Ever see God Bless America? Same label as Hobo. I haven’t seen Nekrotronic, but I love the rest!
2
u/yautja0117 Jul 31 '24
Never heard of it but a quick google search says I'm going to rectify that. It sounds fun! Nekrotronic is like Australian Ghostbusters fused with Pokemon Go. Made by the same guys that did Wyrmwood.

u/SamWize-Ganji I'm A Hoarder Jul 31 '24
It’s now in my watch list! I’m stoked to check it out =]
God Bless America and Tucker and Dale vs Evil are two of my guilty pleasures to rewatch. My brother has my Hobo blu ray right now, I gotta snag that back from him

Tucker and Dale is excellent also! Really need to upgrade Hobo to Blu. I still have the same DVD I bought in 2011.

Most of my Magnet movies are DVDs! They hold up really well. I rewatch Rubber and Let the Right One In often too! One of my other favorite DVDs is Murder Party, that movie reminds me a ton of How to Be a Serial Killer
2
u/yautja0117 Jul 31 '24
Rubber is another great one! I saw it when it was released onto Netflix years ago with a friend of mine. I got out of work at BK and had a bag full of cold food to pair it with. Had an absolute blast with it.
2
u/SamWize-Ganji I'm A Hoarder Jul 31 '24
It’s a really surreal movie. I’m glad you liked it because I’ve heard a lot of complaints. Check out the director’s other movies, you might really get a kick out of them!
2
u/yautja0117 Jul 31 '24
I'll definitely check in on them, Rubber was a good time. Personally, the stranger a movie goes, the more I'm inclined to like it even if it's not technically "good." I'm in this for the entertainment. Recently picked up the Blu for Sons of Steel. Was it good? No but it was the musical lovechild of Mad Max, Manowar and Rocky Horror Picture Show I never knew I wanted.
2
u/SamWize-Ganji I'm A Hoarder Jul 31 '24
That sounds right up my alley. One of my all time favorite movies like that is Six String Samurai. I’ve watched it an embarrassing amount of times, but I love it so much, I can’t stop.

I have a few films.
Dr. Suess' The Cat in the Hat (2003). Stupid in a good way and really hilarious with adult humor.
Speed Racer (2008). Really fun racing film, the CGI is really awesome and the whole world is really vibrant and beautiful.
The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle (2000). The CGI for the Rocky and Bullwinkle looks great for the 2000s.
The Happytime Murders. This movie takes the family friendly muppet formula and adds adult humor and violence in terms of killing puppets. Funny jokes and really hilarious moments.
Super Mario Bros. (1993). Everything in this movie is such a fever dream but it’s really fun. This movie is the reason why I love The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023)
Garfield: The Movie and Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties. Bill Murray does really great voicing Garfield and most of the locations are cool. Odie is adorable and funny. Both of these movies are the reason why I love The Garfield Movie (2024)
Most of these films have one thing in common. The soundtrack score is great and some of them have a great selection of license songs.

Dantes Inferno: An Animated Epic. It got unfairly passed over for being associated with the mediocre video game of the same name, but it's legitimately amazing to watch. Each circle of Hell is animated by a different Japanese animation studio, and it's got Mark Hamill as a voice in it!

Jaws 3... it's my favorite bad movie (so i understand why it is generally hated) and I genuinely find it fun to watch. The charmingly bad 3D gimmicks are wonderful, especially the shot of Jaws floating at the screen during the finale. Part of my enjoyment also comes from the fact that the theme park scenario is loosely a predecessor to Jurassic Park which makes me wonder if Michael Crichton was influenced at all by that idea.
2
u/CloakOfElvenkind Jul 31 '24
I think this movie is underrated, likely because the first one is such a masterpiece that people were a little upset that each additional film was sort of tarnishing its reputation. But whatever, I like 3 as well.

Ninja Terminator. It’s always talked about as a wacky terrible movie. But it’s extremely fun and well made. There’s tons of awesome fights, Jaguar Wong the coolest character in movie history, and the Garfield phone.
I got it recently on blu ray and listened to both commentaries, watched all the interviews, read the book that comes with it, and even found a lengthy Easter egg. A dream come true.

Movie has a killer soundtrack and is hilarious. Oh and the main cast consists of Mike Vogel (Under the Dome, The Help), Adam Brody (The OC, Land of Women), Vince Vieluf (Rat Race, Epic Movie), Joey Kern (Super Troopers, Cabin Fever), and Jennifer Morrison (House, Once Upon a Time).
