Yes, this is so not my genre, but I loved this movie. If it’s playing when I’m channel surfing, I’ll often stop to watch. But it bugs the crap out of me that they often cut off that very last scene at the end of the credits. Chaz deserves his due!
This is a good bet to go over 50%. Perhaps a bit ahead of its time. Completely accurate portrayal of American students and European locales. Without any exaggeration, it’s really all you need to know. Nobody need ever leave their own country again! 
I think sometimes movies that don’t compare favorably with the original will be rated lower than they would have been if *they *had been the original. Bedazzled is in this category, as is Vanilla Sky – well, Tom Cruise’s “acting” didn’t help much with the latter.
Started at 50% and went down the list. Post 2000 AD makes it tricky as I would defend Willow, Rooster Cogburn, and Kingpin.
For kids movies I would defend Home and Atlantis: The Lost Empire. But for an adult movie:
Green Street Hooligans
Yeah, that’s me. I love the original with Peter Cook as the devil, with his pal Dudley Moore (they were half of Beyond The Fringe). But I might love it too much… the remake could be half as good and it’d be great!
Public Notice: I am NOT giving anyone permission to remake Casablanca or Citizen Kane or (shudder) Harvey.
I liked both of those, although I don’t know how I’d react to Den of Thieves now after seeing the recent Rick & Morty episode that made all heist movies (up to that point a favorite genre of mine) seem silly.
I couldn’t abide the Boris & Natasha Russian accents–in fact, I walked out of the theatre five or ten minutes in.
Well, what would matter is what critics thought–and I could imagine them liking it. I saw this over and over on pay cable as a kid (before parents could set a maximum rating, as I do now for my younger kids). Really bizarre but I dug it.
Yeah, I like this movie, and the screenwriter Diablo Cody in general. Have you seen Young Adult?
As did I! Actually, that’s what led me to this thread: I just watched it on Blu-ray and wanted to find a thread for it. But then I got sucked into the cool premise of the question, and made my own list:
Blindness (2008): This is made by a generally acclaimed filmmaker (Fernando Meireilles) and it’s not far below 50% at 44%, but all the same I think it’s a great film and it fits the criteria.
Brief Interviews with Hideous Men (2009): The “critics consensus” summary says it “tries hard but doesn’t match the depth of the book”. Well, maybe that’s the issue. I haven’t read the book, and just taking it as a film on its own terms, I thought it was amazing.
*Shrink *(2009): Only 27%, yikes! Beg to differ.
Did You Hear About the Morgans (2009): Laugh-out-loud funny.
28 Hotel Rooms (2012): Fits a pattern I’ve noticed that American audiences (including critics) are uncomfortable with movies in which protagonists engage in marital infidelity without having “good reasons”, then don’t get caught, don’t fess up, and don’t have a crisis of conscience about it. (Whereas I kind of like that sort of thing, but then I’m proudly dissolute.)
Passengers (2016): I’ve talked about this one before. The only big budget, hard sci-fi story (no aliens or FTL travel) I know of made in the 20th century (or maybe even ever!) that is set in the fairly far future. (“The Martian” and “Gravity” are set sometime in the 21st century for sure, but this has to be at least a couple thousand years from now if not quite a bit more, although the Chrysler Building is referenced.) Really a shame it was a critical and box office failure. 
*Downsizing *(2017): At times, didn’t do as much with the “high concept” premise as I or some others might have wished. But absolutely worth seeing.
*Midway *(2019): I don’t generally respect this filmmaker and I only went to see this because I had a free pass and it was playing on the most expensive (pseudo-IMAX) screen so it gave me the most bang for my buck. But I was really impressed! The effects and attention to detail were amazing. And even if some of the characters said things that were a little corny, I actually buy that people of their generation and in their position probably *were *a little corny.
A Thousand Words got a 0% critic’s score on Rotten Tomatoes, but I thought it was wonderful.
Three that I have caught on TV recently and watched again:
Bad Boys (42)
Three Amigos (45)
Man On Fire (38)
and, an almost dishonorable mention for
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (51) which I probably saw for the third time.
I’m also a fan of Three Amigos. With the current heat wave, I feel like two of the amigos in this scene:
Brimstone
2016
43%
Almost dishonorable mention for Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz in the action/comedy Knight and Day (52% critic score, 49% audience score). I love that movie.
With comedies so much more of it is down to personal taste that it’s more difficult for them to get high ratings. I mean, Three Amigos is very unsophisticated humour, but that’s what I want sometimes.
When I was a kid my friends and I loved it so much we’d re-enact scenes and do the three amigos routine - the hands across the chest thing finishing in the pelvic thrust.
Thanks for the reminder - am going to add it to my watch list.
The Lovely Bones (2009), with a 32/52 Tomatometer/Audience score. Very well-made film, IMO, depite the ick factor.
