Another example, Rocky Horror Picture Show. Certified classic; it’s doing exactly what it wants to do. Is not trying to win Best Picture, and that’s what’s great about it
Evil Dead is one of the greats and easy to love, but I’m talking a genuine enjoyment of movies like Moontrap, Alien Apocalypse, and My Name Is Bruce.
The Bayformers are an interesting choice, because while I don’t enjoy them myself, I’ve heard people actively enjoy the movies for the spectacle. Similar to how I have enjoyed some of the… less well written… Godzilla films. Folks are gonna enjoy what they enjoy.
