I can't stand Love Actually. It's too schmaltzy and none of the characters are likeable. Especially the young boy.
Anime. I just don't get the appeal.
They're just stories with a different set of tropes than what we typically see in the west.

The nightmare before christmas. IDK maybe i've been exposed to it too much but I have never gotten an ounce of enjoyment watching the movie. The songs are lame and the plot is mind numbingly simple, you know so the kids can follow. So many people in my life just love it and want to make watching it every year for both halloween and christmas a tradition thing. I don't want to be a kill joy so I power through it every year. Im so tired of it though, How many more times do I have to hear that barrage of stupid disney sing songs just to spend time with my loved ones? "WhAt's ThiS TheRes WhitE Stuff EverYWHEre!" Fuck you jack skellington you sheltered prick. Its called cocaine and its how santa and his elves get shit done. Now travel around a few other holiday trees and do some world building so Disney can pump out a half baked sequel else they might go for a live action remake starring photorealistic cgi stitched together corpses.

Pixar style movies. They all rely on the same facial gags and dumbass humor.

Mrs. Doubtfire. I simply find the plot to be too contrived and ridiculous to get pulled into the story. Yes, I get that the movie is supposed to be a comedy. It does have a funny moment or two, but overall I find the comedy more cringe than actually humorous.
