What is a movie that isn't all that good or even popular yet you just enjoy it unironically anyway? | Rooster Teeth Discord | Page 1

We all have that movie from our childhoods or adolescence that hasn't really aged that well. Maybe it was not all that good in concept or execution. Or maybe it just wasn't popular with critics or audiences and time has not done it any favors. But if you own it or catch it when it's on streaming or TV, you just got to watch it.

And this is not watching and enjoying it ironically ("It's so stupid, I got to enjoy it." or "Oh, how horrible can this movie be?!"). These are the movies that are of lesser quality but you genuinely enjoy them every time with not a hint of irony or sarcasm. Like, you felt it was made to appeal to you and it brings you comfort every time.

And who knows? It may be the craziest of movies with what may be juvenile story matter to some, but it brings you out of darkness into a secure and happy place every time you see it. What I want people here to do is share what kind of movie leaves you with those feelings of warmth and comfort even if it may not be one's cup of tea.

I'll go first to sorta break the ice. My comfort move of questionable quality: Thomas and the Magic Railroad (2000).

I’ll say The Cat in the Hat with Mike Myers. My dad and I love that movie. Yeah some stuff is weird for what it is but I choose to ignore that stuff

Actually saw that one on TV and DVD myself! Some stuff was weird, but there are parts that warm my heart AND crack me up too.

So, Thomas and the Magic Railroad and The Cat in the Hat. Two films which aren't all that good but still enjoyed unironically by some anyway.

Any more movies that may be lesser but bring comfort to you?

Hot Wheels Highway 35, it really is a stupid movie but as a kid I just loved watching the cool cars go fast and do sick tricks

craggy marten Aug 9, 2024, 9:03 PM

#

Also known as Hot Wheels: World Race? I knew it had to have some commonalities with the show ReBoot. Especially since they were both made by Mainframe Entertainment/Rainmaker Studios.

craggy marten Aug 10, 2024, 7:49 PM

#

So that's three movies that aren't real quality but loved unironically by those who saw them. Any more?

craggy marten Aug 11, 2024, 6:36 PM

#

Wow, this is kind of a tough question. Hard for people to come up with answers to it, or are we just too irony-poisoned to admit to genuinely liking something of lesser quality that brings us comfort?

craggy marten Aug 13, 2024, 4:54 AM

#

Any other movies that bring you comfort and genuine joy even if others didn't really like them?

lone sigil Laputa: castle in the sky

That's an interesting one. My sister and I enjoyed it to death in the late 2000s! Kinda inspired me to want to do some sort of Battlestar Galactica-type show with spacebound zeppelins fleeing a destroyed Earth to find a new home in space. I always really enjoyed seeing zeppelins and other flying machines in Hayao Miyazaki's works.

Yes

craggy marten Aug 18, 2024, 5:24 AM

#

We've almost got enough movies that may be of subpar quality but that we unironically enjoy nonetheless as comfort movies for a Top 5.

UPDATE: We got 7 movies for a Top 7.

1. Home Alone 3
1. Hot Wheels: World Race/Highway 35
1. Laputa: Castle in the Sky
1. Last Action Hero
1. Lazer Team
1. The Cat in the Hat

Who has a suggestion for this category? Maybe we should put them together as a streaming event.

Back on The Cat In The Hat, always lose control of myself at the Kupkake-Inator scene.

More like when the Cat chops his tail off and is about to swear and it cuts to the Hang In There, Baby! screen with "The Girl From Ipanema" being whistled.

Home Alone 3

Loved it as a kid, it's got a 4.6 on IMDB, watched it recently, legit gave it a 9/10, I still love it

I remember liking it as a kid. Haven’t seen it in recent years so who knows if that will stick for me

wind flame Aug 27, 2024, 3:36 PM

#

I just watched Lazer Team, and although it may be controversial in this discord, given its 5.4 imdb rating, I'm adding it to the list

#

genuinely surprised how much I liked it

craggy marten Aug 27, 2024, 4:27 PM

I rewatched Hulk 08 not too long ago and honestly I was really surprised. The first half is so good it's like a genuine 9/10. But the 2nd half is so bad it really brings it down
