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.

Next (2007), starring the One True God, alongside Julianne Moore and Jessica Biel.

It's a brilliant movie (loosely) based on a Philip K Dick short story. It's been nominated and won actual awards (Worst Actor and Worst Supporting Actress from the prestigious Razzie Awards, Worst Foreign Actor from the Yoga Awards), and it stands the test of time comfortably at 28% on the tomatometer.

I wish I was kidding. I've watched this over a dozen times. I can't stop. Send help.

I remember the shot where we see many possibilities illustrated via many Nics, and thinking "Huh. That's really interesting. I'm not sure this movie deserves it."

That was one of the best takes on the practical usefulness of precognition that I've ever seen

Yes, there's an underlying taste of "oh my god look how they massacred a great idea" to it, but I've learned to swish it in my mouth and savor it by now.

You would probably really like Deja Vu.

I just watched the trailer, and it feels really familiar, like I've seen it before, but I don't really remember anything about it..

...so I guess I'll just watch it (again.)

Thanks for the suggestion!

Oh god, Nicholas Cage? It probably deserves whatever terrible rating it gets.

Well, this was before his dark period. He was still trying.

And also, how dare you sir!
