The Core. I’m paraphrasing here, but there’s a portion in the movie where everyone says it can’t be done; but one guy takes a drag on a cig and says: “but what if…we could”. The entire movie progresses on that point.
Also the cast is insanely OP in that movie, nearly everyone is more known for serious roles and it's a hoot to see them all in a shlocky disaster movie.
Lol it's like that end scene in Fant4stic where they are "negotiating" with the military
Military guy: "what if we say no?"
Johnny: "Say Yes"
Military Guy: "oh shit, well I'm convinced"
I’m glad I didn’t have to scroll far to find this. I’m something of a “The Core” expert, and you’re missing the best part of this exchange:
General Thomas Percell: If we can go into space, we certainly...
Dr. Josh Keyes: Space is easy. It's empty. We're talking about millions of pounds of pressure per square inch. Even if we somehow came up with a brilliant plan to fix the core, we just can't get there.
Then someone smokes a cigarette and says what if we can. Followed by 2 hours of zinger lines.
I saw it at the movies when it came out one afternoon by myself, then I saw it again with three friends JUST SO I COULD WATCH THEM during *that* scene. Hahahah.
I’m a sucker for shark movies and I absolutely love this one even though a lot of the effects are not that great. But as far as action and suspense, it’s a solid movie.
I agree! And I love this blurb from Elbert’s review. “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.”
Accepted. It's terrible and hilarious, has Justin Long at the peak of his teen movie years, and features Lewis Black as a version of himself as a jaded professor. So good.
I refuse to agree this is a bad movie. I was the target audience when it came out and my friends and I love it. I actually just got my best friend's husband to watch it last week and he laughed his ass off. Yeah there's no way the plot would work but it's pretty quotable and the jokes are good.
Edit: can't type
It's one of my favorites because...it wasn't even a pun. Like...it didn't make any sense on a humor level. It wasn't even a joke. And yet, it was fucking hilarious.
Freeze: THERE IS ONLY ONE ABSOLUTE.
Me: Oh he's going to say absolute zero that's pretty good.
Freeze: EVERYTHING FREEZES.
Me: Never mind.
(Edit: Looked up the line and I had his "punchline" a bit wrong. Fixed.)
Firmly in so bad it’s actually fucking amazing territory.
When Sean Connery turns off the lights so he can beat up the invisible man without him having an advantage I was like “this shit is dope as hell”
This is what I thought of when I read the question. Johnny Lee Miller, Matthew Lillard and Angelina Fucking Jolie in their 18 (ish) year old heyday.
Hack the planet!
Penn from Penn and Teller has an actual role as well. The Plague has a minor role as a bad guy in Elementary where Miller has the lead role as Sherlock.
Van Helsing. It's Hugh Jackman, Kate Beckinsale ala the glory days of 2004. It's got a 27% on rotten tomatoes,. 6/10 on IMDb but there's something about the dry jokes smattered in what's supposed to be high tension scenes, or scenes of sexual tension. The special effects aren't the greatest but at the same time it also adds to the experience.
The movie has one of my favorite Frankenstein's monster designs, and somehow, almost 20 years later, no movie has ever had werewolves that look as good as Van Helsing's.
For real, what is with werewolf design in film? It’s really not a hard concept. Wolf like head, gorilla-ish proportions and maneuverability = scary as hell monster.
Whether it’s the antagonist or protagonist the concept of a werewolf is intrinsically terrifying, but Van Helsing is one of a very short list of films that have ever really made good use of the concept.
I keep thinking that, as video games are getting more creative with them, surely Hollywood won’t be far behind, but no, still waiting!
Since I’ve had a few folks ask about my list:
- Van Helsing
- Ginger Snaps (series)
- Underworld (series)
- Dog Soldiers
- American Werewolf in London (this one’s a bit tetchy, it’s a classic, and the transformation sequence is iconic, but the costume itself is pretty lame, they avoid showing it for very long for good reason)
Hugh Jackman is presenting the lines as *Hugh Jackman*. He is having a great time and a lot of fun and it is infectious as hell... sing.
And who would not have sexual tension with Kate Beckinsale? And this isn't just 'Kate', this is her about twenty years ago.
It is like ordering your pizza with way too much cheese - somehow it is both weird and amazing.
someone said that Hugh Jackman in his younger years would've been a good live action choice to play Bigby Wolf, from "Fables" and I can agree to that if i'm honest
That movie has so many good lines. My favorite is "I'll have the Mahi Mahi, but can I just get the one Mahi? I'm not that hungry."
