shopping networks and the stupid shit people buy from them cause yeah, it’s Eddie Murphy of course they’re gonna have fun with it. But that’s only like 1/3rd of the film.
Tremors 2 is peak cinema IMHO. I only wish they had spent a little more on the CGI, or replaced it all with practical effects.
Sucker Punch and D.E.B.S.
no, it’s not cuz I’m a lesbian!
…ok maybe it’s cuz I’m a lesbian
oh also TRON Legacy. “tHe PlOt iS sTuPiD” yeah no shit it’s TRON, the original was a glorified feature length CG animation test reel. I came here for pretty lights, cool motorcycles, Daft Punk, Jeff Bridges, and Olivia Wilde being hot, not for prestige cinema lmao
Office Space.
Kung pow enter the fist. Screw what the critics and rotten tomatoes score says. The movie is goated!
Big Trouble in Little China
Killer Klowns From Outer Space needs no defending. It’s just a terrible great time.
It’s worth it for the theme alone!
What are you gonna do, knock my block off?
Absolutely masterful movie! Soundtrack is (big)tops too!!!
Treasure Planet. There’s weird plot choices, but I loved the mixed animation, the music, the characters.
An actually bad but amazing movie would be Miami Connection. Karate rock band sings about friendship fights motorcycle drug ninjas. Fuck yeah bro.
