The new Naked Gun, actually. The idea falls in to the same FUCK NO camp as every other god damn nostalgia grab from Hollywood in recent years. The plot is stupid, even compared to some of the old Leslie Nielsen movies that worked the plot developments in to jokes a bit better and naturally had more of their own humor than references .... buuuuut, the execution still had me straight up laughing out loud at quite a lot of it.
I put this on expecting a trainwreck and a cash grab too, but it still had me laughing my ass off. It really felt like they understood why the originals were so funny.

I love that one of the first items stolen is literally labeled PLOT Device
Cocaine Bear
Any movie done in Hollywood has a shitty plot in the last 30 years.
Action movies, many of which I enjoy, are the worst offenders.
Change my mind.

Saving Private Ryan. World War II was a terrible idea.
Jupiter Ascending
Smiley Face, truly a stoner classic, basically no plot at all but also excellent.
Smiley Face was made by Greg Araki, who has made some really dark, depressing, and generally fucked-up shit. I mean, he has a movie called "Totally Fucked Up." If not Smiley Face, he may be best known for The Doom Generation. He also made a few movies with James Duval, who was the crop duster's son in Independence Day (his first big film IIRC) and Frank the Bunny in Donnie Darko.
Araki made Smiley Face because his last few movies were so depressing, so he wanted to do something a little brighter. That's why it has "basically no plot," it's a feel-good (ish?) movie.
Spontaneous
For some unknown reason, teenagers in a small town keep randomly exploding in a mess of blood and guts. The rest of the plot is a coming of age black comedy around that premise. I thought it was quite good.
Titanic
Depends on what stupid means.
Theres a lot of surrealist films I love. Particularly by bunuel and lynch.
Well thatβs just, like, your opinion, man.
Casablanca
Stupid plot?
While I love the movie dearly, you might summarize the plot as some guy he didn't really know happening to leave Rick some valuable documents before getting murdered and Rick then agonizing for a while before deciding to give these documents to the husband of this old girlfriend for sentimental reasons, the end.
If you were really bad at sumerizing i suppose.
