I think there's something to the first part of that. If you only watch films that are acclaimed by others, you're just following other people's opinions and not coming up with any of your own. Also, not only can watching bad films help your thinking as you say by looking for the good, it helps you appreciate good…

I'll just take this space to mention that Margot Robbie and Gillian Jacobs look really alike and should play sisters or cousins sometime (and they're both pretty good actors too).

Hey, I like it (though I haven't heard it in a while), but I'd say the majority of comments about it here are negative.

HDTGM isn't that beloved on here, but the Jack Frost episode with Dan Harmon is by far one of their best, if only for the super-depressing "Second Opinions" segment (the We Hate Movies episode on it is pretty good as well).

I bet James McAvoy's character is that guy's favorite customer.

Kubrick is my favorite director ever, but if someone told me that "Fear and Desire" was directed by Coleman Francis, I'd believe them. On the other hand, the fact that someone could go from directing that to some of the best films ever is pretty inspiring.

From Soultaker to Voiceover-taker.

Luckily the film is surprisingly in the public domain, so you don't have to.

My theory is that Avengers Infinity War is going to have so many characters, the Russos will sneak in a Community sub-movie with all the main cast without anyone noticing.

It'd be great if Infinity War 2 is the secret "and a movie" that Abed meant. There are going to be a bazillion characters, so the Greendale Seven shouldn't be too difficult to fit in (including Chevy Chase as Thanos's dad or something).

If only this article were about the destruction of dairy products…

How about the Satellite of Love Lovecat?

The oldest MST3K feature is from the 40s ("Mad Monster" I think?), and the oldest short ("Catching Trouble") is from the 30s. I'm not sure they should really stretch back that far anyway, since not many of the really old movies (pre-60s) they did were interestingly bad enough IMO.

That's the same criteria I use for Vanilla Ice movies.

The mailbag episode truly was an Easter Egg of a treasure chest.

The mailbag episodes also hit gold relatively frequently, most recently the story about the guy who ruined a screening of The Godfather.

As well as the Inspector Gadget episode.

Has Kevin James ever had a dramatic role? I have a feeling this theory applies.

And "Under the Skin" subverts those same elements, so using a similar tactic is clever.

With its themes about the environment, feminism, and general exploitation, I'd say Mad Max: Fury Road qualifies (though I've seen some disagree).
