History NarmCharm / Film

** Speaking of ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises'', there's Bane's voice to some people. His voice is full of VocalDissonance and is quite silly, but at the same time it can still roll into a horrifyingly unexpected variation that utilizes {{Narm}} to it's advantage: the Narm of it all makes you have to tell yourself that Bane is an AxCrazy KnightTemplar with a [[FauxAffablyEvil false politeness]] that can really catch you off guard if you don't look past the Narm.

* Nero in ''Film/StarTrek'' tends to be ridiculously [[LargeHam over the top]] (see: his introduction as "Hi, I'm Nero" and "[[ShoutOut SPOOOOOOOOOOOCK]]"). It just makes the movie more fun. "FIRE EVERYTHING!"

* Many of the musical numbers in ''Film/ThePolkaKing.'' A chubby heavily-accented guy in sequins singing about ImmigrantPatriotism backed by a [[PolkaDork polka band]] and a dancer in a chicken costume could easily have been {{Narm}} incarnate, but {{Jack Black}}'s showmanship sells it.

* Fievel and Tanya's rendition of "[[AwardBaitSong Somewhere Out There]]" in ''WesternAnimation/AnAmericanTail'' has this, because they had the child voice-actors [[https://youtu.be/l_iRdgGZ6Xc sing it themselves]]. But despite their voices cracking at points, it adds a genuine feel to the song that is missing in Music/LindaRonstadt and Music/JamesIngram's [[https://youtu.be/Smc5FHbZtG4 version]], which also gives it a more romantic tinge.

* ''Film/XMen'':

** ''Film/TheForceAwakens'': Hux's speech is filled with ChewingTheScenery and is rather amusing, yet it works for a number of reasons. For example, Hux builds up to his outburst, beginning softly, as if he is genuinely growing more and more incensed, Domhnall Gleeson doing everything he can to really sell the performance and how the speech is actually very similar to real world dictators like UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler and UsefulNotes/BenitoMussolini. And of course it looks ridiculous to us. It's not meant for us. Hitler looks silly in his speeches, but to those exposed to Nazi propaganda for years, it was memorable and powerful. The First Order is much the same way, way more visibly than the Galactic Empire. Oh, and the overly dramatic speech proceeds [[spoiler:Starkiller Base destroying a whole star system, with the score by Creator/JohnWilliams making the moment very beautiful and haunting.]] These elements make the whole scene come off as silly, but authentic and it's hard not to get sucked in.

* ''Film/GIJoeTheRiseOfCobra''. Over two hours of [[{{Troperiffic}} every action movie cliche]] turned UpToEleven and Creator/ChristopherEccleston and Jonathan Pryce, clearly enjoying themselves. Joseph Gordon-Levitt ''embodies'' HamAndCheese in that movie, apparently deciding to play Cobra Commander as "[[WesternAnimation/TheTransformers Starscream]], by way of [[VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic Darth Malak]], with a touch of Film/DrStrangelove." The cast gets in on this, Ray Park manages to do it without ever saying a single word, ''that's'' impressive.

** Speaking of the 1998 movie, any movie by Creator/RolandEmmerich such as ''Film/IndependenceDay'', ''TheDayAfterTomorrow'' and recently ''Film/TwoThousandTwelve'' will apply. He gets most of the facts wrong, but you can't help enjoying [[SceneryPorn stuff getting destroyed]] [[SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome through awesome visual effects]].

* ''Film/{{X-Men}}'':

* AlPacino's first scene with Creator/JohnnyDepp in ''Film/DonnieBrasco'' was noted on the Director's Commmentary as one that could have been pathetic, but worked due to Pacino's skill. Lefty's line, "In all the five boroughs, I'm known. I'm known all over the fuckin' world. Anybody asks ''anybody'' about Lefty from Mulberry Street..."

* ''Film/JupiterAscending'' has EddieRedmayne, who's ridiculous performance as the film's BigBad saves what could have been a disaster piece and pushed it into SoBadItsGood territory. He performance clearly steals the show, with such lines as: "I CREATE LIFE... and I destroy it.." "GO!" and the epic: "YOU WANTED ME TO DO IT!" His over the top performance of speaking in almost a whisper to suddenly shouting is a sight to behold.

* Before Nero, there was Kruge in ''Film/StarTrekIIITheSearchForSpock''. One of the more GenreSavvy, diabolical villains in ''Star Trek'', and Creator/ChristopherLloyd does his best to play the part with intensity, but he's doing it with [[Franchise/BackToTheFuture Doc Brown's]] voice, so you keep expecting him to exclaim ''"Great Scott!"'' or ramble about "One point twenty-one jigawatts of electricity!"

* ''Literature/{{It}}'': "Oh yes, Georgie! They ''all'' float! And when you're down here, with me... YOU'LL FLOAT TOO!!" It's easy to overlook how silly that line is when it immediately precedes one of most frightening scenes in the movie.

* In ''NightAtTheMuseum 2'', Octavius tends to come across as almost constantly narmy, taking himself way too seriously and [[PunctuatedForEmphasis dramatically shouting/growling every other line]]. And he becomes all the more brilliant for it.
