I really disliked the film Adventureland. Everyone kept telling me to watch it so I watched it with a date and we both thought it sucked.

Vertigo
Woody Allen movies in general
In general, the two most overrated actors are probably Bill Murray and Robin Williams. Bill Murray is just a high rent Chevy Chase that is treated like a national treasure for some reason and I don’t like Robin Williams shtick. This extends to their ‘serious’ films. 95% of the time when you get a comedian doing a serious role they get huge amounts of praise for a mediocre at best performance.
If there is a single movie it would have to be Ben Hur. A snore fest justified by having a huge budget and nice sets.

You forgot the intentional homoerotic subtext.
Gonna be honest, I can’t recall any homoerotic subtext. My brain checked out completely somewhere around the 10th minute of watching 2 characters we should care about and 8 randoms whipping horses.

All of these old films seem so boring and overrated when I watch them after having only seen more recent films influenced by them.
A lot of Hitchcock's films stand up today
Psycho for sure.
The Birds threw me for a loop because it’s really just a really long love story, with like 30 minutes of bird squawking at the end. I still liked the movie but I had to call my mom and press her on why she was terrified when she first saw it lol

Apocalypse Now
I've seen a future where the Taylor Swift movie Showgirl Life is just hot garbage, made like 40 trillion tho...
robocop batman 2: showgirls tho
Dune is an offence to the media. The only movie that put me to sleep in 3 seperate attempts to honestly watch it. With the 1st being the in theater with the mindset of "ok what's all this hype about?" And I liked the new Bladr Runner this director has chops. No I wasn't expecting Star Wars but....something of a universe.
Devoid of charecter, life, color, a universe that seemed lived in. Empty sets. Horrific acting on a scale that makes 
seem like an oscar winning dramatic performance.
Overhyped by 
cultists, Zendelamain ogglers (which I also didn't care for) and paper sadists that get off on page count over all else.
On top of all the emptiness and lack of life and empty set pieces and any sense of immersiveness like they forgot to hire prop people, the blasted thing gets awards for cinematography? I submitted a picture of actual dried paint and people took it seriously as art of the film. What the Nobel prize is this?

The Matrix
Isn't that the movie about a guy who takes a red pill and becomes a men's rights activist

I'd go with The Godfather as well, I'm more of a Casino guy I guess.
Silence of the Lambs and Matrix are both good though.
2001: A Space Odyssey.
It's Absolutely Incredible in a lot of ways, but is incredibly disjointed. I don't even mind the length or slow pacing, but I can't excuse how the 2nd act has little thematic connection with anything else in the movie. And the psychedelic 3rd act is just bad. It's a good example of how a movie can be Great, but not Good.
When Harry Met Sally is garbage. The entire concept of that movie is that men and women can't be friends without wanting to have sex.
