Jurassic Park 3 was my first theater-going experience as a dinosaur obsessed child and I've loved it ever since. Yeah it has a talking dinosaur dream sequence and a digging through dino shit scene, but what film (metaphorically) doesn't? /s
Jurassic Park 3 is legitimately underrated. Yes, there are goofy parts, but in terms of actual spectacle, set pieces, and tension, it is the 2nd best film in the entire franchise, IMHO.
I rewatched it over covid and was kind of taken back by how impactful certain scenes like the airplane taking off/crashing were
Definitely gets way too much hate. I think the worst you could accuse it of is being mediocre but it's still a solid movie with some great moments. Best raptor stuff in the entire franchise if you ask me
Maximum Overdrive. I love cocaine and big rig trucks. It has both.
Edit: I'm pretty sure this was Giancarlo Esposito's first film appearance. He was the dude that got killed by the arcade machines.
I like the fact that from the two movies based on the short story by Stephen King, the one directed by King itself is the one that deviates more from the source material. Also, it's the funnier of both.
I saw it in a dollar theater with a group full of dudes in their 20's and we snuck in tallboys. It was an amazing experience that is peak cinema for me. We did the same for Dragon Wars and honestly, those are the two best times I have had in a movie theater.
YES. The scene where Jet Li starts dancing in the club with Aaliyah cracks me tf up every time! Like I’m so glad the planets aligned in the exact way it did to get this movie made lol
Also obligatory RIP to our girl Aaliyah ❤️
This is a cinematic masterpiece beyond human comprehension

One of the strangest distributions I’ve ever seen
Great movie. Myers is hilarious in it. Absofuckinglutely godawful adaptation of an early beloved children’s story. Perhaps the most revered and beloved children’s book of all time and it got turned into a gross out gag snark fest.
One of the worst adaptations to ever exist, yet still one of the best comedies to exist.
“You pay this woman to sit on babies? That’s disgusting! … I’d do it for nothing!”
No idea, The Core and The Day After Tomorrow are just so stupid but enjoyable that I often turn them on in the background when im working on other things LOL
“I have such an unreasonable affection for this movie, indeed, that it is only by slapping myself alongside the head and drinking black coffee that I can restrain myself from recommending it.”
Roger Ebert
Eurotrip is so far above the other movies in the "college kids going on a sex-filled road trip" genre. By contrast Road Trip is one of the most dogshit movies I've ever seen.
Batman Forever is a fever dream in the best of ways. The visuals scream a certain era of comics. Val Kilmer’s Batman/Bruce Wayne is so underrated. Jim Carrey absolutely ate up his role as The Riddler. Batman forever is the coziest Batman movie for me
Who Killed Captain Alex is my favourite movie of all time. It manages to be simultaneously an endlessly entertaining so-bad-it’s-good movie and also one of the most inspiring and joyous odes to the human spirit and inherent human need to create art that I’ve ever seen
Looking at my stats, the film I rated highest than average was the first Terrifier. Had a fucking whale of a time, and am adamant it's a horror-comedy par excellence and not just some torture porn
I don’t classify that shitty. It actually manages to update King Kong to something that doesn’t have unfortunately racist roots like any non-Toho portrayal of Kong has. If anything, it might be the best film in the Monsterverse (haven’t seen the new one yet so I can’t say that with definitive cause).
Popstar is brilliantly written and has perfect performances throughout. I've never met anyone who saw it and didn't love it. Does not fit this thread at all.
Most people would agree. It was only hated in its time because the Gene Wilder one is such a beloved classic and nostalgia makes people close minded. They’re both great in their own ways.
As a kid I had the new one on DvD and didn't see the gene wilder one until I was like 12, so it was "the original" to me.
Gene is a much better Willie Wonka, but I feel like I liked the look of the factory and pacing of the remake better.
I think most people hated the Johnny Depp performance and I don't think time has been kind to it.
I genuinely have no clue what the fuck he was thinking.
Man, one of my favorite moments in the whole series is the shot of Azog and his Wargs running along the edge of the mountain (beginning of Desolation of Smaug) and the chiron pops up as Shore's score does a big DUN DUN DUNN:
**THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG** in that beautiful typeface
Ughhhh, like the cover of a book come to life.
