West Side Story, though I own it, so it's just a matter of time.

@indianajones It is. I can confirm your hunch I tried to view it Nov 27th 2019 and I could not finish it due to boredom and turned it off @ 1hr56min. the parts with Clark Gable where probably the best of what I did see though. but overall it's boring and boring is the worst crime a movie can commit in general as my interest in it was basically zero for too long to where I could not take it anymore even though it was watchable a little here and there. but collectively it's like watching paint dry. p.s. I made it pretty far into Gone with the Wind (1939) as normally if a movie is completely boring ill usually dump it around 40 minutes or so. because as a general rule for me... if i am going to write a movie off as boring and give it my usual 2/10 rating I need to see a bare minimum of 30min+ (I have had rare exceptions where ill turn it off less than this and give it my usual 2/10 though) but I try to aim for around 40min as I feel that's more than fair for a movie to not be completely boring. but one movie that comes to mind that I have only seen about the first 20min was Citizen Kane (1941) but I did not rate this, even though if my interest in the movie at that point continued for about another 20 minutes it's likely I would turn it off and give it my usual 2/10. before people think I call movies boring fairly often, it's not true as here is some facts... over the long term only around 1 out of every 14 movies I have seen gets turned off due to boredom (or about 7.2% of everything I have seen). so it's not a common occurrence for me even though it does happen here and there.

If you give Gone With The Wind 2/10 than you have proven that you are a person not to be taken seriously when you speak about the quality of a movie. And you really need to stop acting as if your opinion is factual its not.

Quite a few. GWTW is up there, but there’s also stuff like The Exorcist, Goodfellas, Seven Samurai, Singing in the Rain, It Happened One Night, Young Frankenstein, Taxi Driver, Django Unchained, Annie Hall, Se7en, and The Sixth Sense. There’s more but that is just off the top of my head.
