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 Big Lebowsky
That’s a rough one. Everyone ever loves it… I completely do not get it.
It had to grow on me, kinda like a fungus. I didn’t like it the first time. For some reason I was convinced to watch it twice more. Now it’s solidly alright for me.

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.

Uwe Boll's "Alone in the dark"
I rented that movie, and it was so bad that half way through it I turned it off. When I went back to the rental store they offered me my money back.
I said no. Because some lessons have to be painful in order to learn from them.
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.

No Country For Old Men.
I was actually really enjoying the whole cat and mouse thing until the main fucking character died off-screen.
How does nobody ever talk about how shitty that "plot twist" is? It's not clever. It's not entertaining. It's just bad storytelling. They don't even show you a good shot of him to convey what actually happened. My girlfriend and I had to rewind it twice because it was so fucking stupid and made so little sense.
That's actually how I feel about most of the Coen Brothers' movies. The classical narrative structure exists for a reason. It's a good framework for telling a story that makes sense.
Sometimes there's a good artistic reason for diverting from that and telling the story in an unconventional way. Other times it's just pretentious auteur garbage.

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.

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.
