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.
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.

Why do you keep saying that?
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.
Fox. Imagine that.
It’s the greatest movie ever made and people who don’t think so are inferior to me
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 think a lot of the Quentin D movies will be hit or miss depending on the person. It is such a strange concept for a film I quite liked but overall not his best work IMO. For more weirdness I gotta recommend Smoking Causes Coughing which I liked a whole lot more
I’ll check it out!
But imma just go and say the spoilers cause I want to talk about it
::: spoiler The reason Rubber continues for so long is because you are the old man who refuses to die. The movie was supposed to end when they all ate the poison, but continues because the old man was stubborn. The movie literally asked you to turn it off, but youre just as stubborn so it has to continue. It begs you to stop, but you have to see what happens so the show must go on. :::
I love it
Made an extra comment by mistake cause im a little tipsy.
I saw that on the festival circuit. Still a highlight of my moviegoing career.
Yes! My family could not get into it, I thought it was a riot
Why?
No reason.
Ohhh. I have to make the end ::: a diffrent line
::: spoiler The old man is you. The movie has to continue because you didnt eat the poison and turn the movie off. :::
Honestly though. Thank you so much cause I was trying multiple different methods.
It took me a couple of edits, but I did it.
I hated the movie at first but it grew on me by the end of it. It might be pointless and wacky but it’s well done for what it is.
Its the only movie I know that
::: spoiler begs you to stop watching :::

IDK about “rated higher” but I love Jet Li’s The One
There’s exactly 127 universes in the multiverse. Why? Never discussed. And if one version of you kills another, every other version gets that much stronger. So Jet Li plays both the hero and the villain as well as an assortment of the villain’s victims. Jason Statham is in it too, as the hotheaded junior partner multiverse cop out to bring the villain down.
Weird guns! Weird tech! A prison universe! Super powered martial arts! A climactic fight in a foundry where you can tell the hero from the villain by the color of their shirt! Man I love this movie!
It’s when they go through the pictures of Jet Li’s victims that gets me every time. It’s just him with different wigs. The one with dreadlocks is hilarious.
I genuinely love this movie. Very entertaining. Soundtrack isn’t half bad either.
I actually thought this movie was a sequel to The Matrix when I saw it advertised and saw it in theaters as a result. It was okay.
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 spy a fellow MST3K/RLM fan!
I’m going to throw in Time Chasers and Manos: The Hands of Fate, if I may… 😁
Another Castleton alum I see 😆
😁
Those just reminded me of another one I like and has a sub 6 score: Beverly Hills Ninja :D
The great white ninja!
Added to the queue, thanks!
Titan AE
Absolutely agree. Love the movie so much and in a world that loves incredible scales for sci-fi tech I haven’t ever seen anything else like the Titans function in anything else.
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 literally have never met someone that even knows this movie. It’s one of my all time favorites. I watch it from time to time. Crash 🤜 and 🤛 Burn!
Hell yeah! I made my kids watch it, they questioned my taste for a long time after. It was sweet!
Have you seen the unofficial sequels?
No, but I will now! Hell yeah!!!
Super Mario Bros Movie.
The Bob Hoskins / John Leguizamo one? I love it.
Thats the one.
I wanted to recommend The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension, but it’s sitting at 6.2 on IMDB, which is higher than I expected. I’m still going to, because it’s great. Jeff Goldblum plays the most normal person in the film.
The David lynch version of Dune. I find it much more enjoyable than the recent version(s). The art direction and casting are amazing.
The only clunky part is in the TV cut where they use storyboards and voiceovers to give some back history about the Mentats. Pretty sure this was not in the theatrical release though it’s been a while since I’ve rewatched it. Oh and the human close ups of riding the worms is showing its age in the special effects department.
Captain Ron
- Brüno - 5.9
- The Ringer - 5.8
- MacGruber - 5.5
- Jingle All The Way - 5.6
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.
How is Jingle All The Way at 5.6? It’s a banger Xmas classic.
Yeah that is straight shocking.
It’s wholesome. Where is justice in the world?
I believe a new MacGruber is on the way
Sweet! I still need to watch the show from a couple years ago, that got better reviews lol
Wouldn’t say I love it but I really liked Not Another Teen Movie when I first saw it. Not sure how it holds up but the parody it makes of those high school romcoms was good.
In a similar vein, Scary Movie 2 and 3 were also really funny to me as a kid.
That movie was great. I love Marilyn Manson’s Tainted Love music video he made with the cast of that movie.
Didn’t know he did that; pretty funny that Jaime turned goth though the constant zoom onto his grills made me laugh. So glad that fad is no longer a thing
That is unironically one of my favorite movies of all time and I think it’s hilarious.
I actually like the Tom Cruise War of the Worlds good sound mixing too.
That had a bad rating? I thought it was a decent movie, decent acting, decent story, decent special effects, like most of Cruise’s movies.
Hate the person love the actor, he had a long string of good movies
I think pretty low for what it is
6.6 imdb
The one with the alien tube and the red webbing across the floor?
One of my childhood movies lolThis is a horror movie masquerading as science fiction. Straight up horrifying.
Kinda like coraline masquerading as a kids movie.
The brother’s storyline is ridiculous and ruins the movie.
He’ plays a type of person that happens in real life and unfortunately they’re usually annoying. His opposational defiance was developed earlier.
In the army now!
5.0. Pauly Shore, Andy Dick, David Alan Greer, Lori Petty
Oh man, watched son in law recently, was funny as shit. He breaks character sometimes in the dorm rooms and is funny as hell.
That’s…uhhhh…quite a cast
Darkness Falls 5.0 on imdb. A ok horror film. I like it because it’s pretty decently thought out. The minor characters do start to listen to the guy in the know once he is shown to know what’s going on.
Man, this was the centre of a lot of my nightmares when I was younger.
