Pushing Tin
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.

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.
I’d agree, if the movie were half as long.
Did you mean… twice as long?
Any movie where the protagonist is offing nazis is a great movie.
Contact
I know but that’s why I like it
What heck man that is an awesome movie! Based on a Carl Sagan book (which I own) and got Jodie Foster in it (my first movie star crush) this doesn’t belong here.
For me its Mallrats. and Jersey Girl, don’t care what Kevin Smith says those are both great movies.
The carl sagan : contact
The movie is good but the book is better
Book great.
Srsly. I can’t believe they went with “the alien looks like dad” bs and skipped the math thing
Mall rats is widely beloved, but Jersey girl is hated appropriately
Contact is amazing. there’s no way it could be considered a “shitty lil movie”
It’s science fiction done properly.
The Core. The perfect dumb movie that’s fun to watch.
I thought for sure no one else was gonna say The Core, get out of my head!
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).
Hackers. Till the day I die…
Uhm, but Hackers is not shitty.
Hacker is the best !
mess with the best
die like the rest
i love that shit.
In the same vein:
Johnny Mnemonic is unironically pretty damn good.
The pacing gets clunky in some spots, production quality is a bit off in some sections… honestly not really worse than say Escape from New York… its honestly overall pretty damn good.
This one deserves its own thread fr. Keanu Reeves worked his ass off to try and pull this together and it works in its cheesy way.
I can’t like that movie because it was so insulting for the culture at the time. Tacky and stupid. No self respecting 90s technology person respects that movie.
No self respecting 90s technology person respects that movie.
How dare you?!
Oh…wait. “self respecting”. Okay. Fair enough.
Self-respect is for people with class
hAcK tHe pLaNeT!!1!
They’re trashing our rights! TRASHING them!
I’m going to get impaled for this but The Rise of Skywalker. It’s my guilty pleasure.
upvote for actually understanding the prompt and naming a shitty movie.
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.
lmfao
I’m so sorry for you
The 90% of star wars fans who didn’t like it need your sympathy more urgently. Thanks, though?
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 Adventures of Baron Munchausen and/or Time Bandits.
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.
I will fistfight anyone who thinks Time Bandits is bad
“THIS IS WHAT I WANT”
It used to be Bad Santa, then it got rehabilitated somehow.
Okay, I’ve got one that no one has mentioned.
Without clicking the link, just imagine what it might be.
Got it pictured?
Yes. It is exactly what you imagined.
It’s Star Wars and Space Balls splashed across Trucker stereotypes. It’s affordably made, except when it’s trying to be gross - when no expense is spared.
But somehow it’s also… just all around…good? It’s good. I can’t explain it. But… it’s just… a pretty good movie.
The characters are relatable. The acting is professional and effective. It’s easy to root for the main cast, and against the badguys. All the story beats land where and how they should.
I want to see someone do one of those high minded film making analysis on “Space Truckers”, because I suspect it is better on every level than it has any right to be.
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.
Dredd (2012) is a near perfect 80s/90’s style, over the top action movie made 25 years too late.
Well shot action scenes.
Excellent soundtrack.
Pretty darn well paced.
Good helping of action hero one liners.
Plot is simple enough for idiot, explosion go boom, brain to follow, but also takes itself seriously enough to present the horrors of its world via interactions with minor characters.
Karl Urban manages to do more acting with only his mouth and chin, and line delivery, than many other actors do with their whole face.
Olivia Thrilby is also very, very good, I do not understand why some other director has not cast her in an action oriented role since… now that Nintendo seems to actually allow their IP in films: Make her blonde again and she is Samus Aran.
