IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER:

Star Wars
The Empire Strikes Back
Inception
The Dark Knight
Avatar
Titanic
The Kings Speech
Amelie
The Artist
American Sniper

Like I think Star Wars is the one that sticks out to me, but I think the reason I don't love it is because I never grew up with it, I saw it a late teen who had already seen a ton of better Sci-Fi/Fantasy movies and it just really didn't impress me in anyway and there's nothing that sticks out to me as actually great.

that cowboy hick thing is the only thing Sam Elliot does.

oh, and add all of Nolan's Batman films to my list. Decent movies, but nothing else. The over the top hyperbole in some people's reviews of them is incredible. The only really phenomenal thing about any of them is Heath Ledger's Joker.

Comparing one's ratings with the IMDB top 250 collection seems like a good way to come up with a quick list. My lowest ratings within that list are:

Million Dollar Baby (2004): 11
V for Vendetta (2006): 14
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest: 14
Forrest Gump (1994): 14
Kill Bill: Volume 2 (2004): 18
American Beauty (1999): 19
Gladiator (2000): 20
Finding Nemo (2003): 20
Little Miss Sunshine (2006): 22
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse...: 22

1. Steve Jobs/The Iron Lady/The Imitation Game/The Theory of Everything
(Any biopic that has ever been or ever will be made cos they're all melodramatic horseshit. If I see one more frustrated genius shout in frustration and break something, I'll shout and throw my laptop across the room)
2. The Matrix (it was boring even when the special FX were new)
3. Tintin
4. The Dark Knight
5. Skyfall
6. Million Dollar Baby
7. The Kings Speech
8. Return of the King
9. V for Vendetta
10. Noah (the fact that some critics said this wasn't too bad means it was overrated)
