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.

The Fountain is a great movie that you have to watch at least twice. Also watch it stoned for bonus points.

I have no clue how it's sitting at 52% critic score on RT...

Reviewers don't watch movies twice, and it clearly went over their heads. Movie is super deep, super ambiguous at times, but beautifully shot, the music is chefs kiss, the ending. GAH the ending. Makes you happy, makes you sad, the CGI is actually really good. I could talk about the Fountain all day.

The summary sold me but it sounds like Cloud Atlas. I’m willing to find out.

The soundtrack alone deserves it having more than 60%

You have to think too hard about the fountain for a critic to give a good review. And you really have to pay attention or, as you said, watch it more than once.
