Gangs of New York. I don't hate it or "can't believe I ever liked it" but it is NO WHERE near as good as I thought it was when I first watched it. Maybe I was mesmerized by DDL. Which is easy with him!!!
I remember watching "Blade Runner" for the very first time, and thinking it was a meaningless, slow-paced film that depended on visual effects to sell itself, but that's when I was very ignorant to there being different types of Sci-Fi films. After 7 years, I re-watched it thoroughly, and I was just blown away by the deep themes of humanity, the God complex, and the prediction of humanity's future in the year 2019. Such a true masterpiece of cinema.
i dont think of my self as "an intellect" but I loved blade runner when I saw it when I was a kid. I still think Deckard being a replicant in the sequal is a plot hole.
I initially didn't understand the brilliant humor of "The Blues Brothers" the first time I saw it. A few years later, I'm out of high school and in the real world, and suddenly I came to love the movie for reasons I can't explain.
Basically all of Quentin Tarantino’s films. I was to young to appreciate film and found them “boring” and “too talky” and “not enough action”. Once I started to appreciate film I rewatched all of them and they’re basically all amazing in their own way
I was that way with "Natural Born Killers", which was written by Tarantino before he directed. I was just caught so off-guard by Tarabtino's dialogue and stortyelling, and Oliver Stone's extreme choice of direction. Also "Unbreakable", which is easily one of my favorite movies.
People have reacted that way to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. It’s a masterpiece and so entertaining, but people just don’t really get it I think. It’s apparently “too talky” as you put it
I first watched Mean Girls when I was a kid. My older sister bought the DVD when it came out and I sat there and watched a little bit with her. I deemed it 'a girly movie' early on and lost interest. A few years later, after going through quite a bit of grade 6 drama and bullying, I saw the movie again. Fucking loved it. It had me laughing and also hit me right in the feels.
"Napoleon Dynamite" Hated it for months until I heard my friends quoting it and had to see what they saw. Now I'm inserting the crystals and "training to be a cage fighter" all the way!
First, the Departed was 2006. Second, my film would be Memento. First time it didn't make sense, second time I thought it was a gimmick film, third time I finally grasp the genius of Christopher Nolan.
I hate to confess that I was disappointed with Inglorious Bastards when I first saw it. I think the subtitles over the German and French speaking threw me off which made it hard for me to understand what the whole film was about. But I decided to give it another go, and I appreciated it much much more for its performances and story and it is now one of my favorite movies :)
Also, I want to mention this because I feel i did a tremendous disservice to the film. But when I first saw Saving Private Ryan, I absolutley could not grasp any of what I was watching.

For me, it was A Clockwork Orange. I was about 15 at the time, and up until then, I had only seen simple, safe movies. Lots of mainstream movies. Nothing that really tackled looking at the darker side of humanity. So the first time I saw it, I was incredibly disturbed, and I thought only sickos would like this movie. But I just couldn’t get it out of my head, so I watched it again. And on the second viewing, that’s when I learned for the first time that just because the main character is the main character- that doesn’t mean you’re supposed to condone their actions or root for everything they do. Once I realized that- I saw that this movie was one of the best of all time. And still is.
@@JubeiKibagamiFez Yes! Blind fury was awesome, but also underrated. Which is surprising considering the sword fights were amazing compared to the type of slow choreography we were used to from star wars, Highlander and Conan when Blind fury was released. plus doing all of that fast paced sword fighting while maintaining that almost vacant stare of a blind person was some amazing acting on Rutger Hauer's part

Yeah, Village isn't AS bad as its reputation suggests, but it does still suffer from the problem that its core premise is utterly unbelievable. It's a beautifully-shot, well-acted, finely character-driven piece of utter nonsense.
Jason Blalock I’m the only Shyamalan fan left in America (the world?), so I get where you’re coming from. Regardless, it was much better for me upon subsequent viewings.
@@jasonblalock4429 All the real life cults literally littering humanities history that had charasmatic leaders who actually caused people to act in those seemingly "unbelievable" and "nonsensical" ways might disagree with your premise.

*Deadpool* for me, weirdly. I think my expectations the 1st time were so high (one of my favorite comic book characters and one of my favorite actors) I don't think it could have fulfiled them. The 2nd time I could watch it more clearly and I loved it.
