One I love and haven't seen mentioned is Equalibrium, I've probably seen it 5 times, which is a lot of times for me. I see its ham fisted metaphors and raise you gun karate.

It's great fun mixed with dystopia. I'd take that over yet another romcom / teen makeover movie any day of the week.
Equilibrium is not a shitty movie, right? It‘s simple and straightforward, but in a good sense. Bale really aced the role for what it was!
Office Space.
This is a top comedy movie and doesn't belong here but I'm up voting anyway. It's genius.
Eurotrip ..."Scotty doesn't know.."
Grandma's Boy. If you're a gamer, its a must watch.
Super Mario Bros. No, not the new CGI one, the old live action one. I know I’m not alone in loving this movie, but man is it divisive— those that don’t like it, HATE it, and I think that’s the majority opinion.
I unironically love this movie. It’s not just nostalgia either, though I did watch it as a kid. I also watched the old Zelda cartoon as a kid when it first came out, and I loved it then but I can’t stand it now. No, I’ve watched this movie recently and it still rocks. It’s perfect for what it is, I think.
Hackers
Chronicles of Riddick. Not sure it's considered a "bad" movie, but I definitely like it more than most. Just a crazy entertaining world and system they build in a short 2 hour long movie.
Oh, good one!
Pitch Black, in particular, is one that is hard to explain to anyone who didn't see it under ideal circumstances.
I feel like folks ask me:
"Isn't that just another dark sci-fi edgelord apocalypse movies?"
I mean, technically, I guess, yes - but it's so well done that it becomes something more.
Dude, Where's My Car? is so much better than it had any right to be. And while the main characters are stoners, most of the humor isn't stoner humor. Not that there's anything wrong with stoner humor, but movies that consist entirely of stoner humor tend to drag after a while.
Mystery Men is a phenomenal send up of the superhero genre. It's simultaneously extremely 1999 and decades ahead of its time.
Rubber. An anthropomorphic car tire. If that doesn't describe a masterclass in directing I don't know what does.
Last Action Hero. I know the editing is pretty bad and the rhythm is a bit messed up in the last part but it's the most meta movie ever and an homage/parody to classic action movies. Having Arnold play the main part is the cherry on top.
Office Space all day
Sucker Punch and D.E.B.S.
no, it's not cuz I'm a lesbian!
...ok maybe it's cuz I'm a lesbian
oh also TRON Legacy. "tHe PlOt iS sTuPiD" yeah no shit it's TRON, the original was a glorified feature length CG animation test reel. I came here for pretty lights, cool motorcycles, Daft Punk, Jeff Bridges, and Olivia Wilde being hot, not for prestige cinema lmao
Tremors 2 is peak cinema IMHO. I only wish they had spent a little more on the CGI, or replaced it all with practical effects.
Kung pow enter the fist. Screw what the critics and rotten tomatoes score says. The movie is goated!
The cable guy. Scary Jim Carey is scary. And the ending was visionary.
My wife's family loves The Princess Bride, but I love telling them that Stardust is better. It might not be correct, but it's a pretty fun hill to die on.
Not just one, and DONT GO CALLING The Long Kiss Goodnight SHITTY YOU .. YOU .. MEAN PERSON!
Okay, I've got one that no one has mentioned.
Without clicking the link, just imagine what it might be.
Got it pictured?
Yes. It is exactly what you imagined.
It's Star Wars and Space Balls splashed across Trucker stereotypes. It's affordably made, except when it's trying to be gross - when no expense is spared.
But somehow it's also... just all around...good? It's good. I can't explain it. But... it's just... a pretty good movie.
The characters are relatable. The acting is professional and effective. It's easy to root for the main cast, and against the badguys. All the story beats land where and how they should.
I want to see someone do one of those high minded film making analysis on "Space Truckers", because I suspect it is better on every level than it has any right to be.
Interstate 60 - a cute quirky B movie with some hella famous actors. Gary Oldman, Christopher Lloyd, Michael J Fox, James Maraden, Chris Cooper, Amy Smart, Kurt Russell. It is a fun and imaginative ride along a made up highway. My favorite scene was the town of Morelaw.
Big Trouble - a great movie shut down by circumstance. It was set for release in late 2001, the end of the movie involves hijacking a plane with a nuclear bomb, but then 9/11 happened so they sent it straight to video and stopped advertising it. Based on a Dave Barry novel, it’s a hilarious story involving a crazy cast of characters you may meet in Florida. Another star studded cast including Tim Allen, The Tooch, Martha Stewart, Janine Garofalo, Zoey Deschanel, Omar Epps, Jason Lee, Johnny Knoxville, and many more.
I have only met a couple people ever who have seen either of these movies.
Hudson Hawk. Criminally underrated.
Treasure Planet. There's weird plot choices, but I loved the mixed animation, the music, the characters.
An actually bad but amazing movie would be Miami Connection. Karate rock band sings about friendship fights motorcycle drug ninjas. Fuck yeah bro.
RV with Robin Williams came out at a good age for me, I was like 12 so poop jokes and mean spirited jokes that the movie is full of clicked with me.
Killer Klowns From Outer Space needs no defending. It's just a terrible great time.
