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.

Probably Elizabethtown - Cameron Crowe movie from 2005.

I don't trust and hence use these rating services. I just watch the full movie

Waiting is a fantastic movie. Hilarious, especially towards the end with the new hire. 30% on Rotten Tomatoes.

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.

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.

Sgt Bilko, sitting at 30% from the critics, 47% from viewers.

I thought it was absolutely hilarious when I was about 13, and honestly, it holds up on a re-watch now, if only because Steve Martin and Dan Aykroyd.

Small Apartments - 30%

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.

Sanctum. Was surprised to see it with an audience score of 37%.

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

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

I honestly really liked The New Mutants and the idea of a superhero movie where everything happens in only one place.

Envy (2004) starting Jack Black and Ben Stiller. I recently rewatched this as it had been 10+ years since I last saw it. I was pretty surprised to see how poorly rated it was. Supposedly Jack and Ben even apologized for it. I don't know, I still think it's funny.
