I'm the exact opposite. I struggle to get through 90% of movies regardless of how good people think they are, especially since they only keep getting longer and longer.
Hell, the only movies I can get through are the ones that are so bad they're actually interesting
Congrats, you’re sane. Most entertainment media is objectively bad. That’s just statistically undeniable. Unless you think everyone is a good writer and storyteller.

I'm exactly like that, but the other way around. 90 % of the movies I watch I don't enjoy. Mayhap it's just not my medium. Makes the 10 % I did enjoy realy worth it tough.

Somebody needs to introduce Thomas here to MST3K. There is no better teacher than experience.
You saw someone enjoying themselves and thought, "Somebody needs to fix that."?
Hey, one of my cringe memories that randomly pops up when I try to go to sleep!
"So what did you think, pretty good right?"
"Ahahah what??? No, it was shit!"
It was Wild Things, feel free to confirm that it was indeed shit.
Prime Neve Campbell and Denise Richard’s topless.
It was objectively great.
Unless, for some reason, you don’t like boobs.

To have no opinion other than gratefulness is... Concerning.
Watch both Judge Dress films to understand the difference between a good film and a bad one.
And they're both tremendously enjoyable.
This is why I hardly ever recommend movies.
My criteria pretty much boils down to "did it hold my attention" during the runtime?"
A "good" movie holds my attention An "ok" movie doesn't hold my atttention 100% A "bad" movie 'pushes' my attention away
By that metric, 2001 is an "atrocious" movie. 🥴
Did u have fun is one part of good. So is did it make u think deeply about something, was it pretty, was the dialogue good, did it give u a new perspective, did it make u feel something. Etc etc
Imo most movies are kind of bad and I usually regret watching them.
But I kinda feel like this is because I can easily think of other things I would have had more fun spending that time on. So it's a tangible loss to me.
FWIW I keep watching movies because I have seen a few that makes the pursuit worth it.
I did a Final Destination marathon recently to prep for Bloodlines.
While all the movies have their flaws and weaknesses, FD4 was garbage. Even as a easy to please person I couldn't handle it.
Genuinely terrible, I am shocked they wanted it to be the last one in the franchise, to the point they called it "The Final Destination"
This is exactly why we mainly get dogshit by people with nothing to say or any life experience.
