"The movie is so preposterous. I love it."

We all love movies, and even when a film is panned by critics and fans alike, you can still enjoy the flick. On the r/movies subreddit, Reddit user u/Calypso75 asked people to share movies they love despite them being universally acknowledged as terrible. Grab your popcorn and soda, because here are some of the "bad" films people love:

Person in a cinema holds oversized popcorn and drink, obscuring their face, surrounded by other moviegoers

1. "Pacific Rim. Let's be real, this movie was, objectively, not a great film, but for the love of all things holy, GIANT ROBOTS run by two people are fighting GIANT MONSTERS with GIANT WEAPONS and A GODDAMN BOAT SWORD. You don't understand the pure entertainment and joy this movie brought me."

2. "Project X is a guilty pleasure of mine. I know it's bad, but I just like when it goes batsh*t crazy."

3. "Magic Mike XXL. It's so bad but so good!!"

4. "David Lynch's Dune was so bad that he wanted his name stricken from the record. I love it, but good god, is it stupid."

5. "Blood Monkey. It's kinda like a low-budget Jurassic Park-type movie, but with a killer monkey. It's supposed to be scary, but it's hilariously funny."

A person holds an ancient-looking skull with large eye sockets, evoking a sense of mystery and history

6. "Van Helsing. I saw so many negative reviews when it came out, and I still see negative comments about the movie, but I loved it. In the words of Roger Ebert, 'Van Helsing is silly, spectacular, and fun.'"

7. "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. I saw it first as a kid and thought it was cool as sh*t."

Man in rugged clothes points a revolver in a tense, snowy setting, facing someone with a fur-trimmed jacket seen from behind

8. "Jumper. It's a bad movie, but I can't help but watch it every year or so. The concept is just so cool, but everything about the execution is wrong."

A young man with a dirt-streaked face looks upward, standing in front of military trucks in a bleak outdoor setting

9. "I wholeheartedly love Speed Racer. It was awesome, colorful, and fun."

10. "Dudley Do-Right, with Brendan Fraser. There are parts of it that kinda make me cringe, but on the whole, I find it hilarious."

A Mountie in traditional uniform on a white horse uses binoculars to survey a grassy landscape

11. "Battleship. The plot and dialog are total cheese. Also, Brooklyn Decker."

A couple embraces on a sunny day in a park; one wears a naval officer's uniform

13. "The Tuxedo starring Jackie Chan. Absolutely absurd, but my favorite part is Jackie dancing and lip-singing to James Brown."

A person in a tuxedo is smiling broadly while standing in front of a microphone on stage with bright lights in the background

14. "Mallrats. It's the film even Kevin Smith fans tend to hate, but I really like it. It's got a lot of good gags, and it moves at such a fast pace. It might just be nostalgia, though. Ever since I saw the 3D poster in my comic books, I knew I needed to see it. I even bought the soundtrack, and it cost almost $30. Adjusted for inflation, that's about $50 now."

16. "Jupiter Ascending. The wooden dialogue, the preposterous plot, the SPACE OPERA. Space wolf-hybrids. Space roller blades. Space bees. Space princes. Space industry. Space bureaucracy. This movie has everything...in space."

Person in a film scene with a serious expression, looking slightly upward. Background appears dimly lit

17. "Wild Wild West. I can't explain it...it was a summer blockbuster that literally opens with decapitation and ends with a gigantic mechanical spider. It's so preposterous. I love it."

A person in period-style clothing and a hat dramatically points a large revolver upwards in a room with ornate paintings

18. "Congo is a terrible movie that I happen to like anyway. I love it when the African general tells Tim Curry to stop eating his sesame cake."

19. "Evolution. It's obviously a 'bad' movie, yet it's also my favorite. If giant dinosaur birds ever attack a mall, I will totally sing, 'You are so beautiful' while making bird calls."

A person in a leather jacket holds a microphone and appears surprised or in mid-speech in an indoor setting

20. "Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters is AWESOME! It's simple, gritty, obnoxious, and fun but still has a plot."

A woman points a revolver at a man's head in an intense scene, possibly from a film. They appear in a dim, gritty setting

21. "Kung Pow! Enter the Fist remains one of the best movies I've seen, at least in my memory. I will never watch it again, so it remains that way."

Man in white shirt appears surprised, mouth open wide, facing another person

22. And finally, "Waterworld."
