I’ll start: “Happy Death Day”
Black Bullet?
Army of thieves.
Prequel to army of the dead, actually an amazingly enjoyable film superior in every way to its stupid predecessor
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.
I loved this movie when I was younger but it’s been a while… I’m sorry, WHAT?! O’Brien?! oh I need to see this one again
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.
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.
They were trying for their Star Wars.
A space-ship that’s 60% glass, 20% stiffener bars and 20% normal space-ship stuff,
Oh yeah that thing is a classic.
Free Guy
Generic video game movie stuffed with trendy references and fanservice is actually a really good singularity story
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.
Everything by Carpenter, really.
Event Horizon… terror in space? Worse the Alien? can’t be.
but it is haunting and PTSD inducing, very well made
Uwe Boll’s Rampage. He gets slated but that movie is great.
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.
Yes! Unexpectedly good movie!
Kripendorf’s Tribe. That thing is pure gold.
…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.
Tucker and Dave vs. Evil. Looks like another dumb Netflix original, but it was one of the best horror/comedies I’ve seen.
Speaking of the genre, big nods to another one - Little Evil.
It Follows - just read the premise of the film and tell me it doesn’t sound dumb… Then go watch it
Oh and Colossal!!! Ann Hathaway stars in this bizarre and very deep movie about a giant monster that can be controlled from a playground. Amazing movie. Trust me
It Follows… Amazing
Tucker and Dale vs. Evil! Amazing movie! I put it on one day just so I could check it off my list of new things out and, figured if I love the Evil Dead series (and also, as someone else mentioned in the thread, the Re-Animator) how awful could this be… it wasn’t. It was fantastic.
Enjoyed Little Evil too. So, I’m putting Colossal on my list right now!
I think Colossal will surprise you. It’s not exactly a horror comedy, but a very serious film wrapped in a ridiculous story
Similar vein: Slaxx. I’m not sure how vampire pants fits into things but boy does it start a conversation about using cheap labor for profit and the cost of life for that profit.
Colossal was weird, but i liked it. I could see where people would be thinking, what is this and why am I watching it, but it felt like real life to me. For a movie about monster avatars unwittingly being controlled from half a world away, anyway.
Somebody must do a Trakt or (Mdblsit) of the titles mentioned here, I am honestly interested in catching up with this backlog lol.
