I liked all those movies for various reasons and would rate them highly.  I think one thing to keep in mind with critics is they are immersed in movies and watch them all the time so it creates a distinct cultural lens they view them through.  Never let that affect how I feel, but I would say in general there is an alignment of what is held up a great and what I enjoy, or at the very least don't hate.

I mean, I think Pulp Fiction should have beat Forest Gump for best picture, but I don't hate it.

Mad Max: Fury Road. Most boring movie I've ever seen, but apparently critics liked it.

Looking at the imd top rated movies:

Schindler's list. I've seen much more impactful movies about ww2. Making it b&w doesn't make it better.

The empire strikes back. I just don't like watching it again, bad pacing and no ending.

Forest Gump. All I can remember from it is that I was bored.

Se7en. Don't really hate it, yet why is it so highly rated? Criminal minds had better episodes when the show was still good.

The usual suspects. I found it a very boring movie.

The pianist. Zzzzz.

Fury Road is amongst the best action films since the 2000's IMO.  Its just high quality in almost every aspect. You'd think cinematography and art direction shouldn't matter in an action film until you watch Fury Road. Its just mind blowing for me. Sure, the screenplay and writing is shallow, but then again, its an action film. You are there for the spectacle of it, not to bring up existential issues. 

I've complained for a while how modern action movies fall flat simply becuase have no clue what is going on.  Saving Private Ryan did a great job capturing war with the beach scenes and made sense to shake the handheld camera a bit.  In the following years so many movies masked definiciencies by zooming in and smack the camera like crazy.  I want to see and take in the action, not feel like I have a headache afterward.  Fury Road was basically someone from the 1980s with a 2010s budget going "sit down kids, this is how it is done".

I'd give a mention to John Wick as well given that is made by stunt people so it is a pure action movie as well.

Always found The Departed a chore to sit through.

Lost in translation

I can hardly remember what the movie was even about, only that I found it extremely boring and myself extremely disappointed.

CAPOTE!!! Damn it how I hate that movie! Also OP: The Babadook? Really?! Great movie!

Yes, someone else sat through the pain that was The English Patient! It was so extremely melodramatic, long, and boring. Such a painful endeavor to watch the entire thing.

I was ready to give the same answer when I saw Jpcc86 citing Gravity.

OT: I'm not a big fan of movies "critically acclaimed" in the sense that I like easy entertainment with movies and more deep, serious and thoughtful things with books. Eventually, I find one or two movies acclaimed that I love (like Birdman, Amour, Whiplash). Here are some movies that I really hated:

Interstellar: It's a fucking pretentious shit (like most Nolan movies, though I love Dark Knight and The Prestige). It's boring, uninspired and full with dull solutions in the screenplay. People came to me at the time with the "you didn't like it because you didn't understand" thing, the same from Batman vs Superman, and I was like "but what the hell is so hard to understand in that movie that made you think I didn't understand?".

Schindler's list: Not a problem with B&W, I love old movies (Psycho from Hitchcock is one of my all-time favorites), maybe a little problem with Spielberg (not a fan), but this movie is just so boring.

The pianist: Maybe I don't hate it because certainly is a good movie for when I have problems to sleep.

Dark Knight Rises: Anne Hathaway as Catwoman? WTF? And where the hell is the Joker in the middle of the chaos? You want me to believe that all hell's breakin' loose in Gotham and Joker didn't have any part on it? (I know that Ledger died and all, but this don't make sense). And the fight scenes? Bleh. The ending? Don't even get me started.

Lord of the  Rings The Two Towers: The pacing for the first two LotR are so slow. But this, in special, is so meh. The third one is good.
