15 Best Anime About Vampires
15. Hot Rod
Hot Rod tells the story of an overconfident amateur stuntman who plans to jump over 15 buses to raise money for his stepdad’s heart surgery, just so he can beat him up later. The plot makes zero sense, but that’s exactly what fuels its chaotic, ridiculous charm. | © Paramount Pictures
14. The Fifth Element
The Fifth Element throws viewers into the future where the only hope of the universe is a taxi driver, a perfect woman cloned from ancient DNA, and a magic space rock. It’s a sci-fi fever dream packed with wild costumes, cartoon villains, and a love story that makes absolutely no sense. | © Columbia Pictures
13. Snakes on a Plane
Snakes on a Plane is exactly what it says on the tin; hundreds of venomous snakes get loose mid-flight because a gangster thought that was the best way to kill a witness. The fact that this ridiculous plan actually drives a whole movie makes it one of the most hilariously absurd thrillers ever made. | © New Line Cinema
12. Shoot ‘em Up
In Shoot ‘Em Up, Clive Owen delivers a baby during a gunfight, then protects it from endless waves of assassins while munching on carrots and shooting people mid–sex scene. It’s less a movie and more a fever dream where logic gets gunned down in the first five minutes. | © New Line Cinema
11. Twins
Twins asks viewers to believe that Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito are genetically engineered twin brothers, one made from all the good DNA, and the other from whatever was left. It’s a plot so ridiculous, it somehow loops around to being endearing. | © Universal Studios
10. Space Jam
Space Jam features aliens stealing NBA talent, Looney Tunes kidnapping Michael Jordan through a golf hole, and a climactic game where he wins by stretching his arm like rubber. It’s a movie that feels like someone mashed action figures and cartoons together during a sugar rush and somehow got a greenlight. | © Warner Bros. Pictures
9. Tropic Thunder
Tropic Thunder is about a group of clueless actors shooting a war movie who accidentally stumble into a real jungle warzone, without realizing it’s real. It’s a movie where method acting meets actual warfare, and somehow everyone just rolls with it. | © Paramount Pictures
8. Just Go With It
Just Go With It centers on a guy who pretends to be trapped in a fake marriage, then ropes in his assistant, her kids, and even a fake ex to keep the lie going just to impress a girl he barely knows. The fact that everyone buys this insane web of lies without question makes the plot feel like a rom-com fever dream. | © Columbia Pictures
7. Hardcore Henry
Hardcore Henry is entirely in first-person, and its plot feels like a chaotic video game where you wake up with no memory, get attacked by telekinetic villains, and have to save your kidnapped wife. The story is pure nonsense, but it's all just an excuse for nonstop mayhem and adrenaline-pumping stunts. | © STX Entertainment
6. Malignant
Malignant starts as a typical horror flick until it reveals the killer is a parasitic twin living in the back of the main character’s skull and controlling her body backwards. It’s a jaw-droppingly ridiculous twist that turns a moody thriller into full-blown B-movie insanity. | © Warner Bros. Pictures
5. Swiss Army Man
Swiss Army Man follows a lonely castaway who rides a corpse with incessant flatulence like a jet ski, then befriends it as it talks, teaches him about life, and helps him survive. It’s equal parts touching and absurd, like Cast Away if Wilson had gas and deep thoughts. | © A24
4. Armageddon
Armageddon is about NASA deciding the best way to stop a giant asteroid is to train oil drillers - yes, oil drillers, to become astronauts in under a month. It's loud, illogical, and completely bonkers, but somehow still manages to be wildly entertaining. | © Touchstone Pictures
3. Harold & Kumar
Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle is about two stoned friends going on an epic journey just to satisfy a burger craving and getting sidetracked by cheetahs, racist cops, and a wild Neil Patrick Harris. The fact that this much chaos unfolds over fast food makes the plot hilariously excessive and ridiculous. | © New Line Cinema
2. Bubba Ho-Tep
Bubba Ho-Tep stars an aging Elvis and a guy who thinks he’s JFK teaming up in a nursing home to fight a cowboy-hat-wearing mummy that sucks souls out of the elderly. It sounds completely insane because it is, but somehow, it leans into the madness. | © MGM
1. Face/Off
Face/Off is about an FBI agent and a terrorist who swap faces and identities through experimental surgery, then try to out-crazy each other while living each other’s lives. It’s an over-the-top sci-fi action flick where the plot is so ridiculous, it somehow makes two actors playing each other feel completely normal. | © Paramount Pictures
