My wife and I are in the mood to watch something terrible. We just watched the langoliers ~~and hackers~~ so something in that vein would be fun.

What are y’all’s favorite shitty movies?

Edit: I have been corrected: hackers is a great movie. I'm sorry everyone.

I haven't seen those two, but the best of the best of the best worst movies of all time is "The Room" (2003).

[–] minorsecond@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yea! She hasn’t seen that one so I’ll run it by her.

Oh God. Prepare yourself for a confusing alien nightmare. The acting isn't so much bad as surreal.

[–] BumpingFuglies@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I honestly can't imagine any movie being as perfectly terrible as The Room. It gets even better when you start to look into the director/lead actor/writer/producer, Tommy Wiseau. I'm fully convinced that he's either D.B. Cooper or an alien. Maybe both.

The original Mortal Kombat movie.

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That is a great movie.

If you want a shitty fight movie watch the Street Fighter movie. Van Damme, Kylie Mongue, and the dad in Addams family...I mean what more do you want.

[–] Spitfire@pawb.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For me it’s so bad that it’s good.

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

That MK sound track still gets me hype.

[–] calhoon2005@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

What about Streetfighter?

Wait what??? Some kind of gene experimenting gone wrong?

[–] ryven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How shitty are we talking? Because there's, like, Super Mario Bros. (1993), which is a movie I liked that most people didn't, and then there's Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (1964), or The Corpse Grinders (1971), which I had fun watching but are actually terrible movies.

[–] minorsecond@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Those are all great suggestions. Super Mario Bros. is a classic!

[–] pH3ra@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

I might be a little too basic, but I'm sticking with Sharknado

[–] hsl@wayfarershaven.eu 4 points 1 year ago

Down Periscope

It's awful and the jokes are terrible but at the end of the day, so endearing.

[–] Thurgo@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Check out Dracula 3000 if you are looking to laugh at a vampire horror movie featuring Coolio in space.

[–] havilland@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Top secret with val kilmer

Kung fu hustle and shaolin soccer are also good.

[–] makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm sorry to post off your comment but there's no icon I can find to comment on the main thread in Jerboa.

But, we just watched Die Heart. It was just silly and fun.

[–] tentphone@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It looks like a speech bubble with three dots inside it, to the right of the like/dislike buttons at the bottom of the post.

[–] makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, i have that under each comment, but not the main thread.

[–] Aesculapius@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Hudson Hawk. Goofy heist movie with Bruce Willis who plays a cat burglar who is hired by a rich dude to steal several pieces of art which contain the secret to transmuting lead into gold.

[–] interolivary 4 points 1 year ago

The 90's version of Island of Doctor Moreau is absolutely fucking terrible, and absolutely fucking fantastic. The story behind its production is also really wild and there's a documentary about it called Lost Soul: The Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley's Island of Dr. Moreau that I can recommend.

Kurt Russell's Soldier is also one of my favorite bad movies

House Shark is a cinematic masterpiece and I'd watch it again anytime

[–] hexachrome@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

new neil breen film should be dropping soon so i'm holding out for that

[–] DaveedMee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

what a new one? is there a release date yet? is it another guy spoils the governments plan with throwing books against laptops? is it twisted pair 2? it's a magical day the sequel? i can't believe she commited suicide? can't wait to torture my friends with his newest creation!

[–] hexachrome@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Cade: The Tortured Crossing

he's currently running some strange gamut of film festivals, think it'll be about in the next few months. not having how he ai quantum shits and cums all over the corrupt politicians spoiled (he's terminator btw)

[–] DaveedMee 1 points 1 year ago

I just hope he abuses some laptops again. this man does what I am unable to can

Fukushima 50 - the overacting was hilarious at times. Knowing it's based on a real story I felt bad at times for laughing so much.

[–] Gatsby@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

The "Assassin's Creed" movie

[–] MyNameIsRichard@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago
[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 2 points 1 year ago

Maybe not favorite, but Zombie Strippers was a lot better than it should have been. They should have also kept the deleted scenes, like the stripper logic.

[–] ShoePaste@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Hackers! i never saw it as a kid but my wife decided to go see it on a whim when there was a showing for the 20th anniversary and we immediately fell in love with it. It's simultaneously terrible and brilliant at the same time. we now watch it every couple months. HACK THE PLANET!

edit: i should probably fully read the original post before commenting

[–] minorsecond@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

It's one of my wife's favorites! We actually decided we're going to rewatch it tonight for like the 15th time.

[–] DaveedMee 2 points 1 year ago

anything neil breen did. especially twisted pair.

[–] RickyRigatoni@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I loved Jason X. When I saw it on scifi as a kid and when I watched it again as an adult.

[–] Templa 2 points 1 year ago

Franklyn (2008). I love Eva Green and the Steampunk vibes at the beginning.

[–] Sabakodgo@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Any of the Twilight movies.

[–] Kory@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Army of Darkness (1992)

[–] NochMehrG@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

"Evil alien conquerors", it even has its own theme song!

[–] dotmatrix@lemmy.ftp.rip 1 points 1 year ago

Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger 4

[–] homoludens@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

If I like it, it's not terrible (plus I agree with /u/netburnr).

That said: G.O.R.A. and Accion Mutante are great campy Sci-Fi movies. The latter is a bit more gory.

Damn, forgot about G.O.R.A . That movie is hilarious!

[–] altasshet@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

In the same vein, Star Crash is one of my terrible favorites. With David Hasselhoff and a guy that stole the hair from David Hasselhoff.

[–] midas@ymmel.nl 1 points 1 year ago

Any of the Death Races but the old one "Death Race 2000" is so awful it's great again.

Plan 9 From Outer Space redefined bad movies for me. It's inexcusably bad. Many bad movies are really just doing the best they can with the skills of the cast and crew. But the filmmakers of Plan 9 From Outer Space just keep making decisions that are so much worse than they have to be. It's amazing to watch.
