Unrelated but necessary

The following movies I could care less

Alien, godfather pt1-2, lord of the rings 1,2,3, gone with the wind,blade runner,moon, Solaris and top gun

Over-rated

Sacred cows of film that stand behind either "I loved the book","I loved the old version" or "it's so old you have to realize they didn't have CGI"

Rhett Butler and Ashley were the only characters I actually cared about in GWTW. Solaris was only good for the ordeal of the story and not for the actual moral dilemmas proposed...

Godfather 1/2 were a victim of over inflated nostalgia and pop-culture. Blade runner was the first and therefor "the best"

Moon was rehashed of so many similar short stories and films before it. top gun was just another Tom cruise film like a mark walberg film might some day become in 20 years.

Alien was too flawed for the sake of plot, the "it's just a movie" excuse can often be the cover for bad writing.

Lord of the rings was fun to look at, too whimsical for me and detaching. I get it, it's an allegory for WWI and isolationism.
