I think for me it's alien: covenant. I was really interested in the ideas explored in prometheus and covenant just expanded on them. I don't get much into the details of why it is or isn't a good movie.

Luckily, though, HBO ran raised by wolves which really delved into ideals about AI and planet seeding etc. So that itch got way scratched even if the run was cut short.

Costner’s Robin Hood. Rickman is awesome.

Excalibur. Just an over the top film.

Pretty much all of the shitty ‘80s action films, from Commando to Bloodsport. They’re awful fun.

Dirty Grandpa.

It's much funnier than it has a right to be. Also, Aubrey Plaza really, really wanted to fuck Robert De Niro, and fought to get the role for that reason. Its ending sex scene is one of the most genuine in Hollywood because of that. Of course, Aubrey Plaza makes things better just by showing up.

Critics who hate it need to lighten up.

Rise of Skywalker. I loved it :-)

EDIT - I should say, I didn't properly read the thread title, and I wouldn't put RoS in my "top list". I just gave it as an example of a movie that's generally disliked but that I enjoyed.

Tommy boy got shit on by siskel and ebert, which is why I never trust their reviews. That movie is a 10.

The Green Hornet with Seth Rogan was my favourite film for a long time. I did not understand why people didn’t love it as much as I did.

bright. absolutely garbage movie, super fun silly world building

I have two:

Chalet Girl - Romcom meets 1980s style Aspen Ski Challenge, Felicity Jones, Bill Nighy, Brooke Shields, and Ed Westwick. I personally love it. It's a great movie to throw on for a boring day, it has some feels, it's story is predictable but fun - it's not winning an Oscar but I enjoy it. 5/5 personal scale, 3/5 general rotten tomatoes

21 - Very lame smart guy meets Vegas, not a heist, not the social network - Jim Sturgess, Kate Bosworth, Kevin Spacey. Didn't know this was that high up except for I have multiple plays of it. I watched it after having surgery and remember thinking it was amazing - and then watched it later on less pain killers and thought "Oh, well, it's fine." 3/5 personal scale, 1/5 general rotten tomatoes.

Shoutout to !showsandmovies@lemm.ee if you want more discussion like this!

Although usually spoofs don’t get any good rating I think this one should be an exception:

Scary movie 3

It honestly did it better than the movies it was making fun of. And it was truly about a scary movie (the tape from the ring).

Also, crack high voltage is way more fun than the rating lets on.

Not sure if this is what you are asking for, but:

My favorite movies with absolutely ridiculus plots are:

  1. Olympus Has Fallen

    spoilerThe USA is under attack by a plane that somehow got in the borders without getting shot down, while enemy ground teams posing as tourists attacks the white house, while the plane above provides support. And the country behind it is... NORTH KOREA? 🤣

  2. London Has Fallen

    spoilerSimilar to before but now its some middle eastern "terrorist" that wants to kill all world leaders, with some of the Queen's Guard turning out to be terrorists? 🧐

  3. Moonfall

    spoilerThe moon falls towards earth, because... Aliens... lol 🌚

Robot Jox... We can both live!

Watched it so many times back in the day. My friend had it on laser disc of all things

[–] Onionguy@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago

Has anyone mentioned "the room"? Im gonna reccommend it. It's so bad, it's good.

[–] oo1 6 points 1 month ago

I'd be in the 9% that rated Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus 10 on imdb.

I had to buy the DVD a second time as someone stole my first one it is that good.
