Eh, there's legitimate reasons that Casablanca still sits up there on most lists.

It’s like everything else you don’t like - some of it is because you can recognize something is terribly made, some of it is because you werent trained or brought up in a way or time that let you appreciate the art for what it was in its original context. I hated bw films until my 40s, and I didn’t grow to like many of them out of nostalgia for the most part, I grew to enjoy them because I studied and participated in film making and learned how to view them, learned how they’re made, how to understand the language of film makers, and that unlocked an ability and willingness to enjoy them.

Same with music. Everyone loves classical and opera from the 19th century and earlier. You're telling me not one member of the Enterprise crew got down on some Beatles or Pink Floyd?

I felt that way too until I took a cinema class for easy gen ed credits.

Some Like It Hot is surprisingly, genuinely funny after all this time. High Noon is probably timeless.

But ya many “classics” are garbage. We don’t need to slog through Lawrence of Arabia ever again.
