Super Mario Bros (1993) is one of my favorite movies of all time.

It's a bizarre mess of a film, full of counter-culture icons in a weird sci-fi dystopian setting. Despite being objectively awful, there isn't another movie quite like it, and it's a fun watch.

It's a shame that the nightmarish production took such a heavy toll on everyone involved in the project because I'd like to see more screwball adaptations of things

Death to Smoochie (2002) is my #1. It has an insane cast, dark absurd humor, and is honestly beautifully shot and has great pacing. I mean, Robin Williams played a spiraling psychopathic technicolor disgraced childrens' TV show host, opposite a native optimistic idealistic purple rhino played by Ed Norton. 🤌There's children's TV networks, the mob, murder, Nazis, meth, ice shows, soy hotdogs, merchandising, brain damaged boxers, and sing-alongs! The only thing it doesn't have is explicit sex - I guess because that would be too much.

Two movies come to mind:

Alita Battle Angel (2019) might be the best Anime adaptation to date. It has become one of my favorite movies of all time. I guess it wasn't received badly, it has been barely received at all. This should have been a blockbuster, but most people aren't even aware the movie exists! It's such a shame, I really hope we get the follow up movies, because this one was great!

John Carter (2012) wasn't great, I have to admit. I can't argue with it's 6.6 rating on IMDb. It's a flawed movie, but it is so much fun! It's an epic pulp adventure! If you go in expecting just that, turn off your brain and just enjoy the ride, you will have a great time! People were really too hard on it, when it came out!

[-] Prox@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

+1 to both of these!

John Carter was accused of being too derivative, but hilariously its source material (the book A Princess of Mars) was the great-grandaddy of science fantasy as a genre. So JC is derivative of a bunch of movies that got their ideas and inspiration from APoM.

Megalopolis. Flew way over peoples heads, I didn't really feel I fully understood it until the 2nd or 3rd viewing.

[-] AA5B@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

I’m still waiting for the adventure to continue. Remo Williams was a great pilot that should have set up a series or at least some sequels

[-] t_berium@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Both G.I. Joe movies are my guilty pleasure.

[-] Grabthar@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

UHF went up against Batman in the summer of 1989. It made only 6 million at the box office and cost 5 million to make. But that film became a cult classic because it was an absolute banger that everyone slept on.

Jason X is rated pretty bad even for a Friday the 13th film. I think it's just pure fun. It has everything a Friday the 13th film needs and puts it on another level. It's mostly dumb but it doesn't really try to be taken serious.

Solo, It is probably my favorite Star Wars movie honestly

[-] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

Titan A.E. isn't great, but for some reason i enjoyed it.

Ditto Battle: Los Angeles

[-] Hugin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Going postal.

I liked the 2013 Johnny Depp Lone Ranger movie. Apparently nobody else did, though.

[-] Sylence@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

Joker 2 Electric Boogaloo. I thought it was well made, thought provoking, and a good critique of all the chuds who idolised the first film for the wrong reasons.

I liked Terry Cruise that was about it.

If I look at all my favorite movies, it feels like I just love what critics hate.

The worst rated movie (on IMDB) that I love is Steel. I still quote it when I see something unbelievable.

i like all of M Night Shyamalan’s movies prior to The Happening. Signs, The Village, and Lady in the Water are some of my favorite movies.

[-] redhorsejacket@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Would you care to make a case for Lady in the Water? I don't recall a huge amount of that movie, but what's there is not positive. Admittedly, his gall in writing a character who is destined to save the world through his art, and then casting himself in said role, left a pretty sour taste in my mouth, but I shouldn't let that affect the other aspects of the film.

[-] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

yeah i agree there are aspects about LITW that are a bit arrogant (also how the movie critic character died), and the fairy tale backstory is a bit silly. But aside from that I really love the story of Paul Giamatti's character, and he gives a hell of an acting performance. It's worh watching just for him. His interactions with all the characters around the apartment complex are also pretty amusing. Jeffrey Wright, Bob Balaban, Bill Irwin, and more.

[-] scytale@lemmy.zip 0 points 2 weeks ago

Equilibrium. The ratings are better now but it wasn’t well received at the time. Also, The Village.

[-] DampSquid@feddit.uk 1 points 2 weeks ago

Haha, The Village is utterly appalling

[-] trk@aussie.zone -1 points 2 weeks ago

It's cool how everyone is replying with no IMDb or TVDB links. Having to search whatever title is mentioned in a comment and guess at the correct result makes for a truly enjoyable thread.
