What are the low-rated movies you enjoyed the most or think should be rated much higher?
-
Went to a showing of Cade: The Tortured Crossing and it changed my life.
Hell yeah! Any Wiseau/Breen/YKKim screening is always an incredible time.
-
Those just reminded me of another one I like and has a sub 6 score: Beverly Hills Ninja
Added to the queue, thanks!

The brother’s storyline is ridiculous and ruins the movie.
He' plays a type of person that happens in real life and unfortunately they're usually annoying. His opposational defiance was developed earlier.

Wouldn't say I love it but I really liked Not Another Teen Movie when I first saw it. Not sure how it holds up but the parody it makes of those high school romcoms was good.
In a similar vein, Scary Movie 2 and 3 were also really funny to me as a kid.
That movie was great. I love Marilyn Manson's Tainted Love music video he made with the cast of that movie.

I'm asking because an IMDb rating cutoff above 6.5+-5 seems to generally do a good job making sure I don't regret watching something. But what am I missing among the sub-6? I know they exist, but it is hard to select among seas of...bad movies.
I really really like the The Last Airbender movie, the M. Night Shymalan one. It's one of my favorites, unironically, and I think it has a far worst reputation than it deserves.
I also think objectively the visuals are incredible even if you think the story and characters are trash.

That is unironically one of my favorite movies of all time and I think it's hilarious.

IDK about "rated higher" but I love Jet Li's The One
There's exactly 127 universes in the multiverse. Why? Never discussed. And if one version of you kills another, every other version gets that much stronger. So Jet Li plays both the hero and the villain as well as an assortment of the villain's victims. Jason Statham is in it too, as the hotheaded junior partner multiverse cop out to bring the villain down.
Weird guns! Weird tech! A prison universe! Super powered martial arts! A climactic fight in a foundry where you can tell the hero from the villain by the color of their shirt! Man I love this movie!
I actually thought this movie was a sequel to The Matrix when I saw it advertised and saw it in theaters as a result. It was okay.
-
I actually like the Tom Cruise War of the Worlds good sound mixing too.
This is a horror movie masquerading as science fiction. Straight up horrifying.
-
I literally have never met someone that even knows this movie. It’s one of my all time favorites. I watch it from time to time. Crash
and 
Burn!Brother, im here with you.

The Long Kiss Goodnight - retcon it as a prequel to the Bourne trilogy and it's 10 times better. It's already top quality late 90's action cheese.
-
Spice World is madcap mania. Recent Flop House episode about it. It's the only movie I ever watched, rewound, and watched again.
-
VHF, staring Weird Al Yankovick. It's a genuine shame no one else said this. Are people OK?
-
Josie and the Pussycats. Replace "sell CDs" with "Spotify" and literally nothing changes.

I am Yulaw! I am nobody's bitch!
the only thing I remember about that movie apart from the fact that I watched it with my high school best friend with whom I've long since cut all ties
but I do remember we both quite enjoyed it!

The David lynch version of Dune. I find it much more enjoyable than the recent version(s). The art direction and casting are amazing.
The only clunky part is in the TV cut where they use storyboards and voiceovers to give some back history about the Mentats. Pretty sure this was not in the theatrical release though it’s been a while since I’ve rewatched it. Oh and the human close ups of riding the worms is showing its age in the special effects department.

The Dark Backward (1991) - Judd Nelson and Bill Paxton play garbage men buddies in a trash-infested, dystopian city where everything pretty much sucks.

UHF was a goddamned cinematic masterpiece.
Three O'Clock High is the quintessential 80s movie. Seriously, it's like someone said, hey, let's make an 80s movie. It's also got surprisingly good cinematography.

Kinda like coraline masquerading as a kids movie.
-
That movie was great. I love Marilyn Manson's Tainted Love music video he made with the cast of that movie.
Didn't know he did that; pretty funny that Jaime turned goth though the constant zoom onto his grills made me laugh. So glad that fad is no longer a thing
-
I’ve always been sad that the sequel fell through.
I don't think they ever were planning a sequel. Pretty sure that was just a meta joke in the movie and all of the "preview" scenes were just deleted scenes.

Paul (2011) IMHO Frost and Pegg's best movie. Not sure why it's not rated higher, it is simply brilliant.
The Last Starfighter (1984) Epic sci fi flick that was the first to use 3D rendered computer animation. The effects do NOT hold up, but the story sure does.
Chronicles of Riddick (2004) Sequel to Pitch Black and I personally like it much better. Admittedly, that's due to I like that Riddick aims more to sci fi and Pitch Black toward horror. If you like horror more, then you'd probably like Pitch Black better.
