I'll bite.

I'm weird, I generally like a lot of movies that are just plain terrible. I used to have once a month 'Bad Movie Night' where I and some friends would stay up watching back to back bad movies from my DVD collection... this went on for years and I never repeated myself.

Off the top of my head, I used to LOVE Tank Girl, which is just... its just... well, its fucking awful and even I'm shocked that I liked it as long as I did.   I still love Mean Guns, but I'm not sure if its because its got Ice T and Christopher Lambert in it, or I just have an unrequited love of Tina Cote that can never be satisfied due to the shocking few movies she did.

And, of course, the entire oeuvre of Rutger Hauer... especially the low budget schlock he got into in later years (see Tina Cote, Omega Doom...).

Many of my favorite bad movies aren't hated, they are just obscure, often due to low budgets and lower qualities.

So?

Jupiter Ascending?  I think that's where this post was headed, eventually its gonna end up with Jupiter Ascending.  Then again, I could put the new Tom Cruise The Mummy up in here, but I think Jupiter Ascending is a better choice. More hated by others, more liked by me.

whew, that was hard. Give me an easier question next time, mang!

The Star Wars Prequels

I am a little behind on movies and need to catch up. But I think the most recent one like this for me, and I am not 100% sure how much of a minority my view is on it, is Cloud Atlas. I don't believe it was panned, but I remember it being divisive, and have heard from a lot of people who simply didn't like it. I enjoyed it a lot.

This is far from recent but Sleepwalkers is another movie I liked that a lot of people don't seem to care for. It currently has 15% on Rotten Tomatoes. I really loved this movie when it came out. And I thought the soundtrack worked great for it.

Year One was another one that I liked, but most people didn't.

Eyes Wide Shut, but I only watched it after a friend told me of the theory that the movie is all about the title character's descent into his subconscious.

Star Wars Episode I.

I have to assume you are being sarcastic here.
 

I liked everything up here sofar.  

Jupiter Asending I liked but was disappointed in cause it should have been so much more.   So much more!
Its about on par with Valorien and the city of 1000 worlds.

I quite liked cloud atlas.  But I think that was well liked by critics at least.  

I'll add the Godzilla movie with Matthew Broderick.  I had a great time watching that.  At least there were no loons in the jungles of Hawaii.

Quite a few. I won't say they're great movies, but I think the hate against them has been overblown.

The Matrix sequels.
The Star Wars prequels.
Tron Legacy.

Flash Gordon, although it seems now the hipsters are coming around and claiming they liked it all along.

I'm no hipster, but I've always loved Flash Gordon.  Don't tell anyone but I also like Flesh Gordon... though it IS inferior to the original.

On the other hand, I was less enthusiastic about Flash appearing in Ted than most folks.  Flash Gordon is timeless, man... he's not supposed to be old!

You don't have to be a hipster to like Flash Gordon. You just need to be a nerd.

I'm also a bad movie fan and I like movies if they have an aspect I enjoy even if the film in it's entirety is a mess.

I loved the creativity and combat in the Star Wars prequels and the Matrix sequels, even though I can agree with 90% of the criticisms. Thus, I enjoyed Jupiter Ascending as its basically all the mistakes of the SW prequels and Matrix sequels!! But it was pretty and the fights were fun.

No.  I actually liked it quite a bit, at least when Liam Neeson was on the screen.

I've seen included in a Media Studies class before, as a focus on post-modernism in film.
