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.

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.

Office Space.

Eurotrip ..."Scotty doesn't know.."

Grandma's Boy. If you're a gamer, its a must watch.

Office Space all day

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.

So I married an axe murderer.

Hackers

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.

If you'll notice the arterial nature of the blood coming from the hole in my head, you can assume that we're all having a real lousy day.

Interstate 60 - a cute quirky B movie with some hella famous actors. Gary Oldman, Christopher Lloyd, Michael J Fox, James Maraden, Chris Cooper, Amy Smart, Kurt Russell. It is a fun and imaginative ride along a made up highway. My favorite scene was the town of Morelaw.

Big Trouble - a great movie shut down by circumstance. It was set for release in late 2001, the end of the movie involves hijacking a plane with a nuclear bomb, but then 9/11 happened so they sent it straight to video and stopped advertising it. Based on a Dave Barry novel, it’s a hilarious story involving a crazy cast of characters you may meet in Florida. Another star studded cast including Tim Allen, The Tooch, Martha Stewart, Janine Garofalo, Zoey Deschanel, Omar Epps, Jason Lee, Johnny Knoxville, and many more.

I have only met a couple people ever who have seen either of these movies.

Not just one, and DONT GO CALLING The Long Kiss Goodnight SHITTY YOU .. YOU .. MEAN PERSON!

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.

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.

Hentai Kamen

No, I will not elaborate

The Golden Child.

I I I I I want the knife...

Please...

Can I say a film franchise? If so then The Fast and The Furious movies.

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.

Monty Python and the holy grail

Empire Records.

I make references from that movie all the time and nobody ever gets it. Doesn't stop me.

I just rewatched Earth Girls are Easy last week and that'd be on my list.

90 minutes of prime Gina Davis in a bikini doesn't hurt either.

Did you know Angels in the Outfield has a 31% on rottentomatoes? I'm scared to watch it again because I remember it as a perfect movie.

I saw a YouTube video about crappy movies and they had Congo on there, I had such a visceral reaction to seeing it on that list. Congo is one of my favourite movies ever, i can recite every line of that movie, from Tim curry to Earnie Hudson to Joey pants, I will die on the hill that Congo is a great movie
