23. Observe and Report
Observe and Report is a niche movie that redefines anti-heroes with a refreshingly different approach thanks to the sharp dialogues and clever plot twists. It may not be for everyone, but if you love movies that perfectly cater to their audience, you'll appreciate its cultish charm. | © Warner Bros. Pictures

22. Dog Eat Dog
Dog Eat Dog follows three criminals who try to escape their stagnant lives. Although it never quite transcends its familiar storyline and occasionally slips into sloppy territory, the film remains highly entertaining thanks to its dynamic trio and unforgettable opening scene. | © RLJ Entertainment

17. Venom
Venom is a great movie because it knows exactly what it wants to be. The film perfectly captures the essence of Lethal Protector Venom, the antihero form the character has existed in longest. People who claim it’s a bad Venom movie simply aren’t fans of comics. | © Sony Pictures Releasing

16. Star Wars: Attack of the Clones
Despite negative reviews, Attack of the Clones is still worth watching at least once. The movie has its special moments, but it very quickly becomes obvious that George Lucas is not good at writing romance. | © 20th Century Studios

15. Catwoman
Catwoman is quite an adorable movie with bad reviews. It's corny and campy, but Halle Berry and Benjamin Bratt deliver undeniably hot performances that elevate the film, so it doesn't deserve such a low Rotten Tomatoes score. | © Warner Bros. Pictures

14. Season of the Witch
Season of the Witch feels like a long-lost John Carpenter film, the same crew delivers a killer score, atmospheric visuals, and an intriguing plot about haunted masks that kill children. While not everyone's cup of tea, this movie is worth visiting, at least during the Halloween season. | © Relativity Media

13. Cabin Boy
Cabin Boy is favourite horrible movie for many – it's a messy, quirky cult classic filled with brilliantly stupid dialogue that captures unique charm from start to finish. Unforgettable one-liners make it a loveable trainwreck that’s almost shamefully fun to adore. | © Walt Disney Pictures

12. But I'm a Cheerleader
But I'm a Cheerleader perfectly captures the funny and satirical niche with its core material, tone, and aesthetics. With standout performances from Lyonne and DuVall and a supporting cast that rises to the challenge, this movie delivers a subversive experience. | © Lionsgate Films

11. Hudson Hawk
Hudson Hawk boasts a solid cast, fresh score, and complete self-awareness of being a parody for the blockbuster genre. For those disenchanted with conventional films, the Mad Magazine-style humour offers a delightfully unconventional viewing experience. | © TriStar Pictures

10. Hardcore Henry
Hardcore Henry is an ambitious experiment in action filmmaking that brings viewers into the relentless, first-person combat experience. While the limited narrative and hyperactive approach leave some frustrated, the overall style is still an innovative achievement in filmmaking. | © Versus Pictures

9. Just Go With It
Starring Adam Sandler, Jennifer Aniston, Nicole Kidman, and Brooklyn Decker, this romantic comedy delivers a unique blend of humor and heart through its quirky concept and memorable moments. Despite the low score on Rotten Tomatoes, this film is a hidden gem that proves critics can sometimes go completely wrong. | © Sony Pictures Releasing

8. Sucker Punch
Sucker Punch is a great movie with a dynamic mix of storylines and visually striking settings that hint at a deeper meaning behind the lead’s battle with abuse and loss. The soundtrack and stylish direction make it a uniquely engaging experience that's well worth watching. | © Warner Bros. Pictures

7. Eyes Wide Shut
Eyes Wide Shut received negative reviews upon its release because of the slow pace, exploring too complex themes, and explicit content, which left many viewers uncomfortable. However, it received a well-deserved reputation over time, becoming one of Stanley Kubrick's best films. | © Warner Bros. Pictures

6. Waterworld
Disregard the naysayers, this is a big-budget movie and it looks it with a Mad Max-on-water vibe, complete with layered metaphors and a fun storyline. Critics bashed it partly because of the high price, but that's too harsh. | © Universal Pictures

5. Death Becomes Her
Death Becomes Her is a dark comedy that perfectly balances outrageous goofiness with impeccable CGI, makeup, and a standout cast. The movie has grown into a true gem that charms with its absurdity, visual flair, and brilliantly performed characters like Ernest Menville by Bruce Willis. | © Universal Pictures

4. Scooby Doo
Scooby Doo wasn't well-received when it first came out – the once-beloved characters behaved weirdly, made crass statements, and even turned Scrappy into the villain. Ironically, the audience grew enough to appreciate it, especially with Lillard delivering a standout performance as Shaggy. | © Warner Bros. Pictures

3. Vanilla Sky
Vanilla Sky has a mildly complex plot that was misunderstood by audiences who simply weren't ready for the surreal twists. The layers caused initial dismissal, long before Tom Cruise became known for his couch-jumping performances. | © Paramount Pictures

2. Xanadu
Xanadu is like a wild mashup of Rocky Horror and The Room, featuring hammy acting, bizarre characters, and a series of absurdist dance numbers. Even though every moment is played completely straight, its unintentional goofiness transforms 96 minutes into a cult classic joyride that's impossible not to laugh at. | © Universal Pictures

1. The Thing
The Thing is a chilling sci-fi horror about Antarctic researchers battling a shape-shifting alien with groundbreaking practical effects and a paranoid atmosphere. While the intense gore scares many adult viewers, the inventive storytelling has earned a devoted cult following. | © Universal Pictures
