Lord of the Rings
Star Wars

Agree with the OP on Godfather, Blazing Saddles. Couldn't get into them. We may disagree in that I like TDK and you don't, but I believe BB was easily the best of the Nolan trilogy.

Films I don't care for that most seem to like:

Raising Arizona
12 Monkeys
There Will Be Blood
Edward Scissorhands
Blade Runner
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
2001: A Space Odyssey

100% agree about Batman Begins
100% agree on everything else on your list except There Will Be Blood. (you have to see it more than once)

Lord of the Rings I agree with. I think there are plenty of people who don't really like Star Wars.

I sorta like Donnie Darko and yet I agree with you 100%. I did like the first Bourne movie - Bourne Identity though there were some elements of it that got a bit tiresome, none of it had to do with Damon's character. I did not like any of the Bourne Sequels.

I also agree with and want to thank those who mentioned the following:

The Exorcist
Raging Bull

both are very boring.

also, One Flew Over the Cookoo's Nest I havn't seen, but I can feel it in my bones that I would find it overrated.

300. "Tonight, we dine in so much mindless violence, it's boring!"

while I'm on the subject, I never understood what was so great about the first Die Hard movie or Lethal Weapon.

everybody in the audience cheered jane and her lover and thought the viet vet husband was a jerk.
