Well, not all movies can be for all!
According to the folks in the comments of this BuzzFeed quiz and this Reddit thread, these iconic movies are actually boring and I kinda agree with most of them.
Some movies gained notoriety for their cast or the director. Or maybe critics just loved the film for some mysterious reason. However, these "iconic" movies are really just... boring.

"I tried watching Pulp Fiction several times. Every single time I fell asleep within the first half-hour" — purplepaperplane.

4. Avatar

"The fact that so many of y'all say Avatar isn't boring is so baffling to me. That movie felt like it was 12 hours long. For me, it was just absolutely boring and the only parts I remember were the parts I thought were wildly stupid."— Nisha M
5. Forrest Gump

"Sorry but I truly don’t get the hype w Forrest Gump... truly one of the most boring movies I have ever seen but I mean okay." — Sab
6. The Pirates of the Caribbean Franchise

"I know it is super popular but I think that the Pirates movies are so boring. Maybe because I’m not really a Johnny Depp fan?" — disneygirl13
7. The Shining
Warner Bros. Pictures / Alamy
"As a huge fan of horror that will openly admit that I fell asleep like 4 times during my first watch of The Shining, yes, it is boring" — logana44da5858b
8. Lord Of The Rings

9. Boyhood

"Boyhood, I remember reading about the movie and how long it took/using the same actors/blah blah blah, and I just couldn't bring myself to like them during the movie, It bored the shit out of me from start to finish." — u/Jordy87Nelson
10. The Harry Potter Franchise
Warner Bros. Pictures / Alamy
"I'm a huge fan of the books, I have been since I was 12 and I'm in my 30s now but the movies were just always kind of meh to me. They don't have the same magic the books do." — annabanana8000
11. Eat Pray Love
Plan B Entertainment / Columbia Pictures / Alamy
"Eat Pray Love was dull as dirt. One of very few movies that I didn't bother to finish." — u/zyd_the_lizard
12. Suicide Squad
Warner Bros. Pictures / Alamy
13. 2001: A Space Odyssey
MGM / Alamy
"Yes, I know it's a masterpiece, but for me, it was boring as hell. There was some great cinematography, but Kubrick lingers on some shots way too long. Like I get it, stuff floats in space. Sometimes I think he just fell asleep and no one woke him to shout cut " — u/rattatally
14. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Warner Bros. Pictures / Paramount Pictures / Alamy
"The most curious thing is how I could read the short story quicker than the movie's runtime." — u/southson
15. Dunkirk
Warner Bros. Pictures / Alamy
Personally, I loved the movie but Redditor u/GoldPisseR says, "Dunkirk had me looking at the watch quite a few times. The movie is shot beautifully but the dialogues felt too mechanical and rehearsed and I didn't give a shit about what happened to anyone. And goddamn that ticking background score, they were trying really hard to make you feel the intensity."
