Everyone I know has a grudge against Monopoly for being the most senselessly long game ever...
On the contrary, I dislike it because it's mostly luck-based. Even though there is definitely more skill involved than purely luck-based games like Chutes & Ladders or my personal least-favorite, The Game of Life, it still relies far more on luck than on skill, and I don't have the patience for games like that.

My friends and I play monopoly every so often. We make it more skill based by trading/making deals, like loaning someone an amount of money so they won't die if they hit an opponents property, the rationale behind that they might die on you instead, getting their things. It is still heavily determined by luck though.
Chess is always a favorite. Monopoly I love (probably because I always win when I play). Stratego is a nice game for me to play too haha
And then of course, anytime I play ANY board game with my lil cousin it's like playing a whole new game. Who doesn't love a surprising rule twist in a pivotal moment of a game!
I enjoy many board games, but my undisputed favorite is definitely Risk. With a couple of friends, I could go on playing for hours and hours and hours.
