Ask Lemmy

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.

Southland Tales

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'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.

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

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

For me it's The Core.

The Master Of Disguise

The turtle scene is one of the best things I've ever seen.

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.

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

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.

Hardcore Henry

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

Southland Tales - 41%

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

This took a few tries, so here is everything I found.

I got Cowboys & Aliens, but technically that doesn't work for the xkcd rules because that movie came out the month before my 18th birthday. Very close though. And I guess it's kind of a case of so bad it's good, for most people, but for me, it's the James Bond / Indiana Jones crossover I always wanted and it's probably the closest thing I'll ever get.

I enjoyed Aladdin (2019), Don't Look Up, and Don't Worry Darling but I wouldn't say they are among my favorite films. They only meet the requirement for reviewer score though. And I think audience score is where it's at for this challenge. Suicide Squad works for this version of the challenge, but not for xkcd on audience score. Anyone can like a film that did poorly with critics.

This is probably going to end poorly for me, but for the rules as written xkcd challenge, I got Pixels. It's an Adam Sandler movie, and I know some people don't like those. I'm not crazy about Adam Sandler films, but this one was about video games and I really enjoyed it. I think Sandler did it justice. His experience with video games seemed to be primarily from arcades, but I think that is a valid perspective.

I watched it with my roommate during college. I guess some people hate it because they feel the original vision wasn't done justice for the short film it was based on. I might have seen some of that original short film, I can't rule that out for certain. But based on the version I found on youtube while writing this I clearly hadn't. The controversy didn't detract from my enjoyment of Pixels.

Zardoz. 49% at RT. I genuinely love it. It's insane and weird and doesn't make sense and it's wonderful. I even have an original poster framed in my house.

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.

The Cheap Detective (1978) by Neil Simon with Peter Falk. Laugh out loud funny. I love Falk in comic roles. I thought The Cheap Detective was much better than Murder by Death (1976), but I seem to be in the minority there.
