Reddit user DawgTheShawg asked: 'What's the stupidest movie you've ever seen?'

As Oscar season approaches, movie buffs often reminisce about the greatest movies they've ever seen.

As well as the movies that the Academy doesn't tend to recognize.


Not even necessarily the bad ones, but rather... the stupid ones.

True, generally all movies require a small suspension of disbelief, be it for people falling in love way too rapidly, inaccurate depictions of professions, or dinosaurs coming back to life.

Some movies, however, are so inane and nonsensical that they've achieved a legendary status all on their own.

Redditor DawgTheShawg was curious to hear what people considered to be the stupidest movie ever made, leading them to ask:

"What's the stupidest movie you've ever seen?"

It is pretty remarkable that some of these movies ever made it past a table read, let alone into movie theaters.

Then too, as the immortal genius Roald Dahl once said, "a little nonsense now and then, is relished by the wisest men."
