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).

      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.

    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.

    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

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

    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.

    Down Periscope

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

    An absolute GEM of is Dead Alive from Peter Jackson. Just incredibly bonkers and the goriest movie ever made (lawnmowers ftw). Highly recommend it for 80s campy fun.

    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

    Moonfall. So where to start…

    It was a big budget action flick, with sci-fi mixed in. Now don’t get me wrong, I can suspend my disbelief just fine - you want to tell me that a zombie can rip a mountain in two, so be it. But the scientist in me just couldn’t get past a couple things. It’s an absolute blast of a movie, with great visuals. Mild spoilers below.

    They successfully hide from gravity behind a concrete barrier. A space shuttle launches from the ground through a tsunami (literally in the water). Just absolutely bonkers. But so, so fun.