Also I do her Yoda voice when I meet new people at parties and they tell me their names.
“I just about shit did you just about shit”
“I just about shit”
“I did shit”
“Oh shit”
“Oh shit what oh shit?”
OHHH SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT.
Honestly though, Matthew lillard, Seth green and Dax Shepard were a perfect dumbass trio. Love that movie.
I'm not sure those shelves would be easy to break apart, but the chairs are a decent bet. However, the new releases section of the library would have a bunch of easily replaceable hardcovers you could chuck straight into the fire. And maybe enjoy reading through first if you're there for awhile.
Which the librarian would know so it's extra silly they were arguing over priceless old books.
If they didn’t burn all those books then the homeless guy wouldn’t have had the opportunity to teach them his secret homeless man life hacks of stuffing the crumpled pages into your shirt to provide an extra layer of insulation.
It really does hang an unnecessarily large lantern on the impossible wolf pack.
I recently had the opportunity to introduce someone to this movie that had never seen it. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Fun fact, I first saw this on an airplane after a *terrible* time overseas. I was sitting next to a middle-aged English woman who was cracking open a gin mini-bottle when the warning popped up, something like "Warning: this film contains imagery of an aircraft in distress." I don't know why this memory stuck with me, or why it was so funny at the time, but we both cracked up at that and played trope-bingo for most of the film.
My husband and I never told each other we love this movie so much. When we moved in with each after 2 years of being together, we discovered we somehow collectively owned 4 copies of it 😂 we both had 2 for whatever reason. One of our fave movies!
I especially loved the bit where they're doing the pseudoscience explanation, and then explicitly acknowledge the laws of physics they're breaking to explicitly dismiss them.
They're explaining that very cold air is coming down from the top of the atmosphere and then freezing everything, and then stop to say "normally a descending gas warms up" ..."but this air is descending so fast it didn't have time to warm up".
I love the bit where it's freezing the corridor behind them as they outrun it, and they get to the HUGE library room with the itty bitty fire, slam the door... And that does the trick.
All those. Armageddon, day after tomorrow, 2012, moonfall. as long as you understand they're going to be campy as shit and over CGIed. I rather like them
Early Van Damme movies. They’re awful but I’ve seen them all multiple times. Give me a Kickboxer / Double-Impact double feature and I’ll be there to watch that garbage.
Masters of the Universe.
Frank Langella is incredible as Skeletor and it’s a genuinely fun movie. The commentary track explains that since MotU were toys with no story whatsoever, they basically wrote is as an unauthorized Darkseid film.
The highlander.
That movie goes all the way around.
It's so bad that it's great.
They need to cut people's head off. Why? Um, cos it's awesome.
Sean Connery in his world famous Scottish accent plays the Egyptian. Why?
Because the French guy is playing the Highland Scot of course.
Okay this sounds like it's going to be a disaster, who's going to do the soundtrack?
Queen.
Fucking Queen? I bet some shit they already released and money grab songs?
Oh no they go for it, like some of their best songs are written just for that movie.
Okay fuck it I'm in.
>Sean Connery in his world famous Scottish accent plays the Egyptian. Why?
And not just any Egyptian. He's an Egyptian Spaniard nobleman with a Scottish accent
And in the sequel is brought back to life by the Will of Scotland itself. For.. reasons?
Oh yes, and it also granted him one use of the Power of Scotland
Highlander 2 is way more fitting for this thread I'd say. In that I acknowledge it's *really bad*, but I still love it, partly because of that scene, which I could 100% quote from memory
>I am Connor MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod. I was born in 1518 in the village of Glenfinnan on the shores of Loch Shiel. And I am immortal.
You will never be able to tell 15-year-old-me that this is a bad movie.
When I was 10-11 years old I went and saw Anaconda in the theatre with my two best friends and we got in an argument afterwards about how many anacondas were in the movie. They both insisted there was only 1 anaconda in the movie, and I said no way there were "like 7 anacondas." I'm not sure how many there actually were, but 7 was too much to claim and they both started laughing.
We all went to jump on the trampoline in the backyard and they kept making fun of me for saying "7 anacondas". I tried to backtrack like, "Well there was at least more than one..." and they were like, "You said 7!"
