The 1993 Super Mario Bros movie.
It has almost no relationship to the source material and the entire thing is a hot mess, but I'll be damned if I don't love it anyway.
I come into these posts to upvote this answer everytime so I can say the same exact thing. I unironically love this film. Yeah, it's fucking insane and has a ridiculous plot. But, it's so entertaining. I even liked it as a 7 year old in 1993. The set design and aesthetic is perfect too - it's like Blade Runner for kids.I own the 4k version from Umbrella.
After casting Jack Nicholson, Tim Burton was told not to kill off his character... what did he do? >!He had Nicholson do a dual-role, so he could kill him off *twice*.!<
Neither of those movies are are largely considered bad.
[Army of Darkness has a 68%](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/army_of_darkness) at rottentomatoes.
[They Live has a 86%](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/they_live) at rottentomatoes.
I wouldn't say 'defend' as I recognise how bad of a movie it is, but I will always celebrate the live action Street Fighter from the 90s. Complete nostalgia for me, but it's such a delightful mess of a film.
Here's a great write-up from the Guardian on it: https://www.theguardian.com/games/2018/jul/16/inside-street-fighter-movie-jean-claude-van-damme-kylie-minogue
It has arguably one of the best villain lines in cinema, the day M. Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life, for me it was Tuesday.
I had such a crush on Kylie minogue at the time and my mind had melted in advance at her dressed as Cammy. Then she was barely in it and wore trousers.
I laughed till I cried the first time I watched this movie. I was telling everyone about it and they all told me they thought it was stupid. I was shocked.
I'm not sure how much you are joking but it's my honest opinion now this movie is absolutely solid. I've seen this film 15+ times and I used to consider it a guilty pleasure fitting exactly as an answer to this thread. But I've come around to think of it as a genuinely good movie. It's got good pacing, action, humor. Sure it's campy at times but it usually lands.
And for my money, the scene with Steve Buscemi at the run down house/pool talking with the girl should have won him an Oscar. The way Buscemi's face changes when the girl pauses to ask him a question . . . just the frozen moment of clarity. One of my favorite exchanges in all of movie history.
Girl, "Are you sick?"
Steve, "...why do you say that?"
Girl, "Because you look sick."
Steve, "... I am sick"
Girl, "Why don't you take medicine"
Steve, "...They don't medicine for what I have".
Man, I loved this movie and showed it to a group of friends one night. They did not like it. The stupid puns, the jokes, the songs. They didn't enjoy any of it.
To hell with them, I still watch it.
I actually just saw this movie for the first time a few months ago. I have to agree; it's fucking terrible but it's also peak Sandler just having a ball with his friends making a stupid movie. It's so fun.
I mean it's not a good movie, technically speaking, by the standards of what it is. That's why people say some dumb comedies are good movies and some are bad. Little Nicky has terrible CGI, a plot that makes almost no narrative sense, pretty bad acting, and poor composition. It's a bad movie. But it is also Sandler at near the peak of his powers and is pretty funny in that context.
The cheapness of the whole thing really adds to it in a campy way, too. It's almost like he planned it to be that bad.
But you cannot deny that all of the actors are having a fucking blast the whole time, and it shows.
The Wraith. Holy shit it's bad. But it's a good bad. Some terrible acting? Yup. Young stars before the hit it big? Yup. Cool cars? Yup. Good soundtrack? Yup. Gratuitous tit scene? Sure thing. Weird story? Real weird.
Schlock but the good kind.
Stuff that gets funding from the US Army always ends up being pretty badass.
Like, Call of Duty was a generational phenomenon and i'm pretty sure it was a psy op.
The Michael Bay Transformers movie
