18 Really Bad But Still Lovable Movies That We Can Watch Over And Over

We absolutely love movies. If you don't, what are you?

Seriously though, we don't think the world is complete without movies. It's like someone takes one of the biggest present boxes for you from under the Christmas tree, never to be seen again.

The best part is that there's usually something in every genre that we can appreciate, so we'll give any film that looks remotely compelling a chance. And when a film that isn't Oscar-worthy comes out and we still get a kick out of it, we don't really feel any shame.

Movies, after all, were made for entertainment, and even the most awful ones can actually be pretty entertaining. Also, there's really something about just being able to sit down in front of your TV and not having to think or judge too much.

Sometimes, we just need to chill without having our brains work, and movies that aren't too complicated will do just the trick for those mindless moments. It doesn't matter if they're cringy or considered trash by the movie elites, as long as we have something worthy to veg out in front of.

1. The Matrix Resurrections

The Matrix movie series was a hit, and when producers announced that there would be another movie after 17 years since the last one, fans were thrilled. Unfortunately, not everyone is convinced that the world really needed it.

But you know what? It was a fun watch, and we'd probably watch it just as many times as we watched the other Matrix films.

2. Scary Movie

The 'Scary Movie' films look like they were written and made by a couple of high schoolers with really active imaginations, but they were kind of hilarious. So if you're cool with just having a good laugh about something absolutely ridiculous, there are five of these films to watch.

Dimension Films

3. Eurotrip

The 2004 film was absolutely ridiculous and raunchy, but it was so much fun to watch. Matt Damon even had a cameo.

Plus, it's a nostalgic watch, so we're putting it on our rewatch list.

4. Deep Blue Sea

The film features an all-star cast, including Samuel L. Jackson, LL Cool J, Thomas Jane, and Michael Rappaport, so it should be a great sci-fi film, right? Sorry, but nope.

It was just so poorly written, and the special effects were clunky at best, but that won't stop us from watching it again.

5. BASEketball

The 1998 comedy 'BASEketball' from the creators of South Park is definitely not a good movie, but we'd rewatch it again because of its nostalgic quality.

6. Empire Records

Starring Liv Tyler, Renée Zellweger, and Debi Mazar, the film 'Empire Records' actually made us swoon with its great fashion and epic soundtrack, but there really wasn't much to it. It's a classic coming-of-age tale, though, and it's so full of '90s nostalgia that we might watch it again.

Warner Bros.

7. The Fast and the Furious

Let's be honest. The entire Fast and the Furious franchise isn't great, but the first movie was actually okay. That's why we keep going back to it, no matter how many more movies they release.

Universal Pictures

8. Napoleon Dynamite

We're still wondering how in the world this became such a hit, but now it's embedded as a part of American pop culture. There are also tons of hilarious and unforgettable lines and scenes that have spawned countless memes, which keep us going back to the film.

Fox Searchlight Pictures

9. Talladega Nights

Starring Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly, this film was just awful, but it keeps reeling us in. It's just so effortlessly funny for no real reason that we enjoy it every time it comes on.

10. Magnolia

We really thought 'Magnolia' was going to be a hit. It had Tom Cruise, after all.

But it was just bizarre, and not in a good way. Still, it gives off the vibe that it's going to be great every time we start it, and maybe it's that hope that it will get better over time that keeps us watching it again.

11. Crossroads

'Crossroads' had Britney Spears, Zoe Saldana, and Taryn Manning, but it still turned out to be undeniably terrible. That doesn't stop us from getting excited when we see it on TV, though, and we think that's because when we were younger, we actually wanted to be them, and the feelings come back when we see a glimpse of it.

Paramount Pictures

12. Rambo

Okay, we don't really think Rambo is truly awful, but it doesn't top the charts either. Still, the film manages to reel us in every time it comes on, so why not?

Lionsgate

13. Obsessed

Again, this movie was star-studded with casts like Beyoncé and Idris Elba, but their star power just didn't carry the movie. Also, if we're being honest, Queen Bey's acting skills really aren't that great, but maybe it's the hope that she'll redeem herself that keeps us watching any of her films.

14. Cocktail

It's another Tom Cruise film on the list, and while this one was pretty popular, it was still quite mediocre. It was totally '80s and quite silly, but young Tom was adorable, so we'd watch it again just because of him.

15. Idle Hands

This 1999 horror-comedy film is mediocre at best, but back in the day, many people thought it was cool, and for that reason, we'd still watch it again.

Columbia Pictures

16. Lucky Numbers

Lucky Number starred John Travolta and Lisa Kudrow in their prime, and everyone just loved them together. We think we were all blinded by them, allowing us to ignore how bad the movie really was.

We still love seeing the two together during this time period, so we'll watch the film again.

Paramount Pictures

17. Rocky V

Many fans of the Rocky franchise just can't skip over 'Rocky V' just because it's not as good as the others. You just have to power through.

Plus, there's a certain level of excitement and emotion whenever a Rocky film comes on, which makes any of them worth watching again and again.

18. Showgirls

The movie 'Showgirls' actually had a good premise, but the acting and script were poorly executed, preventing the potential of the story from translating onscreen. It's still intriguing, though.

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc.

In addition to being entertaining, these kinds of movies are the ones that you won't feel guilty about not finishing or not really paying attention to. So you're free to do anything you want while it just plays in the background, keeping you company.

So while they're not the best, they still have a place in our lives, and we're glad to have them. Which one is your bad but not too bad film?
