"Awful" movies with bad ratings that simple LOVE?

I do not know why, but most of the movies I REALLY like end up with bad reviews, like Eagle Eye and stuff.

One particular movie that still holds a special place in my heart is the Beautician and the Beast, I don't know why but I love this movie insanely, but it was shot down unmerciful by critics. And people mock me for it.

What about you? What "bad" movies do you REALLY like?

UHF got some bad reviews from the critics when it came out in '89.

Braveheart, The Patriot... Why don't I just list most of my top 10? :P

Is that the one with Timothy Dalton as some sort of east European dictator and the actress who plays Janice in Friends? It rings a bell. And yes, I thoroughly enjoyed Eagle Eye as well.

My favorite movies are Repo! The Genetic Opera, Evil Dead Trilogy and Boondock Saints; all of which have bad ratings.

The Fountain was really good imo

Braveheart, The Patriot... Why don't I just list most of my top 10? :P

Transformers....what can I say....I love my brainless action flicks :oops: Darth-Caedus

Wow, well that makes sense I guess. Raimi pushed the envelope for horror flicks with Evil Dead but what about the rest of the trilogy (I hate rotten tomatoes btw XD)

Army of Darkness - 76%

Shark Attack 3: Megladon

*massive shark explodes*

'Megla-who?...' *corny laughter with fade to black*.

Followed by Sharks in Venice...yeah pretty amazing.

My so-bad-that-it's good movie has to be 'The Italian Job' with Mark Wahlberg and Charlize Theron. This is one that I probably shouldn't watch over and over again, but I do. It's no where near as edgy, violent or cool as it could have been, but it's good light entertainment. The heist(s) were fun and imaginative, as well as the chase sequences.

Also, Edward Norton stood out as the annoying, wimpish bad guy, Jason Statham was funny and charming, and Charlize Theron held her own with the all male cast. [spoiler] Love it when she punched Norton's character at the end. :D [/spoiler]

Even though the original is far better, this is a fun re-imaging in my book.

Ive only seen evil dead 1. ugh, the self cannibalism.

I'm a horror freak and I love a lot of them, and the majority tend to get bad reviews. Doesn't matter to me, they reviews don't change my opinion of it.

I really like Cabin Fever.

Total Recall. Mindless violence, puns so bad their good, chick with three boobs. One of my favorites.

Burt Reynolds movies from the 1970s. They're pretty bad, but I can't help but like them. Movies like White Lightning and Gator. The pics say it all:

"It's my kind of film. Booze, broads, car chases, corruption and revenge - all the things that make life worthwhile". :P

And then there's Gator.

Oh yeah.

Braveheart has awesome ratings..

Anyways.... Terminator!

And uhhh... I thought that You, Me and Dupree was alright.

I can't think of many others, but I'm sure there are quite a few. Critics are way way too harsh, and occasionally dead wrong (Ebert thought that Gladiator and LOTR: The Fellowship were terrible).
