You Don't Mess With The Zohan. Adam Sandler at his finest (worst!).
I know its shit but I loved it.
Amazed to see other people mention Howard the duck
used to love that film
Office Space
(I don't think it was slated as such but did go straight to video in the UK)
Starship Troopers. (I imagine that got slated)
Not so much I don't think. Good film though!
Demolition Man is a brilliant Stallone film, was always pleased to see it appear in the TV schedules.
Waterworld and The Postman are nowhere near as bad as they're made out to be IMO- certainly no worse than any number of other films around the same time that people don't fall over themselves to slate. More to do with the "let's all hate on Kevin Costner" bandwagon at the time.
For some reason I really liked Hard Rain, with Morgan Freeman and Christian Slater, although it didn't do too well I don't think.
Sunshine - awesome music and effects. Head-**** plot.

Amazed because people remember it, almost 30 years later?
It certainly got roasted on reception, to justify inclusion here, and as per Wiki, this year the LA Times listed the film as one of the costliest box office flops of all time.
You know there's a new Howard the Duck coming? End of Guardians of the Galaxy previewed it.

I think they've explicitly said that there won't be a new howard the duck film - at least in the short term - they just thought that was a funny inclusion.
edit:
“I’ll be honest with you, I was just talking about it with my assistant right now. It’s possible Howard could reappear as more of a character in the Marvel Universe. But if people think that’s going to lead to a Howard The Duck movie, that’s probably not going to happen in the next four years. Who knows after that?”

I really enjoyed the 2nd and 3rd Matrix films. Yes, I am aware that I should be ashamed of myself for this
Thankfully no-one has come forward to admit to loving Highlander 2 or 3.

Fair enough! Their humour was lost on me and I cant say Its the sort of thing I'd investigate further 🙂
Loads that have been slated I have made an effort to watch. Most recent was The Lone Ranger which I have no idea why it was slated so much. Maybe a bit long but Enjoyable.
I really liked John Carter of Mars.Apparently I was the only one.
Rorschach, Mrs M and I both enjoyed JC of Mars so your not the only one.
Dune.
My wife doesn't understand why Steven Seagal is great.
"I am hoping that I can be known as a great writer and actor some day, rather than a sex symbol." 🙂
I like films like Kickboxer and AWOL. I know they're pants, but I still really enjoy them.
I like Demolition man too....and Cliffhanger.
I've enjoyed all of the Transformers films too.
Freddie Got Fingered is one of the worst films ever though....it's just not funny.
I've enjoyed all of the Transformers films too.
The problem I've got with the Transformers films is that I always felt that inside there was a good movie trying to get out.
Michael Bay's done the latest TMNT film, this leaves me with something of a quandary.
transformers.all of them as basically I can hear them and as above some great scenes and ideas but also a undercurrent and overt sexism and racism
John Carter of Mars, I read the book at ten and is still there as a fav, lots of ideas stolen from the book and appear on films so it felt like JCM was rehashing rather than being an originator.
Armageddon...........oh why but still watch it
George of the Jungle..........so silly
there are loads of films slated but are great later
Tremors
arnies predator, critics hated it
manhunter brian cox as Hannibal lector
Event horizon
A Life Less Ordinary gets slated on imdb but is awesome. My ex and my current OH love it too (not that they've seen it together, mind)
Con Air...
Who slates Con Air? Let me at them.
Heavens Gate, epic western really loved it.
Jeremiah Johnson, some say he's up there still.
A few +1s here.
Tank Girl. Spot on.
Alien: Resurrection. Guess you need to have seen City of Lost Children etc. to fully 'get' it.
A Life Less Ordinary. Fantastic film. Up with Danny Boyle's best.
Scott Pilgrim vs The World. Quite possibly the best film ever made (certainly top 5), but not sure most critics got it.
i forgot to add this classic film to my list (better than Halloween imho 🙂
just a great film [img]

oh and one of his other films also (bloody awesome ghost story) [img]

Freddie got fingered is awesome.
I love tom green movies, the guy is a genius.
Reign of Fire
Dragons, tanks, Christian Bale/Mathew Mahogany and skydivers, what's not to love?
The Final Countdown
Dig this out at least once or twice a year, whos the best,Tomcat or Zero, there's only one way to find out?
Scott Pilgrim vs The World. Quite possibly the best film ever made (certainly top 5), but not sure most critics got it.
82% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes - I'd say that most critics enjoyed it...
a team with Liam neeson and Sharlto Copley
terrible confusion but some moments of pure wonderfulness
Scott Pilgrim.critics got it indie film goers got multiplex goers didn't get it not...........
Not sure about Top 5 though?!
Must admit I like Waterworld.
QoS +1
Iron Eagle +2, brilliant fighter plane action trash!
In fact Iron Eagle 2 was significantly worse but with better plane action!
Superman III ??
Am currently watching the a team and giggling like a loon.
OK I've never told anyone this but I really enjoyed Battlefield Earth
Demolition man is ace, in my new house I'm determined to have 3 seashells in the bathroom
Judge Dredd (stallone)

I love Back to the Future.
Everyone hates it now 🙁
All the matrix films and all the star wars films. They're all entertaining as long as you don't take yourself too seriously. All the bad reviews I've seen of the ones that serious film watchers don't like sound like they're so up their own arses I'm surprised they can see the screen. They've all got great imagery, good action scenes and keep you watching. If ropey plots made bad films then I can pull out plenty of classics that are awful.
Just watch and enjoy, as soon as you start analysing popular media you've missed the point.
The Lawnmower Man (1992)
[i]Water Horse[/i]
Excellent kids' film
I really enjoyed After Earth, and Divergent.
Back to the future? Back to the future? A stone cold 80s classic? It has no place on this thread...
Nor do star wars episode's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 (checking rotten tomatoes the worst reviews were for episode one?!)
The first 2 matrix films shouldn't be here, but help yourself to the 3rd...
I was going to suggest flash Gordon, but... It's 80% fresh on rotten tomatoes...
I Really enjoyed the first Transformers film
The last one, however, I never knew robots punching each other could be so boring, when the credits came up and it said "written by" I was genuinely shocked that someone hadn't just shat it into existence
Totally agree boba fatt. in fact, i dun a thread about that very theme..
Dune
