Good Lord some of the answers in this thread. I first thought this was like an unpopular opinion community. Is this all just Edge Lords trying to say the most popular and well regarded movies they can?

La la land. I hate that shit, I was happy when he lost the Oscar and I hadn't even seen the one he won.

The godfather movies.
I understand they influenced many other movies but they are just so fucking boring.
I couldn't get into any of the LOTR movies. I like fantasy, I like adventure, I like fighting, but those films are boring as hell to me.

I know this is heresy but any Godfather movie, or the Sopranos, or anything that romanticizes the fucking mafia. To me organized crime characters are pieces of shit I can't admire or relate to. The only movie that ever made me root for gangster types was Pulp Fiction, which is a masterpiece.
The Princess Bride
... Sorry. It's just not good.
Whoa there. This was a hard one not to down vote, well done.
damn, coming out swinging with these fighting words

How about one that will actually piss people off: The Shawshank Redemption
This movie is fine. I don't understand why it tops so many peoples lists for greatest movie though.

IT (2017).
I'm rereading the book right now and just watched the movie. While I agree it's... not good and certainly not faithful to the source material, I think the kids were all fantastic. They acted their little hearts out and - in my opinion - really nailed the characters.

"There Will be Blood" was one of the most drab, boring, washed out, and damn near unwatchable movies of all time, yet everyone claims it's a masterpiece. It's just a story of a man becoming richer than god, and going off the deep-end, culminating in a scene where his adopted kid tells him how much they hate him, and him murdering someone in a misguided fit of rage. None of the characters are relatable, redeeming or interesting. The script has like a grand total of 1000 words across the entire 2.5 hour run time, and none of it is particularly compelling. What a snooze fest.
I get where you're coming from. There will be Blood is based on an Upton Sinclair novel, Upton Sinclair was a staunch socialist and this could be felt in his writing. The film is a send-up of American exceptionalism. Daniel Plainview literally pulls himself up by his bootstraps. In my opinion it's an amazing comedy

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.
Absolute snoozefest with possibly the worst cast leads in modern history.
This was universally panned, so I don't think you hit the prompt.

I guess I can convince myself by rewatching if it actually is good, but:
Cabin in the Woods.
Tap for spoiler
I understand they were going for meta-horror, but it was so in your face, so mediocre, so shallow.
Scream series is far better meta horror imo.

Event horizon. It has a big following but I don't get the big horror. And the gore in the director's cut is more annoying than shocking. Maybe if it was the first space horror movie you watched
