Rounders 65% Good 

Pineapple Express 68% Good

Lebowski 80% Good

Superbad 88% Good

Dead Poets Society 85%, Robin nominated for best actor...

Not exactly commercially panned films IMO...

 
Missed this thread somehow. I agree with many already mentioned, but I'll add one that I didn't see while quickly browsing: Last Action Hero. Arnie was great in that flick.

 
the town - renner, affleck, hamm.

the rock - james bond, cage.

gone in 60 seconds - cage, ribsi, jolie.

2 nic cage movies, ugh. but i like 'em.

 
Haven't seen in a while, but Toxic Avenger was for me always a classic example of a movie that was so bad yet by some inexplicable alchemy it was magically transformed into a "great" bad movie. But the magic proved elusive, I never saw another Troma Team production (LOL at the studio moniker) out of a few other tries that recaptured it, such as the sequels, Nuke Em High.

Battlefield Dearth a converse example of a movie that was so bad - it was just heinous.

Um, do you know what critically panned means?

The Town is 93% fresh on RT.

And I don't think The Rock was panned either.

 
"Name your favorite shape(s) that have at least 4 angles..."

"Circle, oval, triangle, straight line"

 
On the Nick Cage front; Con Air, The Rock, National Treasure (1 & 2) & Gone in 60 Seconds are high on my list of guilty pleasure movies.....all critically trashed movies.

Other fun crappy movies; XXX, Independence Day, Beer Fest, Mannequin, Teen Wolf & Waterworld.

The first that comes top mind to me is Speed Racer. 39% with the critics at Rotten Tomatoes (60% with users). I think it might be the most successful attempt to recreate a cartoon world in live action.

EDIT: For comedies, Eurotrip seems to fit. Under 50% with the critics. I get that it's uneven, but when it's funny it's really funny.

Eurotrip is amazing, and I will fight anyone that disagrees.

 
Jeepers Creepers 1&2, particularly the second one.  It's a low budget creature feature but I find some of the effects to be pretty good and my son and like where the story was going.  Too bad the third installment has been held up for so many years.  

Anaconda- seeing the outline of dudes face as he's being digested=awesome!

Resident Evil, any of them- They're all the same movie just repackaged but I still sit and watch if they're on tv.  Mila Jovovich is really nice to look at so that is part of the charm.

The OP was for critically panned films.  Maybe RT is one way to measure, but I assumed he meant more by professional critics and shunned the Oscars.  But without more objective parameters, it is kind of hard to judge what qualifies as critically panned.

On IMDB they give a critics metascore.  Would think, like school, 70% would be the pass/fail line.

That's how I took it.  Changes things quite a bit if we use current RT ratings.

That's the point of this thread. By all accounts it is a terrible movie but you like it and can't help but watch it anytime it comes on.

Is there an RT threshold here?  For example, Now You See Me is 50% from critics on RT, 70% favorable from audiences?  Is that movie too highly-regarded to qualify?

Perfect for this list.

Excellent.  My list would be a mashup of heist/con movies and sports movies just under the RT threshold: the aforementioned Now You See Me, anything from the Fast & Furious series before the critics finally gave in and recognized the franchise's greatness, Gone In 60 Seconds, (I'm stunned the remake of The Italian Job with Walhberg and Norton was to well-liked for critics to qualify) Varsity Blues, Hardball,  Mighty Ducks I and II.

It really isn't.  Hint-  it is not Shawshank and Dead Poets.

70% is an above average rating/movie.  How is that critically panned?

I would assume we are looking for sub-50% scores here.  

 
Roger Ebert famously didn't like Dead Poets Society.  I think he's the only major critic who panned it.

I'm a Eurotrip fan too.  

Also:

Beerfest

Tron: Legacy

Mallrats

Orgazmo

The Doors

The Golden Child

Green Lantern

I would sort the movies on that site and do the eyeball test.  I just narrowed the tomatometer down to just the 70's, then just the 50's.  I saw 2 movies in 2 pages that I thought were okay on the 50's pages (And defining okay as I'd watch it once).  70's I saw a bunch that were okay, maybe 2 that I'd watch more than once.  I don't think anyone is screaming oscar snub on that 70's page.  I don't think the movies are evenly distributed from 0-100.

Fantastic. I love this movie. It's the most cutting satire of modern sports ever made. But even the South park guys have disowned it.

Love this one too.  It's funny to hear Al Michaels trying to cover his tracks on doing this movie (on the BS podcast).
