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.

Any transformers movie. I just like seeing a bunch of cars transform into robots to then fight each other.

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

Mine is Stealth from 2005. Not high art by any means, but a fun action movie with some pretty cool special effects. Also written by the guy who wrote Big Trouble in Little China and directed The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension so bonus there.

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.

Probably Elizabethtown - Cameron Crowe movie from 2005.

Southland Tales - 41%

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

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

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

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