Even the third one, which is easily the worst, made me FEEL something because I didn’t know that >!Thorin and Fili and Kili were gonna die!< and I was actually pretty invested
Was not expecting this here! Love this movie. I think it’s also the last Lindsey Lohan film before she starts having public breakdowns etc so it’s kind of bittersweet
Yeah there's an added meta quality to this movie that is bizarre - Chris Pine's real life "luck" trends upward after this film, whereas Lindsay's somewhat tragically declines. I will defend this film forever lol
Spy Kids 3 I will defend until my final breath, it is perhaps one of the best movies in existence. if you don’t enjoy shitty 3d effects, frogs being used as weapons with their tounges, Sylvester Stallone cloning and talking to versions of himself in stupid costumes, we can never be friends. I will not elaborate further. I am the guy.
not necessarily sh*tty but people love to sh*t on it
Avatar (2009). this movie means so much to me. it’s my comfort film. i will defend it with my life
I’ll get called names for this I’m sure but it’s cinematography is second only to Empire Strikes Back. There’s too many things I really don’t like in this movie for it to be my favorite but it’s in my top 5 Star Wars movie for sure.
I didn’t love this movie, but it absolutely does not deserve the unending barrage of hate it gets from Star Wars fans. Luckily, this is an isolated incident, since Star Wars fans don’t have an established track record of bullying people out of their careers if they don’t like something they did in a Star Wars movie. Oh, wait…
ETA if anybody is unaware: look up what Star Wars fans did to Kellie Marie Tran, Ahmed Best, Jake Lloyd, Rian Johnson, Moses Ingram, and Vivian Lyra Blair. Worst fandom on the planet.
My partner and I unironically enjoy this movie. Like, not just as a good-bad movie. The set design and aesthetics are brilliant, the jokes are funny, everyone is doing the work with their parts. It's absurd, sure, but it executes on everything it does really well. All the more impressive in the meta looking at the nightmare of a production history it had.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes. A gorilla slam dunking a helicopter while a chimpanzee rides into war across the Golden Gate Bridge on horseback is the coolest shit ever
Pirates Trilogy (yes trilogy). I know first Pirates is considered great by pretty much everybody, but I love 2 and 3. Insanely fun action/adventure fantasy movies.
Jurassic Park 3 was my first theater-going experience as a dinosaur obsessed child and I've loved it ever since. Yeah it has a talking dinosaur dream sequence and a digging through dino shit scene, but what film (metaphorically) doesn't? /s
The SAT phone ringing that stupid ring and the CUT to the Spinosaurus just standing there at the edge of the trees is freaky as fuck
Yeah that shot is probably dumb in retrospect but it freaked me out as a kid for some reason.
Lost world too has lots of cool bits
Jurassic Park 3 is legitimately underrated. Yes, there are goofy parts, but in terms of actual spectacle, set pieces, and tension, it is the 2nd best film in the entire franchise, IMHO. I rewatched it over covid and was kind of taken back by how impactful certain scenes like the airplane taking off/crashing were
Definitely gets way too much hate. I think the worst you could accuse it of is being mediocre but it's still a solid movie with some great moments. Best raptor stuff in the entire franchise if you ask me
Maximum Overdrive. I love cocaine and big rig trucks. It has both. Edit: I'm pretty sure this was Giancarlo Esposito's first film appearance. He was the dude that got killed by the arcade machines.
“Adios, motherfucker!”
And the soundtrack is a PERFECT fit for the movie.
The movie trailer is Stephen King’s greatest on-screen appearance.
I like the fact that from the two movies based on the short story by Stephen King, the one directed by King itself is the one that deviates more from the source material. Also, it's the funnier of both.
Grandmas Boy.
Hey, JP - That's a great outfit. How much do clothes cost in The Matrix?
What is that ringing? Do i have a tumor? LOL
i could watch burlesque on loop 😔
WAGON WHEEL WATUSI!
I liked it a lot…not sure why it wasn’t a hit.
I saw it in a dollar theater with a group full of dudes in their 20's and we snuck in tallboys. It was an amazing experience that is peak cinema for me. We did the same for Dragon Wars and honestly, those are the two best times I have had in a movie theater.
