This is so subjective. I’ve seen people jerk themselves silly over Heart of Darkness and it is so ordinary. It is the epitome of “tell, don’t show”. I can’t believe something so mediocre is considered a classic.

The English Patient - didn’t read it but the movie is pretty terrible. Exactly nothing interesting happens for 3 hours.

Reasonable people can disagree, but at least don’t present these examples as universally acclaimed books and movies.
