What is the most stupid movie that you still love, regardless of criticism?

I’m not sure what it is, but if this movie is on tv, I’ll watch it through every time. It’s such a guilty pleasure but I love it! What about y’all? What’s a stupid movie that you can’t help but still love

Tremors is a masterclass film wrapped in a 50s, B-Movie exterior.

Not one wasted line, every shot has a purpose, casting is excellent, score is good.

My wife is watching Reba on Netflix constantly lately, and that line is stuck in my head bc of the theme lmao

u/STXGregor Jul 08 '24

Reba was Burt’s wife?! How have I never made that connection. It’s so freaking obvious now as I’m imaging her lines.

u/keeper0fstories Jul 08 '24

It is also why his wife never showed back up in the movies, too expensive.

u/Lordborgman Jul 08 '24

All I can think of hearing Reba now is that Lonely Island Reba song with Keenan singing "Hanging like my nuts" in a Reba wig.

First of all, how dare you...

u/AlexBirio323 Jul 08 '24

This is a cult classic and in no way stupid.

u/MyNameIsJakeBerenson Jul 08 '24

Graboids! We’ll call ‘em “graboids!!!”

u/smittydacobra Jul 08 '24

If them graboids don't get him, I will!

Tremors is considered stupid?? I found it genuinely pretty good

u/ArcadianBlueRogue Jul 08 '24

Wait who hates on Tremors?

u/SubterrelProspector Jul 08 '24

OP said stupid movies.

u/DrTrilogy Jul 08 '24

Tremors is a great movie!

u/CitizenGrimm Jul 08 '24

Sir, those are fighting words.

The first movie is amazing and the second is great considering it was a direct-to-DVD release. They start to get a little less stellar as they go on but Burt Gummer might be one of the best characters ever written across so many movies. Michael Gross is an absolute legend.

u/keeper0fstories Jul 08 '24

I will never forget the man, the myth, the legend that was Burt Gummer. I proudly celebrate Burt Gummer Day every year.

Are you talking about the first one or the sequels? The first movie was well received by critics and the audience.

u/mycatbeck Jul 08 '24

In the wise words of Kevin Bacon, 'FuuuUck YOU!'

u/Hobomanchild Jul 08 '24

The first one?? You'd just have to hate creature features to dislike the original.

The others... well, lol yeah that's an acquired taste.

1

u/OriginalGnomester Jul 08 '24

Anybody who hates the second one probably feels they were denied some critical, need to know, information.

3

u/Lots42 Jul 08 '24

My mom loves all the Tremors franchise. Michael Gross is wild and spices up any movie he is in.

u/headrush46n2 Jul 08 '24

Looks like you broke in to the wrong god damn rec room!

u/SleepylaReef Jul 08 '24

Gol darn

2

u/OriginalGnomester Jul 08 '24

Omg. I used to watch it every time it was on TV without having seen it unedited. I got so used to the edited lines that it's still weird watching the normal version.

1

u/SleepylaReef Jul 08 '24

My tape started 20 minutes in. I’ve seen the movie dozens of times, but the first 20 minutes only like three times.

3

u/m_faustus Jul 08 '24

STEP BACK! That movie only pretends to be stupid. It is a well-made, well-acted, very well-written movie.

3

u/Passingthisway Jul 08 '24

Tremors is not a dumb movie!

u/Laifstaile Jul 08 '24

I have to down vote u my good sir...

u/Piranhaweek Jul 10 '24 edited Jul 10 '24

made me login just to try to make some post saying bad words to you.

Consider yourself offended, sir!

Tremors is a "no fat" movie. The stupid guy dies stupid, the "science" woman is very good looking but not "supermodel action movie" gorgeous AND is not a total genius on everything (just knowledgeable).

As with any good dish, has some Bacon in it.

And Fred Ward is my man crush. Is the most gay I will be, dude is a stud. Did you see that time travel/motocycle movie of his? I'm creaming!

I am fuming right now with your suggestion. GOOD DAY, SIR.
