Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Chocolate. Taiwanese movie about an autistic girl who goes around beating up gangsters in the styles of famous martial artists she saw on TV, followed by her repeatedly demanding they give her an unspecified amount of money.
I’m just going to drop selections from the Troma catalog in here:
- The Toxic Avenger
- Surf Nazis Must Die
- Class of Nuke ‘em High
- Sgt. Kabukiman NYPD
- Tromeo and Juliet
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.
Can I say a film franchise? If so then The Fast and The Furious movies.
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.
Superman 3 beats almost ANY action movie out there. It literally has everything you could want in a movie... it doesn't take itself too seriously so it's funny as hell, has actual character development unlike anything we've seen before or since in an superhero movie, cool but believable fight scenes, morally grey characters, and RICHARD PRYOR.
DarkStar
So stupid, but if I see it pop up on any of the streaming sites, I know what I'm doing for the next hour or so.
Velocipastor and Alien vs. Predator
Half the reason I love Drop Dead Fred so much is because my wife hates it so much.

“Who Framed Roger Rabbit”.
An absolute masterpiece in terms of blending and transitioning between live action and animation; plus the whole Disney/Warner Bros character crossovers.. just 👌🏼
