One thing I had to learn quickly was that my preference towards anything cultural was not in line with what my peers found good/cool, so I strode down the road of enjoying what I enjoy and let others enjoy whatever they enjoy.

Here's a short list:

Roadhouse

The 13th Warrior

Both Ewoks movies

Wait people didn't enjoy the 13th warrior? I loved that one as a child!

I still enjoy the movie today.

And I once found it in book format but the text was too riddled with errors and typos to be enjoyable and worth the asking price.

Roadhouse

Open up your heart and let the Patrick Swayze Christmas in

Both Ewok movies

I remember seeing the first one in the theater when I was a kid and I later saw a letter my Mom was writing where she said it was a dumb movie, but the kids liked it. I was offended!

My tastes may be questionable but that is too much even for me.

The movies can be considered bad, for today's standards but for what I care, it was a great way to spend some time. Where else could we se cannibal Care Bears?

Oh yeah, she was right, it was a dumb movie. But a good kid's movie!
