At least a 2 might be an interesting if flawed film or it might be entertainingly bad.

Whilst it might be viewed as condescending I do think there would be some logic in making separate lists based on entertainment and greater depth as there really such different experiences IMHO.

Maybe make it more in the eye of the beholder and just list films that YOU view in that fashion not making any claim that others should. I mean something like Pulp Fiction for example I could see being viewed both ways by different people.
