All the numerous movies I've seen in my lifetime can mostly be divided into two groups; the ones I liked and the ones I didn't like. Though, sometimes there are (in my opinion) bad movies that still have something quite unique about them.

Eventhough I don't like a certain movie, it can still hold something valuable wether it be a specific character, scene or dialogue.

For example, I didn't like Disney's Treasure Planet. I thought it was messy, overly relient on CGI and very much a symbol of Disney's identity crisis. BUT, there was one thing about Treasure Planet that I loved...


Everything about this guy was awesome; the way he looked, the way he talked, the way he acted. Eventhough I didn't like the movie itself, this one character made it all worthwhile and made me forget how much I disliked the rest of the film.

So my question is: What other (in your opinion) bad movies were salvaged by a certain awesome aspect? This can be a character, an action scene, a musical score etc.

Knight and Day briefly had a clearly fanservice-oriented sequence which involved Cameron Diaz in a bikini.

The least we deserved following her ear-raping screams previously in the movie...

I thought that one of the only things that salvaged Transformers was the Cloverfield trailer. It kept the internet buzzing with rumors for weeks. Other than that the movie sucked in my opinion.

Not sure if that counts but it certainly was true for me.

Well, it is a spy movie afterall so there's bound to be someone wearing a bikini somewhere.

It's still one of the worst movies ever, but the noir-ish monologues from The Spirit prevented me from gouging my eyes out from the abysmal wreck that the rest of the movie was.

To call it a spy film is a little generous. It's a romantic comedy set amidst a spy film, like what Shaun of the Dead did with zombies only more shit.
