Peter Jackson's first few films - Bad Taste and Braindead. A good laugh but too ridiculous for most people.

I actually enjoy the really dumb comedies...ie- Scary Movie series and etc.

I also loved the movie Lock up, back in the day that was pretty epic imo..watched it recently, it held up.

The Replacements with K Reeves was funny and I enjoyed it quite a bit. Obvious ending and plot but still decent.

I quite like Jason Statham movies when I'm bored. Crank is a favourite.

Also, big fan of The Condemned with Steve Austin :lol:

Anything Stone Cold is awesome. Two reasons Expendables 2 sucked was they ditched Austin and Jet Li.

Masters of the Universe movie.

It's my earliest memory of going to the cinema (would've been 5 going on 6 at the time), and absolutely loved it! So disappointed that Skeletor never was able to live up to his post-credits promise of coming back!

Its relative.

It was after Clerks, it wasnt Clerks, people caned it and those who claim to be K Smith fans say it is the worst he has made...... Clearly they havent seen Jersey Girl.

Add Clerks 2 to the same thoughts as Mallrats. I think its great, every one I have spoken to about it said they hated it.

I am more than happy to concede that it is a good flick.

According to IMDB it is rated 7.1, so I may be wrong, but the metacritic score is 41/100.....

Mallrats would suck...if Jason Lee didn't tie the whole movie together as well as he did.

Clerks 2 is pretty ordinary. Elias was a good character, the rest of the film was pretty drab right through to the 1979 conflict montage.

Godzilla, not that Hollywood trash, the Japanese movies in all their cheap ass glory. They never get old.

I don't mind the remake of Bedazzled starring Brendon Frasier and Liz Hurley.

Very simple story about staying true to yourself but it's clear the cast had a ton of fun with each scenario and the punchline to each wish was pretty solid.

Joe Dirt is another film from around the same period which to me was actually a solid film. Spade seems pretty hated these days and only seems to receive credit for his collaborations with Farley but I thought Dirt was a fun redneck version of Forest Gump.

I like that one too, Pete. Monkeybone is another Brendan Frasier one I can watch again and again.
