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.

...howard the duck is my standard-bearer for an unconditionally good movie which gets everything right, but it only rates 14% with critics and 38% with audiences: i'm absolutely convinced that a minority of those ratings are from folks who just didn't get it at the time and the majority are folks who've since dogpiled-on because they believe they're supposed think it's bad...
...it's not-at-all a bad movie; it's solidly entertaining from start to finish, masterfully-produced, and i love it more every time i watch it...
TIL Tori Amos auditioned for the female lead, lol!
It's funny, I've read through this whole topic, and agree with every movie everyone has suggested.
But when it comes to Howard Duck I had to draw the line there, it's a horrible movie, but I'm laughing at myself for thinking it's a horrible movie, as all the other movies that most people think were bad I actually liked.
So there's got to be something about that movie that was just not entertaining for watch for me, vs. the others.
I love it. Completely ahead of it's time and in the wrong universe