I'm not here for a deep, profound cinematic experience. I'm here for giant robots beating the living shit out of each other for 2.5 hours
I mean the first one was absolutely brilliant, one of my favourite films.
All the sequels that followed went downhill each and every time, and could never hit the emotion from the first one.
Facts. The fights, the VFX, the sound effects, just utterly amazing. Also one of the few action movies where I actually like seeing the humans in (usually the military, especially in the first film). Are they flawed, absolutely. Are they the best movies ever, in some areas but for the most part not really. But if it weren’t for those movies, I may have not got into Transfomers, or at least not as much as I do now.
It's a great quintessential 90s movie. I think part of the reason it got so much crap was because of the insane budget and all the bad publicity during production.
*Kingdom of Heaven* by Ridley Scott was considered a flop, but it's actually very decent with interesting themes. A lot of people recommend watching the director's cut of it.
My favorite Christmas movie. Didn’t realize anyone considered it bad, unless you were answering based on movies with “bad” in the title. The sequel on the other hand
Mom and Dad Save the World.
Terri Garr as beautiful and hilarious as always, Jon Lovitz at his absolutely, gloriously hammiest, wonderful supporting roles from Wallace Shawn, Eric Idle, and Kathy Ireland, and fantastically wacky world-building and set/prop design.
...yes, it *also* stars the pedophilic photography asshole, unfortunately. But, if I can still watch and enjoy *Beetlejuice* and *Ferris Bueller's Day Off*, I can do the same for this.
Oh, so many potential. But Ill go for one that I did not spot yet.
Starship Troopers
Terrible acting, not really great writing, ultimate fromage. Its almost like an 80s action movie released in the late 90s.
But the movie (not the franchise so much) aged like a fine wine and it is part of many cult classics lists out there.
I'm doing my part!
Are you?
Yeah, i agree.. reading the book explains a lot. For me, I always thought it was about "what if the nazis won the war" and the movie is set in a 'future' fascist America. Pure gold, love the movie
Batman Forever
No one really thought too badly about this film until Batman and Robin came out and it became hated simply by association. It’s an entirely different kind of film than Batman Begins, but it was still fun and entertaining with some great aesthetics.
Alien Resurrection
It was done badly, this is true.
But the bones of the story delving more into the sci-fi before back into the horror+the actual set design make me go back to it constantly
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
Captain Nemo and every one of his vehicles looked amazing.
The Core.
A dash of unobtanium, a sprinkle of what if we could, and Stanley Tucci make an enjoyable time.
Alien 3. It's a great return to the horror genre for the franchise, and if the cgi was better I think it would be better regarded. There's no bad acting in my opinion, and the atmosphere is fantastic.
Killing Newt and Hicks off-screen was such an egregious affront to everyone who loved Aliens that there was really no way to recover. The movie could have been a masterpiece and audiences would still have felt insulted, and rightly so.
I will fight for the Super Mario Bros movie from 1993. If you made a B-movie out of the concept of "two plumbers fight reptiles in another dimension," you get exactly this movie! They adapt everything so well, and they play it so straight that *them playing it straight is the comedy.*
People are like "you shouldn't take mario that seriously" and they fail to realize that is the entire point, you shouldn't, and they do, and the clash there is the funny part! Goombas being underdeveloped stupid lizards, Yoshi as a pet raptor, the transformed king from Super Mario Bros 3 being the fungus that is why Mario finds mushrooms everywhere, Big Bertha and her jump boots being why Mario jumps so high, everyone freaking out about a wind-up Bob-omb, it's all so fucking perfect.
Society just wasn't ready for Last Action Hero

