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.

Can't really think of anything off the top of my head myself, but I love the Sherlock Holmes movies!

Dead Before Dawn 3d 2012: I find this movie a fun and hilarious silly movie. The plot itself is pretty straight forward but I love the characters and comedic dialogue. Definitely underrated.

Battlefield Earth, I like it

Xanadu (1980)

Featuring the ultimate power couple: Sandy from Grease and Swan from The Warriors!

Lock Up (1989).
Yes it's a generic prison movie with quite a few standard tropes, but I've always liked it.

Civil War. I don't know the rating on Rotten Tomatoes, but I do know that it is a recent movie, and 196 sent me here lol

Mother Lode (1982)

A film about a man living alone and far away from civilization in a wooden hut, digging a mineshaft for years in search of gold. Very atmospheric and doesn't have any of putting moments in my opinion, despite the rating.

When I wanted to rewatch it 10 years later it was so hard to find that I had to make a post on a movie buff forum with a vague description from memory because I forgot the title.

Avatar by M. Night. Legit one of my favorite movies.
