Terminator 3
Starship Troopers
I like Dune too
Battleship. It's got Creedence, aliens, and a battleship doing a handbrake turn.
Quantum of Solace is one of the best Bond films ever made, its relevant (water supply), has great action scenes right from the get-go, nice locations and generally runs along at a good pace.
Much better that the two overblown films that followed.
Star Wars: Attack of the Clones, good film bar the stupid amphitheatre bit at the end.
I did like QoS too, though most didn't
Iron Sky just appealed to my sense of humour and I did like John Carter just felt like it was the prequal to something better.
Though I'm assuming nobody is going to add Jupiter Ascending

Enjoyed it more than the vaunted remake.
Both of these suffered from heavy handed edits.
Event Horizon
Alien 3 (Hybrid Cut) 😀 Always kind of liked the bleak dark tone. Must go down in history as one of the most brutally edited films ever.
Fight club is obviously highly regarded now, but didn't seem to have much impact at the time. I watched it about once a week through a difficult time in my life 🙂
(not actually difficult compared to what some post about here, but it is an amazing film regardless)
I like what a lot of people think are crap action films.
Transporter 1,2 and 3.
Kick boxer
Never back down
Fast and furious (other than the 3rd one which was crap)
Drive angry
Welcome to the jungle
Universal soldier the return
Also most things with Jason Statham, the Rock, Jean Claude van Damme, Steven Seagal etc....
Agree on Quantum of Solace great film.
A life less ordinary is great
Danny Dyer in the Business, before things go t!ts up. 😳 The 80s soundtrack and sunny location might have something to do with it.
I also kind of liked 44 inch chest too.
Haven't watched it in a while but I used to enjoy Charlie Sheen's The Chase more than I should. Really loved the soundtrack and the cameo of Chili Pepper's Flea!
Great critic quote from Wikipedia: "As an example of modern cinematic art, The Chase is an utter failure. As a character study, it can't get past the comic book stage. As a tightly-plotted thriller, it's missing about half the storyline. But, as a piece of unfettered, unpretentious entertainment, it hits the bullseye."

'The Boys Next Door' (pic above reminded me) Mid-80s nastiness at its finest. Saw it at the cinema and loved it. It got universally panned.
"Miami Blues" - lightly regarded in that no-one ever mentions it as one of their fave films, except me. Fred Ward = perfect.
I like Dune too
They made a sequel?
+1 for
Hot Tub Time Machine
Dude Where's My Car?
I also liked Face/Off.
Sorry OP, whilst I agree with you about most of Woody Allen's later films - Match Point was truly awful. I watched it without knowing he'd made it and thought it was rubbish. I was then even more disappointed as the credits rolled and I realised the awful truth.
Tropic Thunder
Con Air +1
Face Off
Demolition Man
The Other Guys
Semi Pro
Deuce Bigilow +1
Hot Tub Time Machine +1
Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze, with Ron Ely. Truly magnificent movie. The scene where he gives a speech to his mates as they board a plane and their light applause builds up to a stadium roar with brass bands playing...Awesome movie, but my mates all laugh at me for liking it.
Bullshot Crummond. What's not to like a bout a hero who escapes from being encased in concrete in a room slowly filling with water by imitating the mating calls of a giant sea squid? Epic movie, but my mates all laugh at me for liking it.
Water. The best of eighties British comedy. Michael Caine and Billy Connolly leading a revolution to free the island of Cascara from UK rule. An unsung classic movie, but my mates all laugh at me for liking it.
C.
p.s. I'm thinking of upgrading my mates, should I Boost them?
Star Wars I, II & III...yes there's annoyances but its still Star Wars
Is Con Air poorly regarded? It's brilliant.
My personal fave, [url= https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Juice ]Blue Juice[/url]. Perhaps the finest example of 20th century cinematography ever made.

[url= https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharknado ]Sharknado[/url] was also ****ing brilliant!
George of the Jungle, makes me laugh, so nothing more to say!
Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze
Agree, great film and soon to be remade with The Rock playing Doc Savage.

