I guess I can convince myself by rewatching if it actually is good, but:
Cabin in the Woods.
Tap for spoiler
I understand they were going for meta-horror, but it was so in your face, so mediocre, so shallow.
Scream series is far better meta horror imo.

Here are a few I could just never get into.
Brazil, Godfather, Fight Club, Wizard of Oz, and Gone With The Wind
All the Presidents Men. I can see why its a classic, but every time I try to sit down and watch it, i wake up at the end with the typewriter going.
How about one that will actually piss people off: The Shawshank Redemption
The princess Bride post is much more effective

"There Will be Blood" was one of the most drab, boring, washed out, and damn near unwatchable movies of all time, yet everyone claims it's a masterpiece. It's just a story of a man becoming richer than god, and going off the deep-end, culminating in a scene where his adopted kid tells him how much they hate him, and him murdering someone in a misguided fit of rage. None of the characters are relatable, redeeming or interesting. The script has like a grand total of 1000 words across the entire 2.5 hour run time, and none of it is particularly compelling. What a snooze fest.
