    Dude, Where’s My Car? is so much better than it had any right to be. And while the main characters are stoners, most of the humor isn’t stoner humor. Not that there’s anything wrong with stoner humor, but movies that consist entirely of stoner humor tend to drag after a while.

    One I love and haven’t seen mentioned is Equalibrium, I’ve probably seen it 5 times, which is a lot of times for me. I see its ham fisted metaphors and raise you gun karate.

    Chronicles of Riddick. Not sure it’s considered a “bad” movie, but I definitely like it more than most. Just a crazy entertaining world and system they build in a short 2 hour long movie.

    Last Action Hero. I know the editing is pretty bad and the rhythm is a bit messed up in the last part but it’s the most meta movie ever and an homage/parody to classic action movies. Having Arnold play the main part is the cherry on top.

    Sucker Punch and D.E.B.S.

    no, it’s not cuz I’m a lesbian!

    …ok maybe it’s cuz I’m a lesbian

    oh also TRON Legacy. “tHe PlOt iS sTuPiD” yeah no shit it’s TRON, the original was a glorified feature length CG animation test reel. I came here for pretty lights, cool motorcycles, Daft Punk, Jeff Bridges, and Olivia Wilde being hot, not for prestige cinema lmao

    Tremors 2 is peak cinema IMHO. I only wish they had spent a little more on the CGI, or replaced it all with practical effects.

      I blame the marketing for that movie not doing well. People went expecting a “wacky Jim Carrey flick” and what they got was a surreal and frightening thriller.

      Eddie Murphy’s “Holy Man” suffers that bad marketing issue as well. They plastered so many ads making it out to be a loony Eddie Murphy film and the movie itself is more of an uplifting drama about believing in one’s self and not seeking external validation, with a few gags in it making fun of television shopping networks and the stupid shit people buy from them cause yeah, it’s Eddie Murphy of course they’re gonna have fun with it. But that’s only like 1/3rd of the film.

    Super Mario Bros. No, not the new CGI one, the old live action one. I know I’m not alone in loving this movie, but man is it divisive— those that don’t like it, HATE it, and I think that’s the majority opinion.

    I unironically love this movie. It’s not just nostalgia either, though I did watch it as a kid. I also watched the old Zelda cartoon as a kid when it first came out, and I loved it then but I can’t stand it now. No, I’ve watched this movie recently and it still rocks. It’s perfect for what it is, I think.
