Kangaroo Jack (2003) for me. It’s not objectively good but I found it silly and fun, and it’s one of my dad’s favorite movies. Never really understood why it’s so panned (9% critic and 29% audience on Rotten Tomatoes)
The first Silent Hill movie and the Tim Burton Charlie and the Chocolate Factory stand out for me. The consensus seems to be that they suck, but I like 'em.
Basically any movie-adaptation of a book. I know I’m in the minority on this, but if I wanted the story of the book, I’d be reading the book, not watching a movie that’s often merely based on it. A new spin on an existing tale is the best of both worlds imo.
Ok but ready player one could have tried alot harder
Congo is one of my favorite movies of all time I can recite every line in it. It’s only got a 23% on RT and like a 5/10 on IMDb but I don’t care. I still love the fuck out of that movie
i feel like it’s much harder when you finish a movie, and you hate it, and then find out it’s one of the most critically acclaimed movies of all time.
this was my experience watching taxi driver. to this day, i have not been able to find a single other person who disliked that movie as much as i did
Taxi Driver is a movie I can recognize as being a great piece of art that I don’t enjoy.
Joker 2
Ant-Man 3
I Saw The TV Glow
Leave The World Behind
Oh and two Christian movies I like the most, Courageous and Mom’s Night Out. Solid 7/10s that are treated like 3/10s because they’re Christian.
Usually the opposite is true for me these days.
I thought the Percy Jackson movies were pretty cool. I was very wrong
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was my jam as a little girl… but it might just be because I ended up being bisexual and there’s a lot of beautiful and badass people in it.
Yes I remember enjoying this movie. I loved all of the characters from legends and stories, as well as all of its steampunk elements. It’s totally underrated.
That car with the four front wheels was epic
Fun movie! Idk if I ever bought the DVD but I would always watch it when it was on TV.
Have you ever read the comics? Quick read, and vol 2 is a straight up banger.
Death to Smoochy, my dark comedy about the mafia world inside of children’s TV show is utterly fantastic and I will not be taking questions.
That movie is fantastic. I had no idea it had poor ratings. Just thought it flew under the radar.
My problem is that most movies I like were never universally panned, they were just sort of so so. Movies like Fandango. I really liked it but I think it got like a 5.5 on IMDB.
Just had this experience with The Men Who Stare At Goats. Thought it was a good watch, like 6.2 on IMDb. Would recommend
I also highly recommend the book (and all of Jon Ronson tbh)
6-7 on IMDB is a pretty decent score, plenty of good movies in that range. If it’s 5 and below it means it’s right proper schlock.
One thing I had to learn quickly was that my preference towards anything cultural was not in line with what my peers found good/cool, so I strode down the road of enjoying what I enjoy and let others enjoy whatever they enjoy.
Here’s a short list:
Roadhouse
The 13th Warrior
Both Ewoks movies
Roadhouse
Open up your heart and let the Patrick Swayze Christmas in
Both Ewok movies
I remember seeing the first one in the theater when I was a kid and I later saw a letter my Mom was writing where she said it was a dumb movie, but the kids liked it. I was offended!
My tastes may be questionable but that is too much even for me.

The movies can be considered bad, for today’s standards but for what I care, it was a great way to spend some time. Where else could we se cannibal Care Bears?
Oh yeah, she was right, it was a dumb movie. But a good kid’s movie!
Wait people didn’t enjoy the 13th warrior? I loved that one as a child!
I still enjoy the movie today.
And I once found it in book format but the text was too riddled with errors and typos to be enjoyable and worth the asking price.
Sisters Brothers. it has decent reviews when i look now, but it seems to have flopped real bad at the theaters. I watched it free on YouTube and was amazed by it, and then I looked it up and saw it bombed. $38m budget, $13m box office. Oof
I’ll never not like Waterworld
Like most, I totally disagree. However, it had such great potential.
I feel the same about Valerian. The imagery was pure eye candy and then I watched it, so looking forward to a great flick, and what I got was… Valerian.
It’s definitely a spectacle.
