I don't hate it, but I can't understand the wider appeal of it, Nightmare Before Christmas. I don't understand why people think the Jack and Sally relationship is so great. She pines away and he's to self absorbed to even notice that she is a girl. And there are people who to this day still make it their entire personality. It is a decent movie, and I like the music, but it's not that great.

I haven't seen anyone saying they think Jack and Sally have a good relationship other than just enjoying the general aesthetics of it.

Oh it's worse. I read the book and it was very sad. And the movie was clearly changed from the book for sake of IP laws, reminding us of how sorry our own dystopia is.
It really needed an Oh Brother Where Art Thou ending where Wade and the gang fail to win but get well-off enough from their exploits and are seen by the public as leaders of the revolution against IOI's monopoly, and the capitalist system as a whole.
One of IOI's sixes gets the final key but when he signs the contract, it locks him out. The OASIS controlling stock remains in escrow pending ?????? with IOI as the default benefactor when... something future undisclosed event happens.
Which would set it all up for RP2.
It's one of those books like the Harry Potter series in which it feels more like it was intended to be easy-to-market, but is not very strong as a story.

Boooooooring
I really enjoyed them because I really enjoyed the books as a child.
A combination of nostalgia and a great portrayal of a very familiar story.
Having said that, I certainly appreciate that they're actually crap for everyone else: and that's perfectly fine.
No movie makes everyone happy, that's probably for the best.

Twister.
The movie is like a big turkey dinner meal and Ambien to me. I have fell asleep trying to watch it at least 3x... now I own the movie and if I am super restless I will put it on to sleep.

Mrs. Doubtfire. I simply find the plot to be too contrived and ridiculous to get pulled into the story. Yes, I get that the movie is supposed to be a comedy. It does have a funny moment or two, but overall I find the comedy more cringe than actually humorous.

I honestly can't stand the vast majority of popular movies. They also keep getting longer and longer, and I already struggle to sit through an hour and a half long movie
The princess bride, mostly because everyone my age won't shut up about it. By the time I saw the movie (I think I was 16?) it was like watching a string of cheesy memes.
Also, it's a wonderful life is so frustrating and depressing, the "happy ending" just doesn't cut it.
