The Godfather. Despite several attempts I've never made it through, it just can't hold my attention.

I liked it but agree with this sentiment
[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.
Well, as a movie, it's a good movie. Great directing, incredible acting (for the era), with a dynamic and well paced story. It holds up in technical terms despite the shifts in style and performance that have happened over the years.
If you hum really hard during the racist parts, you could still call it one of the greats. And it isn't like it's "birth of a nation" bad in that regard. There's way worse movies out there from the era, and the era before that was horrible on average.

Any of the mission impossible/fast and furious films. That shit is boring.
It insists upon itself.
Interstellar for me. Great soundtrack though.
The groan I emitted in-theatre at the "but what about the power of love?" line is brought up whenever this movie is mentioned among the group with whom I watched it

It's soooooooo boring. I've suffered through it twice and both times I was completely checked out waiting for the movie to end to go do something else with my friends.
To make things worse, I work in the aerospace industry on spacecraft so this movie regularly comes up in conversations and inevitably I end up having to explain how I did not like it

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.

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

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.
Out of all the Will Farrell movies you could have picked you went and used the best one as your example?

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.

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

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.
