In Total Recall (1990), Arnold Schwarzenegger pays for a fun fake vacation and accidentally upgrades to an identity crisis with free brain surgery. Mars turns out to be a red dirt hellscape where everyone’s either a secret agent, a corporate thug, or rocking a bonus mutant limb. Reality bends so hard it snaps, but Arnold solves every existential question the same way: by shooting it. By the end, you’re still not sure what’s real—except that Quaid’s vacation package had a very generous violence clause.

Clark Griswold once again proves that the true spirit of Christmas is blind optimism mixed with catastrophic home-owner negligence. As his house becomes a magnet for electrical fires, feral squirrels, and uninvited relatives, Clark clings to the dream of a “fun old-fashioned family Christmas” like a man who’s never met his own family. By the time the SWAT team crashes through the windows, the only real miracle is that no one died.

Point Break is the touching story of an FBI agent who goes undercover and immediately forgets he’s supposed to be undercover, because surfing with dudes who may or may not rob banks is apparently more important than his job. Keanu Reeves delivers his lines with the emotional range of a toaster, while Patrick Swayze radiates “cool philosophy major who definitely smells like patchouli.” The movie insists that surfing is basically a religion, which explains why everyone treats felony armed robbery like a minor spiritual detour. By the end, you’re not sure whether you witnessed a crime thriller, an accidental rom-com, or just 122 minutes of wet hair and questionable decision-making.

A drifter with a mullet and a bad attitude discovers that the world’s elite are actually hideous aliens selling consumerism like it’s a religion. Armed with magical sunglasses and a shotgun, he decides subtlety is overrated. Between one-liners and the world’s longest fistfight, he tries to wake up humanity one shattered TV at a time. It’s capitalism, conspiracy, and cheap shades—all brought to you by John Carpenter and the Reagan era.

In The Rock (1996), Nicolas Cage plays a nerdy chemist who suddenly becomes an action hero because apparently, science and explosions are the same thing. Sean Connery shows up as a suave ex-prisoner who escaped Alcatraz once and now has to break back in, because irony is the real villain here. Ed Harris leads a group of patriotic terrorists who think chemical weapons are a reasonable form of negotiation. It’s two hours of macho one-liners, green death balls, and Nicolas Cage screaming about VX gas like it personally insulted him.

The Ghost and the Darkness is basically Jaws, but with lions and fewer functional accents. Val Kilmer tries to build a bridge, but instead builds a buffet line for two man-eating cats who think they’re horror movie villains. Enter Michael Douglas, rocking a mullet and a rifle like they’re superpowers, only to prove he’s just as edible as everyone else. By the end, the lions are the most competent characters in the movie.
