ink. looks cheap and weird but has a huge heart and vision.

Sucker punch.

Looks like a mindless action with titties, but it's actually a good movie. Give it a try if you haven't.

Black Bullet?

Army of thieves.

Prequel to army of the dead, actually an amazingly enjoyable film superior in every way to its stupid predecessor

Con Air

It is absolutely not well written but I just love how the film and all the actors are completely aware of how dumb the entire thing is.

Oh, and casting Chief Engineer Miles O'Brien as the jerk that everyone hates is the icing on this guilty-pleasure cake.

[–] yyyesss@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

I loved this movie when I was younger but it's been a while... I'm sorry, WHAT?! O'Brien?! oh I need to see this one again

Disney's "The Black Hole". It came from a time just after Walt Disney had died and they were still figuring out their shit.

So they made an extremely dark SciFi flick with a cute robot that appeals to children which is such a weird combination, but I liked it a lot. I can't even say why.

The U.S.S. Cygnus looks fucking badass, too. One of the best ship designs in a SciFi movie, change my mind.

They were trying for their Star Wars.

A space-ship that’s 60% glass, 20% stiffener bars and 20% normal space-ship stuff,

Then throw an air traffic control tower on top.

[–] kalpol@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 hours ago

Yeah I can only imagine the number of untraceable air leaks in that thing, especially as it ages and the DAP around the glass starts to crack

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 4 points 12 hours ago

Oh yeah that thing is a classic.

Bunraku is one of those movies that has a stellar cast, but no one's ever heard of it. It's a revenge movie but it's over-the-top cheesy and edgy, but in all the good ways. Seriously give it a chance. It's not a good movie, but it is a fun one.

Ghosts of Mars by John Carpenter

Set on a colonized Mars in the 22nd century, the film follows a squad of police officers and a convicted criminal who fight against the residents of a mining colony who have been possessed by the ghosts of the planet's original inhabitants.

Ghosts of Mars received mostly negative reviews and was a box office bomb, earning $14 million against a $28 million production budget.

Ghosts of Mars has received a cult following since its release, with critics praising the action sequences, soundtrack and blending of genres.

[–] Stamau123@lemmy.world 1 points 12 minutes ago

I dunno, I think that movie is as bad as it looks

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago

Everything by Carpenter, really.

Free Guy

Generic video game movie stuffed with trendy references and fanservice is actually a really good singularity story

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 9 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Pandorum. At a glance it like like just another bad sci-fi, but it's really good horror sci-fi mind fuckery with a fantastic twist. Dennis Quaid is great in it.

[–] exocortex@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 8 hours ago

Yes! Unexpectedly good movie!

Event Horizon... terror in space? Worse the Alien? can't be.

but it is haunting and PTSD inducing, very well made

[–] Dearth@lemmy.world 8 points 13 hours ago

Hamlet 2

A delightful comedy about a bumbling highschool drama teacher writing and directing his magnum opus. It's hilarious, heartfelt, and subversive. The cast is excellent.

[–] myrrh@ttrpg.network 6 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 children)

...hot tub time machine; absurdly better film than its pitch had any right to be...

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago

I figured out why that movie is so good because it bothered me for a while.

The casting is absolutely perfect. Its not terribly special in any other way, but they nailed the cast. Even dumb lines like "cox n dix" work.

[–] Skanky@lemmy.world 50 points 19 hours ago (5 children)

Tucker and Dave vs. Evil. Looks like another dumb Netflix original, but it was one of the best horror/comedies I've seen.

Speaking of the genre, big nods to another one - Little Evil.

It Follows - just read the premise of the film and tell me it doesn't sound dumb... Then go watch it

Oh and Colossal!!! Ann Hathaway stars in this bizarre and very deep movie about a giant monster that can be controlled from a playground. Amazing movie. Trust me

Uwe Boll's Rampage. He gets slated but that movie is great.

[–] kokesh@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

Kripendorf's Tribe. That thing is pure gold.

[–] morphballganon@mtgzone.com 88 points 1 day ago (9 children)

Clue

Movie based on a board game? Blegh

But it's awesome. Tim Curry, Madeline Kahn, Christopher Lloyd, Lesley Ann Warren

Conan the Barbarian (1982) has no right to be as good as it is. On paper, it's a dumb sword and sorcery flick with a body builder who could barely speak English in the lead. But everyone involved does an incredible job, from the acting to the directing, to the score. It's a crime that Destroyer trashed up the formula, and we never got Conan the King.

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

Conan is a movie that teaches you what is truly best in life.

Somebody must do a Trakt or (Mdblsit) of the titles mentioned here, I am honestly interested in catching up with this backlog lol.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 12 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Cop Land.

I didn't have Sly Stallone outacting Robert Deniro as a possibility, but then that movie happened.

Velocipastor! It looks and seems like it'll be a parody but it was super engaging and fun. Went into it thinking it would be watched between gaming rounds and eventually turned off, but I ended up quitting the game to full-screen that shit!
