Citizen Kane and 2001: A Space Odyssey suck now.
There are old movies that have aged much better, like The Man in the White Suit and Colossus: The Forbin Project. These should be the ones we call classics.
There's nothing great about Studio Ghibli movies, they have appreciable hand-drawn effort but that isn't what makes a movie.

I just don't like Star Wars and I like sci-fi in general. But Star Wars is just one of those stories I can't make myself to like.
I remember fondly the prequels with pod racing and that red black guy with double lightsaber. I wached those movies as a child.
Later I tried watching all of them and I could not bring myself to finish even one. The dated effects (good for their time) just took me out of the story way too much.
I also tried waching the new ones, but they just felt boring so I dropped them.
I don't know what is it about Star Wars, but I just can't bring myself to like them even with nostalgia by my side.
Star wars was always more of a fantasy film than scifi, maybe that's why?

The Christopher Nolan Batman trilogy, started out great with it's first movie and then it plumed straight down with the two next ones.
Wow, you're the first person I've seen to notice that Batman Begins is the strongest of the 3.
Like, Heath delivered an incredible performance, but everything else surrounding it was not as cohesively put together as the first film.

Ryan Reynolds finest role in film was Van Wilder. Deadpool is basically Van Wilder in a costume.

6 Underground was a good movie. Michael Bay is just making fun of himself, and I thought it was hilarious

Dune is complete crap from the soundtrack to the script. The characters are as thick as cardboard and their interactions motivate nothing. It's full of slow motion nonsense, flying metal dragonflies and Zimmer's horns. These days filmmakers are convinced visuals make storytelling. They don't. Dialogue does and here there's not a single line I remember.
OP asked for unpopular opinions and you've delivered.
Upvoted you because of that and not because I agree with you (I strongly disagree as a matter of fact).

Not trying to convince you otherwise. But movies are audiovisual media. It's right there in the name. So they visuals and the audio are a big thing for that medium. Radio theater had no visuals, but they used sound desing to elevate the medium. Books have no audio nor visuals, so they focus on delivering a great story with great dialogue.
Every medium has its strengths and weaknesses and every work within those mediums should focus on them. If there's ever a movie that is 5hs long with an amazing story and superb dialogue.... then it should've been a book.
My point is that it's ok not to like it. But the idea that a movie should have "good dialogue" is a bit misunderstanding what movies are and what the medium is. You can have a good movie with little to no dialogue or a very very basic story.
