Time Bandits, the MST3K'ed movie? If it's what I think it is, it's from 1993, has preposterously cheap FX, and has a five-second appearance by Lisa Kudrow. It's hilarious.
Mal: Well said. Wasn't that well said, Zoe? Zoe: Had a kind poetry to it, sir.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor

Many of the movies listed above are truly awful, but the only one I can recall walking out of at the theater for quality reasons (as opposed to me feeling queasy or somesuch) is Out Cold. Yes, this is the movie that rottentomatoes.com gave a fresh rating less than half that earned by The Cat in the Hat.

Alibelle and P-C should run right out and rent Time Bandits. I mean, c'mon! Terry Gilliam! Midgits! Sean Connery as Theseus Agamemnon!! The Ultimate Evil! God!

If I only had a brain...
No. Time Bandits, the insanely brilliant fantasy movie by the insanely great Terry Gilliam, with a cameo by Sean Connery.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Aww. The movie with Caroline Dhavernas? (Hey, and Zach Galifianakis!) That's a shame.

If it's what I think it is,
Nope. This is the Terry Gilliam movie from the 80s. Made around the same time as Brazil, and equally fucked-in-the-head, if less well known.

Eww. I don't like Sean Connery. For me, he's like Nicholas Cage. More of a hindrance in getting me to see your movie than an enticement.

Well, it's a small part, Alibelle. I think he's in it for all of about fifteen minutes. Most of the time it's a little kid, and a bunch of little people.

It's much easier to be in the mood for Time Bandits than Brazil, I've found. (I, natch, own both.)
Though Brazil gave me at least one username, and may at some point give me a personalized plate, if it's not taken in Washington.