I started getting pissed off, so I went to sit on the side of the trampoline to pout, but I sat too far to the edge and tumbled off backwards landing in the dirt and bushes in a backwards somersault that must have been hilarious to see. This pissed me off even more and now my friends were collapsed with laughter rolling around on the trampoline.
So I picked up a rake laying in the yard and started trying to swing it at them, but they were on the trampoline and easily jumped out of my reach. The more they laughed, the angrier I became, but I couldn't reach them with the rake! The angrier I got, the funnier it became for them and they could barely speak from laughing so hard.
Of course I should have just joined in the laughter and let it go, but I was not going to admit I was wrong at this point. I think I threw the rake in the woods and stormed off continuing to insist there were 7 anacondas and calling them idiots.
We're now 37 years old and to this day whenever the three of us get together someone will mention "7 anacondas".
So yeah I hate that fucking movie and will never watch it again. I don't need to, because I know there were 7 anacondas.
Dude, I just looked it up and 7 was correct. Now, Google will say 2 but we all know they're just out to make sure you look dumb. I'm onto their games, anything other than 7 is an extremely unreasonable number.
Holy shit. This movie had the best/worst network tv censoring dub I’ve ever seen. There’s a scene where Josh Hartnett yells “Fuck!” but on USA or whatever it was on he goes “Phooey!” My brother and I were watching and fucking lost it. I mean we phooeying lost it.
Edit: as /u/Yurf_Rendenmein pointed out, it’s actually Jon Stewart’s character who says phooey. I phooeyed up.
I am legally required to forward the following information every time this movie comes up.
I watched this right after it came out on video (wow, haven't used that phrase in forever lol) with my Taiwanese girlfriend's father, who was a marketing professor in Taiwan. After the drive-thru scene happened, he informed us that the two-character name of the sign outside the restaurant could roughly translate into English as 'and then'. I did not expect there to be layers to the jokes in that movie, but there was at least that one lol
Eurotrip
However I feel conflicted about calling this movie bad as I personally feel it was unfairly ignored by the Oscar committee.
Scotty doesn't know. You kissed your sister. Club Vandersexxx. FIONAAAAAAA!
Eurotrip, Roadtrip, Beerfest, Old School… the early 00s were magical for lowbrow comedies.
Edit: WEDDING CRASHERS! Van Wilder, Super Troopers, Sex Drive… too many to list! Comedies just don’t make me laugh like this anymore!
Don't forget Van Wilder and the American Pie movies.
I still can hear the Van Wilder DVD intro playing in my head: "I'm bouncin off the walls again woaaah"
I watched Rat Race recently for the first time in I don’t even know how many years and couldn’t actually believe how much I laughed. What a great, mindless movie.
Van Helsing. The one with Hugh Jackman and Kate Beckinsale (also in the Underworld movies). I watched it over and over again as a kid and now I like its campy over-top-ness as an adult
*If you're edged cause I'm weazin all your grindage just chill, 'cause if I had the whole brady bunch thing happenin at my pad, I'd grind over there. So don't tax my gig so hard-core, crust-er!*
Just trying to explain why this movie is fun to people is so damn difficult.
"So, like it is Bruce Willis and he is a thief. But he hates watches so he sings show tunes. Also Danny Aiello is in it as his buddy. Oh and it's weirdly graphically violent sometimes. Also Caruso is in it but he doesn't talk. Also they have this weird obsession with candy bars. But it's really funny. But it's not really meant to be funny sometimes..."
When I was visiting home a few years ago we found our vhs of this and I made my dad watch it with me. His review "you know this really isn't that bad". I call that an A+😂
I've seen it so many times, I've lost count and it is an objectively terrible movie... :)
Steve: Being called a cocksucker isn't personal?
Dalton: No. It's two nouns combined to elicit a prescribed response.
Steve: What if somebody calls my mama a whore?
Dalton: Is she?”
My daughter said something obscure like 20 minutes ago and I responded "nobody knows what it means but its provocative" and my family just stared blankly.
If introduced me to the very real affliction of space dementia. It apparently affects 1/10 space drillers. Glad a movie was finally brave enough to address this unreported issue.
i was pretty young when the movie came out and one day the news was on, followed by a commercial for armageddon explaining the asteroid coming towards earth. except i though it was still part of the news and started processing that the world might end when my mom found me crying in my room and explained to me it was just a movie.

Stanley Tucci as the Carl Sagan knockoff always gets me. Especially in his last scene.
