5. Steel (1997)

This movie stars basketball legend Shaquille O'Neal as a hero in clunky metal armor that looks more like a DIY cosplay than high-tech gear. Armed with a hammer and a heart of gold, Shaq battles villains with all the grace of a center attempting ballet. The dialogue clunks harder than his steel suit, and the special effects seem stuck in warm-ups. Yet, the movie's sheer earnestness is something that, coupled with Shaq's larger-than-life charm, turns this cheesy misfire into an oddly lovable underdog tale.
