By that I mean, it hits all the notes, it checks all the boxes. It's a great movie regardless of your personal tastes.

Lawrence of Arabia is probably the closest for me. Even if you're not into war, the desert, gay men on horseback, it's an objectively great movie.

Any others?

I think that is a great example. The acting, story line, sound track, and most importantly, the cinematography are all top notch.

I could see someone not being interested in the subject matter, however I can't see knocking any of the actual components of the film.

No, because what makes a movie 'great' is itself subjective.
