[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 8962875, member: 11760"] Not true. (Side note: You are allowed to like "bad stuff" and it's not a personal attack on you if something you love is rated poorly by the critics, who tend to see hundreds of movies a year and are a lot less forgiving than you or I would be of a film's flaws.) Most movies never get a wide release, which fills up [URL='https://www.rottentomatoes.com/browse/movies_at_home/sort:critic_highest?page=2']the charts[/URL] with a lot of "what is [I]this stuff," [/I]but that's true for any point in the scale. Just looking at [URL='https://www.rottentomatoes.com/browse/movies_in_theaters/critics:certified_fresh~sort:popular']what's in theaters now or relatively recently (including re-releases)[/URL], the stuff with the top scores include the following: [LIST] [*]Banshees of Inisherin, 96%, short list for Best Picture Oscar [*]Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, 95% with critics, 94% with audiences, a big hit with my family [*]MEGAN, 93% with critics, 78% with audiences, a big hit in theaters [*]RRR, 95% with critics, 94% with audiences, a massive worldwide hit, probably the most popular international action movie since Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (which has gotten a rerelease and has a 98% with critics, 86% with audiences) [/LIST] Anecdotally, my wife and I have used the Tomatometer to twice pick movies with 100% scores out to watch. Both Ex Machina and What We Do in the Shadows are among the best movies I've ever seen and my wife and I laughed so hard and so constantly during What We Do in the Shadows, our kids came to check on us, worried we were having some sort of fit. (Ex Machina has since dropped to 92%, but was 100% when it first came to home video, and What We Do in the Shadows has dropped to a 96%.) [/QUOTE]
