We had a TV show thread but not one for movies. We all have enjoyed movies that we know have been critical flops, or that our friends considered lame.
I'll start with a few.
Doctor Detroit
Big Trouble in Little China

Jack Burton: Okay, I get the picture White Tigers, Lords of Death, guys in funny suits throwing plastic explosives while poison arrows fall from the sky and the pillars of heaven shake, huh? Sure, okay, I see Charlie Chan, Fu Manchu and a hundred howlin' monkey temples, and that's just for starters, right? Fine! I'm back! I'm ready, goddammit let me at 'em!

The Last Starfighter
Lord help me, I even enjoyed parts of
Battle Beyond the Stars, a second rate sci-fi version of The Magnificent Seven, both movies including Robert Vaughn in the same role.
