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?"

"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_

"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."

Mark Ruffalo Hits Back After Paramount Accuses Him Of Antisemitism Over His Merger Criticism

Actor and activist Mark Ruffalo has been speaking out for months about the proposed $110 billion merger between Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros Discovery. Like most critics, his concern lies with the loss of jobs, who would control the merged media giant, and the consolidation of media into an ever shrinking sphere of influence.

In August 2025, Skydance Media founder David Ellison, using his tech billionaire Oracle co-founder father Larry's wealth and influence, completed an $8 billion merger with Paramount. Installed as the Paramount Skydance CEO, the younger Ellison then set his sights on Warner Bros Discovery.
