I’m asking because an IMDb rating cutoff above 6.5±5 seems to generally do a good job making sure I don’t regret watching something. But what am I missing among the sub-6? I know they exist, but it is hard to select among seas of…bad movies.

    Idiocracy. Has stood the test of time surprisingly well for a movie containing so many fart and sex jokes.

      My wife and teenage step son had never seen this before, so we all tried watching it last year. Every single one of us fell asleep. It wasn’t nearly as funny and entertaining as I remembered.

      But that won’t stop me from saying “IT’S GOT WHAT PLANTS CRAVE!” at least once a month.

      I wouldn’t say it was prophetic, because most of it was already there in 2000, but less virulent. But yeah, Mike Judge had to push against the industry to get it out, so at least some corpos were aware of what he was saying too. That is why it wasn’t higher, because Fox tried to neglect-kill it.
