Herbie Fully Loaded

just love Herbie in general
 

ZEROpumpkins 03.13.2008 05:39 PM

lol @ atsonicpark and all the porn flicks he listed.

As for me, I'd go with Zoolander, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, Evil Dead Two and Superbad.

[quote=atsonicpark]I'm not sure what you meant by "dumb movies", because I consider dumb movies stuff like the Matrix.. stuff with no appeal at all except clever marketing and a ridiculous "cool factor" (oh man, sunglasses and trenchcoats!). I also considered shit like Forrest Gump dumb: a retarded man conforms his whole life and does everything he can for America and the only person who opposes that happens to be a prostitute who gets AIDS and dies. All I learned from that movie is to conform and everything will be okay -- stand against the opposition and die!

I'm guessing you mean movies with bad acting, though. This is by no means a comprehensive list as I own over 800 movies that have probably seen 5 times that many that could be classified as "dumb but good":

[...]

EDIT: Oh, you clarified what you meant, "films that highbrow movie critics would think is dumb". Yeah, the above list fits then./quote]

ha ha. well i love "film" and this includes dumb crap.

just like atsonicpark i think forrest gump is dumb as shit movie feces, yet "the academy" gave it a bunch of oscars.

another dumbass movie: 300 -- dumb dumb as fuck

however, "dumb that's not dumb":

harold & kumar

wayne's world! good call there.

i dont know. it's confusing. i love a good b movie. i just hate forrest gump-like asswad "films".

ZEROpumpkins 03.13.2008 06:08 PM

Oh yeah. 300 was totally retarded. Another movie to cash in on the latest craze of "Epic battle" movies.

Forrest Gump, bored me to death.

ALIEN ANAL 03.13.2008 07:24 PM

the matrix was not a dumb movie
just because it was cool doesnt mean it was dumb sheesh

if i had photoshop id make a picture of a cowboy shooting INDIE-ans

Style 03.13.2008 07:55 PM

Manos: The Hands of Fate.

It's the most hilarious film when you watch it at 3am deprived of sleep and wired on caffeine.

EyeballGrowth 03.13.2008 09:32 PM

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ( the 1st one )

Neverending Story

Krull ( I know I'm gonna get attacked for this one )

The Wizard

Mostly stuff I loved as a kid that I can't get rid of. Although really stupid stuff too like Billy Madison or Kung Pow Enter the Fist.

anything by Stephen Chow - especially God of Cookery


Woah, Wayne's World isn't dumb, and holy shit Steven CHOW?? Yeah his early films like God of Cookery, but there is nothing dumb about Shaolin Soccer or Kung Fu Hustle. Unless by dumb you mean epic. Kung Fu Hustle is one of my all time favorite films

pantophobia 03.13.2008 09:42 PM

DC Cab, a mess of a movie but just enjoyable

flophousefloozie 03.13.2008 09:47 PM

Teen Wolf.


Hands down.

LifeDistortion 03.13.2008 09:48 PM

The Naked Gun

Pax Americana 03.13.2008 10:13 PM

One of my very favorite Mystery Science Theatre 3000 episodes is the one where they watch Manos. It's fucking hilarious!

Wayne's World though? C'mon people, that's a great movie!

Let's see...

A Knight's Tale (this movie is on tv constantly and I always seem to watch it. It's corny as hell, but whatever)

The Fifth Element (everyone seems to hate this movie, but I think it's pretty rad)

Zoolander

Army of Darkness (pretty much every Bruce Campbell movie is awesome)

The Waterboy

There's probably a lot more that aren't coming to mind.

atsonicpark 03.13.2008 10:17 PM

I didn't list any porn flicks, zeropumpkins. What are you talking about?

And regarding the matrix: revolutions and reloaded are the most devoid-of-substance films ever.

Also, I listed manos already. I guess it got lost in my big list of movies, but yeah.

Did I list rock n roll nightmare? That's the automatic # 1 dumbest movie ever that I love..

pbradley 03.13.2008 11:01 PM

Airplane!, The Party, The Naked Gun movies, the sillier James Bond movies, ridiculous splatter films in Dead Alive

atsonicpark 03.14.2008 02:32 AM

i didn't list dead alive because it is really really intelligent...

dumb DUMB movie, but had me cracking up at parts...

Jennifer: You know, Justin might be a little kid, Kip... but he's got more balls than you'll ever have.
Kip: What, like three?

I know, but I still laughed.

Note: When finished with this here, please file under "last movie you watched" thread.
