Though most of us are quick to write off bad movies, occasionally viewers are forced to admit that despite 95% of the film sucking, one single, solitary scene had actually had some thought put into it, and was therefore actually pretty damn entertaining/clever/fun/whatever. It's as though a buddy suggested an idea to the writer of each film, and therefore generated the only idea in the film actually worth a damn.

10. Samuel L. Jackson Dies - Deep Blue Sea
Deep Blue Sea is an easy target for critique given that even those who like it will attest to the fact that it's a cheeseball B-movie without a whole lot going for it.
