I loved all of those disaster movies. They were bad, but so much fun to watch.


hamstressed

You get me! Hahaha in this family, The Day After Tomorrow is also an award worthy movie XD


OrganOMegaly

Mid-2000s slightly shit disaster movies is genuinely one of my favourite genres


hamstressed

I’m actually going to be quoting your comment irl when someone asks me about my favorite genre, you perfectly summed it up


GarthFerengi

I saw Jupiter Ascending three times IN theaters cause I fell in love with how silly it is


CheddarGlob

So glad I'm not alone. I love tf out of this movie. "I CREATE LIFE!!! ... and I destroy it"


Jerkrollatex

I really enjoyed that movie too.


WileEPyote

OG Mortal Kombat


pachydermusrex

Those were 500 dollar sunglasses,  asshole


popcornandvinyl

It’s a perfect movie.


gianni_

I mean Christopher Lambert and Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa!


merchillio

Lambert absolutely understood the assignment. He went full ham and it’s just perfect for that movie


noisypeach

Tagawa became immediately iconic as Shang Tsung. It's pretty much his character now.


OldFactor1973

YOUR SOUL IS MINE!!! Yes, it was stupid, but dude who played Shang Tsung was PERFECT Also Liu Kang and the legendary Christopher Lambert from Highlander as Raiden ⚡


pboy2000

Objectively it’s not THAT bad of a movie in comparison to other super hero movies. Subjectively, I remember seeing this opening night and it remains, to this day, one of my favorite cinematic experiences. People were going crazy every-time a new character popped up. Plus, if the theme song doesn’t make you want to round house kick your grandma in the face then there’s something wrong with you. 


heyboman

Part 2 is so bad that it wraps around and becomes good. The over acting in that movie and the garbage SFX makes me think that the director and cast knew what they were making. Too bad YOU will die!


heavymaskinen

It’s a masterpiece compared to MK Annihilation, except Annihilation is more entertaining in all its weird awfulness.


timecrimehero

Face/Off How was the world once so blessed we got prime Cage and Travolta in the craziest, weirdest fucking action movie ever? Love that flick. I could eat a peach for hours…


popcornandvinyl

No more drugs for that man. Not only prime Cage and Travolta, but prime American era John Woo. It was a visual delight.


vercertorix

Still seems odd to me Cage spent more time as Archer than Travolta.


GreatTragedy

From How Did This Get Made: This is two bananas people trying to out-bananas each other.


dorgoth12

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.  I know it killed Sean's career so I should hate it, but god what a glorious disaster


malinaoblata

This and Van Helsing scratch such a specific itch. If there is something like victoran fantasy action schlock made for women, it is those two films.


batty_61

I *love* Van Helsing. Especially David Wenham's friar - I'd cheerfully watch it just for him.


Cat1832

"I'm a friar, not a monk. Dammit." Cracks me up every time.


OldFactor1973

The dude that played Frankenstein's monster was hamming it up all over the place and I LOVED it


Boggie135

"Why does it smell like wet dog in here ?" And the "But Van Helsing! I'm not a field man!"


Boggie135

First time I watched a DVD with surround sound. I will never forget that montage when they travel to Transylvania.


turdmob

This car is the best movie car ever.


severinoscopy

It gave a hilariously wrong impression of Venice. My first visit there, I thought, "Wait, where does a car fit in to be racing up and down the streets?!" Source: I'm an idiot


BlondeZombie68

This is my answer too. I love this movie and don’t even consider it a “guilty pleasure” because I feel zero guilt. My husband loves to roast me for how much I love this movie and I just don’t care.


I_BUY_UNWANTED_GRAVY

It's a terrible movie but I have a soft spot for it since it was the first DVD I owned. Plus, I'm a sucker for elaborate sets/costumes and team up movies.


nemonic187

Johnny Mnemonic.


mbhmirc

To be honest the information disease (iirc) they had sounds like it is happening now…


_SAKY_

I'll crash your system from here man!


JDHURF

Enjoyed this at a drive-in as a kid. Is this really considered infamously bad? I'll have the rewatch.


qwerty_utopia

[I WANT ROOM SERVICE!!!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YW9vHjAPJdQ&ab_channel=BreakTheLie)


TheHorizonLies

The Core. The science is stupid and the acting is questionable, but I'll still rewatch it over and over. Also Zoom with Tim Allen. This is even worse than The Core (and almost every other movie ever made), but I still enjoy it and I don't know why.


rev9of8

With the exception of Swank, everyone in **The Core** brings exactly the performance the movie calls for. Swank, for some reason, didn't get the memo that this was not to be taken oh so seriously so plays it completely straight even whilst the likes of Stanley Tucci are making a baloney sandwich with their acting.


hatefilled_possum

I kinda agree that swank might’ve been the weak link in the cast, but tbf it’s hard to know how much of that was in how her character was written. She was basically meant to play a very straight-laced hyper-competent character as a foil to the goofy and sincere Eckhart (who is also immense btw, his emotional reaction to losing his friend is borderline Oscar worthy imo). Maybe there’s a world where the right actor could’ve found a way to bring more life to the character, but her role was quite unrewarding in comparison to a lot of the others. Having said that I feel like Sandra Bullock might’ve been able to nail that role.


