Inspired by the linked XKCD. Using 60% instead of 50% because that's an easy filter to apply on rottentomatoes.

I'll go first: I think "Sherlock Holmes: A game of Shadows" was awesome, from the plot to the characters ,and especially how they used screen-play to highlight how Sherlocks head works in these absurd ways.

Zardoz. 49% at RT. I genuinely love it. It's insane and weird and doesn't make sense and it's wonderful. I even have an original poster framed in my house.

I really like the City of Ember movie, even tho it was a major flop.

Probably Elizabethtown - Cameron Crowe movie from 2005.

I'm cheating a bit with a 1994 movie, but I genuinely enjoy watching Wagons East! It has 0% on Rotten Tomatoes, but I like it. I'm probably the exact target audience: I like westerns, and I like movies that make fun of them.

Southland Tales - 41%

Waiting is a fantastic movie. Hilarious, especially towards the end with the new hire. 30% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Ang Lee's Hulk.

It’s a smidge over the threshold (63% reviewer score and 29% audience score) but I like this one more than the Ed Norton one (and the thought of him shifting based on heartrate is so fucking dumb) and I’m just kinda meh about Ruffalo’s Hulk.

Sanctum. Was surprised to see it with an audience score of 37%.

I honestly really liked The New Mutants and the idea of a superhero movie where everything happens in only one place.

Any transformers movie. I just like seeing a bunch of cars transform into robots to then fight each other.

Next (2007), starring the One True God, alongside Julianne Moore and Jessica Biel.

It's a brilliant movie (loosely) based on a Philip K Dick short story. It's been nominated and won actual awards (Worst Actor and Worst Supporting Actress from the prestigious Razzie Awards, Worst Foreign Actor from the Yoga Awards), and it stands the test of time comfortably at 28% on the tomatometer.

I wish I was kidding. I've watched this over a dozen times. I can't stop. Send help.
