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 like 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.

Mario Bros is hated on hardcore, but to a fan, it was a great movie. You’ll never see something like Mario Bros again, I dont think they had any CGI in that movie.

I’m just going to drop selections from the Troma catalog in here:
- The Toxic Avenger
- Surf Nazis Must Die
- Class of Nuke ‘em High
- Sgt. Kabukiman NYPD
- Tromeo and Juliet
These are objectively shitty movies. Most of these movies are irredeemable; hell, some of them are down right an exercise in poor taste. A lot of it hasn’t aged well, and I’m not talking about the cinematography. I haven’t kept up with Troma in the 21st century, though, so maybe Troma has gotten worse-better or better-worse?
However, I find joy in these movies because they are like a time warp back to New Jersey and New York in the 80s and 90s. They were so low budget and always filmed around New York (except for Toxic Avenger II which somehow was filmed in Japan), that they used a lot of family members of the cast and crew or random locals as extras. It is obvious that a lot of people on screen probably didn’t know they were being filmed (or if they did, didn’t realize what type of movie they were in). There’s bad hair and makeup (but not from the effects department), and thick accents and regionalisms that have faded. There are mainstreets and skylines that don’t exist anymore, or if they do, are wildly different. It is amazing to catch a glimpse of an era that doesn’t exist anymore. This exists in all old movies, but the low-budget realness hits differently.
Most of these movies are trash, but they’re my trash. Apologies to Mr. Kaufman.

In the same vein:
Johnny Mnemonic is unironically pretty damn good.
The pacing gets clunky in some spots, production quality is a bit off in some sections… honestly not really worse than say Escape from New York… its honestly overall pretty damn good.

This one deserves its own thread fr. Keanu Reeves worked his ass off to try and pull this together and it works in its cheesy way.

I can’t like that movie because it was so insulting for the culture at the time. Tacky and stupid. No self respecting 90s technology person respects that movie.

I, Frankenstein
CGI filled brainless action with demons and gargoyles fighting a secret war. Aaron Eckhart as Frankenstein is stuck in the middle. The whole thing tries to copy the vibe of Underworld and mostly fails. Somehow I still love watching it. It’s just the right kind of bad for me.

RV with Robin Williams came out at a good age for me, I was like 12 so poop jokes and mean spirited jokes that the movie is full of clicked with me.

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.

We got free tickets to DWmC after Shaft burned in a slow dialogue scene. So we saw this for free.
I’m reminded of the reviewer differences between this and The Emperor’s New Groove when I mention we still wanted a refund.

Every character and actor fit together so well that a cheesy, weird action movie ended up feeling so much cooler than it deserved to be. It also tapped into my enjoyment of tournament fighting movies from the days of Bloodsport and Kickboxer.

Mystery Men is a phenomenal send up of the superhero genre. It’s simultaneously extremely 1999 and decades ahead of its time.

Honestly, Geoffrey Rush is just really good and being bad. I’ll watch any movie where he plays the villain.

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.
pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 1 day ago
Oh, good one!
Pitch Black, in particular, is one that is hard to explain to anyone who didn’t see it under ideal circumstances.
I feel like folks ask me:
“Isn’t that just another dark sci-fi edgelord apocalypse movies?”
I mean, technically, I guess, yes - but it’s so well done that it becomes something more.
Bosht@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I used to tell people it’s a movie that switches genres halfway through. Movie leads you to believe you know who the bad guy is, convincing you it may be a sci-fi slasher film. Then the sun(s) go down. Now it’s an entirely different type of horror film. It really is a unique fun movie and I have yet to find another one similar.
Hugin@lemmy.world 23 hours ago
I’m in the minority where Chronicles of Riddick is the only Riddick movie I like. Such a neat universe.

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.

Loads of classics in this thread, worth bookmarking to revisit later. Let me add one of my own that I haven’t seen mentioned:
Babe: Pig in the City (1998) - The first movie I saw in the theater by myself, because nobody could be arsed to come along. In the end I was glad, because I cried so much.

Equilibrium is not a shitty movie, right? It‘s simple and straightforward, but in a good sense. Bale really aced the role for what it was!
