Antiviral! Actually loved the movie and still don't get the really bad scores everywhere. Ending felt disappointing but besides that I think it's awesome, and I loved the whole concept of "celebrity culture gone wild", a fresh take on "dystopian future" for sure! Watch it!
Hexed, a 1993 comedy starring Arye Gross.
9% Rottentomatoes, 36% Audience.
It's really, really dumb. I recently rented and rewatched it with my wife, who had never seen it and enjoyed it.
The lead character works in a hotel and is a serial liar / conman who meets up with the supermodel he keeps insisting is his girlfriend.
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/

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.
Battlefield Earth
Pulse (2006) horror/sci-fi/thriller by Jim Sonzero director.
Chandi Chok to China (2009) - it's obviously a spoof movie (like Austin Powers), but despite going in knowing nothing of Bollywood I loved it. I'm pretty sure we rented the DVD from Netflix back in the day. It's rated 42%/31%
Mio in the Land of Faraway (1987) - very young Christian Bale in a fantasy world with Christopher Lee as the bad guy. Simultaneously recorded in both Russian and English. It's rated --%/55%
I'm sure there are others (In the Name of the King and Equilibrium have both already been mentioned), but these two are the ones that I decided to search for. I know the second one is older, but color me inspired by the mention of the 1984 Dune (love Patrick Stewart, but I don't feel like he was cast right in that movie).
