Bunraku is one of those movies that has a stellar cast, but no one's ever heard of it. It's a revenge movie but it's over-the-top cheesy and edgy, but in all the good ways. Seriously give it a chance. It's not a good movie, but it is a fun one.

Oh man I had forgotten this one. It definitely fits the bill. Just so much fun to look at.
Event Horizon. The trailers made it seem like just another 90s sci-fi horror flick trying to ride the Alien high, but it ended up being such a good movie with a tight script, beautiful set design, actually smart characters, and great acting.

Mile 22. Died at the box office and I'd heard nothing but bad things about it. Saw a DVD at the library and a stranger suggested it to me.
Seriously good thriller with action, intrigue, and some great acting.
Bottoms.
The script feels terrible and they don't even try to make you like the characters. But the jokes always land perfectly. It's a great movie to have a laugh and nothing else.

"Decoy Bride" looks like once of those cheap, filler movies that actors do between big roles, and it probably was, but David Tennant, Kelly MacDonald, and Alice Eve gave great performances, the jokes really hit, soundtrack was good, and the romance didn't feel forced at all.
I'll start: "Happy Death Day"
Wait, I didn't know Re:Zero had a live action!
The Sweetest Thing came off as a pretty saccharine rom-com. It was more like American Pie for late-20s.
Population 436, kind of a revamp of The Lottery but it does things a bit different along the way. It actually has Fred Durst as a cast member and he killed his role I think.
Uwe Boll's Rampage. He gets slated but that movie is great.