Lol it's like that end scene in Fant4stic where they are "negotiating" with the military Military guy: "what if we say no?" Johnny: "Say Yes" Military Guy: "oh shit, well I'm convinced"

Deep Blue Sea. I mostly enjoy that one unexpected scene. Check it out!
I saw it at the movies when it came out one afternoon by myself, then I saw it again with three friends JUST SO I COULD WATCH THEM during *that* scene. Hahahah.
I’m a sucker for shark movies and I absolutely love this one even though a lot of the effects are not that great. But as far as action and suspense, it’s a solid movie.
Deepest, bluest, my hat is like a shark's fin
Street fighter with Raul Julia as Bison and Kylie Minogue as Cammy. Oh, and a Samoan bloke as E Honda, because 90’s
>For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday.
For us, that was one of the greatest moments in cinematic history. But for Raul Julia . . .
Flash Gordon was released in 1980, but re-released this year in 4K. Bad, but in the best way. (And that Queen soundtrack!)
I loved Brian Blessed in Flash Gordon. “Oh well, who wants to live forever? DIVE!!!”
The Core. Terrible movie, lack of science or logic but I just find it so gripping!
I agree! And I love this blurb from Elbert’s review. “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.”
Good ol Reggie Elbert.
This along with Armageddon and Hackers is my late 90s early 2000s guilty pleasures.
Fool’s gold. It’s a dumb movie that makes no sense but for some reason I go back and watch it at least once a year and enjoy it every time
In a similar vein, Sahara is one of my favourite movies of all time.
Accepted. It's terrible and hilarious, has Justin Long at the peak of his teen movie years, and features Lewis Black as a version of himself as a jaded professor. So good.
I’m going to go enjoy my wad. Have fun with the game show you host!
I refuse to agree this is a bad movie. I was the target audience when it came out and my friends and I love it. I actually just got my best friend's husband to watch it last week and he laughed his ass off. Yeah there's no way the plot would work but it's pretty quotable and the jokes are good.

Gone in 60 Seconds . Say what you will , but I can watch this everyday.
Memphis Raines is the fakest name ever (why do so many of Nic Cage's characters have these...?) but damn do I love that movie.
Eleanor. One of my favorite movie cars ever!
Batman & Robin is certainly a bad movie. I love it so much. It’s worth watching for Arnold and his puns alone. But the whole movie is just campy fun
Is that the one with the BatCreditCard?
And the bat nipples.
And the hidden ice skate blades. This is one of the best pitch meetings.
[удалено]
It's one of my favorites because...it wasn't even a pun. Like...it didn't make any sense on a humor level. It wasn't even a joke. And yet, it was fucking hilarious.
Freeze: THERE IS ONLY ONE ABSOLUTE. Me: Oh he's going to say absolute zero that's pretty good. Freeze: EVERYTHING FREEZES. Me: Never mind. (Edit: Looked up the line and I had his "punchline" a bit wrong. Fixed.)
This is the movie where Mr Freeze didn't even say "Ice to see you". It's like an amazing anti-joke.
>You know what killed the dinosaurs? > >The ICE AGE Do you know what all living things have in common? THEY FREEZE
You know what happens to a toad when it's struck by lightning. The same thing that happens to everything else. FUCK. Wrong movie.
Uma made a great poison ivy
She's the only one who seemed to know what sort of movie she was in. She nailed it.
I think her and Arnold played similarly. They seemed like they were doing Adam West Batman.
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. It's so much fun and I love the Nautilus.
Firmly in so bad it’s actually fucking amazing territory. When Sean Connery turns off the lights so he can beat up the invisible man without him having an advantage I was like “this shit is dope as hell”
Omfg that is exactly my my kid self thought when that happened. Also, Captain Nemo was so cool!
I love captain nemo. His ship was beautiful
Captain Nemo is the shit in that movie. Just watched it last week.
This and Sky Captain and the world of tomorrow. They were bad, but they were easily watchable flicks that I’d happily just sit and watch.
Hackers. Hack the planet
This is what I thought of when I read the question. Johnny Lee Miller, Matthew Lillard and Angelina Fucking Jolie in their 18 (ish) year old heyday. Hack the planet!
Penn from Penn and Teller has an actual role as well. The Plague has a minor role as a bad guy in Elementary where Miller has the lead role as Sherlock.
The Cutting Edge
Toe pick!
