The 2005 Doom movie is pure schlocky fun. It's a horrible adaptation of Doom and most of the actual science fiction is absurd, but as a disposable sci-fi action movie it's fun. Definitely turn-your-brain-off entertainment.
Movies you like, that are widely panned.

Anybody else feel that "bad" movies from the 80s and 90s are more worth watching than most movies today?
Even something like Howard the Duck is fascinatingly terrible and enjoyable in its badness.
Most bad movies today or even the critically acclaimed movies of today are just so dull and boring.

Terminator: Genysis really was a lot more fun and faithful to Terminator 2 than people were complaining about.

Constantine: a very interesting sequel to The Devil's Advocate.
At least it didn't kill the comic line like the Stallone movie did.

Angels Egg (Tenshi no Tamago). Believe it or not it's my favorite anime.
The full movie is on youtube. Amano - the guy who makes the Final Fantasy art was involved.

I enjoy Scary Movie and sequels. Hell, the slasher and horror genres are usually poorly rated

The non-Eon Casino Royale from 1967, starring David Niven, Peter Sellers and about five other people as James Bond. It's an anarchic, grotesque mess that ends with the casino blowing up and everyone going to Heaven except Woody Allen who burns in Hell. Everyone seems to hate it but my dad showed it to me years ago and we both loved watching it. It's stupid, overly violent, has like seven directors who all went in their own directions the overall product be damned and is probably more easily appreciated in today's post-post-post-post-seven layers of irony climate than in the late 60s.
At the very least it's better than Spectre.

Johnny English is better than Spectre. It's not a high bar.

Amityville 2: The Possession is actually pretty good, despite the latter half being a complete ripoff of The Exorcist. It’s a hell of a lot darker in tone than the first one
You never hear about it, but I genuinely liked Dario Argento’s Inferno and think it’s just as good as Suspiria

The Death wish trilogy (yes trilogy 4 and 5 do not exist) even the original death wish in 74 was hated by the mainstream because of the way it supposedly glorified vigilante justice, the sequels got it even worse with death wish 2 often called the worst movie ever made.
3 is probably the weakest of the series but... It has Charles Bronson using a browning 30 heavy machine gun and the semi automatic 44 magnum from sudden impact. You can't beat that!

The Prophecy. This movie is a neat little gem.
It's an interesting concept for a story, and Christopher Walken is pretty watchable as an evil angel. The story is pretty great and plays with some interesting concepts of faith and loyalty in Christian theology. It also has an interesting interpretation of angels in Christianity. They're expected to be these completely loyal godly creatures that are sent to destroy cities, serve as messengers, and all this other crazy shit. It's not far off to say they're God's hitmen. Would you actually want to meet an angel? And what happens when an angel goes rogue like Lucifer, or in this case, Gabriel?

V is the weirdest of the bunch. Bumping off mobsters with cyanide-laced canolies, a TNT-packed soccer ball, a warehouse wrapping machine, and a vat of boiling plastic.

Yes! Honestly I think this movie has the best portrayal of Lucifer out of any religious horror flick. Really underrated

I actually enjoyed the Hitchiker's Guide the the Galaxy Movie. I know people's asses got chapped because it was so different from the book, but Adams had signed off on most of the changes, and the book was different from the radio series. Sure it wasn't perfect, but it was an enjoyable Hollywood take on Adams' work, imo.

The super mario brothers movie is one of my favourite films while everyone hated it. Even the actors and film crew hated it.
In an ideal world Nintendo would have based the videogame Mario on the Lou Albano Mario or the Bob Hoskins version as a hard-assed Brooklyn tradesmen fighting president Koopa and his globalist schemes. Current day Mario just seems like a bland generic, corporate mascot with a squeaky voice.
