Not just one, and DONT GO CALLING The Long Kiss Goodnight SHITTY YOU .. YOU .. MEAN PERSON!

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen and/or Time Bandits.

If you'll notice the arterial nature of the blood coming from the hole in my head, you can assume that we're all having a real lousy day.

BIODOME

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.

RV with Robin Williams came out at a good age for me, I was like 12 so poop jokes and mean spirited jokes that the movie is full of clicked with me.

PCU

No war but class war.

Loads of classics in this thread, worth bookmarking to revisit later. Let me add one of my own that I haven't seen mentioned:

Babe: Pig in the City (1998) - The first movie I saw in the theater by myself, because nobody could be arsed to come along. In the end I was glad, because I cried so much.

Titan A.E. Is a masterpiece.

I’m just going to drop selections from the Troma catalog in here:

• The Toxic Avenger
• Surf Nazis Must Die
• Class of Nuke ‘em High
• Sgt. Kabukiman NYPD
• Tromeo and Juliet

These are objectively shitty movies. Most of these movies are irredeemable; hell, some of them are down right an exercise in poor taste. A lot of it hasn’t aged well, and I’m not talking about the cinematography. I haven’t kept up with Troma in the 21st century, though, so maybe Troma has gotten worse-better or better-worse?

However, I find joy in these movies because they are like a time warp back to New Jersey and New York in the 80s and 90s. They were so low budget and always filmed around New York (except for Toxic Avenger II which somehow was filmed in Japan), that they used a lot of family members of the cast and crew or random locals as extras. It is obvious that a lot of people on screen probably didn’t know they were being filmed (or if they did, didn’t realize what type of movie they were in). There’s bad hair and makeup (but not from the effects department), and thick accents and regionalisms that have faded. There are mainstreets and skylines that don’t exist anymore, or if they do, are wildly different. It is amazing to catch a glimpse of an era that doesn’t exist anymore. This exists in all old movies, but the low-budget realness hits differently.

Most of these movies are trash, but they’re my trash. Apologies to Mr. Kaufman.

Monty Python and the holy grail

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.

Reign of Fire.

Empire Records.

I make references from that movie all the time and nobody ever gets it. Doesn't stop me.

Aeonflux, except I don't actually bother trying to defend it.

Hot Rod! I can quote pretty much the whole movie. It’s such a fun ride.

Ice Pirates (1984): A bunch of A-Listers before they were big. Great practical effects. Spaceships, Pirates, Time Travel, 'robots' It was magnificent.

Close second: The Cat from Outer Space (1978). It was a Disney flick, but really great for the time.

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.

Death to Smoochy

Did you know Angels in the Outfield has a 31% on rottentomatoes? I'm scared to watch it again because I remember it as a perfect movie.

• Big Trouble in Little China
• Escape From New York
• Iron Sky
• Sucker Punch
• Punisher (Dolph Lundgren)
• Red State
• Kung Fury

The Golden Child.

I I I I I want the knife...

Please...

Crank."5mls? no 0.5mls! Elevator explodes"

Peak ADHD movie

Once Bitten, Joe vs the Volcano, and Mortal Kombat are all way better movies than they should have been.