@Jeff N in order to save money, the studio also reused sets from Dark City when they made the matrix. A LOT of sets. Dark City is the better film, but I appreciate the clever cheapness of the matrix all things considered.
@Jeff N The Wachowskis wanted to save money lol. And the writer/director of dark city wrote his store a decade before it was made. Check out the commentary on the director's and cut of dark city.
Robin Hood: Men in Tights I did not appreciate this movie the first time at all, but I have enjoyed in more and more with each subsequent viewing. Now. I still find myself quoting it all of the time.
James Bond: Casino Royale. First time I watched it I thought "this is shit" and that was basically because younger me didn't like that it wasn't Sean Connery playing as Bond. Every time I have watched it since it just seems to get better and better.
1:04 Fully on board with this Blade Runner take.. I’ve only seen it once and its a good movie, but I don’t really understand what its trying to tell me.
Well, it's more of an "asking" movie than a "telling" movie. When it came out, it was pretty novel to use robots as a way to examine questions of person-hood and consciousness. Does only a natural human get human rights? Are we our memories? That sort of thing. But it's a victim of its own success - now that's bog standard for sci-fi movies, practically a go-to cliche. So it's probably not going to blow many people's minds any more. If anything, its more underlying themes of empathy and learning to accept the "other" will probably resonate more today than its overt existential questions.
Arrival. I didn't like it the first time, but I gave it another chance, and I'm glad I did. Magnificent movie. Maybe I should give the Coen Brothers' Blood Simple another watch.
The first time I saw Fargo I loathed it. I thought the accents were annoying, the plot was weird, & the dialogue was repetitive. Then after everyone telling me I was wrong & seeing it on every “best movies” list, I watched it again & went “Oh, no. This is a comedy. I missed that completely.” Now I think it’s phenomenal.
Mr. 'Phet I would recommend it. Honestly, most Cohen Bros movies get better the more you watch them even if you like the movie. This one is a particularly good re-watch.
Final Fantasy movie, because the first time I thought I was going to see something like FF8 or 9, but rewatching knowing what I was going to see, I really enjoyed it.
For me it was Eternal sunshine on a spotless mind. Didn't knew what I was going in to, so my reaction was far off what drama I was hoping to see. Second time around it was a completely different movie and a great one..
That and "American Psycho" are my favorite films. Maybe the only two movies that I really can't criticize at all. Arguably perfect in how they were envisioned and realized.
Departed actually is laid out quite easy to understand (I assume he wasn't really paying attention to the movie). If you want to talk about confusing, the original, Infernal Affairs, somehow the director decided to use similarly looking actors as the younger versions. Often times you get confused of who is who (who's the DiCaprio role guy and who's the Damon role guy again?). Messed up thing is, I'm Asian. And I still got confused 😕 I would say Departed is one of the few remakes that are on par (or in some part, even better) than the original. But Infernal Affairs is a masterpiece as a trilogy (as in, it goes beyond what is shown in Departed).
@@Mharriscreations Agreed. I think the biggest disconnect for people when it comes to the comparison is whether or not you're already familiar w/ Hong Kong crime flicks. Once you're used to the depiction of Triads and families and how their police do things, it makes more sense. It can be hard to parse if you're trying to build the cultural reference table in your head. Even though they're a little cheesy, the Young and Dangerous movies are a good way to get used to the mindset.
@@testsubject2313 you're probably on to something there. Though I'm not Asian I grew up on Hong Kong and Chinese cinema, so I've never had a problem tracking with their storytelling conventions, but it might be harder to understand for those who haven't.
For me it was Moulin Rouge. The first 20 or so minutes are absolute sensory overload. I was at the theater with my mother and (then) girlfriend. They dragged me to it, so that didn't help. Once they reached the elephant love some, I was better with the film. Now it's one of my top 10; probably my favorite musical.
I would say Monsters (2010) hugely benefits from a second viewing, mostly because it was so utterly mismarketed as a "creature feature" rather than an-Annihilation style character study 8 years early.
Prometheus. I HATED it the first time, but I'm a die hard Alien fan, so I think that's why. I watched it the second time on my own and as it being separate from the Alien franchise, and I loved it. Odd.
