What "all-time great" movies did you think were boring.

Don't we have lots of threads like this? BTW, I could ruin this thread and, Rodent? I gotcha back.

I wouldn't have the pretention to say these 2 are boring, but it took me everything to finish them

Au Hasard Balthazar and Forbidden Games

But I think I just didn't understand them

I'll probably get lynched for this but the original Rocky bored me to tears. Admittedly the fight between Rocky and Creed was pretty good but after 100 minutes of watching Stallone mumble, feed his turtles, hit on the bland pet shop lady whose name I don't remember, and punch dead cows nearly anything would be entertaining.

You apparently didn't understand Stallone's weird sense of humor since for all its attempts to get you to cheer for the underdog, Rocky is, at heart, a comedy. (It's Adrian, as in "Yo, Adrian".)

Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1972)

It's almost always in the top 5 "Best Horror Movies of All Times" but, it really isn't that great.

"A Christmas Story" .. another film that begins to bore me watching it....

Oh, The Simpsons movie was pretty awful too.

Citizen Kane is boring. Color film was used commercially in 1909, quit being such a godd*mn hipster Orson Welles!

I didn't like Citizen Kane. I just don't think it's that great.

threads like these are such charming ideas

for each post, there is likely someone reading who will be dispirited that a movie they like was mentioned

I shed a single tear when I saw that The Simpsons Movie was mentioned here

Casablanca
Sherlock Junior
Chinatown
Nashville
Close Up
Reservoir Dogs
Patlabor 2 (yes, it's considered one of the all time great movies)

Apocalypse Now was painful for me

The Thin Red Line was an absolute snoozefest for me. I'll give one big reason: the characters having internal monologues all through the movie, like, "What is war? Why is there war?" I don't know, man! You made the movie, you tell me.
