I’ll start: “Happy Death Day”
Bunraku is one of those movies that has a stellar cast, but no one’s ever heard of it. It’s a revenge movie but it’s over-the-top cheesy and edgy, but in all the good ways. Seriously give it a chance. It’s not a good movie, but it is a fun one.
Con Air
It is absolutely not well written but I just love how the film and all the actors are completely aware of how dumb the entire thing is.
Oh, and casting Chief Engineer Miles O’Brien as the jerk that everyone hates is the icing on this guilty-pleasure cake.
The In-Laws (2003)
Right before his daughter’s wedding, a man finds out his future son-in-law’s dad is a spy.
The Cell (2000)
A detective has to enter the mind of a serial killer and search his dreams for the location of his latest victim before time runs out.
Skulls (2000)
At an ivy league school, a law student joins a secret fraternity known only as “The Skulls.”
Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle (2004)
Two stoners get the munchies for White Castle cheeseburger sliders.
Swiss Army Man (2016)
I’m not even going to try and explain this.
Old School (2003)
A group of men wanting to relive their college days start a fraternity at a nearby school.
I’ve not seen it since it came out but Crank (2006) is a terrible, dumb action comedy that has no right being that entertaining. It’s sequel Crank High Voltage is less good but also still enjoyable. I should rewatch them see if that’s rose tinted glasses or not!
Ghosts of Mars by John Carpenter
Set on a colonized Mars in the 22nd century, the film follows a squad of police officers and a convicted criminal who fight against the residents of a mining colony who have been possessed by the ghosts of the planet’s original inhabitants.
Ghosts of Mars received mostly negative reviews and was a box office bomb, earning $14 million against a $28 million production budget.
Ghosts of Mars has received a cult following since its release, with critics praising the action sequences, soundtrack and blending of genres.
Pandorum. At a glance it like like just another bad sci-fi, but it’s really good horror sci-fi mind fuckery with a fantastic twist. Dennis Quaid is great in it.
Event Horizon… terror in space? Worse the Alien? can’t be.
but it is haunting and PTSD inducing, very well made
Disney’s “The Black Hole”. It came from a time just after Walt Disney had died and they were still figuring out their shit.
So they made an extremely dark SciFi flick with a cute robot that appeals to children which is such a weird combination, but I liked it a lot. I can’t even say why.
The U.S.S. Cygnus looks fucking badass, too. One of the best ship designs in a SciFi movie, change my mind.
A space-ship that’s 60% glass, 20% stiffener bars snd 10% normal space-ship stuff.
Oh yeah that thing is a classic.
…hot tub time machine; absurdly better film than its pitch had any right to be…
I figured out why that movie is so good because it bothered me for a while.
The casting is absolutely perfect. Its not terribly special in any other way, but they nailed the cast. Even dumb lines like “cox n dix” work.
Hamlet 2
A delightful comedy about a bumbling highschool drama teacher writing and directing his magnum opus. It’s hilarious, heartfelt, and subversive. The cast is excellent.
Free Guy
Generic video game movie stuffed with trendy references and fanservice is actually a really good singularity story
Keanu Reeves holds two places on my list; Bill & Teds Excellent Adventure and Johnny Mnemonic.
Somebody must do a Trakt or (Mdblsit) of the titles mentioned here, I am honestly interested in catching up with this backlog lol.
I’ll start: “Happy Death Day”
Wait, I didn’t know Re:Zero had a live action!
I mentioned this one on another post. It’s good enough I’m gonna throw it out there again. Kung Fu Mahjongg. All 3. …and Kung Fu Hustle
Edit to add, thier whole troop is amazing. Silly stories made amazingly entertaining, due to the charismatic cast and, creative and well executed choreography.
Kung Fu Hustle was amazing. Watched it randomly and still think it’s the best Kung Fu movie I’ve ever seen.
