For example, Smokey and the Bandit. It's number 83 on my Top 105 favorite movies. (It used to be 103 until I added Oppenheimer and Dunkirk.) As I said in my Internet Movie Database review: "America needed a hero and Ronald Reagan was three years away. We found it in Burt Reynolds and his black Trans Am." This was the second highest grossing film of 1977 (behind Star Wars). The operative word on this movie was "fun." There's nothing serious or deep. Just fun. There is some cringe, but not a lot. I have this on Blu-Ray in case I want to watch it. It's available on Amazon Prime for $3.79.
Then there's Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story. It's number 89 on my Top 105 favorite movies. Again, this is just a fun movie but with some cringe built in. It mostly just goes for the laughs but it also has a sports element that makes you cheer for the heroes. Parts haven't aged well (Lance Armstrong?) but that's easy to ignore. A group of misfits enters a dodgeball tournament to win money to save their gym. The tournament is supposedly shown on ESPN 8 (The Ocho!). The movie is on television a lot but look for it unedited on Hulu or Amazon Prime Video ($3.79).
And finally, there's xXx. (I was surprised anyone would name a mainstream movie "xXx" when "XXX" means porn.) This movie didn't make my 105 favorite movies but whenever it's on TV, I end up watching it. I recently watched it unedited and without commercials. I don't remember where but I'm sure I didn't pay extra as I would on Amazon Prime. The plot is pretty thin and the "audition" part lasts too long. It's about an extreme sports enthusiast recruited by a government agency to figure out what a group of ex-Soviet military men are doing. The dialogue is cheesy and the action borders on unbelievable. Or, is actually unbelievable. But it's so over the top in almost every way, it's hard to not watch.
