Make us preferred on Google

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?"

Pushing "Method Acting" To Its Limits...

"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 movie follows the story of an Olympic gymnast, played by Kurt Thomas, who is recruited by a U.S. intelligence agency to participate in a deadly competition known as 'The Game' in the fictional country of Parmistan."

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

"They immediately put it on, as they owned a copy."

"At the end, I just went, 'What the f*ck, guys? That movie sucked'.”

"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...

"The Avengers."

"But not the one you're thinking of."

That Other "Avatar" Movie...

"The Last Airbender."- TheSheep1210

"I saw it in theaters and my spirit was broken afterwards."

"Omg? Soka, as in 'sohcahtoa'? Really?"

" I don't even remember the rest of the movie because the way they pronounced their names pissed me off so much."

"Apparently the director has some other good movies, but I won't watch them out of spite."- mizar2423

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."
