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."

Dr. Oz Slammed After His 'Credit Card' Health Care Analogy Goes Completely Off The Rails

Snake oil salesman Dr. Mehmet Oz—now the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services—was criticized after he tried to discuss U.S. health insurance providers' pledge to speed up the prior authorization process by oddly comparing it to a "credit card," underscoring just how much he doesn't understand the job he currently holds.

Earlier this week, major U.S. health insurers—including Cigna, Aetna, Humana, and UnitedHealthcare—announced a set of reforms aimed at simplifying the often frustrating prior authorization process for patients and providers.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox Host Comes To Reporter's Defense After Pete Hegseth Berates Her At Pentagon Briefing

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
