I just can't get into The Big Lebowski. I've tried several times and can never seem to finish it.
For TV, it's Seinfeld. I don't find it funny at all.

It really depends on the movie, but I think most movies that people see as "universally loved" are children's movies, and the people who love them the most are those who watched them when they were kids. Sometimes, they're not very good if you see them outside of their intended demographic.
On top of that, everybody has their own tastes. I know a person who doesn't like Shawshank Redemption because she feels uncomfortable with enclosed spaces. And I'm personally not fond of movies with people who act like gangsters, so I've never felt particularly affectionate towards Godfather movies.

This is me with any movie starring Will Farrell, but especially Talladega Nights. He can be good in supporting roles (Zoolander springs to mind), but all the movies he leads just don't land with me.
Out of all the Will Farrell movies you could have picked you went and used the best one as your example?

Breakfast Club
multiple hours of horrible teenagers and some horrible adults learning no valuable lessons and their actions being glorified
also the two love interest characters fall for each other despite having zero chemistry, cuz fuck you can't have a teen movie without a romance i guess

For me, Star Wars and Lord of the Ring (the books, as well.)
The best part? I publish SF and fantasy for a living.

Interstellar for me. Great soundtrack though.
The groan I emitted in-theatre at the "but what about the power of love?" line is brought up whenever this movie is mentioned among the group with whom I watched it

It's soooooooo boring. I've suffered through it twice and both times I was completely checked out waiting for the movie to end to go do something else with my friends.
To make things worse, I work in the aerospace industry on spacecraft so this movie regularly comes up in conversations and inevitably I end up having to explain how I did not like it

I was a huge Star Wars fan before Disney took over, and haven't liked anything they've done with it. Most people agree, with 2 exceptions: Andor, which I admittedly haven't watched yet, and...Rogue One
I don't think Rogue One is much better than the other Disney Star Wars drivel, but I'm apparently the only person in the universe who thinks that. I've watched it three times and just don't get why people think it's good.

The Godfather. Despite several attempts I've never made it through, it just can't hold my attention.
