The Godfather is meh at best and the acting is melodramatic and overplayed.

Horror movies are unfairly judged because most people who do not like horror movies watch them for the wrong reasons.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the original) was a terrible film. The only reason people say it is the greatest classic horror film is because of nostalgia. The acting was horrible and it wasn't scary in the slightest (I understand it was probably for the time).

Nature documentaries are the best
Shrek 2 is mid as fuck and the cover of I Need a Hero was its only saving grace. I really don't get why people ham it up as one of the best films of all time.
Inception is one of the worst executions of an interesting idea. My imagination can imagine anything. Hollywood's? Well I guess you imagined too hard so now there's people with guns. Oh and this applies to everyone.

I don't like the lord of the rings series.
It's not bad bad but with that budget, actors etc it could have been so much better :-/
The hobbit: kind of the same feeling.
Upvoted for actual unpopular opinion.

If Pulp Fiction is on, unless it's been a few years I'll probably switch the channel, if Django Unchained is on though...I'm grabbing a snack and watching it everytime. This isn't to say Pulp Fiction sucks, just think Django's more entertaining.

There's nothing great about Studio Ghibli movies, they have appreciable hand-drawn effort but that isn't what makes a movie.
All of them? No. But there are so many great things in them you can't just bury them away like Spirited away, your neighbour Totoro...
You don't like them? I understand that totally, but they are masterpieces.
Like I just hate the Bolero and think Mosart is 'meh' I guess (toccata&fugue in D minor by Bach, now that rocks!).

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