Ask Lemmy

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance - one of the worst Marvel adaptations, but also one of the most unintentionally funny movies of all time.

Nic Cage trying to stop an old man from getting inside a little boy?

Establishing that any vehicle Ghost Rider drives gets a hellish makeover so they can have a flaming Bagger 288 for an action set piece?

Pure cinema.

Thanks for all the suggestions, I think I now have a late new year's resolution.

I'll download all of them this weekend and watch as many as possible the end of the year.

I once made a list of 7 movies that fit this criteria.

The Room, because duh. This movie is great because it is so terrible and sincerely thinks it is great. The story behind the movie is just as fantastic. If you must, get a hold of The Disaster Artist as an audio book. It is fantastic. Ignore and forget that piss tier James Franco movie that the book was based on. The book is so much better and it is hysterical to listen to in Greg's own voice + his Tommy impressions are perfect.

Winter's Tale - a supposed Adaptation of a Shakespeare play or something. In reality it is the most chaotic and hilariously terrible movie I can think of, complete with terrible Colin Firth haircut and Will Smith as an edge lord Devil. And so many more great things. I had a blast watching this one.

Jupiter Ascending. If I remember correctly, it was made by the siblings who made the Matrix and it is the most nonsensical sci-fi turd ever, but man is it funny. Unintentionally, might I add. I don't remember much from this film other than laughing so hard I was crying.

The Wicker Man woth Nick Cage. I love the original. That one is genuinely great and terrifying. The Nick Cage one is a clown show and no one can tell me that it isn't funny to see Nick Cage in a bear suit, punching women.

Show Girls. For obvious reasons. A total and utter mishandling of a very serious and at times horrific subject matter, but mishandled so poorly it surpasses being offensive and falls straight into hilarity.

Breaking Dawn Part 2. Martin Sheens laugh. Renesmee doll that was replaced with CGI horror. Grown man imprinting on a baby. Martin Sheen's laugh. Fakeout fight scene that made all the dead serious fangirls scream and cry in the cinema on release. "You nicknamed my daughter after the loc nest monster??" Also, Martin Sheen's laugh.

The Death Note Netflix Adaptation. I invited my anime friends to a watch along when this movie came out initially, because I knew what would happen when I did. The anger and outrage was interspersed with bewildered and hysterical laughter and replays of scenes that were so bad, nobody could believe their eyes. I was just there to sow the chaos at the time and harvest the reactions. It was wonderful.

Bonus movie: Velvet Buzzsaw, but it doesn't count because I genuinely think this one is a great satire and I genuinely enjoy the movie. It's just that almost everybody else who's seen it, seem to loathe it with a passion. So it's a reverse Killers of the Flower Moon for me, where everybody seem to love it, while I think it is total and utter ass. In both cases, I am left confused at the public opinion and I will stick with mine.

Ready to Rumble.

Battlefield Earth.

Travolta prancing around a B movie set high AF on scientology will never not be peak.

I rented Doom with The Rock and Karl Urban when it went to video and proceeded to watch it like 6 times.

All the movies by Bud Spencer and Terrence Hill.

It doesn't matter which one, because the plot is always the same.

I have to stop and watch Youngblood whenever I come across it.

The Core

It's so fucking stupid that it is like a Trainwreck you can't look away from.

The Last Airbender was awful, but enjoyable. You just need to forget about the anime series for a while, and enjoy the movie as it is. It's not meant to be a cult classic or anything reviewers would praise. Brains off, action on. That's all there's to it. Watch it once, enjoy your two hours and never tell anyone you actually had a good time unless you want to start a fight.

He man and the masters of the universe.

Courtney Cox's big breakout.

Ice Pirates, I know, I know. But I can't help it.

Naked Space, a.k.a. The Creature Wasn't Nice. A terrible Leslie Nielson spoof movie from 1981 that looks like it was shot in a weekend for $500, but it's funny to a point and has some good lines.

Repo! The Genetic Opera. I stopped recommending it after five separate people all said they hated it lol

Suicide Squad featuring Will Smith. Dog water movie but it gets my monkey brain somehow

Plan Nine from Outer Space, of course.

Plague dogs. That was the absolutely worst most depressing movie I've ever seen. It a masterwork. I don't even have people in my life I would subject them to the synopsis or "highlights" though, it's just so bleak.

Watched after Watership Down people recommend them on the same thread. Watership down is just a good story, a little heavy, but good. Plague dogs was much much more bleak then the WW2 allegory for me.

Street Fighter

It's terrible. Almost nobody can act. I suspect none of the writers had even looked at the game beyond a few screenshots. The script and plot are laughable.

But then Raul Julia shows up. He knows this is crap. But his kids love the games. He's literally dying of stomach cancer in every scene. He knows this is his last movie. He's going to fucking enjoy it, and so are you.

Resident Evil: welcome to Raccoon City.

I will die in this hill, it's a decent movie even if it's not 100% with the source material

Iron Sky. Its completely shut, but funny AS hell.
