In my humble opinion, Deadly Prey is the best B movie of all time. It is so bad, it borders on genius! IMDB link: Deadly Prey (1987) Trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQySDbFb97s
What about Primer? On topic: Zombieland, I Am Legend, Phone Booth, 16 Blocks, Wanted, The Kingdom, Tropic Thunder, Déjà Vu, Pitch Black, Transformers...
Has to be Expendables, best film for years. Anyone mentioned Rambo yet? Highlander Bullitt Shaker Run Fast and Furious lot Smokey and the bandit And the greatest movie ever - Plan 9 from Outer Space
I'd completely forgotten some of the classic no-brainers: Any of the Resident Evil films Evil Dead 3: Army of Darkness Undercover Brother American Werewolf in London Land of the Dead Kung Fu Hustle Shaolin Soccer The last two are subtitled but TBH they speak for themselves once you start watching them. Low budget, Hong Kong cinema at its best
Running man - love it Robocop - I'd buy that for a dollar Total Recall - my favourite movie ever also has one of my favourite movie quotes ever "See you at the party Richter"
Oh, beat me to it! Also, Scott Pilgrim is pretty brainless, fun and easy-watching. It's not very violent action, but it is action.
Days of Thunder Top Gun (Tom Cruise's last 2 good films) The Count of Monte Cristo (Guy Pearce version) Macgruber (you can't get more brain dead than this) TRON: Legacy Total Recall The Bourne [Identity/Supremacy/Ultimatum] Robocop Kill Bill Vol.1 + 2. Ghost Rider The Boondock Saints Vantage Point (although this one engages your brain) If you can find it: Undead. It's an Australian low (near zero) budget zombie film. Awesome stuff.
Scott Pilgrim was a cool action movie A few even more outrageous action scenes would have been better, but it's still good as is.
Dont know if it´s been posted yet, but if you want a brain dead film, the obvious choice should be just that http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103873/ 7.0 score and director is also Peter Jackson Really funny movie and has the best priest in the world with an australian accent !
Also worth a whirl: Lesbian Vamipre killers (also known as "Vampire killers" in some parts of the world where they don't want to write "Lesbian" onto the box). Good fun, not particuarly violent, but makes up for it in boobies...
