Sounds like 10% of the time you did not have fun watching a movie. That's a bad movie.

Sometimes bad movies are fun to watch.
'So bad it's good' is one of my favorites. But you have to be prepared going into it. If you start a 'so bad it's good' film wanting something decent, you'll be disappointed. If you go in planning to enjoy the terrible, ridiculous, and ridiculous and/or banality, you'll probably enjoy it. If that's your thing.
My favorites of this genre are 'Hobo with a shotgun', 'Dead Snow' (sequel is actually good), and 'rubber'.

Madame Web was actually so fun to hate watch. Take a shot every time she opens a soda.
Spoiler
There are two scenes where she holds a can of soda but doesn't open them. She keeps almost opening them but never quite does. It's hilarious.

Critical thinking is an endangered practice.
Media literacy is a threat to a lot of production houses' business models
Did u have fun is one part of good. So is did it make u think deeply about something, was it pretty, was the dialogue good, did it give u a new perspective, did it make u feel something. Etc etc
Where are you getting your movies? Very few people are just raw-dogging random titles off a database. You mean you kinda enjoyed the movie that the Netflix algorithm showed you? Funny enough, I had almost this exact same argument with a friend the other day about how she "doesn't believe there's any bad movies."
I go to my favorite piracy source and look at new releases. Its like sorting by New+All on Lemmy :)

I'm the exact opposite. I struggle to get through 90% of movies regardless of how good people think they are, especially since they only keep getting longer and longer.
Hell, the only movies I can get through are the ones that are so bad they're actually interesting

Somebody needs to introduce Thomas here to MST3K. There is no better teacher than experience.
You saw someone enjoying themselves and thought, "Somebody needs to fix that."?

I did a Final Destination marathon recently to prep for Bloodlines.
While all the movies have their flaws and weaknesses, FD4 was garbage. Even as a easy to please person I couldn't handle it.
Genuinely terrible, I am shocked they wanted it to be the last one in the franchise, to the point they called it "The Final Destination"
Huh. 90% of the time I'm like "this is a bad movie"
Imo most movies are kind of bad and I usually regret watching them.
But I kinda feel like this is because I can easily think of other things I would have had more fun spending that time on. So it's a tangible loss to me.
FWIW I keep watching movies because I have seen a few that makes the pursuit worth it.
