Try it with the MST3K treatment.
MST3K and RiffTrax are the reasons I still see those movies. It reminds of my days as a kid watching the Saturday afternoon "creature features" on the local UHF channel.
Got a tip for us?

I can remember being taken to "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" and "Horrors of Spider Island" when they were first run in the theater. It was hysterical to see them riffed.
I liked Barbie. It is not one of the greatest movies of all times, but it was entertaining and was much better than I thought it would be. I was expecting an all fluff and marketing kids movie but it was more than that.

let’s just say - it’s not my cuppa tea.
don’t get me wrong - margot is right up there with nic kidman and kylie m as goddesses here in australia, but she is a much better actress than that.
furthermore, when you have the prat justin trudeau going along to see it half dressed like a sheila and being its biggest fan - that says it all for me …
ps. - think you'll need to view on amazon prime - unsure if dizzy has it
Star Trek Into Darkness.
its like a copy of a copy of copy

Haven't seen that, but did watch Ford vs Ferrari some time ago. That was quite fun. Also the doco (can't remember its name, maybe it was on Youtube) about making the film, especially the night racing scenes.
Rebel Moon (2023 Netflix)- Just finished this described as a Star Wars POC, knockoff. Ok, it started out reasonably, the first fight was decent, I love when the underdog, kicks the crap out of a room full of baddies, and I don’t mind tactical SLO-Mo. I recognized 7 Samurai, mistakenly became hopeful, but then it all went to hell as a muddled who-cares (?) farce. 🤔 Pray they don’t foot a Part 2.
Atomic Blonde (2017)
Lot of fun with double the action, yet still a serious slant on the events of the day. Was living in Germany when the Wall came down, still have a small piece of the Wall that I kept as a memento...
Back to Atomic Blonde, those that have watched will get this reference...

Just watched, again, Hidden Figures.
I was able to locate the book that Katherine Johnson uses for the Euler Method she mentions.
It was The Mathematics of Physics and Chemistry by Margenau and Murphy.
The first time I saw the film (in a theatre) when we got to that scene I jumped up and down and said "I know that book", because I had used it for a different purpose during my University career.
Specifically, she accesses Page 485, section 13.7, as below