@bigbadb10 "starchild" at no time in the movie does anyone say the term. Nor did David Bowman say "My God it's full of Stars" . The sequel 2010 said that he DID though.
For me it's The Godfather. I was a filmbuff when I was a teenager (more into games now) and so I saw it out of some sense of obligation. I watched it, I didn't get it, but I appreciated it was a well make film and I always had the attitude of "doesn't mean it's a bad film.... it just isn't for me". I understood why it was constantly on top of best film lists. I just figured I had weird tastes. Anyway fast forward a couple of years, my Dad caught wind of my feelings for the film and made me watch it again and I was blown away. I make a point of watching it with him every year.
Citizen Kane. Was forced to see it in school, and I couldn't for the life of me understand the praise for that movie. Years later I got interrested in HOW movies are made. So I rewatched the movie and loved it! Incredible directing, shooting in amazing angles and innovative framing of the characters.
The Watchmen. I think it was because it wasn't what I was expecting the first time around but then when I realized that it wasn't supposed to be a wholesome superhero flick the second viewing made me love.
A friend of mine and I went to see Richard III starring Ian McKellen. When the tank crashed through a wall, we looked at each other and walked out of the movie (we were allowed to switch to a different film). Some time later, I learned that aside from the period shift, the film was quite faithful to the original Shakespeare, so I gave it a second try. I loved McKellen in the film.
Terrifier, on Netflix; I first watched it and thought "another evil clown slasher, lame" and I turned it off after like 20 minutes. I rewatched it, and not only is it now one of my favorite modern horror films, but Art the clown is one of my all time favorite horror villains as well. David Howard Thornton, who plays Art the clown, is an incredible physical actor, and his performance is *SO* frightening. It's excellent.
I can understand why a Trekkie would dislike those 3 films, but as a casual fan I do like them also. It's probably how I am with the MCU and Star Wars when casual fans like everything churned out there 😅
The Doors. Saw it first when I was too young. Since then watched it older and loved it. Even though it is not true to life, I love the mood of the film.
Robocop, from 1987. Saw part of it in theaters with my uncle and it traumatized me. Couldn't watch it for years. But now it's one of my all time favorite movies!
I have two. #1 300, I thought it was so artsy fartsy and people kept telling me I have to love it, not that I would like it, but I HAD to love it. That irked me, so I watched it again years later, and found some things I liked, that got me to like it more, and so on. #2 Return of the Living Dead, I didn't like it at first. I thought some sections were too boring, and it changed the zombie trope so much. I was also 10 when I saw it, so I hadn't really experienced movies as a whole a lot. It wasn't till I was in my teens and I realized how much the characters were great (The great Dan O'Bannon is to thank for that), how original it was and took zombies into this new area that were actually scary for once, and how much it influenced popculture, horror movies, and did so much with such a little budget that I came to appreciate and love the movie. It is the first movie where zombies run AND it started the whole idea of zombies eating brains. Most people don't know this movie, but they know zombies eat brains.
Batman & Robin. First time I was disappointed it wasn’t a Tim Burton/ Michael Keaton worthy film, but the second time I watched it with the viewpoint of it being a modern reimagining of the 60’s Adam West Batman show.
I don't know there's any movie I hated that I grew to love but there's a few that I definitely grew to enjoy. Ocean's 11 -The remake. I always used to be late and miss ther first few minutes of a movie(before coming attractions got to be 10 years long) and somehow, missing the character introductions for that movie kept me from getting into it at all. Saw it again at home from the beginning and really enjoyed it. Casablanca ---wasn't super young when I saw it but all I'd heard was that it was this great love story and I was so disappointed with it. Later I heard someone discussing it and talking about how the relationship was really meant to show the sacrifices people made during war and then it clicked for me. I still don't think of it as a great love story though.
Idiocracy Felt like it went for the cheap fart joke, second time I saw the brilliance in the undertones.....and now that it becoming a reality.... it is only becoming better and better with each watch!
Groundhog day, the first time I watched it I'm not sure if I just wasn't in the mood to watch it at that moment or I didn't really understand it at first but the second time I watched it I was crying laughing and I was like, how did I not like this movie the first time.
Recent movies I watched and genuinely hated were The Hustle (first movie I walked out on), Let's Be Cops, Suicide Squad and Tyler Perry's Good Deeds (which was like looking at everything I hated about my old self personified).
