My wife and I are in the mood to watch something terrible. We just watched the langoliers ~~and hackers~~ so something in that vein would be fun.

What are y’all’s favorite shitty movies?

Edit: I have been corrected: hackers is a great movie. I'm sorry everyone.

I haven't seen those two, but the best of the best of the best worst movies of all time is "The Room" (2003).

[–] BumpingFuglies@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I honestly can't imagine any movie being as perfectly terrible as The Room. It gets even better when you start to look into the director/lead actor/writer/producer, Tommy Wiseau. I'm fully convinced that he's either D.B. Cooper or an alien. Maybe both.

Wait what??? Some kind of gene experimenting gone wrong?

Came to say this, you beat me to it. Definitely The VelociPastor!

[–] Spitfire@pawb.social 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The original Mortal Kombat movie.

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That is a great movie.

If you want a shitty fight movie watch the Street Fighter movie. Van Damme, Kylie Mongue, and the dad in Addams family...I mean what more do you want.

[–] Spitfire@pawb.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For me it’s so bad that it’s good.

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

That MK sound track still gets me hype.

[–] calhoon2005@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

What about Streetfighter?

[–] netburnr@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

How dare you call hackers terrible.

[–] ryven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How shitty are we talking? Because there's, like, Super Mario Bros. (1993), which is a movie I liked that most people didn't, and then there's Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (1964), or The Corpse Grinders (1971), which I had fun watching but are actually terrible movies.

[–] minorsecond@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Those are all great suggestions. Super Mario Bros. is a classic!

Hackers! i never saw it as a kid but my wife decided to go see it on a whim when there was a showing for the 20th anniversary and we immediately fell in love with it. It's simultaneously terrible and brilliant at the same time. we now watch it every couple months. HACK THE PLANET!

edit: i should probably fully read the original post before commenting

[–] minorsecond@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

It's one of my wife's favorites! We actually decided we're going to rewatch it tonight for like the 15th time.

[–] pH3ra@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I might be a little too basic, but I'm sticking with Sharknado

An absolute GEM of is Dead Alive from Peter Jackson. Just incredibly bonkers and the goriest movie ever made (lawnmowers ftw). Highly recommend it for 80s campy fun.

[–] simple@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Kung Pow. It's so bad it loops back to being good.

[–] talos@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

They said bad movie, not cinematic masterpiece.

[–] havilland@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Top secret with val kilmer

Kung fu hustle and shaolin soccer are also good.

[–] makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm sorry to post off your comment but there's no icon I can find to comment on the main thread in Jerboa.

But, we just watched Die Heart. It was just silly and fun.

Down Periscope

It's awful and the jokes are terrible but at the end of the day, so endearing.

[–] Zebov@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Moonfall. So where to start...

It was a big budget action flick, with sci-fi mixed in. Now don't get me wrong, I can suspend my disbelief just fine - you want to tell me that a zombie can rip a mountain in two, so be it. But the scientist in me just couldn't get past a couple things. It's an absolute blast of a movie, with great visuals. Mild spoilers below.

They successfully hide from gravity behind a concrete barrier. A space shuttle launches from the ground through a tsunami (literally in the water). Just absolutely bonkers. But so, so fun.

[–] dan1101@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Manos the Hands of Fate. Better with MST3K or Rifftrax commentary.

[–] minorsecond@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

That's a classic!

Fukushima 50 - the overacting was hilarious at times. Knowing it's based on a real story I felt bad at times for laughing so much.

[–] Thurgo@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Check out Dracula 3000 if you are looking to laugh at a vampire horror movie featuring Coolio in space.

House Shark is a cinematic masterpiece and I'd watch it again anytime

[–] anditshottoo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, I see your edit.

But I'm still angry. I will try to forgive you but it's gonna take work.

[–] minorsecond@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Mess with the best, die like the rest. amirite?

[–] Aesculapius@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hudson Hawk. Goofy heist movie with Bruce Willis who plays a cat burglar who is hired by a rich dude to steal several pieces of art which contain the secret to transmuting lead into gold.

[–] undeadfoodsnob@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Bunny!... Ball, Ball!

[–] Susaga@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Does Robogeisha count? A robot chops a building and the building bleeds, and I don't know if that counts as "bad" or "transcendent human experience".

Trailer, for the curious.

[–] homoludens@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If I like it, it's not terrible (plus I agree with /u/netburnr).

That said: G.O.R.A. and Accion Mutante are great campy Sci-Fi movies. The latter is a bit more gory.

Maybe not favorite, but Zombie Strippers was a lot better than it should have been. They should have also kept the deleted scenes, like the stripper logic.

new neil breen film should be dropping soon so i'm holding out for that

Waterworld. It's so terrible but at the same time I love it.

[–] regular_human@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Dry land is not a myth!

[–] zyratoxx@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

The "Assassin's Creed" movie

Ok, now if you are looking for a movie that is all style and low on substance, may I suggest: Repo! The Genetic Opera.

It’s a very 2000’s rock opera with pretty good visuals. It’s got a really fun vibe and very goth aesthetics. There isn’t much depth but you will probably be signing along by the end of it. REEEEEEPO MAN! REEEEPO man!

[–] Templa@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Franklyn (2008). I love Eva Green and the Steampunk vibes at the beginning.

[–] Sabakodgo@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Any of the Twilight movies.

[–] NochMehrG@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

"Evil alien conquerors", it even has its own theme song!

Plan 9 From Outer Space redefined bad movies for me. It's inexcusably bad. Many bad movies are really just doing the best they can with the skills of the cast and crew. But the filmmakers of Plan 9 From Outer Space just keep making decisions that are so much worse than they have to be. It's amazing to watch.
