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 2 years 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.

The original Mortal Kombat movie.

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 years 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 2 years ago (1 children)

For me it’s so bad that it’s good.

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

That MK sound track still gets me hype.

[–] calhoon2005@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago

What about Streetfighter?

[–] havilland@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

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

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

[–] netburnr@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (3 children)

How dare you call hackers terrible.

[–] minorsecond@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

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

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

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 1 points 2 years ago

Bunny!... Ball, Ball!

[–] ryven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[–] dan1101@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] minorsecond@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

That's a classic!

[–] interolivary@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

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

[–] simple@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] talos@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

They said bad movie, not cinematic masterpiece.

[–] hsl@wayfarershaven.eu 4 points 2 years ago

Down Periscope

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

[–] homoludens@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago (2 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.

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

[–] Thurgo@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

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

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 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] havilland@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Top secret with val kilmer

Kung fu hustle and shaolin soccer are also good.

[–] makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years 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.

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

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.

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

[–] talos@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] regular_human@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Dry land is not a myth!

[–] zyratoxx@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

The "Assassin's Creed" movie

[–] Candelestine@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Probably Sucker Punch. Has nothing to do with a crush I may or may not have on Jena Malone, and exclusively to do with the straight-played, over-the-top ridiculousness of the entire film.

[–] anditshottoo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years 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 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] earlgrey0@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years 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!

[–] Templa@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

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

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

Any of the Twilight movies.

[–] NochMehrG@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

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