Once Bitten, Joe vs the Volcano, and Mortal Kombat are all way better movies than they should have been.

Eurotrip ..."Scotty doesn't know.."
The need for speed movie. It's not bad. I feel like the game they chose to reference is the worst and best choice for it.
Showgirls.
Additionally the VH1 TV edit is even worse. (In a bad way)
But better in a Ms paint kind of way
My wife's family loves The Princess Bride, but I love telling them that Stardust is better. It might not be correct, but it's a pretty fun hill to die on.
DarkStar
So stupid, but if I see it pop up on any of the streaming sites, I know what I'm doing for the next hour or so.
Interstate 60 - a cute quirky B movie with some hella famous actors. Gary Oldman, Christopher Lloyd, Michael J Fox, James Maraden, Chris Cooper, Amy Smart, Kurt Russell. It is a fun and imaginative ride along a made up highway. My favorite scene was the town of Morelaw.
Big Trouble - a great movie shut down by circumstance. It was set for release in late 2001, the end of the movie involves hijacking a plane with a nuclear bomb, but then 9/11 happened so they sent it straight to video and stopped advertising it. Based on a Dave Barry novel, it’s a hilarious story involving a crazy cast of characters you may meet in Florida. Another star studded cast including Tim Allen, The Tooch, Martha Stewart, Janine Garofalo, Zoey Deschanel, Omar Epps, Jason Lee, Johnny Knoxville, and many more.
I have only met a couple people ever who have seen either of these movies.
Grandma's Boy. If you're a gamer, its a must watch.
Super Mario Bros. No, not the new CGI one, the old live action one. I know I’m not alone in loving this movie, but man is it divisive— those that don’t like it, HATE it, and I think that’s the majority opinion.
I unironically love this movie. It’s not just nostalgia either, though I did watch it as a kid. I also watched the old Zelda cartoon as a kid when it first came out, and I loved it then but I can’t stand it now. No, I’ve watched this movie recently and it still rocks. It’s perfect for what it is, I think.
Suburban commando starring early 90s Hulk Hogan, best enjoyed on the original VHS .
Das Millionenspiel.
It's The Running Man except twelve years earlier and a media satire instead of an action movie. It comments on TV phenomena that wouldn't exist in Germany until two decades later (like scripted "reality" TV). Also, it has early appearances of one of Germany's most famous TV hosts (as the show's host, fittingly) and one of Germany's most famous comedians of the 70s to 90s (in a completely serious role, unfittingly). And unlike the Schwarzenegger movie it doesn't construct a dystopian future to introduce public bloodsports but merely gives a terse reference to a "law on active recreation" dated three years after the movie first aired.
To make it even more odd, it's actually a good movie despite being from Germany and made for TV.
Scamper the Penguin.
