Alien Resurrection is low key great and philosophically engaging movie.
The recent Dungeons and Dragons.
'Upgrade' is an excellent sifi B movie.

A Knight's Tale. Not only is it a good movie but it was my introduction to Paul Bettany and Alan Tudyk and they were brilliant in it.
Genuinely a top 3 movie for me. Heath, Paul and Alan are all fantastic in it. I will never not watch it if an opportunity presents itself.
And it left its mark on renaissance jousts everywhere. Always hear We Will Rock You at so many different ren fairs.

Clue - A movie based on a board game sounds terrible, but it's really funny.
For more of a movie that visually looks bad.
Primer - Very low budget time travel movie that gets better every time you watch it.
Clue didn't work in the theater because they did this gimmick where they made three versions with three different endings. So because it had to be consistent with three contradictory endings, you CAN'T solve it as you go; it doesn't function as a mystery movie. And, it was kind of short.
The TV cut crammed all three endings at the end with the "Here's what REALLY happened" cards inserted, so one ending is now canonical while the others are plausible alternatives, it runs longer, especially the frantic, energetic ending plays longer, so while it still doesn't function as a mystery movie, it is now an excellent farce.
I think it also found its audience in young millennials on television; it was made for and by my parents' generation but they don't like it, while a lot of people my age love it.

What we do in the shadows. The movie, not the show. If you like mockumentaries it's a must watch. Looks like garbage at times but it works very well for what they were going for.
OMG YES +100 for What We Do in the Shadows
I still need to watch the latest season of the show though lmao

The Jumanji remake was FAR better than I expected
This was going to be my pick. I went in with very low expectations which may be the reason it ended up being enjoyable. It was better than it had any reason to be.
Jack black is obnoxious but really nailed the high school girl impression.
We were having a movie night in our neighborhood a few years back where we got a bedsheet and a cheap projector. We hooked it up to a laptop to project a movie on someone's garage for the neighborhood kids.
We ended up projecting The Lego Movie and most of the kids lost interest about half an hour in - and were falling asleep and ready to go home.
I'll be damned if it wasn't one of the best animated movies I've ever seen. I sent my wife home with our youngest just so I could stay and finish the movie.

Swiss Army Man - Daniel Redcliffe with farting as a superpower. Sounds ridiculous but really fun to watch.

Probably not the answer you're looking for, but Puss In Boots 2. The second Shrek spinoff about the cat? Who honestly expected that to be such a banger
The only thing that put me off was the weird animation style. Otherwise it was a truly great film

Barbie (2023)
Just saw this a few months ago. And gotta agree. It's a solid flick. Nothing crazy ambitious, but told a story that seems pretty haunting in the past few months.

I have heard that Speed Racer from the late 2000s kind of kicks ass but havenβt investigated myself
It's wonderful. The last race always gets me legit hyped.
I recently saw it after thinking it was bad since release. Holy crap itβs literally live action anime. Thereβs not a lot (if any) depth of field so it takes a little bit to get used to but a few minutes into the movie and it feel normal. Thereβs shots are all bright or colorful and just ughhhβ¦ chefs kiss
I will vouch for Speed Racer. Don't get me wrong, it's corny as heck, but still also rad. The race scenes are fantastic! Kind of like a Godzilla movie though, you're not there for the dialogue.
Honestly, princess bride. I'm usually not all that into rom com type movies, but princess bride is a masterpiece

The Adventures of Baron Von Munchausen, it's like a Monty Python movie but with American actors and an evil Robin Williams.
Tank Girl. It may just be a guilty pleasure but I'll defend it.
I guess Starship Troopers is THE movie for this, although I'm always suprised to find out people used to like it unironically.
Due date, with Robert Downey Jr and Galifianakis is a surprisingly earnest soft remake of Planes, Trains and Automobiles and nobody remembers it exists.
Speaking of unexpectedly fun raunchy comedies, Booksmart.
I want to say The Long Kiss Goodnight, but man, the action in that is janky in exactly the ways modern action movies get right, so it can be a rough watch if you're not ready. It also reads worse now that there's a million John Wicks. Still, ahead of its time and actually well written.
Does Slither count? I feel like it's on that Tremors territory where everybody knows it's cool and ironically that thing, so it may not count. Somebody said Cabin in the Woods below, so... maybe it does count.
Oh, Ready or Not. It's actually really funny and kind of a looser take on Knives Out as a horror movie. Good stuff.
The original TMNT movie should have sucked. How they snuck that tone into a whole movie before they made them tone it down for censorship and toyetic tie-ins is anybody's guess.
Brick doesn't count. Does Brick count? I think it doesn't look like it'd suck, it's just people don't know about it. I mean, if I tell you "film noir by way of high school drama" you may get the wrong impression, so... maybe?
And I mentioned it below, but 2001 Metropolis is awesome despite a lot of people not being able to get past the designs or even being aware of what it is.

Dude, Where's My Car?
I thought it was gonna be a dumb stoner movie, but it is actually amazing and hilarious.

I honestly thought Wonka was going to suck, but it turned out to be a pretty good film!
I'm gonna say Cruella. I'm sure lots of people always thought it was gonna be great, but not me. I absolutely expected it to be mediocre at best and I was so wrong. It's now one of my favorite movies.
I have to agree, the film is MUCH better than it looks, with one exception early on (see below) the rest of the film works well.
Cruella spoilers
Dalmatians running into the party and killing Cruella's mother is hilariously stupid. Just have her be cold hearted. Let her view animals as disposable for other reasons. You don't need to be so over the top with it.

Mean Girls (2004) a masterpiece
100% agree. I think its a modern classic.
A movie made by a student of the film academy, and it was made with a ridiculously low budget of course, but still contains some wild special effects and a spaceship and an alien creature and a title song written especially for it. Looks quite a bit outdated (and I wonder if it looked that even then when it was new :)), but still a lot of fun, and even a message about artificial intelligence:
"Dark Star" by John Carpenter

The movie Battleship based on the board game is far better than I ever expected. It's not a masterpiece, but it's a solid action flick.
