Okay, I’ve got one that no one has mentioned.
Without clicking the link, just imagine what it might be.
Yes. It is exactly what you imagined. But somehow it’s also just all around…good? It’s good. I can’t explain it. But… it’s just… a pretty good movie.
Freaky! For the most part, name a movie, any movie, and I haven’t seen it. But I’m one of the few people who saw Space Truckers in a theater. Stuart Gordon went to school here, so he had screening of the film at the student union, followed by a Q&A session, back in '96.
Yes, it was a hoot! Gordon was a founder of an experimental theater company here which has the improv mentality of treating goofy ideas seriously and just going with them. That sensibility shows through in the movie, for sure.
It absolutely shows through. Watching Space Truckers is surreal like leaning over to look at a drawing on someone’s refrigerator, only to gradually realize that it’s a Picasso or a Rembrandt, just from their “crayon” phase. Space Truckers absolutely is what it says on the movie cover, just executed with a surprising mastery than even a casual movie fan like me couldn’t miss.
Square hogs! Yeah, it’s fair to say I loved this one from the start.
Square hogs! The square hogs are one of my all time favorite movie details. They’re so goofy, but still enhance the world building.
I like me some square pigs.
Mine’s gotta be The Brothers’ Grimm staring Matt Damon and Heath Ledger. It’s the same camp vibe as the Van Helsing movie starring Hugh Jackman, but there’s no badass super hero to save the day - there’s just a bunch of imperfect people trying their best, and it’s almost entirely by luck or destiny that they snatch victory from the clutches of defeat. It’s also one of the most morbid depictions of childish horror i’ve seen on-screen, where it gives no fucks about being realistic.
That era of movies is what everyone wants their D&D campaigns to be.
Eurotrip …“Scotty doesn’t know…”
Contact
I know but that’s why I like it
What heck man that is an awesome movie! Based on a Carl Sagan book (which I own) and got Jodie Foster in it (my first movie star crush) this doesn’t belong here.
For me its Mallrats. and Jersey Girl, don’t care what Kevin Smith says those are both great movies.
The carl sgan : contact
The movie is good but the book is better
Mall rats is widely beloved, but Jersey girl is hated appropriately
Contact is amazing. there’s no way it could be considered a “shitty lil movie”
Death to Smoochy
I love this fucking movie and noone else understands why, it’s nearly perfect. Even John Stewart is there with truly terrible acting.
Psychotic Robin Williams
He was magnificent
Titan A.E. Is a masterpiece.
So I married an axe murderer.
Head!
Aw. He’ll be crying himself to sleep tonight on his HUGE pilla.
“Who Framed Roger Rabbit”.
An absolute masterpiece in terms of blending and transitioning between live action and animation; plus the whole Disney/Warner Bros character crossovers… just 👌🏼
This won three Oscars my guy. Far from shitty.
But that’s not a shitty movie
The world’s oldest person with downs syndrome would demand to watch this movie every night. On VHS. …Which became more of a challenge with the years.
Grandma’s Boy. If you’re a gamer, its a must watch.
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.
Maybe just a touch of cgi, like for the rippling wall when they cross dimensions, or morphing species when hit with the de-evolution ray. But that barely counts. The practical effects and set design were wonderful, and despite the weirdness of the mushroom king, definitely still hold up.
Reign of Fire.
Who said this movie is bad? That’s the hill on which there is dying.
Six String Samurai. It’s not good. But it’s soooo quotable!
Nice shoes. Nice shoes to DIE in!
Holy crap. I haven’t thought about that movie in 20 years.
Hunh, I liked ypu better when you didn’t talk
Have this movie on the to watch list,my other half is not so interested
Crank.“5mls? no 0.5mls! Elevator explodes”
Peak ADHD movie
The first time ne was a masterpiece. The sequel was horrible.
I loved them both so much. Super self-aware movies. Best action movies ever.
Agree, left a real sour taste.
Hackers
Hot Rod! I can quote pretty much the whole movie. It’s such a fun ride.
Dude Hot Rod is cool beans! In fact it’s legit. Maybe even too legit. To legit to quit. I think it’s pretty popular; could be wrong though.
Damn, you could be the next Douglas Bubbletrousers
I’d watch it for the Europe-heavy soundtrack alone, but the film is a damned masterpiece.
Buckaroo Banzai
That theme song is a legit banger. And my god the quotes… “No, no, no, don’t tug on that. You never know what it might be attached to.” or “It drives like a truck.” “Good. What is a truck?” or “I’ve been ionized but I’m ok now.” or my favorite “DAMN JOHN WHORFIN AND THE HORSE HE RODE IN ON!”
“What’s the deal with the watermelon?” “Umm…I’ll tell you later.”

Ice Pirates (1984): A bunch of A-Listers before they were big. Great practical effects. Spaceships, Pirates, Time Travel, ‘robots’ It was magnificent.
Close second: The Cat from Outer Space (1978). It was a Disney flick, but really great for the time.
Cat from outer space! One of my favs. Star studded cast too.
I absolutely fucking love how in pretty much the entire 3rd act how you can tell the whole cast is having fun and barely trying to stay serious even in the takes that made the final cut.
But you want to know the kicker? It’s not even my favorite Stewart Raffill movie.
What’s your favorite Stewart Raffill movie? Tell me it’s not Mac and Me.
I can’t wait to watch Ice Pirates. Thank you.
Yeah the budget was cut a lot just before shooting started. I think the director and cast said it’s going to bomb so let’s just have fun.
Probably for the best, I think the fun made it worth it. It gives me Airplane like vibes which fell under the same constraints.
Congo? Congo…
Love this movie, nothing like the book, but Tim curry with a stupid accent is all it takes to please me.
Come on that don’t belong here great movie based on the same writer behind Jussica Park, both books I own. This movie has the legendary Tim Curry not a bad movie.
Look you don’t have to sell me on it, I absolutely love it, but we are not in the majority on this…
The Core. The perfect dumb movie that’s fun to watch.
Wild Wild West baby! You know, the movie Will Smith turned down being Neo in The Matrix for lol
My wife’s family loves The Princess Bride, but I love telling them that Stardust is better. It might not be correct, but it’s a pretty fun hill to die on.
Mortal Engines!
Elrond commanding motorized london for the win
Lost in Space
Monty Python and the holy grail
Kung Pow
George and the Christmas Star
Star Trek IV: The Journey Home is way the hell better than any movie with “IV” in its title has any right to be.
Robot Jox
Hudson Hawk
Not just one, and DONT GO CALLING The Long Kiss Goodnight SHITTY YOU … YOU … MEAN PERSON!

Aeonflux, except I don’t actually bother trying to defend it.

I put Ultraviolet next to this too. I’m not here for cohesive world building, I’m here for gratuitous sci-fi action perpetrated by a woman with a bad haircut.

Mirror’s Edge was if both of these movies merged into one and made something actually good.
I jest, but I’ve seen both and while they’re gorgeous, I basically ended up ignoring plot.

The film was better than the old MTV series it was based on. They built a compelling world in the animated version, but the film delivered on that vision.

The movie, or the show?

The movie. Didn’t know there was a show.