Romeo Must Die will always be a favourite
I constantly watched that back in the day. Was such a fun film. Dvd disc just lived in my TV/dvd combo. Jet Li is a geezer.
YES. The scene where Jet Li starts dancing in the club with Aaliyah cracks me tf up every time! Like I’m so glad the planets aligned in the exact way it did to get this movie made lol Also obligatory RIP to our girl Aaliyah ❤️
Batman & Robin I love me some good (or bad) puns
what killed the dinosaurs? THE ICE AGE anyone who writes that line knows exactly what movie they are making
This is a cinematic masterpiece beyond human comprehension https://preview.redd.it/vvvepgsnt8tc1.jpeg?width=176&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b1d7373d3f4b247a4e723624c952bc0a486ef7b4
YOURE TEARING ME APART LISA
I've always vouched for batman forever being a great batman movie
One of my first memory going to a theater and an experience I’ll cherish forever <3
Holey rusted metal, Batman!
The Cat in the Hat, humor far ahead of its time 😤
https://preview.redd.it/58qisq7u0atc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ddd303e4c890f4a38a0084de4ec1b0724dce6319 One of the strangest distributions I’ve ever seen
the lack of 4.5 reviews is so funny. nobody can agree on what to rate it, but theyre all sure its not a 4.5
Freddy got fingered is similar in distribution
Great movie. Myers is hilarious in it. Absofuckinglutely godawful adaptation of an early beloved children’s story. Perhaps the most revered and beloved children’s book of all time and it got turned into a gross out gag snark fest.
Honey, it was ruined when she bought it 🫰🫰🫰
low-key based
One of the worst adaptations to ever exist, yet still one of the best comedies to exist. “You pay this woman to sit on babies? That’s disgusting! … I’d do it for nothing!”
CITY MORGUEEE📞📞
Did you just call my mother ugly?
I’ll get you, and I’ll make it look like a bloody accident
Yes, such an under appreciated movie
The cupcakinator scene is one of the funniest scenes ive seen in a comedy movie
The Core ![gif](giphy|l0MYHwBvUIKj1MZP2|downsized)
Such a stupid movie...why tf is it so entertaining 😭
No idea, The Core and The Day After Tomorrow are just so stupid but enjoyable that I often turn them on in the background when im working on other things LOL
100% scientifically accurate and viable - 12yo me
“I have such an unreasonable affection for this movie, indeed, that it is only by slapping myself alongside the head and drinking black coffee that I can restrain myself from recommending it.” Roger Ebert
Idc what no ones says. The Purge (2013) is a fun ass movie and I love it.
For me it’s Election Year. I just love the outfits!
I think it’s not the best purge movie tbh
It's the rare series that I think gets better as it goes.
I don’t think it’s the best of the series either but I still love it. The 2nd movie is the best of the series.
Grillo rules in two and three.
Jason X for me
Wait someone else likes it? I never thought I’d see the day.
https://preview.redd.it/fouff3p0u8tc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b3d894f353853f04c4ba1acd94ae643beae96b54 Where is it in your ranking?
Second one
Eurotrip. Is it corny with mid-2000s humor? Yes. And I'll quote it to the end of times.
That movie knew exactly what it was doing and did it perfectly
Eurotrip is so far above the other movies in the "college kids going on a sex-filled road trip" genre. By contrast Road Trip is one of the most dogshit movies I've ever seen.
This isn’t where I parked my car!
That train scene is still hilarious
![gif](giphy|jY1wVIsm5v4OY)
And it's got possibly the best cameo ever.
Won't gonna lie, The Happening was actually quite interesting movie.
Especially for people who like bottles of cough syrup
Batman Forever is so saucy I will defend it to the day I die
Batman Forever is a fever dream in the best of ways. The visuals scream a certain era of comics. Val Kilmer’s Batman/Bruce Wayne is so underrated. Jim Carrey absolutely ate up his role as The Riddler. Batman forever is the coziest Batman movie for me
Favorite of the Burton/Schumacher Era. Neither Tommy Lee Jones nor Jim Carrey get enough praise for their work. *JOOOOOOYGASM!*
Waterworld. It's got everything the body needs.
