"can we get you anything?"

"ice cream..."

"okay, what flavor?"

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.

Any movie where the protagonist is offing nazis is a great movie.

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.

Mystery Men is a phenomenal send up of the superhero genre. It's simultaneously extremely 1999 and decades ahead of its time.

Rubber. An anthropomorphic car tire. If that doesn't describe a masterclass in directing I don't know what does.

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

[–] Malgas@beehaw.org 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

TRON Legacy is the best Daft Punk music video.

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.

I unironically enjoy the old 2005 Fantastic 4 movie. It was cheesy as fuck, I don't deny that. But it was fun. And the comics themselves can be as bad or worse sometimes.

Also I like Julian McMahon.

Also also, Chris Evans towel scene.

I unironically love Armageddon and The Core. Yes, they're both stupid and unrealistic movies, but that works in their favor about as often as against. Something about the way they play with the core concepts makes me love them.

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.

If you remember the 80s at all, then "Hot Tub Time Machine" is the greatest comedy ever created.

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.

Contact

I know but that's why I like it

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago (5 children)

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.

Contact is amazing. there's no way it could be considered a "shitty lil movie"

It's science fiction done properly.
