Movies that work as unintentional comedies

[TheBluRayPrince]

Twilight films were hilarious

I actually laughed at Road to Perdition. It was extremely predictable. I was like "and then Tom Hank's character looks out the window and unbeknownst to him Daniel Craig's character is behind him." before it happened.

I thought Battlefield Earth was a spoof of some films until someone told me that it wasn't.

The Nativity Story was extremely lame and I laughed at many serious parts.

Iron Man 2 I had nervous laughter because I was horrified at the direction it went and I couldn't get "you're not Rhodey man, Terrence Howard is" out of my head every time Don Cheadle came on.

Also laughed at Green Lantern.

The baseball scene in the first movie is the most groan-worthy moment in film history. It's awful, hilarious and embarrassing all at the same time.

You mean Jude Law's character.

Yep, it's in the book though so I can't blame the filmmakers on that one. That's all Stephanie Meyer. I can blame them for even thinking about making the films though.

I thought the most horrifying scene in movie history was either seeing nipples on the bat suit or iron man dancing in his suit during iron man 2. At least in comic book movie history.

Indiana Jones 4. The jungle scene where they were swingin' from vine to vine like monkeys- inhumanly possible. I don't care if the filmmaker said their tryin' to pay homage to old B movies by making it unreal, it's still ridiculous looking. When my wife and I saw the scene we just looked at each other simultaneously and had a confused look on our faces, like " What the hell was that?". Haha

Which is hard to do successfully.

Ming: "...Why NOT?")

Spiderman 3 is still a massive disappointment to me and so I can't quite laugh at it as much as I would like to without being reminded of how much I was letdown, so I'll go with the aforementioned Batman & Robin.

Yeah, the 1980 film was intentionally made to fit the campy style of the original serials. Still, I don't think the original serials were intentionally funny so we could go with them . They are hilarious.

I know what you mean! I remember that I had wondered why I was the only one laughing and having a good time back when I went and saw it at the theater. When I got it on DVD, I then saw how serious the movie was supposed to be! But... I mean... the over-acting by Travolta; "...I have been trained TO CONQUER GALAXIES!" The under-acting of Whitaker; how blank was his face when he got his hand shot off?! It was like an annoyance more than HE GOT HIS HAND SHOT OFF! I also loved all of the "leverage" talk and how Whitaker would try to get the upperhand, but fail miserably because Travolta was only slightly smarter.

OH! And it has CAVEMEN FLYING HERRIER JETS!!!!!11!!! I mean, hootin' and hollarin' cavemen... with the bad guy from "Kindergarten Cop" as one of 'em... and they're ALL flying Herrier-freakin'-Jets! How do they still work? Who cares?! It ain't that kinda movie!!!! It's cavemen. In jets. Fighting aliens. Whoo-flippin'-hoo!

At least that's how I saw (and still see) it. Ah, good times...

2012 was one of the most worst movies I've ever seen. John Cusack dodging meteorites and miracleously catches the plane with his feet. Pure comedy.

You have James Coburn at one point saying, "So, Joe, how does it go?" and chuckling as if this one rhyme is a great joke. You have Michael Biehn giving incredibly awkward and bizarre narration on-and-off throughout the whole thing. And you have no less an actor than the great Angus Scrimm as a Bond-villain-esque diamond-lover with a pincer instead of hand and a lair with girls and cats in it.

This sounds *awesome*. It's on Netflix Instant too, so I might have to check it out.

The Shining and Falling Down

[jd_from_da_80s]

"Donnie Brasco", every time Lefty took money from Donnie, the part with the tiger, the scene in the motel when Lefty & Donnie were calling each other c0(k su(kers.

"We Need to Talk About Kevin", this movie was hilarious up til the part when the little sister had to go to the hospital, then the funnys slowed down a bit.

At one point, near the end of the theatrical release, audiences were snickering so loudly, Warner DID change their TV ads and promote Falling Down as an Office Space-like timepuncher's-revenge black comedy, suggesting that D-Fens was actually Milton with a gun:

You have a strange sense of humor if you thought that film was hilarious... I found it pretty disturbing to be honest. Great, but disturbing.
