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 would go with In the Mouth of Madness, one of my faves but it's pre 2000

Another is Jingle all the Way. I think it's a perfect Christmas Movie but again pre 2000

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

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.

Fired Up. Sitting at 24 percent from critics.

Was it as good as Not Another Teen Movie? No, probably not. But it still had some hilarious moments and lines. I especially enjoyed the long running jokes they kept sneaking in throughout the movie.

Mine is Stealth from 2005. Not high art by any means, but a fun action movie with some pretty cool special effects. Also written by the guy who wrote Big Trouble in Little China and directed The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension so bonus there.

Halloween Ends (2022)

I watched it in theaters when it came out and really liked it. Interesting slasher movie with good scenes and a good plot. Yes, I wish they would have let Cory keep the spirit of Michael alive, but it is probably better to let the character die in peace.

But then i saw all the Michael Myers fans hating on it afterwards and never understood why. 40% on rotten tomatoes.

Ditto, I genuinely enjoyed watching that

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

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.

A lot of movies I like aren't scored well on RT. I'm convinced it's just filled with the kind of people that want suggestion

[–] Patawagon@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

When i was younger (teen) i watched the cat in the hat w/ mike myres and LOVED it. Wasnt untill years later i found it was rated so bad. Still i guinuinly like it.

[–] ramsgrl909@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Eli, was a fun scary movie. Not sure where all the hate comes from

[–] BrineBlade@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago

I've got 3:

Spy Kids 2, (audience score of 39%), for not only the amazing creature design, but for also being a surprisingly philosophical movie

Sky High, (audience score of 57%). Good superhero comedy where Bruce Campbell is a gym teacher. He's not the main character, but certainly the most memorable

Looney Tunes Back in Action, (Tomatometer of 57%, audience score of 50%). This was my Roger Rabbit. Seeing the cartoons interacting so well with the humans was amazing to me when I was younger, and I still remember some of the more Looney moments. Plus it has Casey Kasem's Shaggy threatening to beat up Matthew Lilard after his performance in the live action Scooby Doo.
