How can I Filter that to only get the right search-results?

@Breu ..

I don't think you can.

Instead, search for movies restricted to titles you have rated.

Then, sort by your rating and scroll down until you find the top 3 with red metacritic scores.

(You might want to also place a minimum vote count to exclude some obscure B/Indie films you might have liked, but which most voters would not know of.)

If I sort like that (My Ratings), I see no metacritic badge!

I don't know how I should manage that.

That's weird.

PC, yes. Windows, Firefox. I did go through the first 1000 movies with a rating of 1-6/10. I don't see another way to connect it to my love for lesser rated movies. As long as there are no specific filters, there always may be better movies I would pick. So just took the first 1000 that appear and picked three of them:Godzilla (1998):

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120685/

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009):https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1055369/

Hollow Man (2009):

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0164052/

@Breumaster, try using the search I pasted above.

This will sort the titles in order of your highest rated titles, excluding those with < 5000 votes which are unlikely to have Metacritic scores

That was helpful. Thank you. Please skip my picks above. I would rather pick:

Pele: Birth of A Legend (2016):

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0995868/

Beauty and the Beast (2014):

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2316801/

Equilibrium (2002):

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0238380/

Glad that helped.

Also, Equilibrium is a great film.

Hi @Breumaster,

Good afternoon.

Jaf could not edit the OP, he wrote in a comment that it's 3 picks per user.

I liked "The Life of David Gale" very much. Critics of a certain political disposition didn't.

We do not have any death penalty in European Union. Guess where the crime rates are higher.

homicides in USA: 5-7 per 100.000 citizens

homicides in Europe: 2 per 100.000 citizens

Deterrence simply does not work, sanity does!

…and this has been true both historically and in current data.

I'm very sorry. Didn't get that you limited it to 3 picks. I want to keep my old three. When it comes to a fourth pick in future, you can take 'The Life of David Gale'.

Whitney Houston singing alone is enough for the film to get a respectable score.

And maybe it was because I was very young, but the "secret villain's" identity came as quite a surprise.

I had to surf for over 1,000 ratings before finding three with a red metacritic score.

Mine would be:

 Venom, The Life Before Her Eyes (2007), Red Notice.

"The Life Before Her Eyes" would have been great if it had been released 10 years earlier... in The Sixth Sense, Usual Suspects, Fight Club, etc. era.

By the late 2000s the twist felt blase.

I only have two that I come to mind right away. I'll look for a third but in the meantime:

Extremities (1968)

American Son (2019)

Both of these were plays first and several critics complained that they worked better on stage than on screen. I know that can happen but geez, a score in the thirties for material that was received very well on stage and to some extent, had the same casts, seems extreme. 

'Good idea, by the way. : )

This also often happens when novels are adapted as films or mini-series.

Sometimes, the adaptations are totally awful, but at other times, the changes are justified in order to make the story "work" in an audio-visual motion picture format; and to increase the appeal to the largest possible audience.

Then again, there are some TOTAL desecrations. 

HBO's Fahrenheit 451 stands out as one of the worst of the worst - they literally (unknowingly) made a movie that everything the book was criticising
