Batman Forever Jim Carrey
Sony Pictures Releasing

Definitely not a thinker, but Bad Boys is arguably the perfect example of Michael Bay's Marmite film-making approach before it out-stayed its welcome.

Helping launch the A-list career of Will Smith, the decidedly adult (and occasionally childish) buddy cop movie with a difference was so good that people genuinely still want to see a third in the franchise (despite almost everything Bay has done since).