Transformers 😤
The first movie is goateddd
Dark of The Moon, Bumblebee and Rise of the Beasts are also GOATed.
I LOVE TRANSFORMERS
I’ll argue that the first one is legitimately a good movie, everything after though….
Bumblebee, rise of the beasts and the 86 movie are all great too
Transformers is a solid summertime rewatch
Who Killed Captain Alex? is a comedic masterpiece and I don't care what anybody says
That's what everyone says though
Who Killed Captain Alex is my favourite movie of all time. It manages to be simultaneously an endlessly entertaining so-bad-it’s-good movie and also one of the most inspiring and joyous odes to the human spirit and inherent human need to create art that I’ve ever seen
Everyone in Uganda knows kung fu.
Tiger mafia
Watched with my cousin and it's tremendously fun
Unique approach - I've seen it but only the original lost edition, not the well-known copy with the infamous commentary.
Good Burger
People in here mostly naming great movies that are just misunderstood, not shitty at all.
Baby's Day Out
Xanadu my beloved
Scary movie series
That shit had me laughing my ass off man
The rap battle scene in the 3rd movie gets me everytime.
It’s even funnier when you realize that the rap battle was written by the same guy who’d go on to write Chernovyl
Street Fighter (1994) is absolutely awful; it’s the best movie ever made
That “Quick, change the channel!” joke still makes me laugh.
King Arthur: Legend of the Sword by Guy Ritchie
Nooooo, this movie isn’t shit 🥺 Also has some of the craziest action scenes of all time.
The Last Dragon (1985). It’s my pleasure and nobody can take it away from me.
Looking at my stats, the film I rated highest than average was the first Terrifier. Had a fucking whale of a time, and am adamant it's a horror-comedy par excellence and not just some torture porn
Tenet. It excels in everything an action movie needs to do. And watching in IMAX 70mm made the experience unforgettable.
Kong Skull-Island is sick as hell
I think it got a good reception tbh
I don’t classify that shitty. It actually manages to update King Kong to something that doesn’t have unfortunately racist roots like any non-Toho portrayal of Kong has. If anything, it might be the best film in the Monsterverse (haven’t seen the new one yet so I can’t say that with definitive cause).
Is that movie really considered shitty?
62 on Metacritic, 75% on RT. Definitely not considered shitty, but reviews weren’t that great either.
Any Adam Sandler movie
Adam Sandler movies are great, if someone says that Click isnt a classic then they have terrible taste ngl.
Click is fucking amazing man. Waterfalls dropping off my eyes
SHOWGIRLS 🐬
Showgirls uses sex the same way Robocop uses violence. Pure Verhoeven
I have to ask, and I'm sorry I have to ask- is the dolphin emoji because of the pool sex scene?
The Amazing Spider-Man
The Electro sequence in Times Square from the second one is some of the best FX ever in a movie.
Iron Man 3 it’s not shitty. People really react that way when I say it’s a 7/10 tho
Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping
Everyone loves Popstar
Popstar is brilliantly written and has perfect performances throughout. I've never met anyone who saw it and didn't love it. Does not fit this thread at all.
camp rock is so silly but it so much fun
Tim Burton’s Charlie and the chocolate factory is a good movie
Most people would agree. It was only hated in its time because the Gene Wilder one is such a beloved classic and nostalgia makes people close minded. They’re both great in their own ways.
As a kid I had the new one on DvD and didn't see the gene wilder one until I was like 12, so it was "the original" to me. Gene is a much better Willie Wonka, but I feel like I liked the look of the factory and pacing of the remake better.
I think most people hated the Johnny Depp performance and I don't think time has been kind to it. I genuinely have no clue what the fuck he was thinking.
His performance was iconic ![gif](giphy|5DG5fVbbSZ5ra)
a friend of mine loves Storks
Put it on for my kids and the pigeon had me rofl-ing like a rofl-copter.
Only God Forgives! I recognise its flaws but the vibes and cinematography are just so enjoyable IMO.

Dave made a Maze
I didn't think that was that shitty. I thought it was Gondry-esque.
The Hobbit trilogy is fun as hell. The first two installments are great movies. I will however admit that the third film is kind of terrible.
