Great Idea: Bad Movie

This is sort of along the lines of the "Guilty pleasure" threads. There are movies out there that have a great concept, or have parts that are absolute genius, but they are tied to a basically bullshit movie.

My example:
Virtuosity. I like denzel Washington, a lot. I like Russel Crowe.

I always loved how they handled the idea of a sentient program, and how he was able to get out of a computer into the real world (no lame-ass lawnmower man shit...)

Thge ideas and the description of the technology was way ahead of it's time. The problem was, it basically becomes a silly sci-fi action cop movie. now dont get me wrong, i even own the soundtrack to this movie, it is one of my all time favorites, but it has several fatal flaws that prevent it from having wide appeal.

Plus, it had kelly lynch.
