The Star Wars Holiday Special. I went in expecting to absolutely hate it, and wound up enjoying the whole thing, and not in a "so bad it's good" way either.

National Treasure - actually I knew these movies would be awesome in a terrible way, Americana lore and Nic Cage? what could go wrong?
Seriously though the Final Destination movies. I usually pass on the gory boring "horror" flicks but these movies have such ingenious deaths it just glues my eyes to the screen trying to guess who the next person is going to get it.

I enjoyed it to but it still wasn't what I hoped it would be.Cyaneed said:
OT: "Warriors Way" I thought it was going fail hard as an action film But, it gave me the same feel as "Kung Pow: Enter the fist". As bad as it was I have to say I never got bored.
Inception. I knew very little about the movie until it came out, and even then only that it was about dreams and that everyone was loving it. Before that, I had only seen a few trailers that made it look like a special effects heavy, disaster-like movie that I thought would be all about the effects and have a lame plot, acting, etc. I immediately dismissed it and didn't care about it.
I was completely and utterly wrong. Inception is now my favorite movie of all time.

The new Karate kid, I never liked the others but I could understand the appeal of them and partially watching them with my family I could always understand the fan base and why people loved the originals. I saw the trailers for the new one and thought it would be really stupid and just completely disgrace the series
I saw it and I loved it, the first one in the entire series of the Karate kid that I enjoyed

Megamind. I was expecting a Despicable Me clone, sooooooooooooooo much more! 
Both 2012 and GI Joe performed better than I expected them to. For basically all the reasons Movie Bob said. I just watched them to fill in time before karaoke, and thought I'd get exactly what I paid for. I did, but I also got an enjoyable, if not deep, experience. They're not sophisticated in any way, but they're certainly cool.

This. I thought the originals were incredibly silly, but I enjoyed the new one. What can I say? I really like Jackie Chan.The Rockerfly said:
I've got two examples, but they're both times where people made me watch them on DVD. The first was Superbad at a mate's, I normally don't find that type of stuff funny but god I enjoyed that film. The other one was my dad, he bought a DVD of a film from when he was 18 that he loved, it was called The Warriors. he stuck it on and made me watch it. I was expecting drivel but it was a great, fun film. Seriously check it out!
These are the two most recent titles, I can think of. Incredible Hulk, my partner had on one day and I was bored decided to watch it with him and actually liked it. Which was a bit of a shock since I'm not a Incredible Hulk fan at all. Superbad just isn't normally my type of humour but gave it a shot after finding nothing else to rent that evening.
