The Split by Gordon Flemyng
2023 movie #142. 1968. Jim Brown leads a gang who steal the receipts from a Rams football game. When the loot goes missing, the gang has a falling out. Good caper movie with quite a cast. Look at all the familiar names on the poster.
2022 movie #83. 1966. Dr. Who and his companions arrived just in time to stop the Dalek's mad scheme to drill to the earth's core to turn the planet into a space ship. Another non-canon Dr. Who story for those who care about such things.
An absent-minded professor's invention transports him and three others to a post-nuclear alien world.
I'd assumed that all the hatred that Doctor Who fans have for this movie stemmed from its being too different from the TV show (imagine a nerd whining indignantly, "but that's not how it happened!"). And maybe that is why they hate it, but it doesn't matter because it's a crappy movie anyway. There's simply no sense of storytelling. The filmmakers' one and only goal was to put Daleks on film, in color, with enough semblance of a movie around it that people wouldn't demand their money back.

the Daleks' invasion of Earth, 2150 A.D.
It's a significant improvement on the first movie. You might describe it as zany or, perhaps, madcap. But that's mostly thanks to the shamelessly silly score; otherwise, it's a crappy, crappy movie.
