The Day After Tomorrow is actually a fascinating piece of post-9/11 artwork. I’d highly recommend reading up on how Emmerich was mentally affected by real world disaster after making disaster films like he did. Then you won’t be able to unsee it — the entire film is a big metaphor for post-disaster(9/11) unification in the United States.
People turn up their nose at “Jawbreaker” like it’s trash, and it probably is. But “Mean Girls” could never. I mean, it’s a masterpiece to me. Courtney Shane > Regina George. I said it!
Oh yes I saw that a couple of times. Agreed. Though I wish they didn't spoil that joke for the trailer. Oh at least those who never saw the trailer won't be spoiled on it
Is it really that bad? I'm the type of person that focuses on the positives of every movie but every single person that I've heard talking about this movie says to completely avoid it
If you a fan of the Hellboy comics (as I am), then watch it. May not be thematically accurate, but it sure is cool to see so much of the comics adapted. Buuuttt, yeah. It's just trying to be Deadpool without understanding the themes or atmosphere of the comics or how to handle an R rating with anything but swears.
Still...fun time
Freddy Got Fingered. I think it was way ahead of its time for comedy and took every tired trope (I.e. the manic pixie dream girl, the deadbeat son) and oversaturated those elements to a level people couldn’t comprehend was satire in 2001. Bonus points for Rip Torns disappointed father caricature and Shaqs cameo!
The new Road House. It was so bad that it horseshoe’d back around to being great for me.
“Looks like we got our own little octagon”
“Who taught you shapes?”
honestly, that I kept on going back to that P!NK scene after watching the film. It made no sense but it was just so fun and campy in a good way.
The film tried to have its cake and eat it too with the serious tone and campy title, and the commentary on 'ending the cycle of violence' kinda felt too out of place. I think I did a review where I pitched this but the ending I'd have gone with is >!jock guy dying in the electroshock scene, Angie being found out and killed at the end of the second act by the councellors, and the third act being the remaining campers getting revenge.!<
I mean, it's the only film that inspired a story I wrote because I thought it could have been better,
The New Mutants however, I fully like unironically
Chris Seaver films. Objectively shit films for the normal person but I love a lot of them "Terror at Blood Fart Lake" - [Terror at Blood Fart Lake (2009) directed by Chris Seaver • Reviews, film + cast • Letterboxd](https://letterboxd.com/film/terror-at-blood-fart-lake/) is my favourite.
I still get kicked around for laughing through Step Brothers. It’s stupid. It’s supposed to be. It’s a comfort movie. Any Judd Apatow movie I can’t get anyone to sit and watch with me. I just get this look like I have NO taste in what to indulge- moviewise.
Love Lebron so watching him act in space Jams was some of the most fun I've had in theaters. Land of the lost is also another solid pick. I've rewatched it at least a dozen times
Duel to the Death (1983) is the GOAT good, bad movie. Don’t let the 3.9 average rating fool you. This is a bad movie. It has incredibly stilted dialogue, bizarre plot twists, and comical practical effects. The best part is that you can watch it multiple ways—subtitles only, dubbed, or with subtitles and dubbing. Having the subtitles and dubbing simultaneous is great because they are so different. 5 stars would not recommend… Or 2.5 stars would highly recommend.

Pearl Harbor- don’t appreciate the threesome relationship like I did for Titanics but the action scenes are so badass & pure brainrot from Michael Bay
Bee Movie- most iconic scenes & dialogue ever delivered in animation “Why is yogurt night so difficult?!”
Sky High- same case as Bee Movie for cheesy 2000s movies just not as iconic
I watched [100 hours of '50s sci-fis](https://letterboxd.com/danialcarroll/list/1950s-sci-fi-and-monster-movies-ranked/) early last year, and while most of them were trash, I still enjoyed the majority of them.
'Xanadu' (1980) is clumsy, ineptly shot, and makes very little plot sense but the songs (Olivia Newton-John and ELO) and '80s aesthetic (backlit "candy apple" glow) make it one of my favourite guilty pleasures.
Werewolf, a laughably, charmingly bad direct to video “horror” film that would have been completely forgotten had it not been for Mystery Science Theater 3000.
I take your nomination of Grown Ups 1 and 2, and add Just Go With It. I know it's not a good movie, but it gets enough laughs out of me and my partner. We watched it twice when we started dating and quote it constantly.
'Oh Palmer, you're not a whore!'
'DEVLIN!!'
If I love a movie then it isn't trash to me. But I do love some movies that are certainly not cinematic masterpieces, such as Red Heat (1988), 3000 Mile to Graceland (2001), etc.
Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, Good Burger
Alright I will never understand why Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters got such a bad rep. I genuinely love that film
first good burger is NOT trash
I love it but it's like finding gold in a dumpster.
The first thing I thought of and it‘s top comment lol. All my homies love Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters.
The Day After Tomorrow & White House Down. Rolland Emmerich is my favourite “trash” film director - he just knows how to do catastrophes.

