What are the low-rated movies you enjoyed the most or think should be rated much higher? (mander.xyz)

I'm asking because an IMDb rating cutoff above 6.5+-5 seems to generally do a good job making sure I don't regret watching something. But what am I missing among the sub-6? I know they exist, but it is hard to select among seas of...bad movies.

  • The Long Kiss Goodnight - retcon it as a prequel to the Bourne trilogy and it's 10 times better. It's already top quality late 90's action cheese.

  • Spice World is madcap mania. Recent Flop House episode about it. It's the only movie I ever watched, rewound, and watched again.

  • VHF, staring Weird Al Yankovick. It's a genuine shame no one else said this. Are people OK?

  • Josie and the Pussycats. Replace "sell CDs" with "Spotify" and literally nothing changes.

    UHF was a goddamned cinematic masterpiece.

    Three O'Clock High is the quintessential 80s movie. Seriously, it's like someone said, hey, let's make an 80s movie. It's also got surprisingly good cinematography.
