When we talk of "love it/hate it" movies, there's an element of seriousness in the film's premise that can only elicit a strong response, whether positive or negative. We're not supposed to take such comedies seriously, Jackass is an exception because it's not a fiction, people get hurt for real and the 'influence' the program has on people can be perceived as something worthy of either praise or disgust, same with Borat because it raises a few controversial points (the elements of seriousness I mentioned).
If it was up to me, I would add almost every David Lynch or Terry Gilliam's movie or at least
Eraserhead, Blue Velvet and Brazil.
For your consideration:
Kick-Ass
I Am Sam
Ghostbusters (2016)
Inglourious Basterds
Rules of Engagement
The Life of David Gale
How the West Was Won
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

I did hate Natural Born Killers, and there are some that I haven't seen but several of these films are more "middling" for me: I don't love or hate them (for example Benjamin Button; I like Drive a lot but some really seem just pretty ok), but I do know that a lot of these films are divisive - I don't really get it, though.
'Good poll.

Titanic was one of them in the sense that many viewers hated it because of its extraordinary box-office success
I think I would have focused on more controversial movies, some that raised a very sensitive chord, like Passion of the Christ or La Vie d'Adèle, the 2012 Palme d'Or winner wasn't controversial because of the lesbian romance but the overuse of very graphic sex scenes that confined to voyeurism according to many voices, including LGBT ones. Last Tango in Paris was a pretty polarizing movies or Caligula.

There are also a few films on here I rather like—two of which I love: Snowpiercer & Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
I didn't think Scott Pilgrim was all too polarizing. It was among fans of the graphic novel and different age groups somewhat, but it didn't seem that dire to me.
But my vote will go to Snowpiercer. I see it as an astoundingly original sci-fi thriller with inventive action and an intricate Orwellian theory of power. It's a satirical powerhouse. I can see how it turns people off, but it seems to me that the people who hate it don't usually have much more than a surface-level understanding of it. (A totally clichéd thing to say, but I don't know how else to say it).
Had the list not gone live I'd have suggested Swiss Army Man and The Lobster—both of which I love, but really didn't resonate with some. Also maybe Melancholia, Gravity, and maybe Sunshine.
Not many of the films on there I hated. Tree of Life I rather disliked, but as strong as my feelings were about that film there's a non-negligible minority of good feelings too. Had Man of Steel been replaced by Batman v Superman, I would have hated that with a passion though.
