1000% Monkey Bone with Brendan Fraser.
It’s an absurdist comedy that, while it admittedly doesn’t hit every mark, is a fantastic and extremely fun watch.
I’ve seen it like 3-4 times and the art alone is worth the price of admission.
I’m surprised nobody has mentioned Battlefield Earth (2000).
What started as a scientology passion project for John Travolta turned into the best comedy since blazing saddles imo. I feel like it’s a timey wimey sequel to Idiocracy in spirit. The Travolta cyclo trying to bribe man animals with their favorite food (raw rat), thousand year old military equipment working flawlessly with no maintainence, thinking standard gold ingots and gold ore are basically the same, it’s a whole acid trip condensed into whatever the runtime happens to be. It’s a fuckin riot as long as you go into the experience expecting a comedy.
Honestly I couldn’t finish the movie.
The bf and I love to watch shitty movies and laugh but we had to stop this one about an hour in because the dutch angles were giving me motion sickness.
I did say acid trip, and I wasn’t being facetious. It’s the Ron Hubbard signature
You’re so right actually
Going postal.
UHF went up against Batman in the summer of 1989. It made only 6 million at the box office and cost 5 million to make. But that film became a cult classic because it was an absolute banger that everyone slept on.
Both G.I. Joe movies are my guilty pleasure.
Equilibrium. The ratings are better now but it wasn’t well received at the time. Also, The Village.
Haha, The Village is utterly appalling
I’m still waiting for the adventure to continue. Remo Williams was a great pilot that should have set up a series or at least some sequels
In a time where everything is getting a remake/sequel it’s definitely time we give one to Remo Williams. I can’t think of a more deserving movie.
Titan A.E. isn’t great, but for some reason i enjoyed it.
Ditto Battle: Los Angeles
It’s cool how everyone is replying with no IMDb or TVDB links. Having to search whatever title is mentioned in a comment and guess at the correct result makes for a truly enjoyable thread.
Death to Smoochie (2002) is my #1. It has an insane cast, dark absurd humor, and is honestly beautifully shot and has great pacing. I mean, Robin Williams played a spiraling psychopathic technicolor disgraced childrens’ TV show host, opposite a naiive optimistic idealistic purple rhino played by Ed Norton. 🤌There’s children’s TV networks, the mob, murder, Nazis, meth, ice shows, soy hotdogs, merchandising, brain damaged boxers, and sing-alongs! The only thing it doesn’t have is explicit sex - I guess because that would be too much.
Joker 2 Electric Boogaloo. I thought it was well made, thought provoking, and a good critique of all the chuds who idolised the first film for the wrong reasons.
Two movies come to mind:
Alita Battle Angel (2019) might be the best Anime adaptation to date. It has become one of my favorite movies of all time. I guess it wasn’t received badly, it has been barely received at all. This should have been a blockbuster, but most people aren’t even aware the movie exists! It’s such a shame, I really hope we get the follow up movies, because this one was great!
John Carter (2012) wasn’t great, I have to admit. I can’t argue with it’s 6.6 rating on IMDb. It’s a flawed movie, but it is so much fun! It’s an epic pulp adventure! If you go in expecting just that, turn off your brain and just enjoy the ride, you will have a great time! People were really too hard on it, when it came out!
I loved Alita Battle Angel until the love interest plot. If they would’ve stripped that entire character from the movie it would be significantly higher up on my movies list.
Haven’t watched the movie, but I do know the romance plot was lifted from the manga.
+1 to both of these!
John Carter was accused of being too derivative, but hilariously its source material (the book A Princess of Mars) was the great-grandaddy of science fantasy as a genre. So JC is derivative of a bunch of movies that got their ideas and inspiration from APoM.
I fucking loved Moonfall, it was spectacular.
Super Mario Bros (1993) is one of my favorite movies of all time.
It’s a bizarre mess of a film, full of counter-culture icons in a weird sci-fi dystopian setting. Despite being objectively awful, there isn’t another movie quite like it, and it’s a fun watch.
It’s a shame that the nightmarish production took such a heavy toll on everyone involved in the project because I’d like to see more screwball adaptations of things
Speed Racer (2008, written and directed by the Wachowskis) captured the bizarre energy of the animated series perfectly. I watched the cartoon as a kid, so I “got it”. Apparently, a lot of people didn’t.
Fantastic movie!!
