I Come In Peace / Dark Angel (1990) - campy sci-fi action with a really interesting premise.
I watched it as a kid on VHS in the early nineties, then spent 20 something years trying to remember its name.

Eli, was a fun scary movie. Not sure where all the hate comes from
I love Ishtar, fuck the haters
Ditto, I genuinely enjoyed watching that
A lot of movies I like aren't scored well on RT. I'm convinced it's just filled with the kind of people that want suggestion
Bench warmers
Legend(2015) has an audience score of 59% for some bizarre reason. I'd think anyone that was onboard for the permise enough to watch it in the first place would enjoy it a lot. I know I did, great movie.
The little mermaid: Return to the sea
Rated 45% https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_little_mermaid_2_return_to_the_sea
I like it because there's not many movies that just concentrate on swimming around in the ocean. I genuinely like it when I'm sick or background noise.
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.

Fired Up. Sitting at 24 percent from critics.
Was it as good as Not Another Teen Movie? No, probably not. But it still had some hilarious moments and lines. I especially enjoyed the long running jokes they kept sneaking in throughout the movie.

For people with Letterboxd I found some lists where it's easier to compare with your watched movies (by hovering):
https://letterboxd.com/23warnecol/list/good-movies-with-bad-rotten-tomatoes-scores/
https://letterboxd.com/poisonivies/list/good-ratings-on-letterboxd-bad-ratings-on/
https://letterboxd.com/pakejanek/list/good-movies-with-bad-rotten-tomatoes-scores/
Now personally I've watched very few of the movies in those lists and almost all of those I've given very bad scores or have abstained to. The best one was 3/5 for Star Wars Episode I, which I though was fine.