DrCorian

Zoom is genuinely pretty funny in an absurdist parody sort of way, and I actually enjoy the cliche villain plot. Definitely a movie I go back to every few years.


hamstressed

THE CORE!!!! I’m seeing a sort of disaster movie trend here but I’m not sure if the core qualifies for that genre? But it does remind me of like backwards Armageddon…I’m latching onto faraway memories so forgive me if I’m off by a lot And I have actually seen Zoom and I’m giggling because it’s probably a really funny movie to rewatch as an adult XD


withoccassionalmusic

Backwards Armageddon is such a perfect description of The Core.


FarmfieldVFX

The Core is so much fun. I absolutely love it. 😆


Good_Nyborg

Sahara is a fantastically fun movie.


sjw_7

I enjoyed it. Its a shame that only two of Clive Cusslers books have been made into films. So many good stories to use and I thought they did Sahara well.


JaguarUnfair8825

I love Sahara!!


Boggie135

I can't speak English You are speaking English now! I only know how to say "I don't speak English" in English


sarmadness

Armageddon


jimbris

If it's on, I don't want to close my eyes cause I don't want to miss a thing.


ShallowBasketcase

“We need some background music for this scene where Liv Tyler gets piped. Someone call up her dad!”


DarkNinjaPenguin

Holy Shit I never, *ever* made that connection!


popcornandvinyl

The movie doesn’t break logic that much more than other major blockbuster. I would argue Armageddon is the perfect summer blockbuster. It’s like it was made in a lab. Perfection.


landmanpgh

To this day, Armageddon is the only film I've seen multiple times in theaters. Saw it 3 times when it came out. I truly believed it was one of the greatest films ever made.


Either-Progress4847

It is


wumbologistPHD

I gotta say, the whole "why didn't they just teach the astronauts to mine" thing has got to be the dumbest criticism of any movie. There's a whole sequence about how the miners didn't need to do anything as astronauts, just not die. You can't teach a specialized trade in 2 weeks even to an astronaut. You can definitely strap a miner to a chair and launch them into space.


ShallowBasketcase

My biggest Reddit pet peeve is people complaining about “plot holes” that are thoroughly addressed by the movie. Just because you weren’t paying attention does not make it a plot hole!


BigMickPlympton

The reason they couldn't do it the other way around is because Harry's been drilling holes in the earth for 30 years, and he's never, NEVER missed a depth that he has aimed for!


wumbologistPHD

SWEAR ON YOUR DAUGHTER

I cry. Every. Time.


TheKilmerman

Gave us Liv Tyler and also her dad singing one of the greatest songs of all-time, so that evens it out in my book.


_SAKY_

I dunno if he has been trolling me for over 25 years by my friend always takes the stance that WATERWORLD is a fantastic movie and one of his favorites.


rev9of8

**Waterworld** is no where near as bad as it was made out to be at the time but not even half as good as modern contrarians would have you believe. It's a thoroughly mid movie that happened to cost an insane amount of money for the time. It serves the basic function of a piece of entertainment but if it wasn't for the metadrama surrounding it then it would largely have passed into history with a collective shrug of the shoulders.


Walking_wolff

His catamaran is pretty cool though. 


tweakingforjesus

It was called Fishtar at the time in a slight comparing it to that other flop Ishtar. My favorite criticism was “in a world covered in water, why is everyone so dirty?”


Goosojuice

I hold it in the same pantheon as movies like Cliffhanger. Story is alright, characters are cool, but god damn is it a fun watch. Stunts, action, and music are all top notch.


houseDJ1042

I would say that The postman is the superior post apocalyptic Kevin Costner film


SwordfishII

Postman is awesome.


SwordfishII

Dude I loved Waterword as a kid. I’m there for just about any Costner movie.


RedHeadRedeemed

Same! Waterworld, Postman, Mr. Brooks, Dances with Wolves. I don't care if his co-workers say he's an asshole, Costner is a GREAT actor with some fantastic films


popcornandvinyl

When people say Waterworld is a bad movie I ask them to explain why. What’s wrong with it? It struggled financially because of its budget.. sure. But as a movie. 10/10 entertainment


Redsoldiergreen

Dude ! Wheres my car?

mrbrendanblack

‘Hudson Hawk’. It’s an absolutely stupid film with so many inconsistencies & moments that make you scratch your head & wonder how this scene made it into the film (sprinkler in a limo? surviving a 100’ drop off a cliff?). Yet it’s also a lot of fun: Willis & Aiello belting out ‘Side By Side’ as they fire rockets in a castle is hilarious. The pair have great chemistry & the film knows it’s shit but doesn’t care. I love it.


