finally got around to reading all of this second topic! I've seen 71 of them so... I've just decided to comment on every single one of those and tier em too

Didn't like at all:

241. A Streetcar Named Desire (1951)
Over-acted, uninteresting story about unlikable people.

212. Animal House (1978)
Mean-spirited and not funny.

98. Vertigo (1958)
I just didn't get it.

58. The 400 Blows (1959)
Legitimate claim to my least favorite movie of all time. Can't think of a single instant of the movie I enjoyed.

24. Raging Bull (1980)
Seriously, I don't understand what's supposed to be good about this movie. "Insecure, violent man is very insecure about his girlfriend and his brother." I've tried reading reviews, but... I just don't get it. Not remotely interested in rewatching it.

75. On the Waterfront (1954)
Couldn't believe how unenjoyable this was. I knew almost nothing about it other than the lead actor, the Best Picture win, that he was a retired boxer, and the famous monologue at the end. None of these delivered.

OK, but wouldn't really make a list for me:

246. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)
Low tier Disney when compared to even the 70s stuff (or Pinocchio just a few years later, for that matter!)

215. Princess Mononoke (1997)
Not really a 'fun' movie, which is often what I want from animation.

172. Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971)
Preferred the book I think. Too much camp creepiness.

146. Some Like It Hot (1959)
I thought it was funny, but didn't particularly see it as "great." No single joke made me laugh super-hard from what I remember, possibly because of the hammy way that actors seemed to talk in older films.

141. Hugo (2011)
The style of this was better than the substance. Visually beautiful, but once the mystery is revealed in the second act, the plot isn't as fun as it seems early.

92. Office Space (1999)
I remember a few scenes early on being funny - the rush hour traffic, the cubicle frustration - but the meanness of the actual revenge didn't strike me as funny. Maybe a rewatch would elevate it, though.
