With so many great motion pictures to watch and enjoy, sometimes, to pass the time, a few enjoyable bad movies are enough to do the job: the misunderstood pieces of art that critics quickly wrote off as being complete garbage but which garnered quite a cult following. They aren’t terrible movies, precisely — more like a diamond in the rough that was able to find a niche audience.
There are two things that a majority of good bad movies have — a quirky script and unintentionally funny acting. Humor is usually the reason why a lot of bad movies get rewatched over and over again. No matter the genre, if there is laughter to be had and action to be enjoyed, then the motion picture is worth one’s time. In fact, some of these famous bad movies combine the two perfectly.
Not every bad movie is enjoyable — there is a small collection of them.

#2 Van Helsing (2004)
"It's Hugh Jackman, Kate Beckinsale aka the glory days of 2004. It's got a 27% on rotten tomatoes,. 6/10 on IMDb but there's something about the dry jokes smattered in what's supposed to be high tension scenes, or scenes of sexual tension. The special effects aren't the greatest but at the same time it also adds to the experience."

"Firmly in so bad it’s actually amazing territory.
When Sean Connery turns off the lights so he can beat up the invisible man without him having an advantage I was like 'this is dope as hell'"

"However I feel conflicted about calling this movie bad as I personally feel it was unfairly ignored by the Oscar committee.

"Sure, the script is dumb. But the cast has zero weak links.
Will Ferrell, Jon Heder, Amy Poehler, Will Arnett, Jenna Fischer, Craig T. Nelson; even William Fichtner shows up for like, one scene, and he’s perfect."

#11 The Highlander (1986)
"That movie goes all the way around.
It's so bad that it's great.
They need to cut people's head off. Why? Um, cos it's awesome.
Sean Connery in his world famous Scottish accent plays the Egyptian. Why? Because the French guy is playing the Highland Scot of course."
