Some of those are a given (Highlander 2, Battlefield Earth) but others suggest they need to watch more movies.

I'd also include:

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003)
Cosmic Sin (2021) and Anti-Life (2020) - I understand the context but that doesn't stop them from being shit
Alone in the Dark (2005) - screw Uwe Boll
Monster (2008)
Disaster Movie (2008)
Brazilian Star Wars (1978)
Doghouse (2008) - punchable
Most mockbusters, especially the Atlantic Rim ones

I haven't watched it, and I'm Brazilian, but I'll defend Brazilian Start Wars anyway. I'll basically defend [any nationality] Star Wars actually. [any nationality] [any popular franchise] needs to be a genre.

Here you go - it's dreadful.

[any nationality] [any popular franchise] needs to be a genre.

There are enough Italian Star Wars films to form their own genre.

I looked it up after commenting. It's a Trapalhões movie. I probably watched it as a child. I don't know how or when you watched it, but I would have to defend it for historical reasons. It's the first movie with the four comedians that formed the main group together. The special effects are awful for being filmed using videotapes and sending them to the USA for transferring to 35mm (an illegal act at the time). They are clowns, as in circus clowns making cinema, which informs a lot of the comedy.

All that to say, as before, it's good dreadful, something not everyone even believe exists.
