Dumbest Good Movies
I like every movie on this list, but they are all really dumb. I've excluded a number of choices on account of being too clever about their dumbness (for example, The LEGO Movie). Only titles that I've rated at 8+ are included.
Ranked in order of how dumb they are, from most to least.
Don't think too hard about the comments.
