Superman 3 beats almost ANY action movie out there. It literally has everything you could want in a movie… it doesn’t take itself too seriously so it’s funny as hell, has actual character development unlike anything we’ve seen before or since in an superhero movie, cool but believable fight scenes, morally grey characters, and RICHARD PRYOR.
Do I though?
Rubber. An anthropomorphic car tire. If that doesn’t describe a masterclass in directing I don’t know what does.
I will die on the hill that Kung fury is peak cinema
Any movie where the protagonist is offing nazis is a great movie.
Hackerman hacked into my heart.
I’ve literally never heard a bad word uttered about Kung Fury.
I’d agree, if the movie were half as long.
Did you mean… twice as long?
Contact
I know but that’s why I like it
Contact is amazing. there’s no way it could be considered a “shitty lil movie”
It’s science fiction done properly.
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.
Mall rats is widely beloved, but Jersey girl is hated appropriately
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
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!
Big Trouble in Little China
People don’t like this? Come on, a classic
Not shitty. An absolute classic. One of Carpenter’s finest.
it’s so much fun watching Kurt Russell clueless-white-guy-ing his way through the plot thinking he’s the hero when he’s the sidekick.
Kung Pow
George and the Christmas Star
What do you get when you cross an owl and a bungee cord?
Myy asss!
Kung Pow is one of the funniest movies ever made.
But is picking a movie that is trying to be shitty actually fair?
Kung Pow is one of the rare few movies to do the whole “we’re intentionally making a campy, so-bad-it’s-good movie” and actually succeed in emulating that aesthetic and also making something enjoyable to watch.
Kung Pow is the world’s best example of a transformative work. It took some obscure kung fu film, and fucked it up in all the right ways.
Kung Pow
I, I, I, I, weweeuuuwuuu wuuuuu wuwuwowu hehehewuwuwuwoooo
The whole movie is masterfully stupid, and I would argue ahead of its time. If it came out in the late 2010s/2020s would have been a ton more popular with the GenZs “lol so random” humor
If you remember the 80s at all, then “Hot Tub Time Machine” is the greatest comedy ever created.
If you don’t remember the 80’s, then " Hot Tub Time Machine" is the greatest comedy ever created.
Suburban commando starring early 90s Hulk Hogan, best enjoyed on the original VHS .
Bonus Points for the Undertaker’s (uncredited?) cameo appearance: you’re a dead man, Ramsey!
…oh, and extra credit for birthing the “I wAs FrOzEn ToDaY!!” meme too!
Pushing Tin
Violent Night, for 90’s kids who thought Home Alone went harder and want the same high from back in the day
Wing Commander
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.
Apparently mine is The Long Kiss Goodnight.
I love it. My family hates it.
