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.

"Freddy Got Fingered". So stupid and obnoxious that it might actually be brilliant. Arguably

Tenet is criminally under rated at 69%. Easily one of my favorite movies of all time.

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.

How about TV shows? I kinda liked Velma, lol. And we know how well that went doen with everyone.

So I thnk I win this contest.

I'm Thinking of Ending Things. I love how bizarre it is, watched it like 3 or 4 times. I was surprised to see it has 50% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Probably Elizabethtown - Cameron Crowe movie from 2005.

Apollo 18. It just has the atmosphere, sense of isolaton and impending doom.

Also Life which is thematically similar, but higher production value.

And in the same vein, Europa Report, though it has critic score of 80. One of the best hard sci-fi films ever.

Almost forgot Pandorum—that one was decent, too.

As was Prometheus (I know biologists and geologists IRL, studied biology myself—the films depiction of these folks is spot on!).

I really enjoyed Europa Report. Didn't know it was so lowly scored by the audience.

Big Game by Samuel Jackson. I really loved that movie and people barely know it exists.

The little mermaid: Return to the sea

Rated 45% https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_little_mermaid_2_return_to_the_sea

I like it because there's not many movies that just concentrate on swimming around in the ocean. I genuinely like it when I'm sick or background noise.

[–] Smurfpiss@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Not rotten tomatoes, but the Untouchables has a metacritic score of 57, which blows my mind cause I really enjoyed it.