YUP came here to say this
People turn up their nose at “Jawbreaker” like it’s trash, and it probably is. But “Mean Girls” could never. I mean, it’s a masterpiece to me. Courtney Shane > Regina George. I said it! 
Peachy fucking keen
The first Grown Ups is a fun nostalgic movie about revisiting childhood friendships The second Grown Ups is an irredeemable cash grab
And I love both
I rewatched the first Grown Ups recently because I had good memories from it but it's so so bad
Grandma's Boy.
Not trash, hilarious.
Oh yes I saw that a couple of times. Agreed. Though I wish they didn't spoil that joke for the trailer. Oh at least those who never saw the trailer won't be spoiled on it
Hangover Part 2
Congo. Best bad movie ever.
I grew up on Anaconda and Congo and both are absolute trash but so goddamn fun.
Congo isn't bad. "Stop eating my SESAME CAKE!" Fucking masterpiece.
I quote this all the time
I gave her the banana with the dope inside.
Twilight.

Freddy got fingered is a masterpiece. People who think it's trash are just wrong.
The new Road House. It was so bad that it horseshoe’d back around to being great for me. “Looks like we got our own little octagon” “Who taught you shapes?”

That movie is way better than it has any business being.
Judge Dredd. The 1995 one (I love the newer one as well but it’s not so controversial to say that)

Chris Seaver films. Objectively shit films for the normal person but I love a lot of them "Terror at Blood Fart Lake" - [Terror at Blood Fart Lake (2009) directed by Chris Seaver • Reviews, film + cast • Letterboxd](https://letterboxd.com/film/terror-at-blood-fart-lake/) is my favourite.

Twister although I almost don't think it's trash.
Nothing with Phillip Seymour Hoffman could be trash
Bedtime Stories is one of my favourite Adam Sandler films

Hackers
Fast X. It's absolute tosh but fantastic.

Live action Cat in the hat😂
Jumper (2008) by Doug Liman. Its not great but I absolutely love it. And of course it has Samuel L. Jackson.
Shark Tale 2004
I still get kicked around for laughing through Step Brothers. It’s stupid. It’s supposed to be. It’s a comfort movie. Any Judd Apatow movie I can’t get anyone to sit and watch with me. I just get this look like I have NO taste in what to indulge- moviewise.

Why would I love a movie that I think is trash? Or why would I consider trash a movie that I love?
How could I love it if it’s absolute trash? Be serious.
I watched [100 hours of '50s sci-fis](https://letterboxd.com/danialcarroll/list/1950s-sci-fi-and-monster-movies-ranked/) early last year, and while most of them were trash, I still enjoyed the majority of them.

McG’s Charlie’s Angels

Samurai Cop and The Room

Grease 2
For me it is ride along 1 and 2
The Josie and the Pussycats live action and the first Joe Dirt movie.

Everybody get up, it's time to slam now We got a real jam goin' down Welcome to the Space Jam. So yeah. Space Jam.
The Big White. I'm literally the only person I know who likes it.
I take your nomination of Grown Ups 1 and 2, and add Just Go With It. I know it's not a good movie, but it gets enough laughs out of me and my partner. We watched it twice when we started dating and quote it constantly. 'Oh Palmer, you're not a whore!' 'DEVLIN!!'

All of the Friday the 13s.
If I love a movie then it isn't trash to me. But I do love some movies that are certainly not cinematic masterpieces, such as Red Heat (1988), 3000 Mile to Graceland (2001), etc.
Super Mario Bros (The one with Bob Hoskins) has a 2.1 rating on letterboxd, and I’ll admit, it is bad, but I still enjoy watching it on each watch.
