I like the White Men Cant Jump remake.
I actually think that theres some movies that SHOULD be remade every 15 to 20 years. I would watch Major League if it was remade every 5 to 10 years. New city, new cast, new jokes, new location, callbacks, subverting expectations... but same premise a shitty baseball team needs to get better or else. Give young up and coming actors an excuse to have fun, ham it up, play a wacky character.
Hell make it a punishment for being the statistically worst team for the season that they make it. "Sorry Boston but... you really ate shit this year..."

Josie and the Pussycats.
Rated 5.7 by people who had no clue what it was saying at the time. I feel like if it was released in today's pop culture environment it would fare far far better.
It's far more satirical, clever and funny than an Archie adjacent bubblegum pop movie has any right to be.

Costner’s Robin Hood. Rickman is awesome.
Excalibur. Just an over the top film.
Pretty much all of the shitty ‘80s action films, from Commando to Bloodsport. They’re awful fun.

The new Total Recall. It’s a fun ride.
I thought it was good as a serious sci-fi movie; but I still prefer the campy-ass original as an action/comedy.
I adore the original, but I'll die on the hill that the Total Recall remake is great fun and worth watching.

Although usually spoofs don’t get any good rating I think this one should be an exception:
Scary movie 3
It honestly did it better than the movies it was making fun of. And it was truly about a scary movie (the tape from the ring).
Also, crack high voltage is way more fun than the rating lets on.

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)
Robot Jox... We can both live!
Watched it so many times back in the day. My friend had it on laser disc of all things
The Last Dragon and Bloodsports.
The last dragon is one of my favorite movies of all time. That last fight scene man so much nostalgia right there.
Stay
Massively underrated film imo.
Great recommendations in here. One thing that surprised me personally was
civil war (2024)
great movie, had a blast. Was surprised rotten tomatoes / IMDb seemed to hate it.
My running theory on this is the Americans really didn't like how close it hits home/stings, and just gave it a bad rating