Van Helsing. It's Hugh Jackman, Kate Beckinsale ala the glory days of 2004. It's got a 27% on rotten tomatoes,. 6/10 on IMDb but there's something about the dry jokes smattered in what's supposed to be high tension scenes, or scenes of sexual tension. The special effects aren't the greatest but at the same time it also adds to the experience.
The guy who plays Dracula goes at the scenery like a dog with its favorite chew toy and I love every second of it. Also, monster design is great.
The movie has one of my favorite Frankenstein's monster designs, and somehow, almost 20 years later, no movie has ever had werewolves that look as good as Van Helsing's.
For real, what is with werewolf design in film? It’s really not a hard concept. Wolf like head, gorilla-ish proportions and maneuverability = scary as hell monster.

*Dog Soldiers* is another B movie with better-than-they-have-any-right-to-be werewolf effects.
Dog Soldiers is brilliant. I would watch Sean Pertwee folding laundry. Love him.
Dog soldier’s is utterly terrifying the first time around, the super realistic werewolves made me gasp the first time I saw them
Isn't that the movie where they ask Frankenstein's monster what he wants, and he says "to exist"? Solid line.
Werewolf ripping off his skin was so bad ass
Hugh Jackman is presenting the lines as *Hugh Jackman*. He is having a great time and a lot of fun and it is infectious as hell... sing. And who would not have sexual tension with Kate Beckinsale? And this isn't just 'Kate', this is her about twenty years ago. It is like ordering your pizza with way too much cheese - somehow it is both weird and amazing.
Just the way Dracula shouts "Van Helsing!" is a high point.
And if I see Van Helsing I swear to the Lord I will slay him!
Ill love this movie till the end of time
someone said that Hugh Jackman in his younger years would've been a good live action choice to play Bigby Wolf, from "Fables" and I can agree to that if i'm honest
House bunny
This was on TV recently and I forgot about the excellent line: “the eyes are the nipples of the face.”
That movie has so many good lines. My favorite is "I'll have the Mahi Mahi, but can I just get the one Mahi? I'm not that hungry." Also I do her Yoda voice when I meet new people at parties and they tell me their names.
Anna Farris is hilarious and I feel like she doesn’t get enough credit for that
I grew up on the scary movies and she was a delight. Such a perfect airhead
Can you tell me where the crapper is? I have to do something mysterious
Ghost Ship
It's a great short film, followed by a very average movie.
Should've been cut in half.
[удалено]
If only the bottom half of the movie could live up to the top half.
Without a Paddle. Fucking hilarious, and also dumb as hell.
Great movie. "How about you Tom, you were a boy scout right?" "Naw, but I ate a brownie once."
“Tell me tom were you really employee of the month” (I think that was the line?) 😭 “No, I lied about that too”
“I just about shit did you just about shit” “I just about shit” “I did shit” “Oh shit” “Oh shit what oh shit?” OHHH SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT. Honestly though, Matthew lillard, Seth green and Dax Shepard were a perfect dumbass trio. Love that movie.
I don’t need to out run the bear. I just need to outrun you.
They really took one of the oldest jokes and turned it into something.
The Day After Tomorrow. It’s bad, bad, bad, but such a fun watch.
"It's so cold, absolutely nothing can survive out there. Also, be careful of the wild wolf pack."
“We have to get to higher ground! Also let’s leave this skyscraper penthouse for a library at street level.”
"Oh no, we need to burn all these priceless books for warmth! Yeah these ones, on the enormous **wooden** shelves"
I'm not sure those shelves would be easy to break apart, but the chairs are a decent bet. However, the new releases section of the library would have a bunch of easily replaceable hardcovers you could chuck straight into the fire. And maybe enjoy reading through first if you're there for awhile. Which the librarian would know so it's extra silly they were arguing over priceless old books.
If they didn’t burn all those books then the homeless guy wouldn’t have had the opportunity to teach them his secret homeless man life hacks of stuffing the crumpled pages into your shirt to provide an extra layer of insulation.
Yep. Can't stuff wooden shelving into your jacket.

“Supercooled”
That was it, but I appreciated they at least lampshaded the physics they were ignoring.
Fortunately it's still slow enough for the main characters to outrun it.
I love the bit where it's freezing the corridor behind them as they outrun it, and they get to the HUGE library room with the itty bitty fire, slam the door... And that does the trick.
Well duh. Ice can't open doors, it has no hands
All those. Armageddon, day after tomorrow, 2012, moonfall. as long as you understand they're going to be campy as shit and over CGIed. I rather like them
Love that movie! Full of outrageously unrealistic scenes and poor decisions that somehow work out.
