Just because something is a classic does not mean that it is de facto good. Slavery is classic. The Catholic church is classic. Stoning people to death is classic. Boring naked-man statues with tiny peepees are classic(al).

Everyone else can have screaming orgasms over that movie. Every single thing I know to date about that movie, other movies, and myself tells me that I will not like it at all, and from that standpoint I don't give two tugs of a dead dog's cock if, by watching it once and appearing interested in it, I could cure AIDS and cancer, world hunger, global warming, save Alan Rickman from getting shot in the head, and make Gerard Way my personal bitch. Calling something a classic is far too often simply a way of saying "I don't get it, so it must be really good."

This was the logic under which I watched Taxi Driver, and at the conclusion of that movie, I did go punch a nun.

In conclusion, I will never give props to another thing again simply because it's a classic without watching it first and agreeing that it merits that definition.
