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.

Battlefield Earth, I like it

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (31% @ RT)

Chandi Chok to China (2009) - it's obviously a spoof movie (like Austin Powers), but despite going in knowing nothing of Bollywood I loved it. I'm pretty sure we rented the DVD from Netflix back in the day. It's rated 42%/31%

Mio in the Land of Faraway (1987) - very young Christian Bale in a fantasy world with Christopher Lee as the bad guy. Simultaneously recorded in both Russian and English. It's rated --%/55%

I'm sure there are others (In the Name of the King and Equilibrium have both already been mentioned), but these two are the ones that I decided to search for. I know the second one is older, but color me inspired by the mention of the 1984 Dune (love Patrick Stewart, but I don't feel like he was cast right in that movie).

I really liked M. Night Shyamalan's Old. I've watched it a few times and I just feel like he finally made a movie that was cohesive enough and had a good ending to be scored better.

Not RT, but imdb The Super with Joe pesci is 5.6. that movie is fucking hilarious. After asking the tall lady out to lunch and she walking away, he says "I'd like to eat with those chopsticks". LMAO

For me it is easy lots of films don't have ratings so this is old must watch parody western: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/lemonade_joe_1964

I'm not a movie guy so I don't have anything that comes to mind. But if video games are allowed then I'd have to say YIIK.

Drop Dead Gorgeous is an amazing dark comedy with a 47% score from critics.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Has to be Just Visiting. Such a fun and funny movie. Has some great humor. I think I'll watch it tonight. Fuck RT with their 33% it's 100% in my book.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Fortress (1992) was one of my favorite sci-fi movies at the time.

RT Audience Score is 40%.

Just like Heaven The Proposal

Dead Before Dawn 3d 2012: I find this movie a fun and hilarious silly movie. The plot itself is pretty straight forward but I love the characters and comedic dialogue. Definitely underrated.
