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?

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

[–] [email protected] 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!

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

The original Mortal Kombat movie.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (2 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.

What about Streetfighter?

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

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 6 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.

Bunny!... Ball, Ball!

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

They said bad movie, not cinematic masterpiece.

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Down Periscope

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

That's a classic!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

How dare you call hackers terrible.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Lol true. It’s actually one of my wife’s favorites!

The 90's version of Island of Doctor Moreau is absolutely fucking terrible, and absolutely fucking fantastic. The story behind its production is also really wild and there's a documentary about it called Lost Soul: The Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley's Island of Dr. Moreau that I can recommend.

Kurt Russell's Soldier is also one of my favorite bad movies

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 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.

Top secret with val kilmer

Kung fu hustle and shaolin soccer are also good.

[–] [email protected] 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.

Any of the Twilight movies.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

The "Assassin's Creed" movie

[–] [email protected] 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.

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Dry land is not a myth!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I love trash! Even though I love these movies, I feel most would label them as terrible. I would also recommend any of these movies if you haven't seen them.

Three movies from S. Craig Zahler

  • Bone Tomahawk
  • Brawl in Cell Block 99
  • Dragged Across Concrete

Extra Trash

  • Cemetery Man (Dellamorte Dellamore)
  • Deep Rising
  • Escape From L.A.
  • Idle Hands
  • Warlock
  • Surf Ninjas
  • Your Highness

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

I loved Jason X. When I saw it on scifi as a kid and when I watched it again as an adult.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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.