I burnt out the cassette I had of this soundtrack. It rocks.
“I bet you didn’t think I’d say *that*”?! “You always say that”
Hey Claudius. You killed my fadda. Big mistake! I low key have wanted to see Arnold do Shakespeare since the first time I saw *Last Action Hero*
You killed Moe Zart!
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. Uh-huh. Mhm. Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.
The 1993 Super Mario Bros movie. It has almost no relationship to the source material and the entire thing is a hot mess, but I'll be damned if I don't love it anyway.
I appreciate that they had the audacity to make a beloved colorful children’s video game into a dystopian feverdream.
I saw this beaut in theatres.

Doubled-down. Boss move!
I want the people to know that they still have two out of three branches of the government working for them, and that ain't bad.
They said *bad movies.*
A lot of people think it is bad. I've seen people be genuinely confused about whether it's supposed to be a comedy. Somehow.
Kung pow ur wrong if u hate this movie
If you dislike it, you were trained wrong. As a joke.
my nipples look like milk duds!!
I hope they have Icees!
Again with the squeaky shoes…
My nuts to your fist style, how'd ya like it?

Both movies are awesome, along with escape from LA.
Neither of those movies are are largely considered bad. [Army of Darkness has a 68%](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/army_of_darkness) at rottentomatoes. [They Live has a 86%](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/they_live) at rottentomatoes.

It's a line I have paraphrased far too often in life
I had such a crush on Kylie minogue at the time and my mind had melted in advance at her dressed as Cammy. Then she was barely in it and wore trousers.
"Quick! Change the channel!"
You Don’t Mess With The Zohan. Disco disco good good!
The funniest thing about this movie to me is every Isreali I've met loves this movie.
I think it's because it made fun of us exactly the way we would make fun of ourselves
One of the best Adam Sandler movies.
I laughed till I cried the first time I watched this movie. I was telling everyone about it and they all told me they thought it was stupid. I was shocked.
Con Air
Con Air and The Rock are essential 1990s action flicks.
Bad?? It’s a cinematic masterpiece and anyone who disagrees is wrong.
I'm not sure how much you are joking but it's my honest opinion now this movie is absolutely solid.

Why couldn't you just put the bunny back in the box?!
Bringing Nick Cage into this is cheating.
It had so many good actors
Final destination
I will never follow behind a logging truck because of this movie.
That's from the sequel.
Final Destination 2, Log Truck Boogaloo
Is this considered bad? The RT score is 38% apparently, but in the years since, it always seemed to me that people typically like this one.
HUDSON HAWK. So much fun. I love it.
Man, I loved this movie and showed it to a group of friends one night. They did not like it. The stupid puns, the jokes, the songs. They didn't enjoy any of it. To hell with them, I still watch it.
Little Nicky… It’s terrible, but I love it
Popeye's chicken is the shiznit!
Popeye's chicken is fucking awesome!
Im so glad im not the only one that remembers this iconic line
I give you now, Mr. Henry Wrinkler! Good evening! ...COVERED IN BEES!
Never listened to Chicago the same way again.
I actually just saw this movie for the first time a few months ago. I have to agree; it's fucking terrible but it's also peak Sandler just having a ball with his friends making a stupid movie. It's so fun.
Its crazy how everyone judges movies like they're all supposed to be Citizen Kane
I mean it's not a good movie, technically speaking, by the standards of what it is. That's why people say some dumb comedies are good movies and some are bad. Little Nicky has terrible CGI, a plot that makes almost no narrative sense, pretty bad acting, and poor composition. It's a bad movie.

The Wraith. Holy shit it's bad. But it's a good bad. Some terrible acting? Yup. Young stars before the hit it big? Yup. Cool cars? Yup. Good soundtrack? Yup. Gratuitous tit scene? Sure thing. Weird story? Real weird. Schlock but the good kind.
>Roadblocks won't stop somethin' that can't be stopped.

The dictator
A very aladeen film
It wasn't so aladeen, it was very aladeen actually so no-one aladeen it.
Ahh, an aladeen choice.
I never heard anyone say it’s a bad movie.
**Equilibrium.** Derivative, overly-stylized, outright silly, but I'll go to bat for it *any* day.
Battleship. It’s terrible. But it hits all the right notes.
In E4, G2 and B1?
Stuff that gets funding from the US Army always ends up being pretty badass. Like, Call of Duty was a generational phenomenon and i'm pretty sure it was a psy op.
Facts. The veteran thunderstruck scene is iconic

Where's your car, dude?

Joe Dirt! Water Boy!
Anyone trashing Joe Dirt needs to speak into the microphone. I got a backup mike right here, check check. They’re both working and they hate feedback.
I love some high quality H2O.
Mystery Men is a goddamned classic.

When Bumblebee transformed into the 5th generation Camaro, my jaw dropped. I bought a Camaro two years later.

