I'll have to disagree with you there. The fact that most people like crap does not take away from the fact that it is indeed crap... it just demonstrates that most people are imbeciles.
Formulaic, trite, spectacle/drama/feelgood movies are by definition not great movies. They can be very effective entertainment, but even considering the idea that they may be among the "best movies ever" is like believing Tom Clancy is the greatest author of all time.
As for the "best movie of all time", there isn't one. Every style has its masterpieces.
