Listener Suggestion... Super Mario Bros.

Of course, it seems obvious now to reimagine the iconic video game characters for 1993's SUPER MARIO BROS. movie as being captives in an alternate dimension steampunk police state where people evolved from dinosaurs, which has been infected by a sentient testicle fungus and opponents of the fascist regime are de-evolved into barely conscious lumbering abominations but it took the largely untried husband and wife team Rocky Morton and Annabel Jankel, writers for MAX HEADROOM, to bring this creative vision to the cinema screen.  Incredibly, this "gritty and adult" version of the beloved platforming franchise was exactly what Nintendo and the production company Lightmotive envisaged, though whether the dreadful pacing, incoherent plot, awful score (wtf Alan Silvestri) and staggeringly painful unfunniness was by design is another question. Still, it has inspired a following of devoted fans and as someone who is possibly more generous than most to movies, I can see glimpses of things people might enjoy about this; the chaotic sets, the weird costumes, the odd dialogue and all-round bizarreness but make no mistake, this is a terrible, terrible movie.
