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.

    I just looked up Event Horizon and it only got a 33%. I love that movie. It genuinely really creeped me out. Few horror films do.

    The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Sure it’s campy and way over the top. But I kinda like it for that. Plus the characters are awesome, the designs were pretty cool, and Sean Connery was great. Currently at 17% on rt.

    Grandma’s Boy is a perfect stoner comedy. Featuring Nick Swardson in a hilarious breakout performance. RT can kiss 15% of my ass.

    I tend to like sci-fi in this category such as Stargate, Dune (1984), and the Riddick films.

    TRON Legacy is my favorite of the bunch, however. Incredible soundtrack, gorgeous costume design, and plenty of character.

    Constantine - 46%

    Predator - 34%

    Ghost in the Shell - 43%

    Hellboy - 17%

    Robocop (2016) - 49%

    Well, it seems like I have poor taste in movies after all.

    I unironically like Sucker Punch. And no, it’s not only because of scantily clad women.

    Rotten Tomatoes has both a critic score and an audience score.

    If your pick has a low critic score but high audience score, that means it was formulaic or unoriginal but probably lots of fun.

    Movies with a high critic score and low audience score are usually more artsy, film-festival stuff.

    Chappie (32%)

    I love that movie and have seen it several times. Directed by Noel Blompkamp (District 9) and starring Die Antwoord.

    It’s extremely original and entertaining sci fi.

    Tank Girl. No one liked that movie when it came out. I left the theater with the biggest grin on my face. Absolutely awesome. Still one of my favorites.

    It was completely different than the comics but it was still very fun. Especially in 1995.

    Kung Pow only has a 13% critic rating and I love that movie. 69% audience score though so that might disqualify it.

    I remember quite liking Slackers when I saw it (haven’t rewatched it though, so my opinion might have changed). I think if this movie every time I hear the song “She’ll be comin’ 'round the mountain”.

    The Big Hit

    Movies I saw 20 years ago it seems when maybe my tastes (and me too let’s face it) were a little immature. Still love Kung Pow though

    Idiocracy is one of my favorite movies. When it came out, it was far below 50%, but after some of the things on the movie started becoming true, it became popular.
