Tenet is criminally under rated at 69%. Easily one of my favorite movies of all time.

Zardoz. 49% at RT. I genuinely love it. It's insane and weird and doesn't make sense and it's wonderful. I even have an original poster framed in my house.
Mine is Stealth from 2005. Not high art by any means, but a fun action movie with some pretty cool special effects. Also written by the guy who wrote Big Trouble in Little China and directed The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension so bonus there.

Southland Tales - 41%
Any transformers movie. I just like seeing a bunch of cars transform into robots to then fight each other.

I'm cheating a bit with a 1994 movie, but I genuinely enjoy watching Wagons East! It has 0% on Rotten Tomatoes, but I like it. I'm probably the exact target audience: I like westerns, and I like movies that make fun of them.

I just checked, The Colony is only rated 54% on rotten tomatoes, wtf!? I admit it isn't flawless, but it's a welcome addition to the sci-fi genre. Your could sum it up with : "Avatar but the Na'vi are the humans the privileged left on the devastated Earth". The old colonist routine is even more uneasy to watch when it's against your own kind.

Probably Elizabethtown - Cameron Crowe movie from 2005.
I don't trust and hence use these rating services. I just watch the full movie

I really like the City of Ember movie, even tho it was a major flop.
Waiting is a fantastic movie. Hilarious, especially towards the end with the new hire. 30% on Rotten Tomatoes.
It’s a smidge over the threshold (63% reviewer score and 29% audience score) but I like this one more than the Ed Norton one (and the thought of him shifting based on heartrate is so fucking dumb) and I’m just kinda meh about Ruffalo’s Hulk.

Next (2007), starring the One True God, alongside Julianne Moore and Jessica Biel.
It's a brilliant movie (loosely) based on a Philip K Dick short story. It's been nominated and won actual awards (Worst Actor and Worst Supporting Actress from the prestigious Razzie Awards, Worst Foreign Actor from the Yoga Awards), and it stands the test of time comfortably at 28% on the tomatometer.
I wish I was kidding. I've watched this over a dozen times. I can't stop. Send help.

"Freddy Got Fingered". So stupid and obnoxious that it might actually be brilliant. Arguably

The Cheap Detective (1978) by Neil Simon with Peter Falk. Laugh out loud funny. I love Falk in comic roles. I thought The Cheap Detective was much better than Murder by Death (1976), but I seem to be in the minority there.
I'm Thinking of Ending Things. I love how bizarre it is, watched it like 3 or 4 times. I was surprised to see it has 50% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