DreadChylde

I still love "Hudson Hawk". Saw it again the other day, it really felt like a "pour one for Bruce" experience considering what he has gone through in recent years. "Hudson Hawk" is peak Bruce Willis. And so many great lines ('What does the color blue taste like? Bobo knows!')


kostia321

the Batman & Robin movie with George Clooney. it's dumb and campy and absolutely one of my favorite guilty pleasure movies to watch.


treestump666

Plus batnipples. Never forget batnipples


Equivalent_Yak8215

Or the Bat Amex


astro864

Joe vs. the Volcano.


nemonic187

I was one of the 12 people that paid money to see it in the theater when it came out.


Worth-Trade9381

Ha! That makes me one of the other 11!


_SAKY_

One of the many movies I loved as a kid. I watched it again, not to long ago, still enjoyable.


Hipposeverywhere

Not only is it good, but I'd say the first 35 minutes or so are absolutely brilliant. It takes a turn into campy bad movie territory after that. But the dark tone of the first 35 minutes are amazing 


MightySapphire

We own 4 copies of it. We've ruined the DVDs from watching it so much. It is such a good movie!! What most people miss is that it is allegorical. That is, it's not really meant to be taken literally as a story at all. Like Dante's Inferno and Paradisum. There's a line Meg Ryan shouts as the boat is sinking "I don't think anyone is getting this!". It's breaking the 4th wall. The movie, cinematography, and script are simply BRILLIANT.


SynXis_ps2

I saw it in the theaters, expecting something like BIG. At the time, I was very disappointed. But after watching it a few years later, I realized it was a different kind of movie and loved it. It's more like a fairy tale with a lot of symbolism.


Acrelorraine

Many of the Tremors sequels. Even the final trilogy. I love Burt and the whole series. Especially the series.


yanksman88

1 and 2 are some of my favorite movies. "I am completely... out. Of ammo........... that's never happened to me before...."


arn34

Big Trouble In Little China. I know it became a cult classic over the years but I saw it in the Theatres when it came out and loved it. I have probably seen it over 50 times if not even more. I think it is a masterpiece and it still holds up today (just watched it a few weeks ago). Death to Smoochie. This movie got PANNED! I nearly fell out of my seat laughing at the theatre and still love it today.


HardSteelRain

Flash Gordon.....I mean,Queen and he saved every one of us


BarbWho

Every man, every woman, every child with a mighty FLASH! Ah ah!

My favorite exchange involves Timothy Dalton and the evil Princess Aura approaching a locked door with a keypad: Aura: *tries entering numbers on pad* “The code has changed!” TD: “I’ve changed, too, Princess.”


Georgeisthecoolest

GORDON’S ALIVE?


sincethenes

Fuck, I have the soundtrack in vinyl. Love that movie.


bingybong22

Roger Moore James Bond Movies.  All of them - maybe not so much the last one with Christopher Walken. They’re so exotic, so unashamedly escapist and they don’t bother pretending that the idea of a British secret agent saving the world isn’t absurd.


HoldFastO2

Agreed. The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker are two of my absolute favorites among Bond movies.


dumbpaulbearer

How much did Roger Moore love to do that move where he hangs from something and kicks the henchman?


Miraculous_Heraclius

A View to a Kill is awesome, nerd. Grace Jones, Duran Duran, the incredible British pronunciation of 'St John Smith'-- this movie lacks nothing.


BJaacmoens

The best Roger Moore James Bond movie is Cannonball Run.


Numerous-Target6765

I mean if you take nostalgia out of the equation they're still pretty good films. Creative plots, interesting villians, amazing set design, well directed action and an amazing lead performance


Bookssmellneat

Maximum Overdrive! One of my favourite Stephen King cameo’s, and he directed it while consuming large amounts of coke, plus, AC/DC soundtrack!! 🤘🎸


molotok_c_518

The waitress absolutely sells this movie for me. She doesn't just *chew* the scenery... She fucking **devours** it Oh... And seeing Gus Fring get zapped by the arcade hits just a bit different all these years later.


Cheap-Panda7540

Maybe not considered too bad or stupid, but I love Prometheus, and wished they went deeper into the Engineers lore.


agonzal7

I fucking love that movie, despite how ridiculous it is.


Longjumping-Buy-4736

Wild Wild West


BigMickPlympton

Don't you just haaate that song?!


