wild wild west is a fucking gem and deserves to be expanded upon
10,000 BC.
It got thst award for worst movie of the year. I get that its in no way historical accurate. And even in it's own world maybe it doesn't make sense thst the tribes never have met. But dang its just a fun action movie.
some films i rated 4+ stars on letterboxd in order of their imdb rating:
Attack of the Adult Babies (4.2)
Antibirth (4.9)
The Feast (5.6)
The Greasy Strangler (5.7)
68 Kill (6.0)
Blood Punch (6.2)
that was fun to find out. all great films tbh
Jason X is hilarious and I refuse to believe otherwise. Iirc it was like a 4.5.
"It's okay guys he just wanted his machete back!"
My husband vehemently disagrees but he is wrong. The scene where he froze someone then smashed the ice actually got applauded for its accuracy so there!
Death Sentence is awesome and doesn't deserve it's 20% rotten tomatoes score
Kung pow enter the fist.
We trained him wrong on purpose as a joke
Again with the squeaky shoes.
Hackers (1995), admittedly it has a fairly respectable 6.2 on IMDB, but only 33% on the tomatometer.
More honorable mentions:
- Kingdom of heaven (2005) - 40% tomatometer
- see no evil hear no evil (1989) - 29% tomatometer
Wilder/Pryor ftw
Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny It has a 53% on RT which isn't terrible but it bombed at the box office which it absolutely didn't deserve
I loved The Pick of Destiny. Its ridiculous and I love it
Mystery Men.
Somebody once told me the world was going to roll me.
Hudson Hawk gets a 5.7, which I think is criminal.
That was a fun movie with some of the most over the top bad guys ever.
Bunny, Ball Ball!
So happy to see this, one of my favorite movies.
It's so damn great!
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. 16% on Rotten Tomatoes.

I’m surprised no one has rebooted this property as a streaming series.
It is rare that studios reboot a failed property.
Probably "The Core" (2003). I saw it in science class in 8th grade and immediately thought it was the coolest movie ever. Years later, I saw people online ripping it to shreds over its inaccuracies, but I still enjoyed it for being a fun disaster film with an enjoyable ensemble cast of characters.
Is that the one with the nerdy kid that's like "I'm gonna need hot pockets" or whatever?
I am a scientist and it's also my favorite movie I hate.
Yep, lol. "Hack the planet!"
The Room. For me it’s the definitive “so bad it’s good” movie.
YOU'RE TEARIN ME APHART LISA!
oh, hi mark
I did naht hit her. I did naht!
Joe Dirt
In high school is was one of our go to. I think I watched it almost monthly for a few years
The 13th Warrior
Came here to say this.
It predates LOTR just by 2 years yet I couldn’t help myself thinking how much Peter Jackson drew inspiration from it. Very similar shots, very similar visuals, very similar soundtrack, but ABYSMAL storytelling really ruins everything.
Beat me to it. 6.6 IMDB, 33% RT. It stars Antonio Banderas as an Arab, but goddamnit I love this flick.
Maybe not really love love but quite enjoyed:
- Postal 4.5/10
The whole movie is bad and offensive, just like the games it is based on. And that makes it a nice fun adventure. It does really help if you've played the games though. I would give it a 6/10.
White Chicks
Edit: To elaborate I just love how it is equally offensive to every gender and race. They pack so much into the runtime; like the beginning where they are dressed like Cubans on a stakeout for seemingly no reason.
The Waterboy
Velocipastor and Kung Pow: Enter the Fist!
Exorcist II - The Heretic (1977).
I love the atmospheric, almost psychedelic vibe of this film. The scenery and settings are stunning, Blair is blooming and the story is very interesting. It's certainly not perfect, but there is a lot to enjoy in there.
There have been a few versions released, so each might influence perception differently. I hope to see them all, eventually.
The sharknados, and perhaps half of Hollywood comedies.
Mom and Dad Save the World is at 5.4/10 - probably not actually the worst I love, but I correctly guessed it would be lower than it deserves (as absurd comedies tend to be) and it's the first one that came to mind.
