Back in the day before RT, it was Ishtar. My parents loved that movie.

Freddy got fingered is the most notorious example of a movie with very funny/memorable scenes that got hated.

Palm Springs should have had best movie oscar, much less nominated, is my biggest pet peave.

I thought Speed Racer was visually fantastic, and did a good job capturing some of the feel of the original show while putting a more modern spin on it. John Goodman feels like he can do no wrong. I just had a good time with it the whole time through.

It seems most people didn't feel the same way I did

Dude Where's My Car?

Nothing spectacular but I thought it was pretty funny. I still remember laughing my ass off at individual scenes. I read ten or eleven reviews of it, and all of them except one said it was the worst movie they had ever seen. Not just bad - the WORST movie they'd EVER seen. Wat?

Oh man there's a movie with Paul Bettany dressed up like a priest, and it's this post apocalyptic cowboy western, but very horror manga in style, and he has a deeply goofy fight with Daywalker Vampire Karl Urban on top of a moving maglev train.

It's called Priest. I've seen it four times at least. It's real bad.

Observe And Report starring Seth Rogan.

It's a movie about a mall security guard and it often gets confused for the awful Paul Blart movies by people, which is why I think it gets dismissed. But it's genuinely darkly funny. It leans into the hero complex of the main character and it gets weird and off putting in the best kinds of ways. If you like Death To Smoochie, you will probably like it.

Prometheus. I don't care how stupid the plot is, and how many holes it has. Its aesthetics are (for the most part) excellent in a way that tickles my brain. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't like it as much the second time though (especially since I saw it in a theater)

I have a bit of a soft spot for a movie called Club Paradise starring Robin Williams. It doesn't review well but it's fun enough. I also love some of the lines from it.

"What the hell kind of a name is 'Moniker?'" (Robin Williams' character's name is Jack Moniker)

"Just seeing that all is well." "Is it?" "No."

"On behalf of her Britannic magesty Queen Elizabeth The Second, I order you to disperse this mob at once or I shall be forced to shoot you between the eyes with a Rather Large Bullet."

"Say hello to Hat." "Possible." (An excellent cook with VERY long dreadlocks was kicked out of the kitchen by the chef because his hair is unsanitary. Jack's solution? A 3 foot tall chef's hat.)

I loved The Chronicles of Riddick! It's bombastic space opera, of which we have much too little that isn't Star Wars tripe, and Vin Diesel is perfect in this role.

Hot take, I enjoyed Chappie. I don’t care that there’s some self-insert band in there, it’s just a funny robot movie

Deathstalker 1 & 2, although the second is far superior.

It's completely tone deaf by any standards, let alone modern ones. Watch as a gang rape is interrupted and turned into what can only be described as a "heroic sexual assault".

The second swaps out the main actor for a much funnier one, and has probably the catchiest out-of-place theme tune of any movie.

You know you're watching a terrible movie, but they breeze along and you can't help but be entertained by it.

Usually the opposite is true for me these days.