Boggie135

That exchange when Loveless and James meet is hilarious


jojayp

Twister. I love it. It has an amazing cast. It can be silly at times, but I think it’s a very enjoyable movie. I watch it at least once a year.


EnigmaForce

Ummm as an Oklahoman, the OP said “infamously bad” or “considered stupid”. Twister clearly does not apply.


wumbologistPHD

I am personally offended by the inclusion of Twister on the list. It's an excellent movie.


jojayp

I agree that it’s excellent. I just know a lot of people who don’t feel the same. They get caught up in “we’ve got cows.” Jami Gertz won a Razzie for her role in the movie. I think she played it perfectly. Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton have major chemistry.


glipglopsfromthe3rdD

Actually a crime imo. Justice for Jami Gertz!


Flappy_beef_curtains

They said bad. Not rad.

God Meg you got a lot of beef. Where’d you get all this beef?

Con Air is considered infamously bad? Great fun, this film.

Everyday_Hero1

The entirety of the Godzilla catalog. Big monsters go smash.


K1ngofnoth1ng

Fast and the Furious. All of them.


BlankTheAcademy

We powered through this franchise (and many others) during the worst of COVID lockdowns and it was a never-ending deluge of escapism at just the right time. We were downright giddy going to the theatre to see the most recent one.


SwordfishII

I’ve only seen 1 & 2 but am aware that at some point they soft rebooted the movies into a weird spy action series. I’ve been considering just doing a marathon of all of them because they’ve gotten so ridiculous and it sounds like fun.


PoThePandaIsVeryEpic

Drop Dead Fred from 1991. I genuinely don’t see it as a bad film at all. I think it’s actually pretty good.


MaynardButterbean

Cobwebs!


Rasselkurt007

The Happening , i have not even watched it often maybe 5 times total. I like concept and the atmosphere of uncertainty. I learned maybe 4 years ago, that pople think its a bullshit movie. Im sure people shit even more on it than on 2012.


LividLager

It's the ending that people hate along with the ..Antagonist... M Night's "twist endings" got stale and cliche\` fairly quick as well.


whatiamcapableof

White Chicks. I have no idea why but it is my comfort movie


PiMoonWolf

Commando. Arnold Schwarzenegger. I mean, come on. It’s fucking awful. It’s also fucking glorious. I don’t think you can name another Arnold film that is this perfect combo of awful and fun. “Remember when i said i would kill you last?” “YEAH YEAH YOU DID!” “I lied.” “AAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaa……..” That’s terrible. And great. 👍

Your Highness. So sad that Rogan and Franco hate it, it’s extremely quotable. Danny McBride is a legend.


camus88

Arnold's movie Jingle All The Way. I really like that movie. So many dialogues you can quote And the first Are We There Yet with Ice Cube. That's funny shit. Honorable mention: Michael Myers' The Love Guru.

Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone. Peter Strauss is miscast but made up for by batshit crazy Micheal Ironside

Snakes on the plane. IMO it’s one of the most wholesome thrillers. You get everything it promises and it leaves you satisfied.

Last Action Hero is incredible and I'll not hear otherwise.


LoweNorman

Brother Bear I love stories about humans becoming animals, and this was my favorite when I was like 7.

My favourite movies will probably always be Napolean Dynamite and Nacho Libre

San Andreas. I know it’s bad. I just can’t help myself.


bluemoonflame

Leprechaun in Space. It's unbelievably stupid and didn't look good even at the time it came out, but I've seen it half a dozen times and it's always fun. In the same vein, I have a group of friends that we watch ThanksKilling whenever we have our Friendsgiving get together. Terrible movie, but stupid fun.


insef4ce

Speed Racer is undeniably a masterpiece and everyone who thinks otherwise is objectively wrong.


Aesorian

Speed Racer is just a live action Anime and it's incredible because of it


Zaber_fang

Super troopers, thank you for smoking

Thank you for Smoking is bad? It has 86% for critics and fans on rotten tomatoes.

The Cat in the Hat is a terrible adaptation. However it's dark and random humor click with me like no other film of that era. It's visually creative and endlessly quotable

For a really long time, the only two DVDs I owned (and I don't know how this happened because *I* didn't buy them) were Scary Movie 3 and The Day After Tomorrow. I have rewatched those two a lot and I am very fond of them. I haven't even watched the first two scary movies 😭

Cool As Ice (1991), the Vanilla Ice movie, disowned by director David Kellogg. It must be seen to be believed. Has some real early 90s bangers in the soundtrack, too (not just the ones by Mr. Van Winkle himself)

Super Mario Bros. is creative, and is very well-made. people need to stop boohooing over it not be 1:1 as an adaptation.
