They both drag on for hours and move at a snails pace. I know some critics like those kind of movies, but I detest them. I'll include Lord of the Rings as a prime example.

Never watched TGTBTU. Shawshank received 7 Oscar nominations, but sadly got pummelled by Forest Gump that year.
Like I said, each to their own. Gone with the wind, is one that I find boring, and I detest comedy films like dumb and dumber, is just stupid, basically anything with Jim Carey fits that bill.
Well that's very humble and accepting of you - not. Can't write what I really think, not because you don't like those films that's your right - only because you won't accept other folks likes/dislikes.
Anyway I wanted to add, and this has sadly become a cliché, Rise of Skywalker. Truth be told, I enjoyed myself in the theatres watching the first two SW sequels, yes I agree with some of the criticisms but liked the actors, the new characters (though some were done wrong like my boy Finn) etc. I walked out of the theatre after the ROSW feeling a bit sour. Lots of small things but the biggest was the cliché of the unkillable villain "Somehow Palpatine returned". Sure we have Lex Luthor, the Joker and others but here the "evil" in Star Wars is the dark side of the force, evil intentions and acts. It's not limited to any one individual, I would go on but this will become political.

While they are pretty long films they are two of my favorites.
Oh well.
Off topic/hot take - The Beach Boys God Only Knows isn't that big of a deal. It's the single most overrated song in the world.
IMHO that is...
Mine too, we do need perhaps an overrated/worst song list too...
I would have to nominate "Yes, Giorgio" which (I guess) is a film for people who just can't get enough of Luciano Pavarotti. Only redeeming quality is the food fight scene where (IIRC) Pavarotti gets a bowl of spaghetti dumped over his head. 😆
This is sacrilege…… 😧
I am shocked anyone includes this as a ‘bad movie’.
You wouldn’t like the 4 disk dvd/Blu-ray then with literally days of behind the scenes features….. 🤪

A lot of people these days have a shorter attention span when watching tv/films, they prefer quick, short insta…nonesense.
Let’s not mention the awesome Das Boot then….
I watched the first LOTR at the theatre and I broke up with my then gf because she made me sit through the whole movie. I still have nightmares about it to this day. I think that experience started my whole phobia against any films running longer than 90 minutes.
True story: I've read the trilogy and am not that big of a fan. The Hobbit was perfect. LOTR too long and too boring.
The first two are okay but I'm with you, who cares? 2 films was enough.
Das Boot is brilliant.A lot of people these days have a shorter attention span when watching tv/films, they prefer quick, short insta…nonesense.

watch fearing and loathing in las vegas and tell me if you change your mind
Yeah, I watched both the english version and the german with subtitles. The german subtitled is better but both are really good.
Last night we watched a strong contender for worst movie I have ever watched… The Wicked Lady, 1983.
But, still it was so bad it was actually enjoyable.
I mean, Faye Dunaway at her most demented? What's not to enjoy?
But it is a godawful film. 🤣

There's a classic episode of Columbo with Faye Dunaway which is fun. Not great art, but certainly not on my "worst movies" list.

Columbo: It's All in the Game (TV Movie 1993) ⭐ 7.8 | Crime, Drama, Mystery
