Napoleon Dynamite 2004
Not much needs to be said about this absolute banger of a film. I’ve said it for years, and after my recent rewatch echo it still, that this film is culturally significant and worthy of preservation by the National Film Registry.

Undoubtedly one of the absolute worst films I’ve ever seen.
Whoever wrote this film must have the world’s most pathetic vendetta against their high school girlfriend. The premise of this film is that some random writer whose ex girlfriend from several decades (yes decades) ago has written such a compelling murder/rape fantasy about how it made him feel when she left him that she decides she loves him again.
The best part? He doesn’t show up for their planned dinner. He ghosts her. HA! Take that, he must be thinking to his ex girlfriend from 20 or 30 years ago. What a loser.