Toys. Sometimes movies are so not what you expect that you're thrown off and disappointed. The 2nd time around you know what you're in for and can appreciate it more. Toys has its flaws and a bit of a drawn out ending battle, but it has moments of creative brilliance that I absolutely love. I wouldn't call it a favorite, but it classifies as a movie that took a 2nd viewing to love it. Oh, and I just remembered Three Amigos. Hated it in the theater except for the campfire scene. Then I got married and my wife loves it, so I obviously had to watch it again. I couldn't understand why I didn't like it the first time!
Zoolander, used a Christmas gift of a free movie pass for two, went with my then fiance. I remember walking out of the movie at the end and I was grateful I didn't pay my own money to see it. A few years later I was trying to explain the movie to my sister and I was failing at explaining it so we went to rent it from Blockbuster Video and the moment I put in the DVD and the menu came up and Zoolander says, "Welcome to the wonderful world of divid!" I started laughing and I gave it a second chance, loved it and went ahead and bought it the next day. 😁
The first time I watched Princess Mononoke I was fucking terrified. I was about eight, and I could barely sit through the first half hour before I left with my mum. I had nightmares about the crazy boar with tentacles at the beginning of the movie for weeks afterwards. Then, when I was in high school, a friend recomended it to me and I watched it again. Now I think it's one of the best animated movies ever.
The biggest ones for me were probably Starship Troopers and the live-action Speed Racer. And both were a case of me just not being in the right headspace when I saw them. Particularly StarTroops. One thing people often forget is that NOTHING about the advertising suggested it was a satire. So I went in expecting a relatively straight adaptation of the novel, and so all of the more subtle stuff just went over my head. And in the case of Speed Racer, the second time I saw it I was high as a kite and then I loved it. And still do.
The Cable Guy: I watched it at the theater and couldn't figure out what the hell to think of it. But, later on, for some reason, I couldn't wait for it to come out on video so I could watch it again. Now, I think it's one of Jim Carey's best films of his career.
Jurassic Park (as a 5 year old I cried when my dad was watching the T-Rex scene on TV). My other one is probably Captain America. I thought it was a boring war film and was a slow starter so turned it off half way through. Its now one of my favourite MCU films and is a contributor in kicking off the best film franchise ever
Tropic Thunder. Though mainly because my Uncle put it on when I was 6 or 7, so the opening scene of someone’s guts leaving their chest, or the laser accurate pint of blood spilling out disturbed me.
Also, despite what you may initially think, he’s the fun uncle of the family. Now I’m disappointed in myself for not liking it, I don’t care that I was barely old enough to ride a bike.
My movie was Cable Guy. I saw it in the theater and expected it to be more of a thriller. The 2nd time I saw it I loved it. It was all about expectations for me. I’ve seen it many times since.
Its films like Lost in Translation and Sideways for me. Its that complete misunderstanding of what you're watching and you think 'well nothings happening, so why even bother?' But then you sit down a second time to watch the 'drama' that just echoes real life and its like sitting down with old friends. These deeply flawed characters just living their lives and the good and bad that comes with it and realising that THAT is the whole point of the film. To echo these human moments and interactions, even when farcical.
So fun fact Tim's rant from spaced isn't just some hack ragging on a cult film. It's implied multiple times throughout the show that tim enjoys cross dressing and the rant isn't actually about the movie but his fear of accepting that part of himself and how others would see him. He is one who's the sexualy repressed accountant.
Zathura. Saw it in the cinema when it first came out in 2005. Went years thinking it was boring and bad. Came across it again recently while Channel hopping, and it's not as bad as I remember.
Tron Legacy. Originally I was annoyed with how it different it was. Dark, rocky, and Lightcycles go in straight lines and 90deg angles, not curves! Did enjoy the soundtrack 1st time :D
I can't think of any movie I "didn't like" the first time, but there are a few movies I just didn't understand the first time, and so didn't think much of them, until I watched them again properly the second time. The first one that immediately springs to mind is Blade Runner. Even though I only saw it twice, the first time I saw it as a teenager I think I was watching it at a friend's house in the middle of the day, and there was a bunch of light and sound distracting me from the film, so I came away from it having no clue what I had just watched, and just accepted that maybe it wasn't the movie for me. The second time was just a couple years ago, and I had heard about how amazing the film actually was, so I bought the fancy Steel-Case Blu-Ray from Best Buy and watched it properly, and enjoyed it way more than my first viewing.
