Waterworld with Kevin Costner got terrible reviews but I loved it as a kid and still think it's cool. I've been enjoying going back and watching favorites from the 80's and 90's when I was growing up. Interview with the Vampire is a "bad" movie that I also love. Last of the Mohicans, etc.

Side note: a frequent topic with friends is why there aren't more tech positive films coming out of hollywood. Most films today are "decel" and virtue signaling: villain is an evil tech CEO, social network, highlight tech blow up stories like Super Pumped or Theranos, etc.

The Martian was a rare film that put science/tech as the hero. We need more positive stories on tech/AI/crypto, etc. Hollywood has a strange Marxist streak, as to many "elite" institutions today.

Was there ever an era when tech was generally depicted positively? I can name a bunch of films but not an era when tech was generally depicted in a positive light. Like many other things, evil tech is just more naturally cinematic than friendly tech
