This is me but with Shawshank Redemption. I get what it was trying to go for but I just didn't vibe with it. I can appreciate the fact that so many people saw something in it that I didn't. To me it was decent but by no means one of the best films ever

I reckon I could think of something worse.

if i lived life thinking there was something wrong with me just because i don't like something it seems like everyone else likes, then that would be one miserable existence--no thanks. anyway, for me it was the big lebowski--probably the most boring pointless movie i ever sat through

Any of those boring-ass superhero movies. What is so appealing about hour-long GCI fight scenes and no plot?

Avatar. Technically the 3D was fun, but I can't understand any of the rabid fandom.

What movie is it for you? For me, The Princess Bride.

[off topic?]

I had heard about Gone with The Wind all my life and I knew it was incredibly racist. It finally came on basic cable and I decided to see what all the fuss was about.

I found myself watching and liking a movie I knew was complete and utter bullshit.

I thought Black Panther was mid at best but it made me sound like a racist whenever I mentioned that.

It insists upon itself.

Any of the mission impossible/fast and furious films. That shit is boring.

Oppenheimer

And even to an extent interstellar

I just find recent Nolan massively overrated

Which is ironic because The Prestige, Memento and even Dunkirk are great

It really depends on the movie, but I think most movies that people see as "universally loved" are children's movies, and the people who love them the most are those who watched them when they were kids. Sometimes, they're not very good if you see them outside of their intended demographic.

On top of that, everybody has their own tastes. I know a person who doesn't like Shawshank Redemption because she feels uncomfortable with enclosed spaces. And I'm personally not fond of movies with people who act like gangsters, so I've never felt particularly affectionate towards Godfather movies.

It’s Top Gun for me. It’s just Tom Cruise being Tom Cruise in a flight jacket.

Top Gun 2 sucked ass.

Everything Everywhere All At Once. I found it utterly boring, yet everyone seemd to love it, especially my fellow ADHD crowd. I never even bothered finishing the film which is bloody rare for me.

Yet I like mind-bending films like Primer, and chaotic films like Crank, and heck, I even like Battleship as a guilty pleasure that I can turn my brain off to... But this film? Bleh.

I was a huge Star Wars fan before Disney took over, and haven't liked anything they've done with it. Most people agree, with 2 exceptions: Andor, which I admittedly haven't watched yet, and...Rogue One

I don't think Rogue One is much better than the other Disney Star Wars drivel, but I'm apparently the only person in the universe who thinks that. I've watched it three times and just don't get why people think it's good.

This is me with any movie starring Will Farrell, but especially Talladega Nights. He can be good in supporting roles (Zoolander springs to mind), but all the movies he leads just don't land with me.

counterpoint: there are worse things than this

For me, Star Wars and Lord of the Ring (the books, as well.)
The best part? I publish SF and fantasy for a living.

The Deadpool Movies, just don't get them for some reason.

Feel like there's no real plot, nothing really matters, the humor is family guy level cameos and 4th wall breaks that are only funny when used sparingly.

It's like eating an Oreo but we took out the cookie so now you're just OD'ing on stuffing and not in a good way.

Anything from Quentin Tarantino, his writing style just bugs the fuck out of me, he is so far up his own ass and it shows with every stupid pretentious monologue.

So much sound and fury, signifying nothing.

I just can't get into The Big Lebowski. I've tried several times and can never seem to finish it.

For TV, it's Seinfeld. I don't find it funny at all.

Don't look up was that movie for me. Almost everyone praised it to high heavens, with me smirking at maybe 2 lines / scenes throughout that entire slog.

Each to his own, I guess...

Breakfast Club

multiple hours of horrible teenagers and some horrible adults learning no valuable lessons and their actions being glorified

also the two love interest characters fall for each other despite having zero chemistry, cuz fuck you can't have a teen movie without a romance i guess

Star Wars. LOTR.

I’ll let myself out.

For me, it's Scott Pilgrim
