One I love and haven't seen mentioned is Equalibrium, I've probably seen it 5 times, which is a lot of times for me. I see its ham fisted metaphors and raise you gun karate.
It's great fun mixed with dystopia. I'd take that over yet another romcom / teen makeover movie any day of the week.
Equilibrium is not a shitty movie, right? It‘s simple and straightforward, but in a good sense. Bale really aced the role for what it was!
I watched that recently after seeing it recommended here (maybe you did!) and enjoyed it.
Hackers
Office Space.
This is a top comedy movie and doesn't belong here but I'm up voting anyway. It's genius.
Grandma's Boy. If you're a gamer, its a must watch.
Super Mario Bros. No, not the new CGI one, the old live action one. I know I’m not alone in loving this movie, but man is it divisive— those that don’t like it, HATE it, and I think that’s the majority opinion.
I unironically love this movie. It’s not just nostalgia either, though I did watch it as a kid. I also watched the old Zelda cartoon as a kid when it first came out, and I loved it then but I can’t stand it now. No, I’ve watched this movie recently and it still rocks. It’s perfect for what it is, I think.
Just Troma in general
Eurotrip ..."Scotty doesn't know.."
Hoodwinked!
8 Heads in a Duffel Bag.
David spade and Joe Pesci. Amazing.
Beyond the black rainbow
Cypher - 2002
Industrial spy movie that has some strange twists. I just loved the whole feel and atmosphere around the movie.
I’m just going to drop selections from the Troma catalog in here:
These are objectively shitty movies. Most of these movies are irredeemable; hell, some of them are down right an exercise in poor taste. A lot of it hasn’t aged well, and I’m not talking about the cinematography. I haven’t kept up with Troma in the 21st century, though, so maybe Troma has gotten worse-better or better-worse?
However, I find joy in these movies because they are like a time warp back to New Jersey and New York in the 80s and 90s. They were so low budget and always filmed around New York (except for Toxic Avenger II which somehow was filmed in Japan), that they used a lot of family members of the cast and crew or random locals as extras. It is obvious that a lot of people on screen probably didn’t know they were being filmed (or if they did, didn’t realize what type of movie they were in). There’s bad hair and makeup (but not from the effects department), and thick accents and regionalisms that have faded. There are mainstreets and skylines that don’t exist anymore, or if they do, are wildly different. It is amazing to catch a glimpse of an era that doesn’t exist anymore. This exists in all old movies, but the low-budget realness hits differently.
Most of these movies are trash, but they’re my trash. Apologies to Mr. Kaufman.
Monty Python and the holy grail
Empire Records.
I make references from that movie all the time and nobody ever gets it. Doesn't stop me.
The Cat From Outer Space
Mystery Men
The Shoveler is my hero.
I shovel well. I shovel very well.
Did you know Angels in the Outfield has a 31% on rottentomatoes? I'm scared to watch it again because I remember it as a perfect movie.
RV with Robin Williams came out at a good age for me, I was like 12 so poop jokes and mean spirited jokes that the movie is full of clicked with me.
The Adventures Of Baron Munchausen. Peak Gilliam, and always a joy to watch. Wish I could find a higher resolution version.
Nacho Libre. Everything about that movie makes me giggle.
