Not a complete list of every popular movie I'm not really into, but it's a start. Thought I'd focus on ones from the '80s and '90s. These are movies that are beloved by loyal fanbases, but that I just don't care for myself. And it might seem mean-spirited to single them out, but I view it anthropologically - what might these movies have in common that made me indifferent to/hostile toward them? Me, with the pretty normal tastes, a love for popcorn fare, fan of most of these stars and filmmakers, me who was growing up when all these came out and should theoretically be a big fan.

I dunno, but I don't like a single one of these. They're not good. I have a bit of respect for "The Karate Kid" as a decently made movie I guess (watched it several times as a kid, and probably used to like it before I aged into double digits), and will admit I haven't seen several of these in a long, long, long time, so maybe I'd change my mind on a re-watch. But I really don't want to see any of them ever again.
That's it. Just felt like making a jerk list.
