All the transformers movies, as well as pacific rim. There's a part of me that will never not enjoy watching giant robots fight each other, or giant robots fighting giant monsters, no matter how poor every other thing in the movies are.

2012. Ridiculous number of near misses and some weak acting but I find it watchable if it's on.

Resident Evil. Crap but good, just like zombie films should be.

Napoleon Dynamite.

People tell me it's great in it's own right. Personally, I think everything that makes it pretty awful in turn make it very watchable. The acting throughout is awful, and the plot comes across as a variety of sketches rather than a linear story. I've watched it about 10 times though, and it's always funny, even though I wouldn't say it is a good film.

Transformers dark of the moon.

Alien vs Predator.

The first one I enjoyed, but Requiem was garbage.

Me too. Second one is god awful and the first one is goofy but fun though.
Been talk of a 3rd one for years...but apparently it takes ages to write the scripts as they like to be factually correct in terms of myths, legends, etc...

Just fecking make the cnut...

I'm told that both Boondock Saints movies are actually terrible but I think they're the best movies of all time.

As much as I dislike Con Air...The Boondocks Saints is the most vile, worthless piece of juvenile crap ever to get a cinematic release. What did you like about that movie?
:lol:

I'm not sure really. Something I could enjoy with minimal (or zero) brain activity I guess. The terrible Irish accents are fascinating.

Titanic was terrible.
It's almost comedic in the dialogue between the 2 protagonists.
Watchable for the cinematic effects and other actors iirc
Worth sitting through three hours of dross purely for this near the end

Alien vs Predator.

The first one I enjoyed, but Requiem was garbage.
The only thing I remember from AVP was when they're trying to convince the main woman to stay and the dialogue is something along the lines of

"What if we show you pictures of our kids?"
"Nope, still leaving"
"Well what if we show you pictures of other peoples' kids"

I sat there for ages trying to work out if they'd actually said it.

Oh and Fast and Furious. The first one is brilliant on it's own. The second one is very good. The third was one of the worst films I've ever seen in my life and it remained terrible from then on, just getting more and more ridiculous culminating in the planet wide runway for the end sequence in 6.

:lol: Yes!

That was in the first 3rd of the film and I remember thinking these reviews are going to be right, aren't they? Things aren't looking good. Once the Predators landed and the Aliens birthed I really enjoyed the film from then on. I thought the main woman was decent, and I liked Lance Henriksen in it (nice call back) but every other human you were just waiting for them to die to be honest.

The Police academy series (perhaps not 5-7)

Anything with Jim Belushi in.

Anything from the 80s that has Chicago/Survivor in the soundtrack to be used in a montage.

Van Damme movies.

Steven Segal before he got massively fat movies.

The Leprechaun series, even the one in da hood, brap brap.

Most of the British films Danny Dyer stared in before becoming Peggy Mitchell.

Jason Stathams angry potato films.
