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?"

"Tiptoes."

"Starring Gary Oldman pretending to be a little person by lumbering about on his knees while Peter Dinklage is right there, who is doing a ridiculous French accent."

"What more is there to say?"

"As a little person myself, it was….an experience."- Usidore_

Before The Hunger Games, There Was...

"'Gymkata' is a martial arts action film released in 1985."

"The protagonist employs his gymnastics skills to navigate through a treacherous town filled with obstacles and adversaries."

"And my brother agreed and apologized meekly."

"I was so confused."

"I still am, to be honest."- fishkybuns

Much Less Marvel, Much More Tea And Scones...

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."
