I'll go first. Mine is that I can't stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It's like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

My favorite Mad Max film is Thunderdome.

Thunderdome is fun. But ranking it above fury road is a choice

Every James Bond movie with Daniel Craig is crap; even Die Another Day was better.

Mine is that all of the Matrix films are very overrated.

I liked the first one. Got super bored with the second. Never watched the third. I feel like the first one should have been the only one. It was a fine stand alone film.

Warren Beaty and Faye Dunaway did the right thing announcing La La Land as the best picture.

I like a lot of the campy horror movies that typically have 5 or below on IMDb. One of my favorites is Sorry About the Demon (2022) on Shudder/AMC+, which currently has a 4.9 rating.

I might just need to rewatch it because it's been 15 years, but I didn't care much for Citizen Kane.

This is true for most "important films". They were the first to do something well enough that the entire industry latched onto it, but their stories and presentation don't stand well against the test of time. 2001 and Casablanca also fall into this.

I hate Deadpool because it got to use thunderstruck by ac/dc rather than the bridge scene in Thor Ragnarok where it would've been equally badass, and much better than a third iteration of Zeppelins immigrant song.
