Just re-watched The Lord of the Rings, it's a snooze-fest & insanely overrated

And here I'd call most of these over rated 😉. The Shining in particular I found incredibly boring and barely creepy or unsettling.
There are various reasons that both LOTR and many of your favorites remain so popular but a big one (other than nostalgia) is that they were ground breaking at the time of release. Now, they seem tropey and what have you, but that's because everyone based their subsequent movies/books/etc on those originals, and then improved upon them.
