League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is a bad movie that is curiously extremely entertaining IMO.

This makes sense if you consider 'quality' and 'enjoyability' on two separate axes: - High quality and enjoyable? A classic. - Low quality but enjoyable? A personal favourite. - High quality but boring? Critics choice that no one watches. - Low quality but boring? Obvious trash.

  What if someone recognizes that Steven Seagal movies are utter garbage but enjoys them anyway as a guilty pleasure? Asking for a friend

    That's category2 - personal favorite. So long as he is wearing a giant leather trenchcoat, shooting people while sitting in a chair, saying "this is a little mutherfucking thing called justice", and letting someone younger fight for him.

  “American History X”: I think that was amazing, and I hope I never see it again.

Somehow I always remember it as being good escapist fun, but it isn't really. But I'll probably watch it again in a couple of years' time.

For an example of the polar opposite, I thought Drive[0] was exceptionally high quality, yet not even remotely entertaining. It made for some nice screencap wallpapers, though. [0]: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0780504/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0780504/

  Drive was made purely for the ambiance and aesthetic. Basically a music video for vaporware soundtrack, or the b roll you see behind the lyrics on a kareoke machine I enjoyed it

The design of the Nautilus and Nemo's car are all I remember about it. That was some extraordinarily good work.
