has this ever happened

has this ever happened before? you watch a movie and you dont like it and then like a year later you watch it and you like it. Has this ever happened to you?

I walked out on The Thin Red Line because it was boring me to tears. It's now in my top 25.

I'm a fool.

This happens to me a lot. I guess you can just throw it up to a change of your personal tastes, and how you view stuff with new knoweldge you've gained sense your last viewing.


Citizen Kane is perhaps the most profound. The first time I saw it I didnt hate it, but I didnt understand why it was so well recieived. I understood the camera angles but that was it. I refussed to believe there was somehting I missed, I've seen it sense and abosolutly adore it.

On a liter side I used to hate Kung Pow: Enter the Fist but saw it with some friends and loved it, its a great movie to see with friends.

Some movies have "growth" to them.

I was depressed and tired (due to a family death) when I went and saw Shrek, in the theater no less where it really should have shone.

Didn't like it.

Waited till it came out on video and now I really enjoy it (well after my kid watched it and started quoting from it for like the 30th time, it started getting old).

I guess it depends on mood, where you see it and other factors.

I didn't like Pulp Fiction the first time I watched it. I gave it another chance a while after that and loved it.

Pulp Fiction is still in it's growing session on me. I've only seen it twice, and that a while ago. I'll have to see it again sometime soon perhaps.

This is good to hear, I was about to say that, believe it or not, I didn't really like Citizen Kane first time around. Glad to hear I'm not the only one. This actually happens a lot to me with older movies (old meaning pre-60's, I guess even a few movies from the 60's). I find that the more I think about them, and sometimes the more I watch them, the more I like them.

I hated Tommy Boy the first time I saw it.

Then about a year or so later, I was went to a friends, and he was watching it, and I ended up laughing my ass off. I've LOVED it ever since.

That's happened before. It's also happened the other way around as well.

I hated Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. I was urged by fans to give it another chance, and I did, but that only made me hate it more.

Does that count?

[TheTrojanHorse]

It's also happened the other way around as well.

Try having two young children who watch the same movies over and over and over and over......etc. until they can recite the lines word for word.

Many a good children's flick have gone the way of "If I see that movie one more time I am gonna......"

[Troy Zuniga]

I had a "friend" who ruined Spaceballs for me in just that same way.

Pulp Fiction

Scary Movie 2. I hated it the first time I saw it, then sometime later I watched it again and again, then I realized it was pretty damn funny (but nothing can beat the original!).
