    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.

      It’s great fun mixed with dystopia. I’d take that over yet another romcom / teen makeover movie any day of the week.

      I watched that recently after seeing it recommended here (maybe you did!) and enjoyed it.

      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!

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

      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.

    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.
