Moss Mabry: Come get it, Nilsson.
He probably did.
No jacket? Pfft.

A thread which proves that there is someone who will always dislike something many others like.
Profound statement.
Life is beautiful
The Sergio Leone Trilogy
Schindler's list
Touch of Evil
Twelve Monkeys

Life Is Beautiful is NOT a classic.
Blade Runner. Such a boring movie.
Wasn't that by design though? The Architect had to create believable worlds for the dreamer to dream in, to avoid him realising that he was in a dream. This allowed them to plant ideas to his subconscious or something.
In case you haven't seen it, watch the final cut. Explains everything logically and has the best possible ending.
I couldn't sit through it. It's too 80s dystopian for me to bear.
My friend had the same problem with 2001 Space Odyssey but I thought that was a brilliant movie. He and I have differing opinions on both movies.
Airplane is shit. 90 minutes of Dad jokes.
Ahhh come on, how can lines like "I like my coffee black... like my men" from an 8 year old girl not make you laugh?
Mullholland Drive - Everyone admit they only like it because of the fantastic lesbo scene.
Naww
Would've been better as the TV show Lynch initially envisaged.
Lord of the Rings... they're entertaining movies but I didn't know there was that many people out there that are so in to that sort of thing i.e. geeky as feck, med-evil style warrior movies.
I never get the hype for films set in Roman times either, besides maybe 300 because it's just pure action.

And it's set in Greece. 
The Fisher King - absolute bollocks I'm shocked I actually got to the end of it - one of the worst movies I've seen
The same for Moulin Rouge - people kept on about McGregors singing - it was as pants as the rest of it (Ewan McGreggor's overated imo)
Agree that Fargo was thoroughly overated
Sleepy Hollow - we lasted 45 minutes and the abysmal acting from the girl (whats her name Nina Ricci I think) actor was so irritating we left - the missus was dragging me out !
Dead Poets Society - I love some of Williams stuff but that no thanks
Yep the English Patient too
Face Off and Gone in 60 seconds - two Cage movies that should have ended after 60 secs
Naked Lunch - dire
The latter Alien movies - complete bunkum - as were the latter Jaws films although fking hilarious they were so poor
God when you think about it there are some diabolical crimes against celluloid about are'nt there ?
Agreed, that film is fecking shite....don't understand all the love it gets.

Lester meet Stick....feck off you donkey....up there as one of the best films/westerns ever made.

I liked Face-Off, but I thought the idea was it was enjoyable because it was shite. I mean, it's got Nicholas Cage in it, having to act like Nicholas Cage, not acting like Nicholas Cage. Why would you watch it other than to laugh at it?
Godfather isn't my type of film but I can appreciate why people love it. However, I have no idea why people rave about Inception, The Departed and 12 Years A Slave.
Forrest Gump.
Pulp Fiction was a massive let down, perhaps considering how highly it's regarded but I just didn't think it was great. I thought Django Unchained was a pretty terrible film if I'm honest, though the hype for that one seemed to die down after the initial jizzfest.
Perhaps not a classic, but I see so many people regard Anchorman as one of the funniest films ever, and I literally do not get it. The humour must go right over my head.

With Will Ferrell the humour most likely is far below your head not over it.
Aliens. Loved the first one but the second is just like watching a shoot 'em up video game and yet it's almost more critically acclaimed.

Thankfully some movies you mentioned while liked by some people are not considered classics, most of the later Alien movies, the later Jaws movies, Face Off and Gone in 60 seconds, Sleepy Hollow, Moulin Rouge, for example not sure I have ever seen anyone call them classics. There are people who quite enjoyed them, but classics? nah.
Planet of the Apes, I refuse to watch them, I wouldn't be able to deal with talking monkeys throughout an entire movie. The trailer is enough for me to live life happily not seeing any of them.
EDIT: To top it off in one of the trailers the monkeys were dressed and acting like Police officers, who watches this shit?

The matrix
any James Bond (and Sky Fall the most)
Brief Encounter (what a snore-fest, the first chick flick?)
Any of the Lord of the Rings films (I hated the books too)

I thnk Alien initially suffered in terms of critics response to it because so many of them were expecting something along the line of the cleaner, shall I say happier or lighter Star Wars, ET or Close Encounters of the Third Kind. I forget if it was Siskel or Ebert who initially did not like Alien but later would include it in his best pictures of all time list. It was also noteable as one of the first Sci-Fi movies to feature a strong female leading role.
Aliens got good reviews but to me it always seemed the reviewers just judged it as an action shoot em up, blow em up movie. Looking back at some reviews, they seem to mention the action, etc more than any reference to characters, plot, etc.
How about the original King Kong, how do people feel about it? Even with the out of date acting styles, old stop motion special effects , I still really enjoy watching that movie.
If only Michael Bay had made it instead.
Alien and Aliens are 2 very different movies and both great in their win way. The first as Sci Fi horror and the second as Sci Fi action.
Terrible plot, terrible hammy acting from both of the leads and just so badly made it is amazing. One of the worst mainstream films ever made.
Pulp Fiction is a brilliantly made film, but has no heart or soul within it, pawning other people's films and using them as his own.... that's why he's so popular. But he has no soul in his films; no heart.
And don't get me started on Django..... really... I could go on and on about how shi$e that film is.

La Haine - It's years since I've seen it but I remember it annoying me that it wasn't better than it was.
Ha, I like that.
Ha, I like that.
I think the parameters of what makes a film a classic should've probably been cleared up in the OP as most of the films I've seen mentioned are far from what I'd call a classic
Gone with the Wind is the best example of a 'classic' film that I never enjoyed
