Movies that have no right to be as good/entertaining as they are

I submit Ford v. Ferrari. I popped it on this weekend (in a B2B with Rush, which is also much better than I imagined it would be but just is too serious and not nearly as fun as FvF) and was reminded just how enjoyable of an experience it is.
Kind of a meh subject and isn't exactly original in its presentation, but it's just nonstop moviegoing fun. Bale and Damon crush it. It's edited/paced incredibly well. Racing is a good medium to translate to film.
Just tons of bangers in terms of rewatchable scenes.
Ken Miles test drives the GT40 for the first time
Henry Ford II goes for a drive
7000 RPM go like hell

Psycho II
Making a sequel to Psycho 25 years later to capitalize on the 80s slasher craze sounds like a disaster. Yet the movie is an absolute banger and worthy sequel. Perkins gives an even better performance as Norman Bates and perfects the character.

Who would’ve thought the legal drawn out battle over the creation of Facebook would be a top 3 movie from the 2010’s

Gold with Matthew McConaughey. One of his more underrated films.

Twister. You could listen to it as an audio book and it would still be entertaining.

If I told you a guy drives his car on the interstate for 90 minutes and makes 25-30 phone calls, and we literally don’t see anyone else, you’d tell me that is the most unwatchable film of all time

I find both of Jason Statham's Crank movies to be solidly entertaining and rewatchable.

I admit, there was nothing, absolutely nothing about Ford vs Ferrari that pulled me in from any of the clips or trailers I saw. But one day it was on TV and I sat and watched it. What a great great movie. They did Ken Miles dirty. I wanted to reach through and knock the Home Depot guy out.

Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon
Rides that line of pure 80s cheese and fun parody like a champ.

The Pirates of the Caribbean movies (at least the first few).
I remember going to see the first one with a group of friends in college and thinking "why are we going to see a kids movie?" (My only knowledge of the movie being the ride at Disney World). I was not particularly excited to go, but went anyway. 2 hours later I walked out of the theatre thinking, "Damn, that was a fun movie!"

The coast guard swimming movie with Kevin Costner and Ashton Kutcher. See how terrible that sounds....but it was actually decent

Ford v. Ferrari is a good movie but I don't really think it fits the topic.
A big budget movie about auto racing (drama+action) that stars two of the biggest superstar actors of their generation is not a movie that has "no right" to be good. It might not be your individual cup of tea, but that's a formula everyone expects to make money and please wide audiences.
