Next (2007), starring the One True God, alongside Julianne Moore and Jessica Biel.
It's a brilliant movie (loosely) based on a Philip K Dick short story. It's been nominated and won actual awards (Worst Actor and Worst Supporting Actress from the prestigious Razzie Awards, Worst Foreign Actor from the Yoga Awards), and it stands the test of time comfortably at 28% on the tomatometer.
I wish I was kidding. I've watched this over a dozen times. I can't stop. Send help.

Red Sonja ruled when I watched it not too long ago. Apparently everyone hated it, critics and audiences alike, but I thought it was fun.

Batman v Superman is great, it just doesn't fit the usual super hero movie tropes in my opinion. The ultimate edition is awesome
I liked Transcendence and I thought it my qualify. 19% from critics, 37% from audiences. Wow, it is over qualified.

Just watched it the other night, 2013 RIPD. It was crazy, out there, pretty funny and just enjoyable to watch. 12% on rotten tomatoes
Southland Tales
The Cheap Detective (1978) by Neil Simon with Peter Falk. Laugh out loud funny. I love Falk in comic roles. I thought The Cheap Detective was much better than Murder by Death (1976), but I seem to be in the minority there.
Bunraku, and despite the title it's an english movie with Woody Harrelson and Ron Perlman. Its setting stands out the most as it's made as a giant paper popup book with a sin city ambiance sprinkled with some cartoony humor.
Although the movie tone is pretty serious ala Sin City, it's not a serious movie at all. And I believe a lot of dont-take-it-so-serious movies got unjustly canned a lot in '00s & '10s by critics. I'm glad to see that's changing a bit over last few years.

I've got 3:
Spy Kids 2, (audience score of 39%), for not only the amazing creature design, but for also being a surprisingly philosophical movie
Sky High, (audience score of 57%). Good superhero comedy where Bruce Campbell is a gym teacher. He's not the main character, but certainly the most memorable
Looney Tunes Back in Action, (Tomatometer of 57%, audience score of 50%). This was my Roger Rabbit. Seeing the cartoons interacting so well with the humans was amazing to me when I was younger, and I still remember some of the more Looney moments. Plus it has Casey Kasem's Shaggy threatening to beat up Matthew Lilard after his performance in the live action Scooby Doo.
The Master Of Disguise
The turtle scene is one of the best things I've ever seen.

The Fountain is my favorite movie of all time, and it has a 52% critic score on RT. Audience Score is better-ish though at 77%, so maybe it's just the critics who didn't get it.

Anyone say Pixels yet?
I'm not an Adam Sandler fan, the effects folks just did a really fun job and I get a little hit of dopamine seeing retro characters in real life.

Hexed, a 1993 comedy starring Arye Gross.
9% Rottentomatoes, 36% Audience.
It's really, really dumb. I recently rented and rewatched it with my wife, who had never seen it and enjoyed it.
The lead character works in a hotel and is a serial liar / conman who meets up with the supermodel he keeps insisting is his girlfriend.
I too liked Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, and as someone else mentioned National Treasure and Transcendence.
Small Apartments - 30%
It seems like almost no one has even seen this movie. An ex-partner of mine rented it from RedBox one night. I thought it looked dumb, but I watched it anyway. It is rather dumb, but it's also amazing. An incredibly dark comedy. My love of that movie has long outlasted that relationship.
Matt Lucas, James Marsden, Peter Stormare, Dolph Lundgren, Johnny Knoxville, James Caan, Billy Crystal, Juno Temple, Rebel Wilson, Saffron Burrows, Rosie Perez, and Amanda Plummer; An amazing, eclectic cast who deliver an idiosyncratic script expertly, managing to give us an ought-to-be cult classic that's more than the sum of its parts.