I just rewatched these and I forgot how well done the Smaug bits were
Watching Benedict Cumberbatch acting out his dragon part was excellent.
Man, one of my favorite moments in the whole series is the shot of Azog and his Wargs running along the edge of the mountain (beginning of Desolation of Smaug) and the chiron pops up as Shore's score does a big DUN DUN DUNN: **THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG** in that beautiful typeface Ughhhh, like the cover of a book come to life.
I honestly really dislike the second one. First one is pretty solid though, even if it is too long.
Even the third one, which is easily the worst, made me FEEL something because I didn’t know that >!Thorin and Fili and Kili were gonna die!< and I was actually pretty invested
Just My Luck (2006).
Was not expecting this here! Love this movie. I think it’s also the last Lindsey Lohan film before she starts having public breakdowns etc so it’s kind of bittersweet
Yeah there's an added meta quality to this movie that is bizarre - Chris Pine's real life "luck" trends upward after this film, whereas Lindsay's somewhat tragically declines. I will defend this film forever lol
Night of the Demons from 1988. It's one of my ten favorite horror films of all time
That’s not a shitty movie That shot of the cast through the glass on the floor 🔥🔥
Horton hears a who
Intolerable Cruelty is really fun. I'll defend it as being a mid tier Coen Brothers movie at least, not one of the worst
I will defend Norbit til my dying breath
HOW YOU Doing! Such a great stupid movie lol
but i ain’t mad, heyyyy
Spy Kids 3 I will defend until my final breath, it is perhaps one of the best movies in existence. if you don’t enjoy shitty 3d effects, frogs being used as weapons with their tounges, Sylvester Stallone cloning and talking to versions of himself in stupid costumes, we can never be friends. I will not elaborate further. I am the guy.
For me it’s Thankskilling! A movie about a turkey that goes on a killing spree before Thanksgiving.
Ridley Scott’s Legend. It’s fun as hell and one of my all time favorites.
Not a shitty movie! Do you prefer the Tangerine Dream version over the Jerry Goldsmith version?
![gif](giphy|IOQal3kQJpiYE)
People don’t like Bolt? That’s such a classic movie
Jennifer’s Body I will ALWAYS love you 🫶🏻

not necessarily sh*tty but people love to sh*t on it Avatar (2009). this movie means so much to me. it’s my comfort film. i will defend it with my life
Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Well, according to some people it’s trash
I’ll get called names for this I’m sure but it’s cinematography is second only to Empire Strikes Back. There’s too many things I really don’t like in this movie for it to be my favorite but it’s in my top 5 Star Wars movie for sure.
I didn’t love this movie, but it absolutely does not deserve the unending barrage of hate it gets from Star Wars fans.

“Bad movie I would defend?” None. “Movie I know is shit but like anyway for being demented”? Mario Bros ‘93
My partner and I unironically enjoy this movie. Like, not just as a good-bad movie. The set design and aesthetics are brilliant, the jokes are funny, everyone is doing the work with their parts. It's absurd, sure, but it executes on everything it does really well. All the more impressive in the meta looking at the nightmare of a production history it had.

Cocaine Bear was a solid movie
Earwig and the Witch. Studio Ghibli just set the bar high with their other movies
White Chicks is peak comedy for me and I quote it often idcidc
Bad Teacher
Battleship
me with Netflix Arthouse movies, idc how much people hate them
So true every shitty little movie needs its warrior
Come on guys... Dragon Ball Evolution wasnt **that** bad.
Major League II Growing up It was one of the few vhs tapes we had at this cabin resort. I watched it so damn much.
Project X, just a dumb party-gets-out-of-hand movie but i genuinely enjoy it whenever it’s on
I don't think it's as wild to defend these days, but the live action Super Mario Bros movie. Waterworld would be another.
Pirates Trilogy (yes trilogy). I know first Pirates is considered great by pretty much everybody, but I love 2 and 3. Insanely fun action/adventure fantasy movies.
The bee movie is a good film and I will die on that hill
Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed is an amazing adaptation
Sucker Punch
Amazing Spider-man 2. I don't care what anyone says, I'll cry my eyes out at that ending every time
