Mine’s gotta be “The Brothers Grimm” starring Matt Damon and Heath Ledger. It’s the same camp vibe as the “Van Helsing” movie starring Hugh Jackman, but there’s no badass super hero to save the day - there’s just a bunch of imperfect people trying their best, and it’s almost entirely by luck or destiny that they snatch victory from the clutches of defeat. It’s also one of the most morbid depictions of childish horror i’ve seen on-screen, where it gives no fucks about being realistic.
That era of movies is what everyone wants their D&D campaigns to be.
Moonfall.
I just watched this for the first time about 3 months ago and it became my spouse’s absolute favourite for those 3 months. It honestly feels like it should have been a videogame. The Musk praise is so fucking funny given the current state of the US, the premise makes less than no sense, but it’s just so freaking good.

If you’ll notice the arterial nature of the blood coming from the hole in my head, you can assume that we’re all having a real lousy day.

You people don’t KNOW delicious camp tripe.

No, I will not elaborate
There’s a movie called Unstoppable (2010) with Denzel Washington, Chris Pine and Rosario Dawson. It’s about a runaway train causing trouble in Pennsylvania.
I’ve watched it no less than 30 times.
It’s not like I’m into trains or anything. I just think it’s a really good movie and every single actor in it is giving 100%.
Das Millionenspiel.
It’s The Running Man except twelve years earlier and a media satire instead of an action movie. It comments on TV phenomena that wouldn’t exist in Germany until two decades later (like scripted “reality” TV). Also, it has early appearances of one of Germany’s most famous TV hosts (as the show’s host, fittingly) and one of Germany’s most famous comedians of the 70s to 90s (in a completely serious role, unfittingly). And unlike the Schwarzenegger movie it doesn’t construct a dystopian future to introduce public bloodsports but merely gives a terse reference to a “law on active recreation” dated three years after the movie first aired.
To make it even more odd, it’s actually a good movie despite being from Germany and made for TV.
That sounds amazing and we can always use more commentary on how media is made and consumed. I particularly enjoyed Network (1976) and Fahrenheit 451 (novel).
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.
I’m going to get impaled for this but The Rise of Skywalker. It’s my guilty pleasure.
lmfao
I’m so sorry for you
hot take, almost all of the star wars movies and shows are objectively pretty damn shitty, RoS is just the newest bad movie in a series with far more misses than hits.
why are you high horsing over someone liking a bad movie, from a series of mostly bad movies, in a thread about liking bad movies?
The 90% of star wars fans who didn’t like it need your sympathy more urgently. Thanks, though?
Star Wars: The Last Jedi for me. I don’t remember details, but I remember liking it and thinking it was nice to bring original things to the saga (especially because episode VII was almost a tribute to episode IV). Then fans complained and they reverted a lot of themes and things 💔.
TLJ is easily the best non-OT Star Wars movie.
Most of the whining about it is either shit people made up (Luke drinking milk directly from the alien’s udder and smiling erotically into the camera*), shit they didn’t take two seconds to even try to understand (like how the “Mary Poppins” effect is actually a realistic portrayal of how things move in zero-G vacuum, or how humans don’t just explode in space like they do in shitty B-movies**), or criticisms that could be equally leveled at basically any Star Wars movie (weird pacing, minor plot holes, inconsistent “rule of cool” logic for tech and magic).
Once the typical reactionary fanboy-didn’t-get-exactly-what-he-expected dies down I think it’ll be recognized as one of the franchise’s higher points. TLJ’s worst sin is being situated between two JJ Abrams hack jobs.
*no I’m not making this up someone unironically described it to me this way with a straight face.
**not making this up either, people i’ve talked to legit seem to think one atmo of negative pressure turns the human body into a meat bomb or something.
My dad pulled me out of school just to wait in line for Phantom Menace tickets. I thought the prequels, while enjoyable, were the last time I would be disappointed by Star Wars.
I was so fucking wrong holy shit.
i don’t bother myself keeping up with what’s “canon” anymore because nearly every screenplay addition to the canon since the OT has been hella stupid, and most of the time retroactively makes the existing story worse. disney’s starting to ramp it up to kingdom hearts levels of convolution and pointless tie-ins that go nowhere but inexplicably contain huge plot points because… money i guess?
the OT is great but star wars as a franchise is generally fucking awful with some good bits here and there.
upvote for actually understanding the prompt and naming a shitty movie.
The Adventures of Baron Munchausen and/or Time Bandits.
I will fistfight anyone who thinks Time Bandits is bad
“THIS IS WHAT I WANT”
Anything Terry Gilliam is great
Gilliam was almost picked to direct the Harry Potter movies.
I can imagine the 2d cutscene of the troll in the bathroom already.
Once Bitten, Joe vs the Volcano, and Mortal Kombat are all way better movies than they should have been.
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.
treasure planet is a criminally underrated masterpiece of a film with a great deal of heart put into it that i would never for an instant consider describing as “shitty”.
“Who Framed Roger Rabbit”.
An absolute masterpiece in terms of blending and transitioning between live action and animation; plus the whole Disney/Warner Bros character crossovers… just 👌🏼
The world’s oldest person with downs syndrome would demand to watch this movie every night. On VHS. …Which became more of a challenge with the years.
But that’s not a shitty movie
This won three Oscars my guy. Far from shitty.
It used to be Bad Santa, then it got rehabilitated somehow.