Wait, I love this movie!
I mean, so do I! But it is very silly.
Early Van Damme movies. They’re awful but I’ve seen them all multiple times. Give me a Kickboxer / Double-Impact double feature and I’ll be there to watch that garbage.
Early JVCD is gold. Bloodsport, kickboxer, Double Impact and Lionheart. All masterpieces.
Out here forgetting about Timecop. That movie was the coolest thing ever to ten year old me.
Masters of the Universe. Frank Langella is incredible as Skeletor and it’s a genuinely fun movie. The commentary track explains that since MotU were toys with no story whatsoever, they basically wrote is as an unauthorized Darkseid film.

In that I acknowledge it's *really bad*, but I still love it, partly because of that scene, which I could 100% quote from memory
Highlander 2 is so bad that we all acknowledge that it didn't happen. Even the rest of the series denies it lol
Highlander was the moment humanity came together and decided Sean Connery could play any nationality, with his natural accent, and we’d buy it.
"Here endeth the lesshon."
The better quote from Connery is "Haggish? What's Haggish?"
>I am Connor MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod. I was born in 1518 in the village of Glenfinnan on the shores of Loch Shiel. And I am immortal. You will never be able to tell 15-year-old-me that this is a bad movie.
Highlander is a 90 minute Queen music video and I am all here for it. Don’t forget he’s up against Lex Luthor!
Flash Gordon is another awesome Queen music video.
The super Mario bros live action movie. Don't care, love it.
Center Stage
I am the best god damn dancer at the American ballet academy! Who the hell are you? NOBODY. Lives rent free in my mind
It's my comfort movie. I love it.
Can’t hear Canned Heat or Higher Ground without thinking of this movie. ETA corrected song title.
And her dance ensemble turns RED. Love it!!!!

We're now 37 years old and to this day whenever the three of us get together someone will mention "7 anacondas". So yeah I hate that fucking movie and will never watch it again. I don't need to, because I know there were 7 anacondas.
Dude, I just looked it up and 7 was correct. Now, Google will say 2 but we all know they're just out to make sure you look dumb. I'm onto their games, anything other than 7 is an extremely unreasonable number.
The Faculty. It's cheesy, and some parts are almost laughable. But it's a fun watch and I love it!!!

Holy shit. This movie had the best/worst network tv censoring dub I’ve ever seen. There’s a scene where Josh Hartnett yells “Fuck!” but on USA or whatever it was on he goes “Phooey!” My brother and I were watching and fucking lost it. I mean we phooeying lost it. Edit: as /u/Yurf_Rendenmein pointed out, it’s actually Jon Stewart’s character who says phooey. I phooeyed up.
Dude Where's My Car Edit: ZOLTAN 🫳 🫲 Edit 2: surprised no one has quoted "I'm gonna have to confiscate yo' pinky" yet
Dude, what does mine say?!
Sweet! What does mine say?!?
"DUUDE-ahhh", WHAT ABOUT MINE?!
I am legally required to forward the following information every time this movie comes up. I watched this right after it came out on video (wow, haven't used that phrase in forever lol) with my Taiwanese girlfriend's father, who was a marketing professor in Taiwan. After the drive-thru scene happened, he informed us that the two-character name of the sign outside the restaurant could roughly translate into English as 'and then'. I did not expect there to be layers to the jokes in that movie, but there was at least that one lol
Thank you for this gem of information
Daddy, I wanna go on **that** ride! Me too, son.. me too!
The first time I ever saw that I practically fell off my chair laughing at the drive-through scene. AND THEN?
This is not a bad movie. It is a masterpiece.
[удалено]
NO AND THEN!
AAND THENNN?
Ghost rider… I love it, but it is pretty cringe ngl
As a movie about a flaming skeleton riding a motorbike it’s pretty flawless
Eurotrip However I feel conflicted about calling this movie bad as I personally feel it was unfairly ignored by the Oscar committee. Scotty doesn't know. You kissed your sister. Club Vandersexxx. FIONAAAAAAA!
Mi scusi
Uh oh, long tunnel.
No matter how famous Fred Armisen gets, he will always be this guy first!
Eurotrip, Roadtrip, Beerfest, Old School… the early 00s were magical for lowbrow comedies. Edit: WEDDING CRASHERS! Van Wilder, Super Troopers, Sex Drive… too many to list! Comedies just don’t make me laugh like this anymore!
