Blade Runner for me. Great themes, great plot, great visuals and music, horrendously boring and plodding. 2049 was better imo.

I've always been curious about Citizen Kane. I haven't seen it. Is it boring too?
As with everything, it all depends on what you find boring.
There's no action in Citizen Kane. There's a small mystery who's answer you may have seen in other media without knowing. Mostly it is a biography about a fictional character, complete with interviews with friends and enemies of said character (the titular Kane). You only actually get to see and know the character through flashbacks.
It should be noted that the character is actually based partly on a real person.

Lord of the Rings
Books, sure. The books are dense as all fuck, and I get that a lot of people aren't interested in things like the ancestry of a tree.
Movies, though, are way more efficient with the storytelling. Especially the theatrical version, despite how much is missed out compared to the extended.

One wasn’t too… punchy. That’s why Two is a fan favorite. I like One for the world building and the character and story development. Plus, holy hell, the final rise to power stuff is always soooo satisfying. I loved how Modern Family riffed off it.
All of the new Star Wars movies/tv shows.

The first half of one battle after another.
....2nd half was ok.

Harry Potter 6 for me. I could not get through this movie. I tried it about 5 times so far. Same with the book. I tried reading it at least 10 times including listening to it as an audiobook.
It's just insufferable.
(And don't worry, Rowling-haters, I of course pirated it except of the copy of the book that I got when I was a kid)

I forced myself to watch gone with the Wind all the way through. It was 2 VHS tapes like 2 hours each. The only payoff was the final line when he says, “Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn!”
It was a tough watch but I’m glad I did it.
