I'm asking because an IMDb rating cutoff above 6.5+-5 seems to generally do a good job making sure I don't regret watching something. But what am I missing among the sub-6? I know they exist, but it is hard to select among seas of...bad movies.

Freddy Got Fingered! The joke is on the studio and audience, and most did not want to laugh along...

I laughed harder at that movie than probably any other. The Redlettermedia Re:watch of it is great as well.

My favorite lowest rated movie is Steel, with a rating of like 3 stars on IMDB. It's got some incredibly stupid, but quotable lines.

"The alloy of those weapons is not magnetic."

"Well dip me in shit and roll me in breadcrumbs!"

"An ounce of pretention is worth a pound of manure."

I enjoy pretty much every movie in some respects, but if you haven’t watched Deadly Prey (1987) you’re missing out.

It’s the worst story tropes of Rambo, The Room, and a 2AM cable access TV show and it’s somehow so utterly horrible that I couldn’t stop watching and laughing.

It definitely shouldn’t be rated higher. But it is almost must-watch for how bad it is. Easily one of the five worst movies I’ve ever seen.

If we’re not talking about horribly shot and scripted movies, then I’d have to say Passenger 57. Sure, it’s an overly simplistic 90s formulaic movie, but I liked it. Plus it’s got Elizabeth Hurley, Bruce Greenwood, and Tom Sizemore, as well as Ernie Lively (Blake’s dad), before they all went on to larger careers.

I really liked the 2022 sci-fi movie 'Deus', 4.4/10 on IMDB.

Darkness Falls 5.0 on imdb. A ok horror film. I like it because it's pretty decently thought out. The minor characters do start to listen to the guy in the know once he is shown to know what's going on.

Man, this was the centre of a lot of my nightmares when I was younger.
