Some of those are a given (Highlander 2, Battlefield Earth) but others suggest they need to watch more movies.

I'd also include:

  • League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003)
  • Cosmic Sin (2021) and Anti-Life (2020) - I understand the context but that doesn't stop them from being shit
  • Alone in the Dark (2005) - screw Uwe Boll
  • Monster (2008)
  • Disaster Movie (2008)
  • Brazilian Star Wars (1978)
  • Doghouse (2008) - punchable
  • Most mockbusters, especially the Atlantic Rim ones

Still waiting for whichever studio owns the rights to LGX to make a tv series out of it.

LXG should have been good. It's amazing they managed to make such a bad movie with that premise.

It took itself seriously. I read the comics and they're awesome because they are so over the top.

What was the context?

Monster (2008)

I double checked this one. The weird thing is, Cloverfield was released as Monstro in Russia and Ukraine, Project: Monster in Poland, Monstrous in Romania and Bulgaria. I've yet to hear why, but I guess it's eastern european distributors rightfully thought this name would be more telling of what's presented in the movie.
