It seems like almost no one has even seen this movie. An ex-partner of mine rented it from RedBox one night. I thought it looked dumb, but I watched it anyway. It is rather dumb, but it's also amazing. An incredibly dark comedy. My love of that movie has long outlasted that relationship.

Matt Lucas, James Marsden, Peter Stormare, Dolph Lundgren, Johnny Knoxville, James Caan, Billy Crystal, Juno Temple, Rebel Wilson, Saffron Burrows, Rosie Perez, and Amanda Plummer; An amazing, eclectic cast who deliver an idiosyncratic script expertly, managing to give us an ought-to-be cult classic that's more than the sum of its parts.

The Fountain is my favorite movie of all time, and it has a 52% critic score on RT. Audience Score is better-ish though at 77%, so maybe it's just the critics who didn't get it.

Rotten tomatoes is a terrible site to sort/filter by. Dear god what terrible UI.

A 60% on RT says that 6 out of 10 professional reviewers enjoyed this movie. It's not a rating of the movie itself. But my answer is Freddy Got Fingered.

For me it's The Core.

Red Sonja ruled when I watched it not too long ago. Apparently everyone hated it, critics and audiences alike, but I thought it was fun.

Just watched it the other night, 2013 RIPD. It was crazy, out there, pretty funny and just enjoyable to watch. 12% on rotten tomatoes

Southland Tales

Hardcore Henry

Arq (2016) has a 43% rating. I loved it.

I liked Transcendence and I thought it my qualify. 19% from critics, 37% from audiences. Wow, it is over qualified.

Okay, here we go:
47 Ronin (16 critic, 48 audience)
Priest (15 critics, 46 audience)

And (at least) two of my favorite movies:

Immortal (43 critics, 53 audience)

Doomsday (51 critics, 44 audience)

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

Hexed, a 1993 comedy starring Arye Gross.

9% Rottentomatoes, 36% Audience.

It's really, really dumb. I recently rented and rewatched it with my wife, who had never seen it and enjoyed it.

The lead character works in a hotel and is a serial liar / conman who meets up with the supermodel he keeps insisting is his girlfriend.

The highest upvote comments really didn't understand the assignment.

I too liked Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, and as someone else mentioned National Treasure and Transcendence.

Anyone say Pixels yet?

I'm not an Adam Sandler fan, the effects folks just did a really fun job and I get a little hit of dopamine seeing retro characters in real life.

G.I. Joe: Retaliation

Cowboys & Aliens

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.
