The Core. The perfect dumb movie that’s fun to watch.
Hackers. Till the day I die…
hAcK tHe pLaNeT!!1!
They’re trashing our rights! TRASHING them!
Hackers is a legitimately great film.
Hacker is the best !
In the same vein:
Johnny Mnemonic is unironically pretty damn good.
The pacing gets clunky in some spots, production quality is a bit off in some sections… honestly not really worse than say Escape from New York… its honestly overall pretty damn good.
This one deserves its own thread fr. Keanu Reeves worked his ass off to try and pull this together and it works in its cheesy way.
mess with the best
die like the rest
i love that shit.
Uhm, but Hackers is not shitty.
I can’t like that movie because it was so insulting for the culture at the time. Tacky and stupid. No self respecting 90s technology person respects that movie.
Self-respect is for people with class
No self respecting 90s technology person respects that movie.
How dare you?!
Oh…wait. “self respecting”. Okay. Fair enough.
Movie made me get into IT. I hate and love it at the same time.
The Last Starfighter is not a shitty movie. Now go to sleep, Louis, before I tell ma about your Playboys.
Wait, people think it is?
How do… YOU do?
The Last Starfighter, Flight of the Navigator, and Batteries Not Included: the trifecta of 80s kids scifi
Flight of the Navigator
Oh wow, this kicked up some memories
“I don’t leak, you leak.”
I’d get ‘explorers’ in there too
I might swap in Explorers as the third to complete the “kids flying spaceships” theme. But BNI was a classic too.
Lost in Space
If you mean the '98 one, hell yeah! That metal helmet scene is so cool, Gary Oldman kills it all the way through, and itty bitty me had a huge crush on Penny Robinson.
Same here. Crushed hard on her. <3
This is a perfect example for this thread.
So much of that film officially cannot work:
The pacing is frantic and weird.
It relies on familiarity with the source show while being stand-alone and released too late. (Well, maybe it realizes that “Swiss Family Robinson in space” isn’t rocket science.)
Various wild science fiction elements are slammed together, some very late with little foreshadowing.
But - the cast carries it off (particularly Garry Oldman and Lacey Chabert).
I have the hardest time explaining why anyone should watch it, but it’s solidly enterainting, and all the bits that shouldn’t work still somehow work.
One of the first movies available on DVD that we had. In the old paper and clamp case, not the plastic ones that became synonymous.
I think I always say it young enough and the sci-fi captured me so I always loved it.
Fuck yes! One of the first and few dvds I had. Watched the fuck outta that bad boy so many times.
I think of this movie every time I see a guillotine paper cutter.
Which one?
that movie triggered my puberty
Is that usher?

Void, yes; absolute perfection.
I never liked those quilting bees or the bingo parlours. I wanted to live life to the extreme.
—-
The sound track and voice acting punched well above the movie’s aesthetics.
The need for speed movie. It’s not bad. I feel like the game they chose to reference is the worst and best choice for it.
I unironically enjoy the old 2005 Fantastic 4 movie. It was cheesy as fuck, I don’t deny that. But it was fun. And the comics themselves can be as bad or worse sometimes.
Also I like Julian McMahon.
Also also, Chris Evans towel scene.
I unironically enjoy the old 2005 Fantastic 4 movie. It was cheesy as fuck, I don’t deny that.
I hated it when it came out, because all super hero movies were cheesy as fuck, and it felt bad seeing another.
But in hindsight, Fantastic Four movies are better when they’re cheesy as fuck, because so was/I’d the comic (more often than not).
My only remaining complaint is that the sequel was too chickenshit to give Galactus a giant purple fork hat. I noticed happily that the shadow of the fork hat made it into the trailer, for the new movie.
Now imagine that… but all over
Mortal Engines!
Elrond commanding motorized london for the win
Making a film so bland and forgettable but still one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen is a feat.
what was the plot around the protagonists about? dunno. something stupid
doesn’t matter, the rest was excellent
Was good books.
oh it didn’t occur to me that there would be a book it’s based on. im putting the first book on my wish list
usually the books hollywood puts through the grinder have much better stories and make me appreciate the films less
notable exception is lord of the rings, where the films were better than the books and maybe the new dunes as well

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets was like that.
Oh, that was one I meant to watch at some point. Adding to the queue.
I loved everything about that move but the main two. It’s like this highschool dweeb has an uncle that owns a movie studio and talked him into using it to woo his hot crush by casting her in a realization of love plot. Every character other than the horny dweeb and the chick that really doesn’t want to bang him rocks their part and the plot is such a great concept and the graphics are tearjerkingly beautiful, and somehow none of it makes up for the two dinguses that hog the screen.
It was impressive how bad the Romance was. And how bad at acting the two leads were.
I suggest it to people strictly on that lol
I seriously doubt that it would count as ‘shittty’, but it wasn’t very well received and is not widely known either, for me rather a kind of comfort movie I’ll defend till the edges of the earth: the Cohen brothers’ ‘A Serious Man’
The Descent
Not a shitty movie
I hate the fact that they made ‘The Descent 2’. Totally (and unnecessarily) killed the ambiguous ending of the original.
There is no war but class war.
Gutter is a tool!
Can you blow me where the pampers is?
Genuinely love this movie. So weird to see a lot of the actors in really early roles lol
Right? Who could have predicted that Gutter would go on to lay the foundations for Marvel’s decades-long cinematic dominance?
Lol he is a force to be reckoned with for sure
Six String Samurai. It’s not good. But it’s soooo quotable!
Nice shoes. Nice shoes to DIE in!
Holy crap. I haven’t thought about that movie in 20 years.

Moonfall.
I just watched this for the first time about 3 months ago and it became my spouse’s absolute favourite for those 3 months. It honestly feels like it should have been a videogame. The Musk praise is so fucking funny given the current state of the US, the premise makes less than no sense, but it’s just so freaking good.