However, one movie I felt like isn't as amazing as everyone says it is (and I've seen it twice) is Vertigo. I think it's a good film. Definitely well-made, but I feel like the whole thing comes to a screeching halt in the second act with this melodramatic love story that I feel like the movie spent too much time on. When the third act hits, and the bizarre obsession stuff comes to light, and this big mystery comes into play, it picks up again. I really enjoy the third act and the ending, and the first act was pretty good, but the middle is where Vertigo really suffers in my mind. I feel like Hitchcock made better films before and since (Rear Window, Rope, and Psycho being some of my favorites).
The first time I saw Close Encounters of the Third Kind I was very young and it bored me because the whole movie was over my head. However I recently rewatched it, and I was absolutely riveted. It's a beautiful movie.
This is a weird one but for me it's Minority Report. I really can't tell you why because i don't know, maybe i was in a bad mood or something but after a second viewing and multiple viewing since then, now i think it's one of the most enjoyable sci-fi's of all time.
The only movie this happened to me, where watching it the first time and loving it the second time around, was World War Z. The only reason for the was because of Doc of the Dead that actually explained the movie and the concept behind it, that I decided to give it a second watch and then absolutely loved because it made more sense to me. Since then, I've seen the movie about over 50 times, to a point where I've watched it 3x in one day and still do.
The voices with Ryan Reynolds me and our lass walked out of the cinema we thought it was really slow but the second time I thought it was brill really sad and chilling
For me, Fantasia. I saw the poster for it outside the local movie theater when I was 10 and it had a huge picture of Mickey Mouse as the Sorcerer's Apprentice. A whole movie of Mickey Mouse? I'm in. Except that it wasn't. It was a movie with 75% flowers and raindrops and like 5% Mickey Mouse. I hated it. I swore I would never see it again. Then many years later I saw it and loved it. Night on Bald Mountain with Chernabog? Magnificent! The whole sequence with the creation of the earth? Amazing! Now I love the film and can appreciate it as art.
4:31 are you fucking joking?!?! first off he didn't get the departed as a teenager, something i managed to do, and i'm younger, then refers to the original as infernal affairs!! does anybody ever check these videos over?
I never hated these movies, but films such as The Pirates! In An Adventure With Scientists, A. K. A. Band Of Misfits, Megamind, Where The Wild Things Are, and A Monster Calls didn't leave a big impression on me with the first viewings, but I liked them much more with repeated viewings.
Yeah that one kinda threw me for a loop and I was like wtf was this so I had to watch it like 2 more times before I could really figure it out plus I smoked a ton of weed back then so that didn't help
I’d be interested in hearing what movie that you initially loved that when you rewatched it you couldn’t believe you ever liked it.
A Christmas Story. I liked it when I first saw it. After seeing way too many times, thanks to TBS and TNT, I hate it now.
Batman Forever. Thing about growing old you look back and see how skewed up you were.
Gangs of New York. I don't hate it or "can't believe I ever liked it" but it is NO WHERE near as good as I thought it was when I first watched it. Maybe I was mesmerized by DDL. Which is easy with him!!!
For me, Juno, but it's not an "I hate it" thing. The older I get, the less funny and more sad it gets.

MEAN GIRLS is a modern masterpiece.
"Napoleon Dynamite"
Hated it for months until I heard my friends quoting it and had to see what they saw. Now I'm inserting the crystals and "training to be a cage fighter" all the way!
First time I saw it I was like what the hell did I just watch. Then I watched it again just a few minutes later and I was totally laughing.
Same! I thought it was so dumb but now I love it!
I still hate it, it's so lame
I felt the same way about it. Hated it first time. Now I love it.
I thought this too but I never tried to watch it again. Maybe I should give it a second chance!
First, the Departed was 2006. Second, my film would be Memento. First time it didn't make sense, second time I thought it was a gimmick film, third time I finally grasp the genius of Christopher Nolan.

*Deadpool* for me, weirdly. I think my expectations the 1st time were so high (one of my favorite comic book characters and one of my favorite actors) I don't think it could have fulfiled them. The 2nd time I could watch it more clearly and I loved it.
