The Beatles are undoubtedly a huge part of music history and a huge foundational piece of rock and roll. That being said, listen to what you like and like what you like.
I have trouble watching a lot of classic movies and find them boring. I'd like to think that's fine!
I had a college roommate who thought the beatles were boring, and I had to think about that for a long time because it kind of went against my worldview at the time.
I think the Beatles were just so groundbreaking and influential that their influence is heard everywhere now, so if you missed listening to them as a kid, they just sound like old music
I definitely identified a range of classic movies from "Holy shit, I love this" to "I can appreciate this as Important Cinema but it's not for me."
In the first group I've got movies like Casablanca, The Philadelphia Story, and The Lion In Winter.
I recently watched La Dolce Vita, and that is very much in the second category. I can see how so many movie tropes came out of it but... it's just a little bit too much for me.
It's worth going back and checking out old movies because some of them are legitimately fun to watch, but it's also okay to just acknowledge a movie's contributions and move on.
I'm always in two minds. Like you, yes, I can say they're objectively good, but I tend to find myself enjoying the slightly more experimental stuff rather than the hits that immediately come to everyone's mind when you mention the band.
That said, one of my favourite songs is While My Guitar Gently Weeps 👌

Unpopular opinion, but I can't stand listening to the Beatles. I admit, they have written some objectively good songs, I just don't enjoy them. They just don't sound good to me.
However, I'm not a hater, and if you like them, I'm happy for you!
