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.

Street Fighter has 11%.

It's glorious. It's a comedy that only Raul Julia is in on. Everyone else playing it dead serious, but a super hammy scenery chewing villain, with some genuinely great lines.

It's what modern movies are missing. Especially the recent MCU fare. Jonathan Majors and Josh Brolin may well be great actors, but they're not great villains. They're a better fit for mumbling their way through a 3 hour Chris Nolan epic.

Think Tim Curry or Alan Rickman in practically anything they were ever in. The earlier movies had this spark with Jeff Bridges and Tom Hiddleston, but they've lost it now. These things live and die by their choice of villain. They are after all the reason for the movie to exist.

"For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday. "

This comment makes me think of Marc Alaimo (the actor who played Gul Dukat).
