Two of my goals for this year are save everyone trillions of hours and get linked on Andy Baio's link miniblog because it is by far the be all and end all of all things awesome.
With this project I saw an opportunity to accomplish both.
Mr. Baio linked to Dan Meth's Trilogy Meter. Here, Mr. Meth does not try to end the debate between movie nerds, but instead fuels the flames since he only offers one opinion -- his.
Mr. Baio said on his site, "I'd love to see a version redone using ratings from Rotten Tomatoes."
Well, fellow cinema lovers, I bring you -- charts using Google Spreadsheets. As everyone knows Rotten Tomatoes is the most fantastic movie rating website ever designed because it takes the consensus of so many know-it-all movie reviewers that it can NEVER be wrong. EVER! So stop debating -- the answers are below.
UPDATE: Both missions accomplished -- I should add Mission: Impossible to this list, shouldn't I?

Kinda surprised that T1 scored so high.
hate to break it to you, but your LOTR graph is way off. instead of using the first film from peter jackson's trilogy (the fellowship of the ring), you accidentally grabbed the tomatometer score from the rather awful 1978 animated version.
Good catch, Eitan. I fixed it.
Oh man, where is Alien/Aliens/Alien3???
The first TERMINATOR is such a far and a way superior film to that which followed it... I'm surprised people are so suckered in by the FX of T2 that they don't recognize the movie doesn't hold a candle to the original.
thank you peterme for being a voice of reason amidst the chaos
Hey I really liked this.
I am surprised Die Hard WAV didn't score higher. It's definitely a big improvement on Die Harder. Plus, Sam Jackson.
