Mine is August Rush, it's so cheesy and I know it's terrible but I've watched it a bunch of times.

Dungeons & Dragons: Wrath of the Dragon God. It's a B-rate movie, but the grittiness is part of its appeal. It's like if a group of LARPers made a movie.

Saying that I "love" it is a bit strong, but I find it enjoyable and definitely better than Dungeons & Dragons (2000).

[–] TryingToBeGood@reddthat.com 7 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Some movies are just good fun, and Nicolas Cage is frankly in a lot of those kind of flicks. Con Air is up there, too.

I'm no so ashamed but Waterworld is a glorious spectacle with great world building and an over the top performance by Dennis Hopper

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 2 points 2 hours ago

It is a terrible movie that is also a glorious spectacle and everyone (except Kevin Costner) is fantastic. Nothing makes any sense, but is fun to see and frequently illogically clever.

Watched it last week!

Buckaroo Banzai!

It is so so very good.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 1 points 58 minutes ago

heck im not ashamed of liking that one.

Robocop singing power ballads.

Jeff Goldblum in a goofy cowboy outfit.

John Lithgow as a scientist gone mad from what he's seen and Christopher Lloyd as a weird alien.

God it's a fucking treasure along the lines of Big Trouble in Little China.

Well now I'm in a quandary. I want to say Hudson Hawk except I'm not ashamed. You either appreciate its quirkiness or you don't. And if you do you are simply a better, more evolved person than the rabble who doesn't like it.

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 hours ago

hudson hawk gets rewatched here all the time. it is a good movie.

[–] Pronell@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

I saw it in the theater and loved it then. Still do.

I feel personally attacked. It's better than the first film.

Los locos kicn your ass, los locos kick your face, los locos kick your balls into outer spaaaaace!

A great performance by Michael McKean as always.

We just don't talk about Fisher Stevens. Poor guy deeply regrets the role.

Punked out Johnny Five is the best Johnny Five.

The robot Johnny Five from the film Short Circuit 2 has been made to look "punk" and makes a lewd hand gesture while telling someone "Recycle this!"

[–] bizarroland@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

It's such a quotable movie!

No disassemble!

Tu mama haci el amore co mi perro

Johnny's in the tunnel with Oscar...

[–] Angryhumanoid@fedinsfw.app 6 points 3 hours ago

There's no shame here. Punk Johnny 5 zooming in to save the day, sparks flying, I Need a Hero blasting.... Peak cinema.

Frankenhooker.

It's crass and trashy and I fucking love it.

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Should I add this to Zombie Strippers?

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Oh Frankenhooker is far more thoughtful and clever than Zombie Strippers, imho.

The end of the film almost makes it a feminist film when the tables are turned and the main character gets his comeuppance.

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 1 points 1 hour ago

Zombie Strippers is based on a French Existentialist play and is a major critique about a lot going on in the time. It would have been better with its deleted scenes.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

Also Hard Ticket to Hawaii

I don't know any other film that passes the Bechdel test in a scene where two former Playboy models are topless in a hot tub together and talk about something other than men (there are no men in the scene, just the two women). A very unique and strange way to pass the Bechdel test that feels like it undermines the entire point of the Bechdel test existing.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Also Con Air, a star studded wild romp that's so fucking stupid it rounds the bend to brilliant.

Ok so I actually just really love bad movies, that's the thing. I could be on this thread all day.

[–] Zwuzelmaus@feddit.org 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Sin City.

The story is bad in so many ways, but I love this extreme cynism.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 4 minutes ago

It really is a great bad movie

[–] bizarroland@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

None, if I love something, I have no shame about it.

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

You own that part of yourself.

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 hours ago

DCOMs (disney channel movies). i love 'em. especially the musicals.

[–] cerebralhawks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 3 hours ago

Speed Zone. It has John Candy and Eugene Levy in it… and a red Lamborghini skipping across a pond like a skipping stone (and that’s the joke). Dumb as hell but as far as car/race films it’s kind of fine. I mean, how seriously do you need to take a movie about a cross-country race? It was originally going to called Cannonball Run 3 but was dropped from the franchise. I’ve never seen the others.

Not that ashamed, but it’s not a great movie.

[–] akunohana@piefed.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

All the animated Tinker Bell movies by Disney.

[–] Steve@startrek.website 3 points 2 hours ago

We recently watched the old Peter Pan, and I never realized Tinkerbell was a murderous hoe.
