Gone With The Wind
Eternal Sunshine if a Spotless Mind has such good reviews and people speak fondly of it online. I hated it, just thought both characters were insufferable, and there was nothing remotely romantic about it. Felt like I was trapped in the bad relationship with them.

If The Sopranos was boring, what you’d get is The Godfather. It’s boring. And it insists upon itself.
I kinda liked your comment, but it insists upon itself.
- Closest I've come to walking out of the theatre. So disappointing after the great short, which they took and just animeified
Do you mean the number 9 movie about the cloth dolls? I love that one lol...
Me too :D
Yup.
Can it be a director?
The dark Knight is the only good Nolan movie. And Heath carried all of the weight
Hmm, I sort of agree about Ledger. I rewatch Inception, Interstellar, and The Prestige regularly though. The IMAX shots in Interstellar are amazing in 4k HDR and I do enjoy the plot for the other two.

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.
BladeRunner - is like they wrote the screenplay based on the excellent source novel, then cut most of the ideas out, leaving only things that make no sense. Rick Deckard is a terrible detective, and only wins the final confrontation because Roy Batty... just gives up? I recently decided that my teenage self might have been wrong and rewatched it... nah, still terrible.
The directors cut/final cut does improve the plot line but admittedly the original movie is more vibes than substance. I think a lot of the "neo-tokyo" cyberpunk aesthetic we take for granted had tropes which originated in this film.

I’m gonna give the opposite answer than you want. I feel like most movies recently are like that but some I had to get into the right mood to enjoy them. The first time I watched the new top gun I thought it was garbage propaganda then I gotta into jet sims and think it’s an awesome movie. Same with mad max fury road, thought it was trash until I watched 1-3 then 4-5.
