What's a movie you didn't like the first time but did the next?
 

You ever hate a movie the first time you see it but enjoy it the 2nd time around? I watched Minority Report last night for the 2nd time and I actually thought it was pretty good but I didnt like it when I saw it at the theaters when it came out. Maybe it has to do with the comfort of your home or that you can pause it and come back to it whenever..

What are some others worth another shot?

Donnie Darko

Loved it the 2nd time...first time I thought it was "ok"

Napoleon Dynamite

Mission Impossible

Napoleon Dynamite for sure. I thought it was so stupid at first... then I had a lil smokie smokie and saw it again & had to buy the DVD :)

yup..good call..same here.

Not that I can think of right off hand...however there have been movies that I thoroughly enjoyed only because I either saw it for free, or at a discount, but if I paid the full price would have been rioting in the streets.

Saving Silverman

napolean dynamite
i wasn't in the right mood to see it.

I can think of three off the top of my head:

1) Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
2) Real Big Fish
3) Solaris

Napoleon Dynamite... only made it 1/2 way the first imte... turned it off cause it was so stupid... second time... it played in the background during a party... 3rd I actually watched it and found it funny.

One Night in Paris

summerspy

Of all movies, Natural Born Killers. The first time I saw it was in a theater on a date with a real cunt, and I think she blew my mood. I went to see it a few weeks later with some friends and was like, "What the fuck? This is a fucking incredible movie..."

The crying game:thumbsup

All Steven Segal movies....

But wathing them on TBS or Showtime late at night with a beer some 10-15 years later its not that bad!

havent seen any of those..will add to list.

haha yeah..thats another good one the 2nd time around. Hated it at the theaters, liked it on DVD :thumbsup

duuuuuuuude...i just watched that one where he's a cook on a naval ship that gets terrorized. What's it called? It was pretty damn good lmao

Moulin Rouge!

matrix reloaded

yeah same here, i liked it the second time around

LOL too funny i was watching "reign of fire" this morning on TBS thinking it was better than the last time i saw it...

Miami Vice

Under Siege?

hehe..yup that's it :thumbsup

indeed

must have seen it 7 times since then

Breakfast of Champions.

hmm, why would anyone see a shitty movie a 2nd time?

YARGH! If a movie don't float me boat the first time I'd rarely if ever sit through it again.

The Breakfast Club. I was still pretty young when it came out, wasn't in the high school demographic then. Now its my favorite movie.

Conspiracy Theory...:(

The Hudsucker Proxy

Not sure how this happened, but it is a PHENOMENAL MOVIE!

Watch it NOW!!

If I dislike a movie the first time I'm hardly the type to watch it a second...

Cabin Fever. For some reason I was expecting some sort of serious horror epic the first time I seen it. I guess maybe it was the recommendations from Peter Jackson that fooled me.

Once I realized it was a great B-movie joke, I really enjoyed it the second time. Gotta love the pancake karate kid.

Thats the best, he is a expert killer and a killer chef.

Saw and Napoleon Dynamite.

Im sorry the only way Napoleon Dynamite would be funny was if I smoked an once of weed beforehand and during.

The only one I can think of right now is "The Usual Suspects" although I didn't 'hate' it the first go around. I can think of at least a dozen that get 'better' the more times you see them.

The Big Lebowski
...now it's my all-time fave.

Under Siege

Exactly what came to mind! One of the only films I've seen that I hated the first time, and like better each time after that. I own it now lol.

On the other hand, eternal sunshine and donnie darko I enjoyed right off the bat.

Fargo w/ William H. Macy

If I didn't like it the first time,I wouldn't see it again

I rarely watch movies twice...

However, when I was living in Japan, and if I missed the last train, my options often were either head to an all-night snack shop, where they keep bringing you food whether or not you eat or want it, as long as you stay there, or else all-night theaters.

Well, as fate would have it, I ducked into an all-night theater showing the Martin Scorcese classic "Taxi Driver", with Robert De Niro playing the starring role as "Travis Bickle", and Jody Foster playing a runaway teenage prostitute (which later served as the inspiration for Mark Hinckley's assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan - but I digress).

So anyway, I'm drunk off my ass with some Shinjuku bar girl, and I fall asleep as soon as the movie starts. Anyway, I wake up when the shooting starts at the end (around the time Harvey Kietel's thumb gets shot off).

I did this three more times during the night - it was like a bad dream.

Other movies which I fell asleep at the first time, but later enjoyed are:

2001: A Space Odyssey (stoned and I missed all but the psychedelic sequence my friends woke me up for)

Dune (that is one seriously slow, long ass, movie)

Paris, Texas (I kept waking up every 10 minutes, and it was like I had missed nothing)

Gone With the Wind (my wife finally made me stay awake through it, although I'm still not sure if I enjoyed the sleep the first time, or the movie, better)
