    I'll start: Virtuosity.

    Far and away the worst Denzel movie ever made, but it's soooooo hilariously dated that it's actually fun to watch.

    It's the epitome of how wrong the 90s was about picturing what "the future" would look like.

    Others? There's a lot of them.

    I thought about listing Demolition Man, but I didn't because it's not UNINTENTIONALLY outrageous, it's very much intentional. Demolition Man is a satirical movie, hence why EVERY restaurant is Taco Bell, and why you get fined for cursing. It's not a movie that takes itself seriously at all.

    Movies like Virtuosity and The Net are LITERALLY what people thought the future would be like.

    BTW, Demolition Man is STILL fun to watch to this day. I still watch it anytime I'm flipping channels and its on.

    Superman 3

    As a kid, I thought it was a little silly but I still enjoyed it immensely. Nowadays it's just a steaming pile of crap.

    Superman 3 & IV are both incredibly stupid today.

    1 & 2 were quality.

    The thing with Superman IV is that it was a terrible film even then....just a ridiculous film. Superman 3 though was pretty good fun back then.

    Not a bad movie, a great series as I love the Back to the Future series, but the flying cars in 2015 makes me laugh.

    At least they were only one year off with the Cubs prediction.

    Other movies like Revenge of the Nerds are so dated it's creepy.

    Our Nerd Protagonist commits rape by deception, making the girl think he is her boyfriend, Jefferson Darcy by putting on his costume.

    The girl goes "it's okay, he can lay the pipe, I'm in love with him now"

    The early 80s Clash of the Titans wasn't "bad" per se, but the special effects are hilarious.

    Did people actually take Reefer Madness serious at the time? Like they thought that's what weed was going to do to people?

    I believe so yeah, and it shouldn't even be that surprising as a lot of people out there believe similar things about weed to this day.

    80s Clash of Titans might have outdated special effects, but it's still 10,000x better than the remake.

    The Thing with Two Heads was already bad by 1972 standards but in today's ultrasensitive PC society its political incorrectness makes it into a total hoot!

    [​IMG]

    The Aztec Mummy vs The Humanoid Robot this 1958 Mexican gem is a cult classic mainly because it was supposed to be a serious horror/scifi film, but it was so cheaply done and it is soooo baaad that you cannot help but laugh...particularly at the cardboard robot!

    Er...robot...we can clearly see your neck...

    I actually watched Superman The Movie (part 1) not to long ago. It felt kind of dated, especially in certain spots. For instance during superman's interview with Louis Lane he came off like a sexual predator and creepy as hell. It was also funny at the end when Superman brought Lex and Otis straight to prison handing them over to the warden while totally bypassing the court/justice system.

    It seems like a lot of older movies, guys who are being persistent or even "romantic" just seem plain creepy watching it now.

    The early 80s teen movie The Last American Virgin (a remake of a foreign film), the "nice guy" protagonist is a total creeper. He stares at his crush like he's obsessed and he pays his friend to get her address. After he gets the address, he gets there early, lets the air out of her bicycle tires, then drives by later when she can't ride her bike he can come by like "need a ride?" A complete serial killer tactic if there ever was one.

    He makes out with the girl's friend, and completely stares at his crush while he's making out with her. Not a subtle look but very obvious.

    Then later, he finds out that his friend is on a date with her and about to bang her at the football field, so he goes to the football field looking for them! Like he's going to be "hey you two can't have sex".

    The remake was awful, to the point where you want to torture the scriptwriter and director to death.

    Yes it was bad although the updated gorgon scene was almost worth the price of admission. As bad as the remake was the sequel was even worse.

    I laugh my ass off everytime I see Jaws 3 on tv. Horrible effects, fake looking shark, ridiculous dialogue.

    A guilty pleasure movie for me.

    Was that the One w/Richard Pryor???...

    Had They ALLOWED Pryor to Be HIMSELF, Superman 3 Would Hold Up Today as an EDGY Comic Flick...Instead, Pryor was PG13 and CORNY, as he Was in More than a Few of his Final Films Like "The Toy", "Brewster's Millions", "Bustin' Loose" and Others...

    Dude was BRILLIANT in his Concert Films, Early Screen Roles and his Interracial Buddy Flicks w/Gene Wilder...

    Had THAT Richard Pryor Been in Superman 3, It'd have Been a CLASSIC...

    :D:D:D:D

    One of REED's Sleeper Faves of All Times...

    You Make Some COMPELLING Points about the Lead Character's Behavior...Creepy as Fuck, in Hindsight...

    & Whoever Wrote the Script Should Be Deemed a "Person of Interest" for Unsolved Murders Wherever he Lives/Lived...

    Though the Movie Ends w/the Lead Character Driving Off, CRYING like a Bitch, he was Probably Going to Get Explosives or Weapons to MURDER Everybody @ the Party he Just Left...

    "Aye Superman, you can suck my dick, jack! I don't give a fuck about no Lois Lane or saving no white man's Earth. All you do for me is let a nigga know where he can find some good ass cocaine. Can you do that muhfucka?" - the REAL Richard Pryor.

    If REED Isn't Mistaken, 3 is the One where Superman was BAD for a Little Bit???...They Discovered Some Hybrid Form of Kryptonite that Didn't Kill Superman, but ALTERED his Values???...

    To This Day, THE Funniest Scene of that Flick (and 1 of the Funnier Scenes in Comic Book Cinematic History) is when Superman STRAIGHTENS the Leaning Tower of Pisa, then Flips Off a Vendor Selling Replicas:D:D...

    REED Has Little Doubt Richard Pryor Suggested that Scene...

    Had they Allowed Him More Creative Control, Allowed Him to Explore the DEPRAVITY of "Bad" Superman, that Flick Would STILL Resonate Today...Could've Been Soooooo Much MORE than it Ended Up Being...

    As Is, it was Richard Pryor Half Assing and Cornballing his Way to an Easy Pay Day...

    I hated the first film, but loved the campiness of the sequel. Heather Locklear in her babe prime!
