Not like because it is a “good bad movie”. I mean that you like it because you think it is a really good movie. Also, let’s try to find movies that have at least 50 or more reviews. I guess we can find an obscure movie that has only a few reviews and ends up with a 0%.
I’m not sure I’ve looked up everything, but so far, mine is:
Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hungers - 15%
I liked this movie. I thought it was fun, well made, and it totally pulled me in.
2010’s Skyline is sitting at 15% fresh, with 18% of audience rating as “liked it”. I didn’t think it was the best thing I’ve ever seen, but I’ve watched it a few times now (found the BR for like $3) and IMO it’s definitely better than reviews make it out to be; it’s a decent, but not great, sci-fi flick. It’s certainly better than anything I’ve seen that that stupid SciFI channel produces.
Depends on how far you stretch the definition of “like”. I watched a couple of the movies on the 0% list start to finish more than once as a child. I recall Wes Craven’s Deadly Friend to be kinda memorable - at least, I remember the old lady getting decapitated via basketball to the head. I’m sure I saw Look Who’s Talking Now more than once. Can’t say I remember that one as well, though.
Showgirls is at 19%. I think it’s terrible, dumb as rocks, but I also thought it was genuinely interesting. Unlike a lot of bad movies, even funny bad movies, I was entertained, start to finish, without checking my phone.
Looking through my DVD collection, though, even the supposedly awful movies I own do okay on the tomato meter - Over the Top, maybe the worst movie I own un-ironically, still got a 36%. I must have good (or conventional) tastes.
I agree that Hansel and Gretel was pretty good. Magical diabetes and incest, a winning combination!
ETA: Van Helsing, 23%. Saw it once, in theaters. Liked it a lot.
Sucker Punch is at 23% but I’ve seen it a few times. The plot’s no great shakes but it’s an attractively shot film and the action bits are fun to watch.
Beautiful shot composition, excellent conceptual execution, terrible horrible awful no no NO type of story.
For me this is right up there with Bridge to Terabithia on my list of “Movies I Don’t Ever Want To Watch Again But That I’m Glad I watched Once, Kinda”.
I thought “The Village” by M. Night Shyamalan was not so bad. It is rated at 43%.
And I seem to be one of the few people who enjoyed Len Wiseman’s remake of “Total Recall” (30%).
Neither ranks among my all time favourites, but I felt reasonably well entertained.
I’ll admit that I enjoyed Pathfinder, currently on 11%.
I was looking forward to seeing it on a big screen at the cinema, and saw posters for it ‘coming soon’ but it never arrived! Straight to video in the UK, I think. I picked up a dvd of it a couple of years later…
Technically, it’s not in b&w, but for a lot of the time it might as well be, with much of the action taking place in the gloom of winter. Simple plot about native americans fighting back against heavy metal style Vikings!
I’m not as hot on Home Alone as most people, but it’s an okay movie that is only 54% on Rotten Tomatoes.
People also apparently hated Robin William’s Hook (30%) which I remember liking just fine.
The Great Gatsby (the recent one) is at 48%. Yeah, it’s not Great Art like the book, but I liked it a lot, and thought they did a lot of cool things to translate the look and feel to screen. This is the rating I probably disagree with the most, but I’m also the least surprised about it.
The only things I’ve heard about that movie are:
It oozes style
It has made several of my female friends who don’t usually give a rat’s ass about this stuff to walk out of the theater over it being incredibly misogynistic.
I was wondering this too. Wikipedia has a list of movies with a 0% rating. On it was the movie Zapped. I haven’t seen it in probably over 25 years but as a kid and teenager I loved that movie. Also Empire of the Ants which I also loved as a kid (it was on the 4:30 Movie all the time).
Rotten Tomato knows of the existence of this movie, and yet it has no tomato score. So does zero count as low? http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/human_highway/
It is a wonderful movie, by the way, as long as you like Neil Young and Devo.
Huh…I liked that one too. 'Didn’t even think to look it up. 11%? Wow.
Of my personal picks—aside from the “Revenge of the Zucchini People”-level films, which I still love, but would skew things—I thought GI Joe: The Movie, from 1985, with 41%, was going to be the winner, but…it seems Toys, from 1992, with 26% wins.
I’ve always loved that one, even back from when I was a kid. I own the soundtrack. Even though I think I agree more with the villain’s arguments and ideology than the heroes’ and the moral of the film.
Maybe I’m just a sucker for a gentle, sentimental, stylized setting. And a good bad guy.
There’s a few movies I like that have already been mentioned - The Thing, Hansel and Gretel, Van Helsing and Sucker Punch.
But the top 3 I found:
Ghost Ship (14%) - Nice spooky atmosphere, decent acting, people getting sliced up in interesting ways.
Blood of Heroes (13%) - This has only a handful of reviews, and a decent audience score - so it’s a bit of an outlier. And the sport from the movie, Jugger, is actually played now.
Supernova (10%) - I really like James Spader in this (it’s his lowest rated movie!), and the rest of the crew are appealingly odd-ball.
Superman III is at 26% and has an even worse audience rating. I don’t care. Reeve playing a dark Superman and fighting himself was one of the best things in Superman movies past or present.
This isn’t quite an answer to the OP, but in post #10, GuanoLad wonders how we can get a list of low-rated films. There is a way to do it. Go to the IMDb Advanced Search webpage. Specify that you want a feature film below a given rating (on the IMDb rating, not the Rotten Tomatoes rating). I specified that I wanted films of 1.2 or less rating. It gave me 60 of them.
I decided to look through that list to see if there was anything interesting. I hadn’t heard of any of them. Most of the titles aren’t even in English. I found one that I thought would be available on Youtube and at least worth a laugh. It is on Youtube, in fact. It’s a film of Shakespeare’s Macbeth done by some high school students in Utah in 2009. It’s rated 1.1 because 6 people rated it 1 and 1 person rated it 2. It has, need I say, no Rotten Tomatoes rating, nor any reviews. It was mostly filmed outside with no attempt at chronologically accurate costume or sets. I’ve watched a little of it. The acting is about what you would expect for a bunch of high school students. The camera work is very good, the editing is excellent, and the background music is great. Somehow they got some professional-level people to do those things.
If I compare it with a production of Macbeth that I saw done by some students at Oxford University done in the summer of 1992 while I was there for a conference, I’d have to say that the Utah version was better than the Oxford one. I was willing to sit through the Oxford version, but the women I was with was so disgusted with the overacting that she suggested that we leave just a few minutes into the production. We went to a nearby pub to get a drink, and that was more interesting than the play.
