That would be WaterWorld which could be remade if it went with the same idea that Stephen Baxter uses in his Flood and Ark books flood Flood (Baxter novel) - Wikipedia
I also like Postman, I prefer it over the actual book.

You can't mention Ernie without mentioning another movie of his that I like: Surf Ninjas.

The Postman is good, but it was a TV mini-series, not a movie. And I also enjoyed Waterworld. There is an extended/director's cut version with some added scenes that help the story too.

Heretic of The Seventh Circle
Krull. Classic! Watched it until the corner store had to get a new tape for me to rent every weekend.
Dungeons and Dragons. Seriously. It’s wonderful. Full stop.
He-Man.
Hitman.
XXX Vin Deisel, dumb action, stunts, Rammstein.
Solarbabies. Just go download it somewhere and watch it, man. It’s the best.

A couple more that underperformed that I also enjoyed:
The Last Witchhunter
Seventh Son
And The Great Wall with Matt Damon. It got all sorts of bad press and poor box office because of the false accusations of Whitewashing, but it is actually good and the "White Guy saves the Asians" trope is minor to the overall story.

As a related aside, I have come to feel that Rotten Tomatoes is a bane on culture. On one hand, their ratings do provide something: they give a kind of status quo take on how good a film is and probably correlate pretty well with the Academy and your garden variety middle class Americans. But I dislike the whole idea of "cultural gatekeepers" who decide what is and is not quality, which often has a political aspect to it.
At the very least, I have found that there isn't a strong correlation between RT ratings and my enjoyment of a film. Or rather, the correlation is something like half the time, maybe a bit more, maybe a bit less. But sometimes they are just way off. For instance, one of my top 5 favorite films is rated at 22%, and this is a film that I find deeply meaningful.
A more well-known example of "RT dissonance" is their rating for Dark Phoenix. While it was far from a perfect film, it was hardly the disaster that their 23% rating implies. Certainly it was far better than X-Men: The Last Stand (57%). What I think happens is that word-of-mouth gets out, and people--even professional reviewers--are influenced by what they hear. All of a sudden is cool to bag on Dark Phoenix.
Basically I think it comes down to this: RT ratings represent the cultural status quo. If your tastes align closely with the status quo, then they'll work for you. If you diverge from the status quo, well, the more you diverge, the less the ratings will align with your tastes.

I'm confused by what you mean here,are you saying it was an actual tv mini-series or that it just felt like one?

I only remember seeing it air over multiple nights when it was on TV. If it had an actual theatrical release, I do not know.
