My mom isn't big on Citizen Kane either(and she prefers the original Godfather novel to the movie) and I too always hated It's a Wonderful Life, I always found parodies and homages to it to be more enjoyable(like that recent slasher movie "It's a Wonderful Knife").
Also HATE The Sixth Sense and never got why people gushed so much over it and Unbreakable or Signs(or hell pretty much anything Shyamalan related until people turned against him)I saw the big twist coming from light years away and Bruce Willis seemed to be in paycheck mode the whole time, Signs had one of the stupidest most nonsensical twist endings of all time(Nostalgia Critic was 100% right about that piece of shit movie)with the most unnatural sounding dialogue for kids in fictional media history(seriously no kid talks like that in real life, they sounded totally robotic)and Unbreakable was so pretentious and up it's own ass I couldn't stand it(and the sequels weren't much better).
Also can't stand the first Blair Witch movie or the 2016 one but I do like Book of Shadows(the fact that it didn't give me a headache from watching it like the other two did certainly helped)I think the first movie was only a hit cause of that whole "was it real or not?" gimmick, once you get past that it's a pretty weak movie and if it came out today I doubt it would've been a critical or commercial hit, there's a reason why it took so long for found-footage to become a trend. Speaking of which I HATE the Paranormal Activity series with a passion(not overly fond of Conjuring or Insidious film series either, former had too many stupid spin-offs and the latter is just forgettable).
Also HATE the Ring and Grudge remakes, for me they represent everything wrong with horror films in the 2000s.
