Eye of the Beholder is still one of my old favorites. Nobody I've shown it to has ever appreciated it like I do and it's not well rated. Most people appreciate my movie recommendations, but this is one of the outliers. It's 9% on rotten tomatoes 32% audience score and a 5 on IMDB

Little Nicky, with an IMDB rating of 5,3 lol. I guess it's a nostalgia thing.

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.

Maximum overdrive. 1986, coked up actors, campy as hell but taking itself very seriously, 14% rotten tomatoes score.
The soundtrack alone is worth 20%
The entire soundtrack is an AC/DC album, it's written by Stephen King, it has 80s era Emelio Estevez and the voice of Lisa Simpson AND that badass Green Goblin truck!
That movie is at least 50%, it's just too fun to be any lower.

Convoy. Old trucks, Kris Kristofferson, bad acting big explosions and beautiful women. And that soundtrack, chef’s kiss 👌
“Because we got a great big convoy…”
If anyone wanted to know what the OST was:
Dude Where's My Car is one of my favorite movies with the worst rating of all time.
This used to be one of my favorites. I tried watching this again, high as a kite, with my wife the other day and we made it 35 minutes in before going back to rewatching I Think You Should Leave for the 100th time.
I hope there's gonna be another season of that. It's so fucking good.

That was going to be my answer too. I enjoy that movie and don't care what people think.
That movie is so dumb. I LOVE IT.

Lost River (2014)
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.

- Michael Mans 'Miami Vice' 2006. Absolute shit rating is probably to hard, but the reviews back then were underwhelming (I remember 'style over substance' as a quote)
- The original XXX with Vin Diesel. It feels that nobody got the joke, that it is a parody of the James Bond movies, although a James Bond look alike literally gets killed within the first scenes of the movie...
