When curling up on the couch after a long day of hard work, it’s hard to imagine ending the day without tuning out the world and pressing play on a good movie. But sometimes, when good doesn’t cut it, a bad movie just seems to do the trick.

Twilight (2008)

Rating on Rotten Tomatoes: 49% Tomatometer, 72% audience

Twilight has become notorious for its poor editing, over-the-top acting, nonsensical dialogue, and iconic blue filter, and yet it continues to reign as one of the most iconic film adaptations ever. Putting aside the secondhand embarrassment induced by watching it, Twilight is a feel-good movie with a nostalgia-rich vibe. So if you’re in the mood to engulf yourself in a world full of vampires and put on a permanent pair of blue-lens sunglasses, it’s a must-watch.

Morbius (2022)

Rating on Rotten Tomatoes: 15% Tomatometer, 71% audience 

Morbius was doomed to fail from the beginning, becoming a quick target of satirical memes online. But despite the gaping plot holes and inconsistent characters, the film itself is not that horrible. It has decent acting, and memorable moments (but, spoiler alert, no one says “it’s Morbin’ Time). Even if the film doesn’t bring anything groundbreaking to the table, it’s still fun to watch and make fun of. 

Bee Movie (2007)

Rating on Rotten Tomatoes: 49% Tomatometer, 53% audience 

Bee Movie ran its course in meme history long before the outbreak of 2020 movie jokes, falling prey to twelve-year-old boy humor. Despite this, the movie has a place in the hearts of many, boosted by not only its nostalgia factor but also the film’s recognizable sarcasm and self-awareness. Then again, that human/bee romance arc is agonizing, and you might need to bleach your eyes afterward (but it’s still worth watching).

Edward Cullen: [he jumps out his bedroom window and lands on a tree] “You better hold on tight spider monkey!”

Michael Morbius: “I’m sorry. I’m starting to get hungry. And you don’t want to see me when I’m hungry.”

Narrator: “According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway, because bees don’t care what humans think is impossible.”
