For years I had this weird pre determined idea that a movie has to be better than 7.5/10 rating on IMDB for it to be atleast decent. I don’t know why this was the case, but anything below that I usually didn’t bother to watch.

In the last year I have been starting to slowly realise how bad of a metric that is. For example, Annihilation is 6.8/10 on IMDB and for years I put it off because of this exact stupid reason, it didn’t met the quota of 7.5. After my friend nagged me multiple times to watch it, I finally gave in and oh my god that movie is amazing. There was particulary one scene that blew me away and immediately after watching the movie I started thinking of how many good movies I missed because of some stupid random metric I followed for years.

So my question is, are there any other movies that have under 7/10 rating on IMDB but are actually really good movies?
