The lowest rated movie that I like, which I could find with some easy searching, was Star Trek: The Motion Picture, at 45% with an audience score of 42%.
A woefully underrated film, in my opinion.
Likewise. It wasn’t anything groundbreaking, but it was perfectly fine and enjoyable. Just not good enough to overcome remake prejudice.
Ishtar has a 28% rating, but it’s really a pretty good movie. The main complaint at the time was its price tag, but the first twenty minutes are classic comedy. Also, it’s excellent from the point they get the camel (though the ending seems tacked on and rushed). People don’t seem to understand its deadpan humor, and Paul Williams’s songs are extremely funny (we always quote from “Dangerous Business” with the lyrics, “If you play an an accordion, you can’t get a job in a rock and roll band.”)
Green Lantern’s at 25%, which is ridiculous. It’s got its flaws, but it’s at worst mediocre fluff.
Next lowest that I can find is Repo: The Genetic Opera at 35%…it’s an actively GOOD movie…but I can understand how it would score low…gory black comedy rock opera? With Paris Hilton, to boot? Yeah, that’s a bit nichey.
In both cases the user scores better reflect my opinion of the movie.
Sucker Punch and Van Helsing have already been mentioned. Another movie that I feel is underrated at 23% is Push.
I’m pretty confident it’s Last Action Hero 37%. And I stand by liking it, that’s a great movie. Just not for its time perhaps.
I think I must be the only person in the world who liked A Thousand Words with Eddie Murphy, which got a whopping 0% on RT and was savaged even on TV Tropes. But I don’t care. I thoroughly enjoyed that film, and recommended it to my Blockbuster customers even.
Oscar (Sylvester Stallone), at 13% (though with a 62% audience score), is the lowest I’ve found so far. My wife and I both love it - I think it’s one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen.
My Name Is Nobody (Terence Hill) has no tomatometer score (audience score 84%).
Tony Anthony’s “Stranger” movies aren’t even listed. 
Speaking of Terence Hill, did anybody like Super Fuzz? It has a 0% rating (audience score 54%).
Off the top of my head, it’s probably Waterworld, at 42%. It suffered from the same problem as John Carter: Too many of the reviewers rated it based on the budget. But personally, I don’t own any stock in any movie production companies, and ticket price doesn’t scale with budget, so I have no idea why I ought to care about that.
The lowest rated movie I could think of is Hudson Hawk at 24%, which I remember as a funny, smart musical comedy that everybody made fun of. All other movies that I thought would rank low didn’t. The second runner up was Tank Girl, which I admit was dumb but I have a soft spot for girl action heroes. Which brought me to The Long Kiss Goodnight, which I was sure would score way low as girl action heroes don’t do well in the box office. But that got a 67% critic and 71% audience. Go girl asskickers!
As has already been mentioned, is there a way to see a list of lowest rated movies or is guessing which movie you like at looking it up the only way to do this?
I just guessed at some less popular movies I like. I was lucky to hit Hansel and Gretel very quickly.
It does not have enough reviews on there to count. I said 50 or more reviews. I suspect the score would rise on that movie if we had more reviews.

I love that movie as well.
-
It also does not have enough reviews to count.
I am not sure it’s overall percentage would rise, though. How did that movie get poor reviews? It’s really funny.
Howard the Duck at Tomatometer of 14% and Audience Score of 38%
I’m guessing that’s mine as well, followed by The Brothers Grimm (38%), TRON: Legacy (51%) and Return to Oz (55%). I was expecting the 1980 Flash Gordon movie to be rotten, but apparently it’s well-respected.
I thought the Sandler-Samberg movie That’s My Boy was genuinely pretty funny. It’s running at 20% at Rotten Tomatoes.
Wow. I haven’t seen it in some time and my tastes have surely evolved since high school, but I thought it was pretty awesome.
Speaking of which, I liked Zapped!, which didn’t fare so well on RT. Again, I was young. And horny.
I would not have guessed Hudson Hawk’s score was so low. I thought, like The Last Action Hero, people had reevaluated it over time (then again, The Last Action Hero is another movie with a lower score than I’d assumed). So you can add Hudson Hawk to my list, cause I thought it was pretty great.

Are you thinking of the 1982 version of this film? RickJay was talking about the 2011 version of it. If the birthdate you give in your public profile is correct, you were in high school when the 1982 version came out. You were born well after the 1951 version came out, so you can’t be referring to that either.
I love me some Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. 35%.
Star Trek: the Motion Picture is not obscure. 33 reviews is not “a few.”
“Let’s try” is a rule? This is a contest?
ETA: a lot of older movies do not have 50 or more counted reviews.
Oh, man. I loved it. Haters gonna hate.
