I get hella stoned and watch Foodfight! at least once a year. It’s my “favorite” movie.

Everything about it, from the implied beastiality between Charlie Sheen and Hillary Duff, to the weird gay bat, to the shitweasel is a masterclass in what not to do in a movie. It transcends badness and becomes something sublime. The entire plot is about how store brands/generics are Nazis, and one of the Nazis absolutely chews the scenery in a way that makes Brian Blessed look reserved.

By all accounts The Boondock Saints is a "bad" movie but we all watched it when we were 12 and thought it was fucking awesome and still do.

    Equilibrium (2002) wasn’t well received when it came out. I think it’s still “bad” on RT but imdb has it at 7.3 now. I don’t care if gun-kata is silly and dumb, it looks cool as fuck.

    This was one of my favorites as a kid. It was heavily influenced by The Matrix obviously

    In the DVD commentary, the writer/director talked about how he'd had the basic idea, including gun kata, since high school. He could have been lying but I think he was honest and this was sort of a case of independent parallel ideas, since somebody turbo nerdy enough to come up with gun kata probably had influence from Hong Kong action movies that similarly influenced The Matrix.

    The action style and flow is much different than The Matrix, and while both plots are about fighting the system, Equilibrium is much more straight forwardly grabbing elements from classic dystopias.

    The dog scene absolutely broke me. Probably the hardest I cried at a movie when I saw it for the first time.

    Have you watched Grave of the Fireflies? I cried for hours afterwards. One of the best movies I've seen. Refuse to watch it again.

    Velocipastor is an amazing bad movie that intended to be bad. There's even a scene where a car explodes and it's just some text that says "VFX of car exploding"

    It's about a pastor that can turn into a velociraptor... When there's gore it's like obviously fake, like a head rolls off and it's clear as day that it's a mannequin head. It's so bad it's amazing.

    Oh yeah, and there are ninjas.

    Kung pow enter the fist. Steve oedekerk, not Bob, intentionally made a bad movie by over dubbing rewriting bad 70s martial arts films. It's absurd and stupid. I love it.

    They just released a remastered Blu-ray of it! I bought the disc, but I didn't actually have a Blu-ray player, so idk if they did a good job with the remaster yet.

    It's fantastic. They didn't bother to make it "relatable" or "more realistic", just "we're literally doing, shot for shot, the anime as a movie, and fuck you if you don't like it". It's shameless, joyful fun the entire way, and honestly more movies should embrace the camp and just run with it.

    Super Mario Bros. 1993. It is by far the movie that puts the biggest "fun" smile on my face, especially when watching it stoned. It's so goofy in the best way and comes across as funny in a way that makes me have fun with it every time.

    the amount of slime in that movie makes it impossible for me to watch stoned. Like, if I got that slimey, while stoned, I would be freaking the fuck out. Great movie though. I still love John Luigi-zamo

    See I never got that either. There is some kind of story about escapism and dealing with trauma in there, but it's definitely second fiddle to the fact that you get to see badass ladies with samurai swords running a bunny mech through ww1 trenches and fighting giant samurai with a gatling gun. Sure it's dumb, but so is Fast and Furious

    the extended cut is a genuinely compelling narrative on top of the impressive variety of aesthetics & action sequences. folks are welcome to find it cringey and overdone but that's a matter of taste. it's a little too porny for me as a grown ass man but i thought it was great fun as a teen, go figure.

    the pg-13 theatrical cut was hot dog water that left the emotional climax of the film on the cutting room floor.

    Bubba Ho-Tep. Bruce Campbell is a still-alive Elvis forgotten in a nursing home. He’s got to fight a mummy that’s sucking the souls out of old people’s assholes. Also Black JFK assists. It really shouldn’t work, but it somehow manages to.

    Raw Force (1982)

    Martial arts students visit an island with ghosts of dishonored fighters. They encounter a Hitler lookalike running a female slavery operation, leading to encounters with cannibals, piranhas, zombies, and chaos.

    Absolutely stupid low budget insanity.

    That's what introduced me to it. I immediately had to track it down and watch the entire thing.

    I've discovered a number of my favourite B movies through those guys.

    I also think that Bigfoot vs DB Cooper could be an amazing film if done properly, but its a shame the title has been ruined.

    It's a tie between: The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzai Across the 8th Dimension

    See John Lithgow chew the scenery as the villain, plus Jamaicans are the good guy aliens. Classic bad movie, but fun to watch.

    and

    Remo Williams

    It's terrible, it's racist and sexist in a 1980s way. But it has Kate Mulgrew and she's awesome in it.
