Ask Lemmy

Idiocracy. Has stood the test of time surprisingly well for a movie containing so many fart and sex jokes.

IDK about "rated higher" but I love Jet Li's The One

There's exactly 127 universes in the multiverse. Why? Never discussed. And if one version of you kills another, every other version gets that much stronger. So Jet Li plays both the hero and the villain as well as an assortment of the villain's victims. Jason Statham is in it too, as the hotheaded junior partner multiverse cop out to bring the villain down.

Weird guns! Weird tech! A prison universe! Super powered martial arts! A climactic fight in a foundry where you can tell the hero from the villain by the color of their shirt! Man I love this movie!

Kung Pow: Enter the Fist

I unironically love Rubber. Not a single person I've shown has shared that sentiment haha

It's about a tire that blows things up with It's mind

Edit: doesn't anyone know how to make spoilers hidden? I wanna type something but dont want to just put it out there

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

I am a so-bad-it-is-good movie enjoyer. If you want to view some genuinely entertaining schlock, I'd highly recommend:

• Miami Connection
• Samurai Cop
• Killing: American Style
• Space Mutiny
• Money Plane
• Paradise Motel
• I am Here, Now (any Neil Breen tbh)
• Timecop

The David lynch version of Dune. I find it much more enjoyable than the recent version(s). The art direction and casting are amazing.

The only clunky part is in the TV cut where they use storyboards and voiceovers to give some back history about the Mentats. Pretty sure this was not in the theatrical release though it’s been a while since I’ve rewatched it. Oh and the human close ups of riding the worms is showing its age in the special effects department.

Super Mario Bros Movie.

Robocop 2014

I think its extremely underrated.

I thoroughly enjoyed it, because out of all the sci-fi movies I've seen in the last two decades, this one has a very high likely chance of playing out exactly as indicated in the film.

We will blur the line between man and machine, and eventually have a identity crisis.

We will very likely see autonomous drone platoons being coordinated by a few or single human operator.

Those drones will likely be deployed in a military fashion first with push-back on deploying on home soil as a police force.

Until they will inevitably be deployed and used against civilians.

Also kudo's to the scene where he is stripped down to the bare parts, and the entire theater went quiet. There's a level of existential dread, when your 'being' is laid bare that the reality is... you... everything about you.... is just a small clump of grey matter.

I wanted to recommend The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension, but it's sitting at 6.2 on IMDB, which is higher than I expected. I'm still going to, because it's great. Jeff Goldblum plays the most normal person in the film.

Robot Jox, I watched the hell out of this as a kid.. And no it shouldn't be rated any higher than it already is.

Titan AE

Hudson Hawk - 5.7 - It's so dumb, but I love it. Richard E. Grant and Sandra Bernhard chewing the scenery with abandon steal every scene they're in.

Captain Ron

I actually like the Tom Cruise War of the Worlds good sound mixing too.

• Brüno - 5.9
• The Ringer - 5.8
• MacGruber - 5.5
• Jingle All The Way - 5.6

I'm not gonna defend them as super great movies but I do feel they are underrated by a point. If Bruno dropped before the world saw Borat I think it would have been better recieved.

Wouldn't say I love it but I really liked Not Another Teen Movie when I first saw it. Not sure how it holds up but the parody it makes of those high school romcoms was good.

In a similar vein, Scary Movie 2 and 3 were also really funny to me as a kid.

Freddy Got Fingered! The joke is on the studio and audience, and most did not want to laugh along...

In the army now!

5.0. Pauly Shore, Andy Dick, David Alan Greer, Lori Petty

• The Long Kiss Goodnight - retcon it as a prequel to the Bourne trilogy and it's 10 times better. It's already top quality late 90's action cheese.

• Spice World is madcap mania. Recent Flop House episode about it. It's the only movie I ever watched, rewound, and watched again.

• VHF, staring Weird Al Yankovick. It's a genuine shame no one else said this. Are people OK?

• Josie and the Pussycats. Replace "sell CDs" with "Spotify" and literally nothing changes.

I enjoy pretty much every movie in some respects, but if you haven’t watched Deadly Prey (1987) you’re missing out.

It’s the worst story tropes of Rambo, The Room, and a 2AM cable access TV show and it’s somehow so utterly horrible that I couldn’t stop watching and laughing.

It definitely shouldn’t be rated higher. But it is almost must-watch for how bad it is. Easily one of the five worst movies I’ve ever seen.

If we’re not talking about horribly shot and scripted movies, then I’d have to say Passenger 57. Sure, it’s an overly simplistic 90s formulaic movie, but I liked it. Plus it’s got Elizabeth Hurley, Bruce Greenwood, and Tom Sizemore, as well as Ernie Lively (Blake’s dad), before they all went on to larger careers.

I always raise eyebrows with this one,

Lady In the Water

My favorite lowest rated movie is Steel, with a rating of like 3 stars on IMDB. It's got some incredibly stupid, but quotable lines.

"The alloy of those weapons is not magnetic."

"Well dip me in shit and roll me in breadcrumbs!"

"An ounce of pretention is worth a pound of manure."

snakes on a plane (5.5)