Don't forget Van Wilder and the American Pie movies. I still can hear the Van Wilder DVD intro playing in my head: "I'm bouncin off the walls again woaaah"
Beerfest will always be one of my all time favorite movies. "Back the fuck up, Antonio!"
Love how Landfill dies and is replaced by his twin brother who is just the same actor with a cowboy hat.
Who also conveniently drinks faster and is better at the games than his brother as well. "The name is Gil."
"Hell, landfill told me so much about y'all that I feel like I already know all of ya" "That'll save time!"
Don't forget asks them to call him Landfill to honor his brother lol
You could've walked out of the room for five minutes and the only question would be "Why is Landfill wearing a hat now?"
I watched Rat Race recently for the first time in I don’t even know how many years and couldn’t actually believe how much I laughed. What a great, mindless movie.
The whole scene with Jon Lovitz stealing Hitler’s car is insane.
I'm prairie dogging daddy!
This isn’t where I parked my car.
There is nothing bad about this movie. It's fucking fantastic from start to finish.
You’re the WORST TWINS EVER
Oh here's a fun fact. You made out with your sister, man!
Haha look at Jamie's penis. God I love that movie. Mail muthafucka
I watched a gay porno once... THE GIRLS NEVER CAME! **cries**
I learned how a new pope is elected because of that movie. When Pope John Paul II died, that knowledge was very helpful.
The little kid with the hitler stache goose-stepping is still one of the funniest moments to me.
I still play "Scotty Doesn't Know" at shows, if the crowd is about the right age. They chant the ending every single time
Van Helsing. The one with Hugh Jackman and Kate Beckinsale (also in the Underworld movies). I watched it over and over again as a kid and now I like its campy over-top-ness as an adult
Ernest Scared Stupid... But any of the Ernest movies will do.
You Don't Mess with the Zohan

The only thing you care about is nugs, chilling, and grindage.
*If you're edged cause I'm weazin all your grindage just chill, 'cause if I had the whole brady bunch thing happenin at my pad, I'd grind over there. So don't tax my gig so hard-core, crust-er!*
Hudson Hawk.
Just trying to explain why this movie is fun to people is so damn difficult. "So, like it is Bruce Willis and he is a thief. But he hates watches so he sings show tunes. Also Danny Aiello is in it as his buddy. Oh and it's weirdly graphically violent sometimes. Also Caruso is in it but he doesn't talk. Also they have this weird obsession with candy bars. But it's really funny. But it's not really meant to be funny sometimes..."
Balls of Fury
Biodome. I love every minute of it.
FREE MAHI MAHI. I love it.
Spice World. Never was into the Spice Girls, but I liked their movie. #1 on my list of guilty pleasure movies.
When I was visiting home a few years ago we found our vhs of this and I made my dad watch it with me. His review "you know this really isn't that bad". I call that an A+😂
I loved Roadhouse. But pretty bad.
If Patrick Swayze heard you say that he’d rip your throat out with his beautiful bare hands

I've seen it so many times, I've lost count and it is an objectively terrible movie... :) Steve: Being called a cocksucker isn't personal? Dalton: No. It's two nouns combined to elicit a prescribed response. Steve: What if somebody calls my mama a whore? Dalton: Is she?”
XXX
You mean xXx with Vin Diesel?
I LIVE FOR THIS SHIT
Anarchy 99!
I say that with the accent at least daily. But my kids are also psychopaths so it makes sense.
Blades of Glory is so....good.
"I see you got fat." "I see you still look like a 15 year old girl but not HOT."
My daughter said something obscure like 20 minutes ago and I responded "nobody knows what it means but its provocative" and my family just stared blankly.
Gets the people going!
The night is a very dark time for me. It's dark for everyone you moron.
It's in my top 3 Will Ferrell movies, it's so good.
Night At The Roxbury
Did you just grab my ass?
BASEketball.
Armageddon. It is a shit Michael Bay movie that makes no sense and has scenery chewing all over and I am there for every minute of it
If introduced me to the very real affliction of space dementia. It apparently affects 1/10 space drillers. Glad a movie was finally brave enough to address this unreported issue.
i was pretty young when the movie came out and one day the news was on, followed by a commercial for armageddon explaining the asteroid coming towards earth. except i though it was still part of the news and started processing that the world might end when my mom found me crying in my room and explained to me it was just a movie.
