"Vertical Limit" with Chris O'Donnel was the first movie that came to mind for this topic. One of the rankest pieces of big budget Hollywood garbage ever created. Painfully predictabe, totally unbelievable acting (typical O'Donnel) and impossible stunts abound. One critic noted that it was as realistic to mountain climbing/rescue as Spy Kids was to world espionage. Once you get past the annoyance of all the rediculous scenarios stacked on top of each other, you can have a good laugh at its unwavering intension of insulting the veiwers intelligence. This is especialy true at the end where the heroes gaze at each other with creamy smooth, unweathered faces, totaly uneffected by one of the harshest environments known to man.
