your favourite "crap" movies

I actually forgot he was in that, i've never seen it.

It's a masterpiece really, but to appreciate it you have to approach it without a bias against religion/Christianity.

 

[HunterSdVa29]

ninja 2: shadow of a tear, is no shit one of the best action movies I've ever seen

JCVD movie In Hell is much better than the 6.2 it has on IMDB, it's probably his best post prime starring action role

 

[AcesHigh]

11% on Rotten Tomatoes, but I never laughed so hard at a movie.

Also really enjoyed this one for some reason as well.

Cabin boy and attack of the killer tomatoes

 

[Pwent]

i have a lot, i call them "fuck you, i like it movies"

3 that spring to mind

John Carter
Speed Racer
Scott Pilgrim

john carter was fun, even if it was dumb

i dont know why people dont like speed racer and scott pilgrim, the film making style and directing were awesome for both movies.

scott pilgrim has the most orgasmic edits and cuts between scenes that i have seen in a long time

speed racer was so vivid and beautiful, it was the best Anime->live action i've seen where it still looks like anime

edit: tried to find an example of scott pilgrims editing, and found this video, which has too much filler but some cool explanations of their editing

 

[Heikki Mustola]

Van Helsing got pretty negative reviews if I remember correctly. I liked the movie though.

 

[Zer]

One of my favourite ever comedy flicks

 

[JBSchroeds]

Robot Jox. 5.3/10 on IMDb but it's so much better than that if you are able to accept that it is a total b-movie.

Kung Pow is rated that low? Wtf? I was a kid when i first watched that and the "you go that way I'll go home" line had me in tears for like half an hour.

I'm finding out films i really like are apparently crap in this thread. Scott Pilgrim was such a fun film with so many quotable lines.

@AgentSmecker, you really did pick some doozies.

From your list, I've seen Doom, Ghost Rider and The Warrior's Way. Doom I remember thinking was just not good, plain and simple. Ghost Rider--I remember seeing that one in a theater in Jackson Hole, WY, and thinking it was okay. It's not a film that I've had any desire to revisit, but I also didn't think it was nearly as bad many people made it out to be. And as for The Warrior's Way, it had some interesting ideas and I appreciate the uniqueness of it, but I also ultimately just find it kind of dull.

I'll add this one into the discussion, which I was just discussing the other day in another thread - Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters.

6.1/10·IMDb
15%·Rotten Tomatoes
1/4·USA Today
21%·Metacritic

It's a fun, surprisingly R-rated film that puts a unique spin on the Hansel and Gretel story. I never did understand where all the vitriol came from, with nearly every critic giving it a low score. I do agree with the guy who said this though:

Made in Germany, this raucous adventure merrily refuses to follow the usual Hollywood route of blanding-down a fairy tale for the lowest common denominator (see both Snow White movies last year).

Hey one man's doozy is another man's Godfather. Let's keep this judgement free

I have never felt compelled to watch Hansel & Gretel or Gods of Egypt that you spoke of in the thread you made about it. I have a large list of movies that I actually do want to watch but never seem to get around to it so if I see any of the aforementioned it will probably be by chance. Some movies are best watched that way tbh. Sitting down and forcing myself to watch movies is a slog and sometimes its nice to be taken by surprise by a movie when flicking through tv chanels. Much lower expectations that way.

 

[The Big Sloppy]

Heck, I like Fraternity Vacation, but it's only listed on Rotten Tomatoes as
"VACACIÓN FRATERNAL"

Starring Leigh McCloskey, Tim Robbins, Amanda Bearse, Barbara Crampton
it has no critic rating and only 34% audience rating. 4.9 on IMDB

How's that for a crap film?

I also enjoy:

Cool as Ice (8%/2.8) IMDB
Assault of the Killer Bimbos (17%/4.6)
The Pink Chiquitas (4.4 IMDB)
Hardbodies (4.8 IMDB/33% user rating)

Yeah I'm not in the least bit religious but I agree it's a damn fine movie. Say what you like about Mel Gibson but there is no denying that the man knows how to direct a movie.

they came together

stupid type humor, many hated

[Fraz]

Enjoyed this as well.

I'm just going to bomb this thread with some of my favorite, lowly-regarded B-movies

Are you the guy behind the goodbadflicks youtube channel? lol

 

[Tanaka]

I genuinely like the 1994 Street Fighter movie. 3.8 on IMDB is criminal.
