not really sure how people view it (or even how i’d view it now nearly 30 years on) but i liked that weird Final Fantasy: Spirits Within movie when it came out. haven’t seen it since it was in theatres though so not sure what i’d think of it now; i just thought it was neat at the time (and age of 10)

Oh shit, I'm with you. Really good story. Not final fantasy but still really good. I do go back and notice all the uncanny valley stuff now but I'm not as sensitive to it as other people.
Weekend at Bernie's
Tommy boy got shit on by siskel and ebert, which is why I never trust their reviews. That movie is a 10.

Dirty Grandpa.
It's much funnier than it has a right to be. Also, Aubrey Plaza really, really wanted to fuck Robert De Niro, and fought to get the role for that reason. Its ending sex scene is one of the most genuine in Hollywood because of that. Of course, Aubrey Plaza makes things better just by showing up.
Critics who hate it need to lighten up.

Not the worst rating at around a 60% on Rotten Tomatoes and around a 6.5 on IMBD, but I absolutely without question love An American Tail: Fievel Goes West.
Definitely a fun "sequel" with a lighter tone than the original. Though I will definitely say the Native American mice scenes are definitely outdated and a product of their time if you ask me.

Does Borat the original count?
The live action Transformers movies. ALL OF THEM.
Shit blew my mind when the first one came out. Weird faces and all. I cannot get enough of these robots beating the tar out of each other and sometimes committing war crimes.
Dark of the Moon in the third act is still one of my favorite pieces of cinema.
Titan A.E
Grandma's Boy
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
Dude I fuckkkkking Loved Titan AE. Such a good movie for its time when adult cartoons weren’t everywhere. Cartoons at the time were all hand hold-y and made for kids; it was such a breath of fresh air.
Well, I believe Pixar was around, but this was a great scifi epic, too, with a fantastic soundtrack, cast, and just everything. I too adore it to death. Long live Planet Bob.
Haven't seen Titan A.E. in a long time. Great film. Definitely need to rewatch it.

Breakfast of Champions - I don't care if it totally bastardized Vonnegut, I really liked it.
Mystery Men - Again, I don't care if it totally bastardized Bob Burden.
Titan AE
The female version of Ghostbusters.
Zardoz.
Hackers. Fuck you if you say one bad thing about this movie. It is glorious.
Mystery Men & Hackers are among my guilty pleasures.
I do love hackers.

Waterworld. I love that movie so much. I've watched the theatrical, TV, and Ulysses cuts. I've read the comics. I've played the games. I bought it on Blu-ray the day Arrow released it.

Bloodsport.
What a great movie! It was also well received by the audience not critics 0, was a financial success and kickstarted Jean-Claude Van damme's career.
Let's not even talk about the soundtrack conceivably one of the best pieces of written music ever made.
(Anybody who's actually ever listen to the soundtrack is currently nodding their heads)
Freddie Got Fingered. SOOOO ahead of its time. I love Tom Green.
You're probably being sarcastic but the two guys that already commented on here are totally Fanboys of Freddy got fingered which is you know probably not good.

I JUST rewatched Gone in Sixty Seconds on a whim, on like Thursday, and spotted that it apparently has a 38% critic rating from Rotten Tomatoes. Fuck that noise, that movie is a materpiece of filmography.
This is the movie we use to test our systems. Soundtrack rocked, it's my fiances favorite.

Attack of the killer tomatoes!
Last action hero. I think the people don't understand that the film does it all on purpose.
It is a love letter to action movies while acknowledging that those are stupid.
It's a fantastic movie that was just a bit late for the spoof movies of the late 70s/80s and too soon for the torrent of them in the 2000s.
'I am the famous comedian Arnold Braunschweiger' is not only something I say to my wife without context but also makes me laugh uproariously.

Well it's not a shit rating but I do think A Knight's Tale is way better than its mediocre scores. Perfect comfort movie.
