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.
Judge Dredd (1995) Judge as you will :)
Small Soldiers (1998) - got 49% Loved this film when I was a kid and I still do.
I’m surprised to see Batman Forever has such a low score, I loved that movie when it came out. Granted, I was in middle school at the time but I’ve probably seen it a half dozen or so times over the years. I had no idea people don’t like that movie.
Hook with it’s 29% tomatometer rating. Dustin Hoffman—sexual misconduct allegations aside—fucking nailed it as Hook, and I think the general concept of an adult Peter Pan returning was pretty cool. Also, who doesn’t love Robin Williams? It was a movie I loved in my childhood so I am absolutely biased, but 29% seems absurd. I still find the “Don’t try to stop me, Smee” scene hilarious to this day.
The Matrix 4. Could’ve been better if it wasn’t missing 50% of the directing talent, but it’s still a worthy sequel.
I personally like Doom (2015). I understand the hate but I got a special edition dvd
Post-2000? I’d have to say probably Reign of Fire… or Bad Boys II. All time? The Man in the Iron Mask.
Hidalgo. It’s nothing special but it’s a fun story. I don’t know how I ended up with the DVD but for a few years it was my go to sick day movie. Its probably been over a decade since I last saw it, it might not hold up.
Season of the witch
I humbly submit First Monday in October.
Genuinely good writing, good discussion about political and legal base principles, censorship, government interference in economic matters, and doesn’t characterise either (american political) side as evil.
It’s also kinda funny that the movie came out just about at the same time as Ruth Bader-Ginsburg was appointed to the supreme court (without being inspired by it), considering the main characters are pretty much gender swapped Ginsburg and Scalia.
Fast X - 57% Momoa is a DELIGHT.
Quantumania - 46% Shame about the Kang problem.
Bullet Train - 54% - You shut your whore mouth!
Uncharted - 40% - Better than it has any right being.
The King’s Man - 41% digging the spy comedy but not spy parody genre.I would have put Shazam and Black Adam, they were enjoyable enough, but the Skittles product placement in Shazam killed it for me, and Black Adam has that whole final act that’s completely un-necessary.
Sorted by rotten and newest, some of these justapositions are just hilarious to me. “Into the Deep” and “Out of the Blue” side by side? That’s intentional, right?
WTF is with this movie poster? I kind of want to see it now. Description reminds me of Dead Calm with Sam Neill, Nicole Kidman and Billy Zane.

Holy crap, there’s a live action Asterix and Obelisk? And what appears to be the worst iteration of Marmaduke ever invented.
Sad to see so many crappy movies with Bruce Willis. I know they were trying to pad the bank account while they could, but it still seems borderline abusive. :(
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. I absolutely adore the movie, but I’m actually content it didn’t get all the recognition I think it deserves. The entire vibe of the movie is one of contentment; no need to force higher achievements.
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is a victim of critc snobbery of shich I used to subscribe to when they all came out.
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.
57% on RT but its probably one of my favourite Wes Anderson films.
Surfer, Dude. - criminally underrated and a great chill movie. Also, “get outside more” is a great theme. I dig it and wish more people did.
