George H. W. Bush, Herbert Hoover, Warren G. Harding, William Howard Taft, Benjamin Harrison, Ulysses S. Grant, Zachary Taylor, Martin Van Buren, and (to a lesser extent) James Madison.
I would argue that, to the extent Taylor can be considered a "good" or noteworthy president, it is almost entirely due to the times in which he served — I highly doubt a man whose only professed political principle was 'the president should never do anything, ever, and just let Congress run the country' would be remembered without the Crisis of 1850 to make his mark on. I absolutely agree with regards to Hoover, Harrison, and Madison.
