In a conversation the other day I came up with a list of these, and to 
my surprise they were all SF/F.

(1) The Return of the Jedi

(2) The Lord of the Rings (Bakshi version)

(3) Dune (Lynch version).

Not that I haven't seen far worse movies, but in each of these cases I 
was expecting something better.

Of course other people may have different lists.  And I did like Dune 
somewhat more the second time I saw it.
