It's like knowing the ending of Seven or The Usual Suspects. Yeah they're well made movies, but the final reveal is what makes them legendary.
Very much agree w/this.
For example, if I had known the ending of The Game going in there is no way I would have liked it as much as I did b/c all of the suspense would have been gone.
As for a "good" movies I hate... I really don't understand this board's love for Prometheus and Alien Covenant. Other than some really great looking CG in certain parts I thought both were terrible and had some of the most idiotic characters in Sci Fi I have ever seen.

I pretty much view anyone that doesn't like Seinfeld as a retard. Beneath me, certainly.

This is a movie I understand people not liking, but I have come to the conclusion that people who don’t haven’t experienced what the main character did. The first time I watched this movie, I saw it as a bunch of pretentious bullshite and awful.
Then a few years later when I was living in China and honestly a bit depressed from the isolation despite being in the most crowded and orderly chaotic place in the world, I rewatched it, and it instantly became a Top 10 for me (still is or at worst in the Top 15). It rang absolutely true and helped me cope with the environment. It is a masterpiece as far as I’m concerned, but I can understand why people don’t like it.

Wind River is terrible. Olsen was a terrible choice for that role. And there are several cringe worthy scenes that are so ridiculous.

2001: A Space Odyssey.
There's a single page of dialogue in a 3 hour movie. Maybe it was groundbreaking at the time, but I just cannot get into it. There's so much nothing.

I will say that hate is too strong a word for me on any movie. I don't get the love for some movies but I don't necessarily hate many movies unless they are just heinous.
1. Pulp Fiction. Never cared for it but I have never been a big Tarentino fan in general. i liked the Kill Bills, Jackie Brown and I liked a few movies he wrote.
2. Crash is a big one. I never liked it but I hate Terrance Howard which brings me to...
3. Hustle and Flow. This one is one I hated.
4. Frozen. I know it misses the mark amongst adults but I didn't understand the obsession with this one. There are much better animated Disney movies.

Hurt Locker is the correct answer. I like Renner a lot but jeez that movie ranks up there with bad movies.

I hate Grease. The movie..the music...the whole damn thing.

So true
My wife & I watched it for the 1st time ever this past year. We didn't know ending, and we were very entertained. For such an old flick, it delivers...

I would agree you need to have done some traveling overseas or at least been a fish out of water sometime, somewhere.
It's a subtle movie. So I can understand if people find it pretentious or boring. That's valid.
It's the little things that make it work. And Sofia makes good movies.
And this helps while watching it:

Mad Max: Fury Road bored the shite out of me, but I hate car chases, so that makes sense.
I thought the LotR movies were boring as hell, too. That trilogy was one of my all-time favorites as a kid, but the movies just never grabbed me like the books did.

Love No Country for Old Men.
From the same year, I don't get the infatuation most guys on here have with There Will Be Blood. Yea, DDL plays a great, greedy, mean, SOB, but the story is too depressing for me. Not one good thing happens in that movie. Paul Dano's preacher character is less likeable than Plainview. I've watched it at least three times, trying to catch what is so great about it. During each viewing, by the time it got to the bowling alley scene, I'd lost interest.
Don't outright hate the movie, just don't understand the love it gets here.

A lot of ones mentioned so far on my list
Apocalypse Now
Wolf of Wall Street
Django Unchained
Ladybird
There Will Be Blood
The Deer Hunter
Moonrise Kingdom

And I know this one maybe isn't viewed as a "good movie", but it's my least favorite movie of all time, so I feel like I need to mention it:
Synecdoche , New York
Apocalypse Now
Wolf of Wall Street
Django Unchained
Ladybird
There Will Be Blood
The Deer Hunter
Moonrise Kingdom
every Harry Potter movie

Why does something good have to happen for it to be a good movie? Some movies are meant to be negative/depressing

Wolf of Wall Street. Never even made it to the end.
Mad Max. Both the original and Fury Road.
