Either "Tucker and Dale Versus Evil", or "The Cabin in the Woods".
If I want everyone to leave as quickly as possible, then "Martyrs", Antichrist", or "A Serbian Film".

"You boys like MEXICO?!?!?!"

The Passion of Joan of Arc because if they don't like it I can harangue them mercilessly for having bad taste :)
Le Nèg' from Robert Morin
Apollo 13.
Mostly factual, great pacing, gripping story, excellent acting, and an honest feel-good ending,
In fact, that and The Incredibles are two movies that I could show to almost any crowd with confidence.
This is a perfect time for the Christmas cracker approach - you're unlikely to be able to pick a movie that everyone agrees is good, so pick a movie that everyone agrees is bad, and bond over shared mockery.
Space Truckers (1996) - Dennis Hopper, Charles Dance. Terrible movie with some wacky bullshit, cube pigs, neon space twinks, and a cyborg love prosthetic.
Moonfall (2022) - another classic from Roland Emerick where most of the movie is nonsense but there is a seed of a brilliant idea buried in there.
Mega Shark Vs Mecha Shark (2014) - it starts with a giant shark catapulting a fishing boat from Manhattan to Giza, and gets more and more ridiculous as it goes on. Featuring Christopher Judge in one of his less believable roles.
Moonfall was quite entertaining and simultaneously so bad. And the mooning (pun intended) over Elon must be making everyone who worked on that movie (presumably in 2020-21) absolutely cringe. I did.
I would honestly love to see a series based on moonfall, like Stargate, where we fully explore who made the "moon" and what the implications of its true nature are.

D.E.B.S. Itβs a campy fun love story in the 00βs spy comedy style
Itβs not quite as funny as But Iβm a Cheerleader, but I can see how that one would make some people uncomfortable.
Obviously going for Glen Or Glenda.
Requiem for a Dream
Titan AE, Treasure Planet, Terminator, LA Confidential, El Dorado
Oh man Titan AE was how I discovered Lit, was really into them back then. Still love Over my HeaD!
Titan AE is an interesting choice for the prompt because the movie flopped specifically because no one vibed with it. Don Bluth's art style is often taken as shorthand for "this is for kids" but the movie really isn't; like one character snaps another one's neck on screen. So no one knew what to do with it and defaulted to "not seeing it."
Right, because they marketed it wrong. The movie is quite good and me and my friends actually watched in theaters when it came out and enjoyed it, but this is also why I added a couple of on there movies in there.
