Movies that BLOW YOUR MIND when someone says they don't like them

I've seen several topics elsewhere on the internet with titles such as "Worst movie you've been dragged to" or "Worst movie you've ever seen" and several times I've seen people say "Children of Men." I just don't understand how someone can not like that movie. It' has great performances, is extremely well directed, has great action and it's just straight up intense. I just can't imagine being bored by it.
 
What say you?

I'm more blown away when they say "It's shit and everyone is wrong for liking this movie!!!" more than anything.

You know, this is a website... about video games, and having this put in general discussion kind of defeats the purpose. This either goes in off topic, or Screened.com exists for all your movie discussion needs.

The Godfather One or Two. Three? I understand.

The Godfather series (1 and 2 atleast, I'm not sure what to think of 3). But ofcourse the people who do that are the same ones who say ''These movies are bad because I I want to be special and independant of everyone else.''

I can't believe there are people who don't like Forrest Gump.

I'm immediately saddened and made suicidal when people tell me they don't like The Room. 
 
Ha ha, just kidding. The Big Lebowski.

I was pretty blown away by the number of people who saw Inception and said they hated it because they couldn't understand it.

All my friends hate The Matrix, the original one. Needless to say they are now frenemies.

idk, just getting back from it, if anybody says that they didn't like Machete, I will punch them in the face.

The lass I work with said that the first Matrix movie was stupid and confusing. She couldn't follow what was going on at all, and when I tried to explain it to her she thought the whole idea was preposterous. I suggested she only rent things like An Inconvenient Truth from now on if that's the level of imagination she's comfortable with. 
 
I also had to literally draw a diagram while explaining the whole thing to her:

" All my friends hate The Matrix, the original one. Needless to say they are now frenemies. "

" I can't believe there are people who don't like Forrest Gump. "

" There Will Be Blood I have a friend who refuses to watch it because he said it looks boring from the trailer, and I can't even explain to him the cinematic awesomesauce that he's missing out on. "

Children of Men is a masterpiece.  The single-shot camera work alone is accolades enough, creates some of the most intense atmosphere/action I've ever seen in a movie.

They're still alive? You have failed us. "

The Naked Gun and Hot Shots series of movies.  I know a lot of people aren't into slapstick spoof comedy, but it stops me short every time someone says they don't like 'em.

Children of Men is fucking great. So many long, uncut scenes.

Saving Private Ryan and The Hangover

Fight Club. I had one person tell me it was mediocre. Man, fuck him, that's the greatest movie ever made.

Heh, I can imagine, "I saw inception... it was stupid and confusing, It's not realistic uuuuhhhhh..."  
 
Some people just can't open their minds to things outside of their perspective, What we should learn from this is that some people will miss out and that is their choice, At the end of the day, I ain't going to lose sleep if someone I know can't appreciate something, it's their loss.

"life's like a box of chocolates...you never know what your gonna get."   on topic district 9. i love that film, and i feel like people who don't like it can't get past the fact it's a metaphor for racism. albeit a thinly veiled metaphor, but you can still go through the movie without that coming up. you can easily just enjoy the film for being a film. "

"    It's not realistic uuuuhhhhh..."                                             "

" The Godfather One or Two. Three? I understand. "

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Even if you hate westerns, you have to enjoy this movie or at least appreciate what it does. Cinematic perfection and hasn't been matched in over 40 years. I can think a few others that would shock me if someone said they didn't like them but nothing would come as close as The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

About video games? "

Back to the Future.

Fight Club

People who say the Tim Burton Batman movies are superior than the Nolan ones. >_<

The Lord of the Ring's Trilogy. I love all three of these movies, but I often meet people who have no desire to see them or claim they are too boring and long. I just don't understand how someone could have no desire to see all of the movies. I know the movies are long but that's what makes them so epic! I also think it's incredibly stupid when people write the movies off because of the fantasy elements. I mean c'mon people have a little imagination, real life is so fucking boring. Why do people only want to watch movies about things that actually exist, pfft that's boring.

Harry Potter. 
 
Especially 3 and on.

" Harry Potter.  Especially 3 and on. "

If someone ever told me they didn't like The Shawshank Redemption, I would have to have a serious talk with them.

the movies aren't that great?  the books are pretty awesome (maybe not the 5th because he gets to angsty) but the movies... eh "

An airtight case you've put forward. Not even the long tracking shot through the firefight in the street and into the building is worthy of praise? "

The original Star Wars trilogy. I've met a handful of people who either didn't like them or had no interest in seeing them. I don't understand it. Arguably the best film trilogy of all time and you have no interest in seeing it?
