Monster house
Garth Marenghi’s dark place, rifftrax/mst3k, Young Frankenstein, duck soup, Joe Bob’s has a bunch of shlocky horror movies mixed in with classics they do intros and interrupts like the old public access/cable monster movies
Kung Fury
Nudist Colony of the Dead is awful and fantastic at the same time. I love getting a friend to go into the movie blind.
Tap for spoiler
It’s fucking hilarious watching someone slowly realize that they’re watching a super low budget movie musical that’s a musical about a bunch of religious types getting murdered by ‘nudist’ zombies (that basically have the equivalent of fig leaf clothing).
The day I got my best bud fucking blazed out of his mind to watch it has to be one of my favorite experiences.
The Fast and the Furious series.
So dumb. So macho. So entertaining.
The Evil Dead trilogy.
A younger friend of mine had started playing the Evil Dead game with some of his friends but had never seen the movies. I’d not watched them in years, so I invited him over to marathon them one weekend. We drank, ate pizza and did the whole trilogy, and we had an absolute blast. He loved how different each movie was, especially Heart of Darkness. How each one gets sillier than the last.
A few months later, Evil Dead Rise came out in the cinema, so we had to go see it. While this was much more a straight up horror movie (with a small amount of the Evil Dead silliness), I still enjoyed it (I find horror movies quite funny, like an emotional rollercoaster), but he was hiding behind his coat the whole time, terrified of what was happening on screen. That made it even funnier for me.
I’ll only list stuff I haven’t seen others mention:
- Hot Rod (2007)
- Dude, Where’s My Car (2000)
- Step Brothers (2008)
- Nacho Libre (2006)
- Grimsby (2016)
- Swiss Army Man (2016)
- This is the End (2013)
- Tim And Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie (2012)
Billion Dollar Movie is quite the experience
The “Bill and Ted” trilogy.
Young Einstein
Tucker and Dale vs evil is a over the top gory comedy slasher and I loved it when I watched it as a teen. It may not have aged well though
Other fan favorites are zoolander and tropic thunder
Hot Fuzz is plain stupid but so fun. So is Taxi Taxi, if you’ve never seen it.
I love Iron Sky for this. Nazis on the moon. It’s satire all the way through. Such a goofy film but a lot of fun.
- Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)
- Battle Beyond the Stars (1980)
- Time Bandits (1981)
- The Dark Crystal (1982)
- Krull (1983)
- Brazil (1985)
- Big Trouble in Little China (1986)
- The Princess Bride (1987)
Any one of these are both campy and thought provoking.
Super Troopers
Olympus Has Fallen
London Has Fallen
The plot is so ridiculous, its actually comedic.
spoiler
In Olympus Has Fallen, North Korea invades the US 🤭 Absolutely ridiculous, but fun to watch. (Maybe not that ridiculous tho, considering the current administration’s incompetency 👀)
If you haven’t seen Angel has fallen - rectify this immediately. I’m fairly certain that Nolte just wandered on set wearing his own clothes and they were like, “Great! Let’s shoot!”
