For me the biggest one is Sátántangó. I'm going to be perfectly honest, I can't pretend to be interested in it. It's not just the runtime, but the type of film it seems to be as well. A whole movie filled with slow scenes encompassed in long takes? This is sending off huge alarm bells.
In second place is Shoah. Now this movie I actually want to see for reasons other than obligation. World War II and the Holocaust have been covered many times, but this seems like a fascinating and involving coverage of it. The runtime is still a hindrance however, since I often like to see things in one sitting which wouldn't be an easy accomplishment here. Some day though...

Shoah is fascinating.
I put off watching Jeanne Dielmann for a long time, but mostly because I knew I would want to watch that one all in one interrupted sitting, and it's not always easy to find 4 consecutive hours in any day to devote to movie watching.
Fanny and Alexander, I kind of like Bergman, but for a reason I always push back watching this absolute classic. Probably the biggest film I've never seen.
Deliverance, Midnight Express and Salo. I expect them to be kinda tough to watch.