How dare you !!!!
Best thing Ryan Reynolds ever did, Two guys and a girl and a pizzaplace.
Dark City. Didn't like it at all in theatres. Have since learned to appreciate the masterwork that it is.
That's one of my favorite movies ever!
An amazing movie!!
@Jeff N in order to save money, the studio also reused sets from Dark City when they made the matrix. A LOT of sets.
Dark City is the better film, but I appreciate the clever cheapness of the matrix all things considered.
@Jeff N The Wachowskis wanted to save money lol. And the writer/director of dark city wrote his store a decade before it was made. Check out the commentary on the director's and cut of dark city.
Robin Hood: Men in Tights
I did not appreciate this movie the first time at all, but I have enjoyed in more and more with each subsequent viewing. Now. I still find myself quoting it all of the time.
James Bond: Casino Royale. First time I watched it I thought "this is shit" and that was basically because younger me didn't like that it wasn't Sean Connery playing as Bond. Every time I have watched it since it just seems to get better and better.
1:04 Fully on board with this Blade Runner take.. I’ve only seen it once and its a good movie, but I don’t really understand what its trying to tell me.
Well, it's more of an "asking" movie than a "telling" movie. When it came out, it was pretty novel to use robots as a way to examine questions of person-hood and consciousness. Does only a natural human get human rights? Are we our memories? That sort of thing. But it's a victim of its own success - now that's bog standard for sci-fi movies, practically a go-to cliche. So it's probably not going to blow many people's minds any more.
If anything, its more underlying themes of empathy and learning to accept the "other" will probably resonate more today than its overt existential questions.
Think they know now to put Ash at the last as everyone is waiting to see her!
Josh.
Only reason I watch these
Tim Curry is a treasure in that movie and it makes it entirely worth the watch alone.
Love Tim Curry. So good in Blue Money and Clue too.
Arrival. I didn't like it the first time, but I gave it another chance, and I'm glad I did. Magnificent movie.
Maybe I should give the Coen Brothers' Blood Simple another watch.
The first time I saw Fargo I loathed it. I thought the accents were annoying, the plot was weird, & the dialogue was repetitive. Then after everyone telling me I was wrong & seeing it on every “best movies” list, I watched it again & went “Oh, no. This is a comedy. I missed that completely.” Now I think it’s phenomenal.
So I should watch it again? I saw it once and thought it was trash 😕
Mr. 'Phet I would recommend it. Honestly, most Cohen Bros movies get better the more you watch them even if you like the movie. This one is a particularly good re-watch.
@@scotchike_92 Makes sense. I love O Brother Where Art Thou more every time I watch it!
For me definitely the Big Lebowski 🙏🏻
valibe94 same
I’ve only watched that once and hated it. Can’t bring myself to try again
Hail Zod Fully onboard with this opinion. Another Coen Brother movie I just don’t like.
Final Fantasy movie, because the first time I thought I was going to see something like FF8 or 9, but rewatching knowing what I was going to see, I really enjoyed it.
For me it was Eternal sunshine on a spotless mind. Didn't knew what I was going in to, so my reaction was far off what drama I was hoping to see. Second time around it was a completely different movie and a great one..
That and "American Psycho" are my favorite films.
Maybe the only two movies that I really can't criticize at all. Arguably perfect in how they were envisioned and realized.
Departed actually is laid out quite easy to understand (I assume he wasn't really paying attention to the movie).
If you want to talk about confusing, the original, Infernal Affairs, somehow the director decided to use similarly looking actors as the younger versions. Often times you get confused of who is who (who's the DiCaprio role guy and who's the Damon role guy again?). Messed up thing is, I'm Asian. And I still got confused 😕
I would say Departed is one of the few remakes that are on par (or in some part, even better) than the original. But Infernal Affairs is a masterpiece as a trilogy (as in, it goes beyond what is shown in Departed).
Andrew Y P m
I’m kinda the opposite of you. I think The Departed is boring and way worse than Infernal Affairs.
@@Mharriscreations Agreed. I think the biggest disconnect for people when it comes to the comparison is whether or not you're already familiar w/ Hong Kong crime flicks.
