I've tried watching Fight Club a couple times, I find it boring beyond belief.
Also Citizen Kane. I recognize it for its place in history and the fine cinematography, but I find the actual film boring as f.
Also, I find all Star Wars boring.

Shawshank Redemption
Inception - HATED it when I first saw it, enjoyed it more on subsequent viewings but still find it tedious.

Anything to do with: Lord of the Rings Harry Potter Star Wars Star Trek Pretty much any Super Hero movie ......and find the Godfather series highly overrated although it's grown on me a tad over the years - just don't get all the over the top love it receives. But to each their own - I have favorites others regard as crap (like the cult classic AvP  ) |

The Matrix, shows up high in a lot of lists. I found it unremarkable with bullet time a cool innovation. Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon came out a few months later and blew it out of the water IMO. Bullet time was cool, wire-fu was cooler. Then 2 terrible sequels came out, further solidifying the original's plainness in my mind. I like Keanu though. Glad he found his way into a truly memorable action franchise with the John Wick films

You didn't enjoy the twist at the end of Fight Club at all?
Have owned the book (and movie) for years - it looks like a quick read - will actually have to read it at some point.......own a ton of Chuck Palahniuk books -

Or perhaps you might have meant famous movies that you hated.
I found Inception not good at all. I wouldn't even rate it good but it seems it is generally rated as being good by both the masses and the critics.

Glad he found his way into a truly memorable action franchise with the John Wick films Crouching Tiger is a master class in cinematography and fight choreography. Funny, I really enjoyed the Matrix when it came out, but the sequels totally ruined it for me. Usually I can separate entries within a series, but with the Matrix, they went in such stupid and pretentious directions, and the climactic battles are so monotonous that it just killed the entire thing for me. |

Anything by Christopher Nolan
Any comic book movie
Any Die Hard movie (or any like it)
I'll go along with Fight Club (disappointing, I love Edward Norton usually)
Gee, I bet this goes over well, especially the third item

The Sound of Music Gone with the Wind Taxi Driver I found Taxi Driver an entertaining flick that kept my interest; however never before has a musical score just completely ruined the entire movie for me.
The 'jazzy' slow music made my ears bleed - own it - but don't think I can ever watch it again due to the musical score/soundtrack.
