From Armageddon to Dumb and Dumber, Reddit likes these 10 movies the best when they aren't thinking about them too hard.

9 'A Night at the Roxbury' A Night at the Roxbury is a comedy that grew out of a series of SNL sketches featuring Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan. They play two hapless brothers who crave acceptance into the exclusive Roxbury nightclub. Fueled by their unwavering self-confidence, they stumble through a series of comical misadventures and try to prove themselves to the Roxbury's owner.
Their mission takes them through time and space, and they must confront both the alien threat and a powerful crime syndicate. Most reviewers panned the film, but one Redditor found it entertainingly ridiculous. "[Returner is] a favorite of mine," said user Negative_Baseball_76. "It’s very unoriginal but entertaining.