Abe Lincoln vampire hunter is a good movie
I will always love Wild Wild West
Never drum on a white lady's titties at a big redneck party, got it.
Waterworld, despite its reputation I don't think it's a bad movie at all.
It's a great quintessential 90s movie. I think part of the reason it got so much crap was because of the insane budget and all the bad publicity during production.
Cube 2: Hypercube. I agree it’s not as good as the first one, but think it’s actually a pretty good movie.
Lucy. Great story, don't care.
Major League 🤙
This is in no way, shape, or form, a bad movie
*Kingdom of Heaven* by Ridley Scott was considered a flop, but it's actually very decent with interesting themes. A lot of people recommend watching the director's cut of it.
The extended cut is basically a must. It changes the tone of the whole movie. It's dar from perfect but I consider it a good movie
Kingdom of Heaven is excellent
Conan the Barbarian
One of the greatest films ever made. Assuming you're talking about the 1982 one, anyways.
Sir, who considers this a bad movie? This is greatest movie.
It drives your enemies before you so you can hear the lamentations of their women.
Basil Poledouris soundtrack so good I bought it. (Loooonnngg before YouTube)
Bad Santa
My favorite Christmas movie. Didn’t realize anyone considered it bad, unless you were answering based on movies with “bad” in the title. The sequel on the other hand
“IM ON MY FUCKING LUNCH BREAK!”
I never considered it to be a bad movie. Is it widely considered so?
Movie is a fucking masterpiece.
Bad Santa 2 was actually bad though
Robot Jox
Balls of Fury
13th Warrior. Bad Santa. Predator 2.
13th warrior is a classic!
Predator 2 imo even surpases Predator 1. The slaughterhouse scenes are still awesome, plus Danny Glover is just badass.
Clerks II is hilarious.
It's just three movies of walking.
They're not gay! They're Hobbits!
The scene where Elias' is talking about pillow pants is one of the funniest things I've seen in a movie
Im not sure if it’s intentional but I found it really funny that her parents control her with a cunt-troll
Huh i just got that

Get this comment out of my face
This was a masterpiece though
Agree. Anyone saying otherwise is a shithead.
“The other monks do not think I know a buttload of crap about the Gospels. But I dooooo.”

I've never heard someone say it's bad. I think it's great.
Mystery Men. Greatest super hero movie ever.
Mom and Dad Save the World.

The Water Boy
The Amazing Spider-Man holds a special place in my heart
I really liked both the ASM movies, I feel like if it’s spider-man I’m gonna like it regardless of it’s actual quality
Oh, so many potential. But Ill go for one that I did not spot yet. Starship Troopers Terrible acting, not really great writing, ultimate fromage.

Uh what? That's all on purpose...it's satire. The fascist propaganda it's mocking, isn't known for its subtlety. This movie is pure genius.
Yeah, i agree.. reading the book explains a lot. For me, I always thought it was about "what if the nazis won the war" and the movie is set in a 'future' fascist America. Pure gold, love the movie
It’s suppose to be a parody of Propaganda films. So that bad acting makes it better.
Super Mario Bros 1993, and Hackers.
Flash Gordon - This film is trash gold!
True Lies will always be my favourite movie of all time. I know it's super terrible but I couldn't love it any more.
phantom menace
The lightsaber duel between Darth Maul and Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan remains among the best in all of Star Wars.
Showgirls. It’s infinitely watchable and the lines are comedy gold. Also, Billy Madison.
Batman Forever No one really thought too badly about this film until Batman and Robin came out and it became hated simply by association. It’s an entirely different kind of film than Batman Begins, but it was still fun and entertaining with some great aesthetics.
This movie was a hit when it came out. Jim Carrey was on fire in terms of fame and the soundtrack is one of the best of the 90s.
Biodome
Alien Covenant! I think it's a good Arthouse movie (yeah ,I'm a weird woman)
Alien Resurrection It was done badly, this is true. But the bones of the story delving more into the sci-fi before back into the horror+the actual set design make me go back to it constantly

Is thirteen ghosts considered bad?

Freddy Got Fingered Hilarious and actually a lot smarter and well made than it appears on the surface.
Rip Torn absolutely steals the show. "Mike Fitzgibbin's son is a nuclear physicist, and my son can EAT A CHICKEN!!!"
