Collider presents a subjective list of classic films it considers good rather than great, arguing that widespread acclaim does not guarantee every viewer will find a film fully engaging.

– 'Opening Night' (1977): praised for Gena Rowlands’s performance, but criticised as overlong and insufficiently compelling.
– 'Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles' (1975): included as another highly regarded film viewed less enthusiastically by the writer.