Once you're used to the depiction of Triads and families and how their police do things, it makes more sense. It can be hard to parse if you're trying to build the cultural reference table in your head. Even though they're a little cheesy, the Young and Dangerous movies are a good way to get used to the mindset.
@@testsubject2313 you're probably on to something there. Though I'm not Asian I grew up on Hong Kong and Chinese cinema, so I've never had a problem tracking with their storytelling conventions, but it might be harder to understand for those who haven't.
The issue with the tall ging dude is that he hates Lord of the Rings. And so, his opinions are automatically invalid.
though the prestige is probably the best nolan film after memento.
Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. It grew on me after a while and now I consider it a solid comedy.
Gary Cole makes that movie. Every scene he's in is gold.
For me it was Moulin Rouge. The first 20 or so minutes are absolute sensory overload. I was at the theater with my mother and (then) girlfriend. They dragged me to it, so that didn't help. Once they reached the elephant love some, I was better with the film. Now it's one of my top 10; probably my favorite musical.
I would say Monsters (2010) hugely benefits from a second viewing, mostly because it was so utterly mismarketed as a "creature feature" rather than an-Annihilation style character study 8 years early.
Tropic Thunder was the main one for me.
I'm a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude, that shit tripped me out when I first saw it
I wouldn't say I love it but topic thunder us a decent shout
2001: a Space Odyssey. As a wee boy it didn't mean anything. Then one Christmas, when really unwell, it made perfect sense.
7:16 how I feel about the first hangover haha only liked that movie on the 3rd go with weed and alcohol and haven't seen it since.
Prometheus. I HATED it the first time, but I'm a die hard Alien fan, so I think that's why. I watched it the second time on my own and as it being separate from the Alien franchise, and I loved it. Odd.
Please, PLEASE give the interviewer a mic!
2001: A Space Odyssey . I mean it takes 2 viewings to actually "get it".
Me too. Granted, I was on acid the second time. My dad told me that helped
@bigbadb10 "starchild" at no time in the movie does anyone say the term.
Nor did David Bowman say "My God it's full of Stars" . The sequel 2010 said that he DID though.
@bigbadb10 That they are both in the book and not the movie.
You assume that I watch movies a 2nd time.
I can hardly sit through most of them the first time. Stupid ADD
You ain't a cinephile then.
@@shatendraseethiah2217 No. Not really.
KingMattXL I have ADD and I can sit through many movies throughout the day. I guess we’re different. Lol
@@andreasmeelie1889 I gotta stop it every few minutes to do something else, and then go back to it
KingMattXL I see that you’re just like my Mom, lol
For me it's The Godfather. I was a filmbuff when I was a teenager (more into games now) and so I saw it out of some sense of obligation. I watched it, I didn't get it, but I appreciated it was a well make film and I always had the attitude of "doesn't mean it's a bad film.... it just isn't for me". I understood why it was constantly on top of best film lists. I just figured I had weird tastes.
Anyway fast forward a couple of years, my Dad caught wind of my feelings for the film and made me watch it again and I was blown away. I make a point of watching it with him every year.
Bladerunner. I was too young when I first watched it, only rewatching years later did I see the films genius.
Citizen Kane. Was forced to see it in school, and I couldn't for the life of me understand the praise for that movie. Years later I got interrested in HOW movies are made. So I rewatched the movie and loved it! Incredible directing, shooting in amazing angles and innovative framing of the characters.
I like how this is posted on October 3rd and he mentioned it in the video. I see what you did there Whatculture. I see you.
The Watchmen. I think it was because it wasn't what I was expecting the first time around but then when I realized that it wasn't supposed to be a wholesome superhero flick the second viewing made me love.
Oliver Stone's The Doors when I was 15... The only film I've ever walked out of the cinema on. A few years later it became one of my favourites.
A friend of mine and I went to see Richard III starring Ian McKellen. When the tank crashed through a wall, we looked at each other and walked out of the movie (we were allowed to switch to a different film). Some time later, I learned that aside from the period shift, the film was quite faithful to the original Shakespeare, so I gave it a second try. I loved McKellen in the film.
Austenland. Got stuck in my head, had to watch it again to decide how I felt about it and now it's one of my favorites.
