Opinions: What is a movie you genuinely like, that is rated below 60% on rotten tomatoes? (xkcd.com)

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.

For people with Letterboxd I found some lists where it's easier to compare with your watched movies (by hovering):

https://letterboxd.com/23warnecol/list/good-movies-with-bad-rotten-tomatoes-scores/

https://letterboxd.com/poisonivies/list/good-ratings-on-letterboxd-bad-ratings-on/

https://letterboxd.com/pakejanek/list/good-movies-with-bad-rotten-tomatoes-scores/

Now personally I've watched very few of the movies in those lists and almost all of those I've given very bad scores or have abstained to. The best one was 3/5 for Star Wars Episode I, which I though was fine.

Bunraku, and despite the title it's an english movie with Woody Harrelson and Ron Perlman. Its setting stands out the most as it's made as a giant paper popup book with a sin city ambiance sprinkled with some cartoony humor.

Although the movie tone is pretty serious ala Sin City, it's not a serious movie at all. And I believe a lot of dont-take-it-so-serious movies got unjustly canned a lot in '00s & '10s by critics. I'm glad to see that's changing a bit over last few years.

Due Date (2011)

I watched this yesterday and had several laughs. I understand that it's not a cinematic masterpiece, but it is actually pretty good, way better than a 40%!

Bushwick. For one, I'm a huge Aesop Rock fan. For two, I thought it was a fun little 'what if' flick.

If it doesn't have to be post-2000 like the comic...North 1994. Rated 4.5, I think it's a magic realism masterpiece and I like it better than "The Alchemist", there I said it.
