If making less at the box office than the movie's budget qualifies a "flop," then I'll add EuroTrip (lost $5 million according to Wikipedia's figures).
This movie came out in 2004 when I was in the middle of college and was/is a "cult classic" with my group of friends...over the top hilariousness by American teenagers traversing Europe.
And let's not forget the catchy "Scotty Doesn't Know" song with the Matt Damon cameo as the Lustra band singer (lip synching of course)!
I love the 2004 version of The Alamo. There were some great performances in the film. I don't know why it was such a flop. But I never cared for the John Wayne version.

Very much agree about Alamo, thee were a number of artful touches, Billy Bob Thornton really breathed credible life into Davey Crockett, and they certainly stuck more to the actual historical facts than most historical movies. We got the Mexican point of view, the slaves point of view, and the great mythical heroes were portrayed as ordinary human beings with their flaws intact.
The Wayne picture was gung ho propaganda awash in distortions and flag waving.
I think these got passed over for being rom-coms, but they weren't typical:
Seeking a Friend for the End of the World
Stranger than Fiction
The Five-Year Engagement
