    I'm asking because an IMDb rating cutoff above 6.5+-5 seems to generally do a good job making sure I don't regret watching something. But what am I missing among the sub-6? I know they exist, but it is hard to select among seas of...bad movies.

      Idiocracy. Has stood the test of time surprisingly well for a movie containing so many fart and sex jokes.

        Robot Jox, I watched the hell out of this as a kid.. And no it shouldn't be rated any higher than it already is.

          I am a so-bad-it-is-good movie enjoyer. If you want to view some genuinely entertaining schlock, I'd highly recommend:

          • Miami Connection
          • Samurai Cop
          • Killing: American Style
          • Space Mutiny
          • Money Plane
          • Paradise Motel
          • I am Here, Now (any Neil Breen tbh)
          • Timecop

            I wouldn't say it was prophetic, because most of it was already there in 2000, but less virulent. But yeah, Mike Judge had to push against the industry to get it out, so at least some corpos were aware of what he was saying too. That is why it wasn't higher, because Fox tried to neglect-kill it.

                          My wife and teenage step son had never seen this before, so we all tried watching it last year. Every single one of us fell asleep. It wasn't nearly as funny and entertaining as I remembered.

                          But that won't stop me from saying "IT'S GOT WHAT PLANTS CRAVE!" at least once a month.

                                    I unironically love Rubber. Not a single person I've shown has shared that sentiment haha

                                    It's about a tire that blows things up with It's mind

                                    Edit: doesn't anyone know how to make spoilers hidden? I wanna type something but dont want to just put it out there

                                      I watched the entire “Kissing Booth” trilogy with a friend recently. They’re cute teen rom-coms and I enjoyed all of the movies and characters. The writing is corny, but it seemed to intentionally have a kind of theater club vibe to me. I kept thinking the cast must have had a lot of fun.

                                      Should it be rated higher? No idea. I think ratings are stupid tbh.

                                        I'm not gonna defend them as super great movies but I do feel they are underrated by a point. If Bruno dropped before the world saw Borat I think it would have been better recieved.

                                          I'm asking because an IMDb rating cutoff above 6.5+-5 seems to generally do a good job making sure I don't regret watching something. But what am I missing among the sub-6? I know they exist, but it is hard to select among seas of...bad movies.
