Sucker punch.

Looks like a mindless action with titties, but it's actually a good movie. Give it a try if you haven't.

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.

Con Air is an amazing β€œSunday evening after eating too much dinner” film.

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

Swiss Army Man

Ok, part parody, part comedy. But why "Swiss Army"?

[–] lime@feddit.nu 1 points 5 hours ago

+1 for swiss army man.

[–] Patariki 2 points 4 hours ago

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.

I’ve not seen it since it came out but Crank (2006) is a terrible, dumb action comedy that has no right being that entertaining. It’s sequel Crank High Voltage is less good but also still enjoyable. I should rewatch them see if that’s rose tinted glasses or not!

[–] ArsonButCute@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 minute ago

Aren't those movies in the same universe as Glass and Split?

[–] Pulptastic@midwest.social 2 points 1 hour ago

Crank is great! Another JS movie in that category is The Transporter. Totally a B action movie but the premise is unique, the fight scenes are clever (the oil fight!), and the electronic music score is très magnifique. The love aspect, however, is terribly written and cringey. Crank did that part better, and Amy Smart is hilarious.

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.

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Everything by Carpenter, really.

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,

Then throw an air traffic control tower on top.

[–] kalpol@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 hour ago

Yeah I can only imagine the number of untraceable air leaks in that thing, especially as it ages and the DAP around the glass starts to crack

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 4 points 9 hours ago

Oh yeah that thing is a classic.

[–] Genius@lemmy.zip 18 points 10 hours ago

Free Guy

Generic video game movie stuffed with trendy references and fanservice is actually a really good singularity story

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 8 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] exocortex@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 5 hours ago

Yes! Unexpectedly good movie!

Event Horizon... terror in space? Worse the Alien? can't be.

but it is haunting and PTSD inducing, very well made

...hot tub time machine; absurdly better film than its pitch had any right to be...

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

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.

[–] Dearth@lemmy.world 8 points 10 hours ago

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.

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 1 points 6 hours ago

Uwe Boll's Rampage. He gets slated but that movie is great.

[–] kokesh@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

Kripendorf's Tribe. That thing is pure gold.

[–] Skanky@lemmy.world 48 points 16 hours ago (5 children)

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
