I just checked, The Colony is only rated 54% on rotten tomatoes, wtf!? I admit it isn't flawless, but it's a welcome addition to the sci-fi genre. Your could sum it up with : "Avatar but the Na'vi are the humans the privileged left on the devastated Earth". The old colonist routine is even more uneasy to watch when it's against your own kind.

sharknado (as a comedy)
As a long time watcher of so-bad-it’s-good movies, I find Sharknado to be unwatchably obnoxious. It’s a movie that’s trying too hard to be a cult classic and it feels cynical in a way that makes it difficult. It’s a movie and series that pretty much selling itself on the poster and title.
Mine is Stealth from 2005. Not high art by any means, but a fun action movie with some pretty cool special effects. Also written by the guy who wrote Big Trouble in Little China and directed The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension so bonus there.

Tenet is criminally under rated at 69%. Easily one of my favorite movies of all time.

Probably Elizabethtown - Cameron Crowe movie from 2005.
Zardoz. 49% at RT. I genuinely love it. It's insane and weird and doesn't make sense and it's wonderful. I even have an original poster framed in my house.
I'm cheating a bit with a 1994 movie, but I genuinely enjoy watching Wagons East! It has 0% on Rotten Tomatoes, but I like it. I'm probably the exact target audience: I like westerns, and I like movies that make fun of them.

Southland Tales - 41%
Waiting is a fantastic movie. Hilarious, especially towards the end with the new hire. 30% on Rotten Tomatoes.
"Freddy Got Fingered". So stupid and obnoxious that it might actually be brilliant. Arguably
