Two I can think of off the top of my head:
The Postman. While I can't say I love it, I did like it. Saw it in the theater, and later bought the DVD. It was critically panned, but I think mainly critics were still pissed at Costner over Waterworld and judged it way too harshly. Or maybe they were expecting nuclear 'splosions and/or mutated giant cockroaches and didn't get them. In any event, to me it seemed like a reasonable premise, especially how society would break down into small enclaves that paid protection to marauding hordes, and Costner's evolution from weasel with an angle to resistance leader was kind of cool.
Freejack. Yeah, it was silly as ****, but I liked it anyway. Estevez seemed to be having a good time chewing the scenery, and dammit, I thought Mick Jagger was a good villain.