It stars Nicolas Cage so is poorly regarded by default 😉

It's a series of set pieces with no coherent plot. It's what you end up with if you take a Bourne film and remove all the interesting stuff.
Grimsby Brothers. Loved it, it tanked at the box office. Trailer makes it look like Danny Dyer fodder, like most Sacha Baron Cohen stuff there's a lot more too it. Very, very funny too.
my favourite rubbish film is
Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man
(Don Johnson and Mickey Rourke)
[quote=Malvern Rider ]
Shawshank
Despite what was said in the other thread, I don't think the number 1 rated movie of all time on IMDB is actually poorly regarded
[b]mrtickle[/b]
I note the smiley face [i]but[/i]... The Rock, Season of The Witch, Ghost Rider, The Family Man, Face/Off, Peggy Sue Got Married...
It stars Nicolas Cage so is poorly regarded by default
In that case I propose City of Angels - excellent remake of Wings of Desire.
Beyond the Valley of the Dolls.
The Whole Nine Yards.
Fast and Furious 1. All the rest are balls.
Event Horizon.
Titan AE is great. My nipper loves it.
Bad Taste. It's a pure classic, no matter what anyone says about b horror movies. Plus, Peter Jackson went on to do some highly regarded work after his early stuff.
I thought Grimsby was great, not too subtle but funny - never thought a fan could make me laugh.
'A Life Less Ordinary' is a beautiful film, ignored maybe, but I’d be surprised if it was poorly regarded.

Really?
Have you considered seeing a Doctor about this?
🙂
I think Wild At Heart and Con Air, both of which I like, contain just enough Nicholas Cage to see me through.
Plus, Peter Jackson went on to [s]do some highly regarded work[/s] [b]utterly ruin Tolkein[/b] after his early stuff.
fixed, etc.
Hard to see how LotR could've been done any better, TBH.
Road Trip: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_Trip_(film)
The epitome of an american college cliche, cheap gags, typical story lines, pointless sexual content, stereotypical characters. Love it. Watched it with friends at a house party once years ago, lines still get quoted now. It's just easy to watch and funny on a basic, unintelligent level.

Same bloke as Priscilla Queen of the Desert. Bloody funny after a beverage or two but rather hard to get hold of a copy.
Almost certainly NSFW:

LOTR I (mostly) liked. It was sketchy in places (Legolas surfing off a horse) but mainly it was all ok, if you ignoring the half hour epilogue of mawkish tosh.
What I'm really talking about is The Hobbit, The Hobbit and The Hobbit. 3 of them. Where 1 would have been amply sufficient. And they were all crap CGI, and not just a few moments of crap CGI like LOTR suffered, I mean that crappest of CGI overloads where physics is something for other films to experience and the story is bent to serve the purpose of shoehorning in yet more CGI. Utter, utter, guff.

+1 I still wonder what Del Toro's version could have been like.
Back on track - I quite like Alien Resurrection as you can see the beginnings of Firefly in the crew. Idle hands was a film I enjoyed in my teens, but I've not seen it for years. Think it got terrible reviews when it first came out. Stoner Comedy horror nonsense 🙂
Space Cowboys springs to mind
It's a series of set pieces with no coherent plot. It's what you end up with if you take a Bourne film and remove all the interesting stuff.
It's what you get if you have Daniel Craig playing Bourne.
Kentucky Fried Movie anyone?
Quantum of Solace is poorly regarded for a reason - it's shite.
Robin Hood Prince of Thieves.
It didn't get great reviews when it came out, it was responsible for [b] that[/b] Bryan Adams song being at #1 for about 3 sodding months, it certainly hasn't aged well and it's got some gaping plot holes and inconsistencies yet somehow I will always watch it and enjoy it when it's on TV.
Demolition Man - love it - it enhances my calm (plus sandra is strangely fit in it)
Starship Troopers - yes, i want to know more.
I know its not seen as cool to like it, but i love the most recent les miserables film. When you have read the book, i think its the most true to the book representation yiu could get.

I think it's down to the late, great Alan Rickman's amazing scenery chewing performance.

+1. A ridiculously underrated film. I think after Shallow Grave and Trainspotting, people had pigeonholed Danny Boyle and were totally blindsided by what he did next.
EDIT. Only 6.4/10 on IMDB and 39% on Rotten Tomatoes, so quite poorly regarded...
