Not a movie, but for me this is Final Fantasy XIII and XIII-2. The music, locations, voice acting and UI (visual and audio) are fantastic, while the gameplay and story were okay enough to not drag it all down. I still listen to the soundtrack and think about how smooth the menus were.
Meanwhile to the FF fandom these games are Satan shitting down your neck

I have the opposite effect, popular movies seem bad to me, for the most part.
I dont really watch movies because my attention span cannot focus on them, but all the books, all the video games, music, everything I'm into is everything that's considered bad. I try not to talk about pop culture because I'm completely ignorant about main stream stuff and I don't want to argue about why I like what I like. I hate being asked about myself because I spend most of my time with work and school and my very little free time reading, gaming and listening to music, but I don't want to talk about what I've been doing because I just don't want to defend myself or talk about why I like something. And even with some of the more popular stuff I like, I just want to enjoy it, I don't want to analyze it.
More power to you!
The Flash (2023) was a good movie, and there's nothing you can say to change my mind.
That’s your opinion and that’s fine.
I’ll just ignore any and every recommendation you make.

This happens to me a lot. I'll watch something and really enjoy it only to find out it got terrible reviews. It's really annoying because it usually means the series I like all get cancelled after a couple of seasons.
Not me, it's like my superpower. I can tell you if a movie is going to be a flop and panned by everyone within 15 seconds of watching the trailer.

Last Days on Mars was such a fun horror movie
I watched Keanu on Netflix and I came away thinking yeah that was a cool light hearted silly movie. I went and checked and the reviews and left being like yeah that movie was pretty shit.
In high school, we had a movie review section in our student newspaper. The one time I read it was because they reviewed Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. They said it was awful and Carey was boring. Haven’t taken media reviews seriously since.
My wife said Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was an incredible film, and she made me watch it with her. I remember hating every minute of it and thinking it was an awful film. But that was nearly 2 decades ago; I'm actually interested in giving it another watch and seeing if I just didn't give it a proper chance the first time.
I’ll say it’s one of my favorite movies but I’ve never wanted to rewatch it. Maybe it’s weird but it feels appropriate to preserve it as a fond memory.
