Paul Blart, You Don't Mess with the Zohan,Kung Pow and especially The Twilight Saga: Eclipse come to mind. The latter I can argue is a pretty darn good film & easily the best of the series. It's not particularly a "great" movie, but it's as close as the Twilight series has gotten.

Don't listen to the filthy liars or the Nostalgia Critic, Space Jam is a fantastic film!

Paul Verhoeven can do no wrong in my book.  I even love Showgirls but alas it is only ironically.

I hear everyone bad mouth Observe and Report and I found it shocking that the movie is so despised.  I can honestly say that it is one of my favorite dark comedies and the best performance Seth Rogan will give.

I watched Cemetery Junction today and really enjoyed it; only to discover it's didn't go down all that well with the critics. 

I'm not sure if you can classify my affection for the movie as 'unironically' loving it, as I don't think it's a film you can ironically love in the first place. 

Regardless; I found it warm, charming and hilarious; despite it's issues.

George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead. I loved that movie the one time I watched it. I think Cube 2: Hypercube could count too.

I thought Hypercube was pretty great, too. It revels in complete nonsense craziness. I don't get how Primer is high art but Primer set in a cube that bends space and time is shitty.

Well i loved the Spy Kids movies, and I was watching one of them recently and I never realized how bad the effects were and other things of that sort.

@onlineatron: What kind of Ricky Gervais performance should I be prepared for when I watch the film?

  • Kung Pow: Enter The Fist - I still believe that people who hate this movie are utterly fucking retarded. Still waiting for that sequel, Steve Oedekerk!
  • Constantine - Despite Alex's qualms with the audio mixing and how much it veers from the comics, I love it.
  • Gran Torino - The acting is terrible, but goddammit, Clint Eastwood is just too bad ass.
  • Hackers - It introduced me to Angelina Jolie's boobs, and it had a hacker named Cereal Killer.
  • George of the Jungle/ Dudley Do-Right - I love those two flicks so hard.  Brendan Fraser!
  • Bio-Dome - I still believe that people who hate this movie are utterly fucking retarded.
  • Land of the Lost - Despite questioning how it was a PG-13 movie and even remotely related to Land of the Lost, I loved it.
  • Alexander: The Final Cut - Really enjoy the fuck out of that movie. Still cannot explain why.

As for this talk about Kingdom of Heaven, I should say this:  that is a film where the theatrical cut was a fucking mess.  The DVD Director's Cut of that flick is fucking excellent, despite being long as fuck.  The pacing felt much better, the storytelling felt far more fleshed out, and the characters had a lot of depth added that they needed.

@jakob187: I also can't explain why you like Alexander, I hate the hell out of that movie, and I love historical epics, even if they are bad usually (I like the new Robin Hood a bit and know it's bad)

For me, I don't know, I agree with the earlier people regarding The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, I like that a bit.

Encino Man I like a lot, do people consider that a 'bad' movie? It's not exactly high art but I think it's pretty good.

@mylifeforaiur: A Ricky Gervaisy one.

Sucker Punch would probably be the most recent example of this for me. I love the Hell out of that movie.

Thing is, for those last 2, people didn't think those movies were a mess for the director's cuts. They went to the theater, saw a bit of a mess, and that was their impression. Oliver Stone and Ridley Scott both apparently felt strongly enough about the negative reception to recut their movies and even shoot additional scenes. Hell, maybe a good version of Robin Hood (2011) exists somewhere in Ridley Scott's head, but people haven't seen it yet.

Final Destination 3. I'm a big Mary Elizabeth Winstead fan, so I can't not like it.

Zoolander is an awful movie, but it still has some of the funniest scenes I can think of.

The Cube movies, except maybe the third. I'm not sure if this counts though. They are legitimately good movies in certain aspects, but bad in others (like the acting)
