Hmm I think there is something wrong here. Star Trek 4? Starship Troopers? Pitch Black? These are actually good movies. Mars Attacks is debateble since it knew what it was doing from the get go.
I'm in the mindset of actual bad movies that people like. Like something you would find on Sci Fi channel or late night comedy central.

Also, Barry Gordy's Last Dragon. A black inner city youth who idolizes Bruce Lee and is a martial artist? A group of chinese immigrants speaking like they just got out of a terrible rap concert? A showdown with the Shogun of Harlem?
I love love love Real Genius. Really fun geeky comedy from 1985, with Val Kilmer as an asshole supergenius physics student, William Atherton as his stuck-up dean, and a plan to create a super powerful laser.
Oh, and...
Upon whom I had a massive crush.
That actress played the "fat girl" from Revenge of the Nerds a year prior.
But yes I was madly in love with Jordan too when I was in my early teens.

every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.
Scrooge businessman Hogan gets a bump on the head and wakes up believing he is Santa and attempts to rescue an orphanage from a mad scientist. It is absolutely terrible, making it brilliant fun to watch with some friends while you search for all the absurdities.
Features? A huge orphanage that only contains 2 staff members and 3 children. Hogan falling onto concrete and being fine, later he falls a similar distance into soft materials like cardboard boxes and is knocked out cold. A mock lightsabre battle using magical crystals that turn out to explode. The orphanage he is trying to save being blown up by said crystals after he has 'saved' it. The orphanage then appears briefly, fully intact, in a shot later in the movie.
I highly recommend it, if you can find it.
Oh, and the tag line? 'He arrived in the St. Nick of time.'

Chris Knight: Was it a dream where you see yourself standing in sort of sun-god robes on a pyramid with a thousand naked women screaming and throwing little pickles at you?
Mitch: No...
Chris Knight: Why am I the only one who has that dream?
Also, Oscar and Noises Off are great if you like farces.

Mine have already been mentioned, but I love Demolition Man and Starship Troopers. They both try so hard to live up to their genre and fail spectacularly, but I can't turn either off if it is on TV.
They tried to bury us. They didn't know that we were seeds.2018 Midterms. Get your shit together.

I like Demolition Man and Judge Dredd quite a bit as well. Stallone actually seems like a bit of a geek ( he was pissed about the crap that went down with Judge Dredd, for example). I hope he does another Sci Fi film before retiring.

I will watch just about anything with Jason Statham in it. And I am not ashamed. (Though Revolver was......different, and I've yet to see In the Name of the King.)
Crank and Crank 2 were, as far as I'm concerned, damned masterpieces of cinema. I applauded at Death Race. And I haven't even mentioned Snatch, Lock, Stock, or the Bank Job.
Big Trouble in Little China. It was a cinematic masterpiece. I will cut the first person who says different. My only disappointment is that they never did any more Jack Burton movies.

I had a long-running Shadowrunner based on Jack Burton.
My best friend pointed out to me last week that I quote at least one line from it on a daily basis. He said he couldn't tell if it was saddening or awesome.
And I'll add Cube to this thread. Six average people are trapped inside a killer obstacle course - a decade before Saw came out. The movie takes a nosedive in quality by the second half but the idea of people turning on each other in a sci fi setting is a good idea. Two more Cube movies were made that were awful but the original is tolerable and had more believable traps.

I loved Cube. Cube Two was horrible through and through, but I kind of enjoyed Cube Zero.

I've heard Rambo 4 was very good. In fact, I think the only people that hate on it are people who haven't seen it and ASSUME it's bad. I can't say either way because I still need to watch it.
I like Blade Trinity, if only because its one of Ryan Reynolds only action movies where he has more than like 2 lines.
"Also, just a thought, but you might wanna try blinking. ...sorry, I had a lot of sugar this morning."
Exactly, if someone cut that movie to just his scenes, it would be awesome.
Seriously I just want a Hannibal King movie (not night stalkers Biel's character was retarded).
The end of 3 had me more worried about the Hannibal v Triple H fight than the Blade/Dracula silliness.
3 was definitely the weakest of the trilogy, but still better than a lot of comprable films.
I honestly would have liked if they had done those fights entirely seperate (hannibal fights wins, and then flips to blade boring ass villain). That was Goyers directorial debut and he didn't do a good job. Decent writer but man he horsefucked direction.

Starship Troopers is way more self-aware and satirical than I thought it was when I first saw it as a teenager. It was on TV a few years ago, and I hadn't seen it in a long time, and I viewed as a complete parody of nationalism militarism. This may not be how everyone interprets it, but I'm pretty sure it's mocking the shit it purports to represent .

Anyone who's ever enjoyed a giant monster movies needs to see Q - The Winged Serpent.
It's about a re-incarnation of the Aztec flying serpent god Quetzalcoatl, who decides to nest inside the top of the Chrysler Building in NYC when he's not busy flapping around Manhattan and snatching sunbathing women off of rooftops. Michael "Oh, the first Law & Order DA" Moriarty plays a loser petty criminal who discovers the nest and tries to turn a profit on that news, and David Carradine and Richard "Shaft" Roundtree play incredibly sarcastic cops.
Or, if you'd like to watch in essence the whole movie in 2 1/2 minutes, here's the extended trailer:

Is this like a trick question or something? Ducktales has, is and always will be great.
I'd say Rambo 4, but that movie was fucking awesome and anyone who considers it bad needs to have stallone slowly and carefuly rip their throat out.

I really only enjoyed the parts with Kristen Bell. I hope she gets to do a good and entertaining musical at some point.

I did as well. It was amazingly expensive, though.
The Big Hit is a great one that someone mentioned on the first page.
One that I was surprised about when I watched it recently was "Don't Mess With The Zohan". Waaaaaaaay over-the-top but rings true. Funny, too.
