"Shitty movies (you saw for the 1st time as an adult) that you love"
Most of the shitty movies we love are a part of our childhood. We didn't know any better, but there's that rare movie you watch as an adult that makes you say, "this is a piece of rancid trash, and I fux wit it". Whatchu got?

i finally saw it a couple months ago, and i fucked with it so hard. i don't even know if i would have enjoyed it that much if i saw it at the time because of how my sensibilities have been shaped since then.

And it was higher at the time when it came out.
Rotten Tomatoes isn't a terrific arbiter of quality.
I get what you're saying though. I guess I'm taking umbrage in this post with calling these movies "shitty." Most of them are doing exactly what they meant to do: entertain. If it was called "poorly received movies that you loved," I'd probably find the post to be a little less odd.

i agree with you, although in this case i am in the minority with really liking indy 4, at least the time i saw it when it came out.
that was just a quick copy and paste. i don't even use rotten tomatoes. i've been seeing good burger referred to as one of the worst movies of all time since it came out. i put it in a category of films i have to check out and see for myself whether it's true. that it was an entertaining, hilarious, and visually spectacular movie dangerously close to my tastes was a complete surprise.

there you go making excuses, yet when it comes to certain movies you get hyper critical, but if hey, they were meant to be fun or ironic, then hey, entertainment. nope.
black snake moan is shitty. state prop movies are shitty. shottas is shitty, etc. bad acting, corny plots, bad dialogue, strange sequences or ideological ethos, or poor production.

... and labeling a film as "shitty." Especially when you like it.
I never called Birdman shitty, nor would I. I was entertained well enough. I found it deeply flawed, but I wouldn't even remotely tiptoe toward calling it shitty. (I assume that's the movie you mean when you say I'm hyper-critical about certain films.)
I would never call a movie I like shitty. Unless it's The Room.

I saw it for the first time in 15 years when it went up on Netflix last year. Kel Mitchell and an isolated scene here or there aside, it's pretty bad. A lot of the problem is that Kenan wasn't yet a strong enough actor to carry a feature, and his Dexter essentially is the main character who has to have the most growth.

I took my current girl on a date to see Machete way back when it was in theaters (WTF 2010??? Where has time gone?) and she was mad by how bad she thought it was
58. "you're off track on this one" In response to Reply # 48
a date who loves machete is a keeper... but let's put gender and genre stereotyping aside, this is a very good film. if you'd said machete kills instead, then i'd be right there with you in it being a shitty film but wonder why you love it. machete is easy to love and not shitty if you understand what they were going for.
66. "i won't front like machete isn't geared toward guys" In response to Reply # 65
it's mainly a pastiche of action film tropes. still, there are plenty of women and girls who love action movies and still more who appreciate genre mashups and satire. add onto that the cool cast and stylishness of the film and i gotta call it out as objectively not shitty!
