I didn't really like The Godfather 1 and 2, never saw 3.

Same with Apocalypse Now.

Also Sicario.

I don't like the colors, the music and I wasn't really into the story, it actually kinda bums me out when I try to watch it.

Indiana Jones and Ark of the Covenant
Star Wars original trilogy
2001 a Space Odyssey
Harry Potter films
Toy Story

I don't think any of these are bad (except Harry Potter films) but nowhere near the on par with the level of praise they get.

The first time I watched Starwars I was 7 and I was extremely into it but after watching the films again when I was older they didn't seem so great.

I don't think I have fully watched any of the OT of Star Wars, mostly bits and pieces here and there so I basically got the whole shabang down anyways.

Granted, some of these I watched just once, and many years ago. There's a chance I might like some of them today.

L'Atalante
Rio Bravo (Hawks is a great director but I can't understand why this is considered one of his best, let alone one of the best westerns of all time)
The Matrix
Amelie

Some from recent years:
Every Marvel movie besides both Guardians of the Galaxy and the first Iron Man
Jackie (besides the music, which is one of the best original scores of all time lowkey)
The Revenant
Beasts of No Nation
Hidden Figures

I remember watching 2001: a space odyssey for the first time by myself and it blowing my fucking mind so hard, then finding out it was made in 1968 and I just shit myself at the fact that still to this day it has the best space special effects I have ever seen. I loved every second of it.

This, although most of the acclaim was just for the special effects.

Agreed.

Disagreed. Honestly, out of the whole franchise I only really like the first although the special effects in T2 were great.

Oh, I never got all of the buzz for Scream. It was praised for being smart and genre-savvy because it was tongue-in-cheek, but most slashers are very tongue-in-cheek albeit a bit more subtle. Other than discussing the tropes, it did things commonly found in other slashers. Then again, it's not that I dislike Scream or its sequels, I just find them absurdly overrated. They're still really fun films.

The Lego Movie, I don't think I laughed at all.

I bet if I took the time to sit down and watch 2001 I would probably agree with everyone else but alas, I only made it a half hour in before I got bored and turned it off.

Dark Knight also. If Batman is stealthy, why is he driving a tank in the street?

The Hobbit movies, crunchy tiger hiding dragon, all Mission Impossibles, 99% of all musicals, all 007 movies (except License to Kill for some reason), Matrix sequels, and damn sure there's more.

1) Literally revealed in Begins.

2) It's no more conspicuous than the Batmobile in any other continuity.

3) It's a lot more than just a tank.

It won 7 Academy Awards and you're asking if it was critically acclaimed? =p

I don't follow any awards shows closely at all so I was taking a shot in the dark since I've heard people say good things about it.

I'll add Avatar while I'm at it.

It makes more sense when you understand the history behind it. Citizen Kane was a landmark in terms of film-making. It established (though not necessarily invented) a lot of the conventions used to this day.

It also had something to do about a rich man at the time that got away with murder using his wealth and influence. Which the wealthy man used to stop the movie from being successful when it first came out.
