Big Lebowski.
Alcoholic stoner on the search for a new rug and gets caught up in a fake kidnapping.
Shut the fuck up Donny
Monty Python And The Holy Grail
The Blues Brothers (1980) or Clue.
Clue is legit one of my favorites
City of Lost Children (1995)
A carnival strongman teams up with a young orphan girl to rescue his little brother from a mad scientist who kidnaps children to steal their dreams in the hope that it will stop him aging.It’s completely nuts but the surreal visual style and editing makes it pretty fun to watch.
Pacific Rim. Building giant robots to fight large creatures… Ridiculous, but fantastic film!
Bubba Ho-Tep. Nursing home Elvis fights the Mummy? Silly as hell. But they nailed it.
Saw this at a screening in DC. Bruce Campbell was there for a post movie Q&A.
That’s awesome! I heard that his only question before saying yes to the role was whether or not you’d see Elvis’s penis.
Don’t remember him talking about that, but I do remember him being asked about making another Evil Dead movie. His answer was, “you’ll have to get Sam to walk away from his multimillion dollar checks for making Spider-Man movies long enough to do another Evil Dead, but I’d be all for it!”
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. I’m a sucker for films that go balls to the wall on a style.
I love this movie so much for exactly the same reason
Tropic Thunder! My favorite comedy. It’s so stupid but so funny.
- Hudson Hawk
- Kentucky Fried Movie (multiple stupid plots)
- Airplane 2 (1 actually had pretty common “disaster movie” plot for the time)
- Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure
Airplane 2 (1 actually had pretty common “disaster movie” plot for the time)
Your fun trivia fact for the day is that Airplane! was actually a remake of a 1950s plane disaster movie called Zero Hour! Same plot, even long stretches where they go same plot points and sometimes even shot for shot…
Airplane! just had a tonal change caused by throwing a bunch of ridiculous gags in, essentially becoming a parody of its origin movie.
If you need a YouTube rabbit hole to fill a couple of hours of dead time at some point, well, there you go.
Space Balls
Dude, where’s my car
Dude, where’s your car?
What’s Up Tiger Lily
Allen took footage from a Japanese spy film, International Secret Police: Key of Keys (1965), and overdubbed it with completely original dialogue that had nothing to do with the plot of the original film. He both put in new scenes and rearranged the order of existing scenes, producing a one-hour movie from the 93 minutes of the original film. He completely changed the tone of the film from a James Bond clone into a comedy about the search for the world’s best egg salad recipe.
Hackers 1995.
Any movie done in Hollywood has a shitty plot in the last 30 years.
Action movies, many of which I enjoy, are the worst offenders.
Change my mind.
LorR trilogy had a decent plot, and is widely considered some of the best films ever made. The less said about The Hobbit the better, other than reminding people that The Hobbit is how Hollywood killed off the New Zealand version of SAG.
Armageddon! Basically an excuse to have rednecks in space.