Terrifier, on Netflix; I first watched it and thought "another evil clown slasher, lame" and I turned it off after like 20 minutes. I rewatched it, and not only is it now one of my favorite modern horror films, but Art the clown is one of my all time favorite horror villains as well. David Howard Thornton, who plays Art the clown, is an incredible physical actor, and his performance is *SO* frightening. It's excellent.
star trek 2009 watched 20 min wasn't interested... years later i went back n watched it all i love that film & star trek now !
Not a big star trek fan besides some episodes of deep space nine and one of the other ones but I really liked the 2009 movie
I can understand why a Trekkie would dislike those 3 films, but as a casual fan I do like them also.
It's probably how I am with the MCU and Star Wars when casual fans like everything churned out there 😅
The Doors. Saw it first when I was too young. Since then watched it older and loved it. Even though it is not true to life, I love the mood of the film.
Dune. Well, basically every David Lynch movie. You gotta watch it more than once to appreciate it.
Robocop, from 1987. Saw part of it in theaters with my uncle and it traumatized me. Couldn't watch it for years. But now it's one of my all time favorite movies!
Mean Girls I’m in your top five? Have you only seen six films? Lol
Zoolander hardly laughed at all the first time second rofl.
yes!
Were you high the second time?
@@walsh8921 both times I believe lol
It's the only time I've ever found Will Ferrell funny. Normally I find him about as funny as cot death.
I have two.
#1 300, I thought it was so artsy fartsy and people kept telling me I have to love it, not that I would like it, but I HAD to love it. That irked me, so I watched it again years later, and found some things I liked, that got me to like it more, and so on.
#2 Return of the Living Dead, I didn't like it at first. I thought some sections were too boring, and it changed the zombie trope so much. I was also 10 when I saw it, so I hadn't really experienced movies as a whole a lot. It wasn't till I was in my teens and I realized how much the characters were great (The great Dan O'Bannon is to thank for that), how original it was and took zombies into this new area that were actually scary for once, and how much it influenced popculture, horror movies, and did so much with such a little budget that I came to appreciate and love the movie. It is the first movie where zombies run AND it started the whole idea of zombies eating brains. Most people don't know this movie, but they know zombies eat brains.
Batman & Robin. First time I was disappointed it wasn’t a Tim Burton/ Michael Keaton worthy film, but the second time I watched it with the viewpoint of it being a modern reimagining of the 60’s Adam West Batman show.
My dude wearing the Dance with the Dead shirt! 🤘🤘
Napoleon dynamite 1st time what? 2nd time loved it.
Was just going to say the same! I thought it was strange and dumb the first time i saw it. Now it's one of my faves.
I HATED Napoleon Dynamite the first time
Me too! 😁
I still hate it.
I don't know there's any movie I hated that I grew to love but there's a few that I definitely grew to enjoy. Ocean's 11 -The remake. I always used to be late and miss ther first few minutes of a movie(before coming attractions got to be 10 years long) and somehow, missing the character introductions for that movie kept me from getting into it at all. Saw it again at home from the beginning and really enjoyed it.
Casablanca ---wasn't super young when I saw it but all I'd heard was that it was this great love story and I was so disappointed with it. Later I heard someone discussing it and talking about how the relationship was really meant to show the sacrifices people made during war and then it clicked for me. I still don't think of it as a great love story though.
Yes Infernal affairs is best movie all time. Departed is a valiant remake
I'm 100% with Ewan on Blade Runner. I also watched it expecting an action movie and hated its slow pace. Now I totally love it.
The lord of the rings. At first i thought they were geeky and nerdy, needless to say today I'm a huge nerd and I love it!
Idiocracy
Felt like it went for the cheap fart joke, second time I saw the brilliance in the undertones.....and now that it becoming a reality.... it is only becoming better and better with each watch!
Love the neon bat from Morrisons in the background
I agreed with all of these through my own experiences, except departed. Love every second of that movie from the first time till today !
Groundhog day, the first time I watched it I'm not sure if I just wasn't in the mood to watch it at that moment or I didn't really understand it at first but the second time I watched it I was crying laughing and I was like, how did I not like this movie the first time.
Mine is The Family Stone, now it’s a must watch every Christmas 🎄
I rented that purely for Rachel McAdams, and found myself enjoying it quite a lot.
*Unforgiven* I saw it when was young and just wrote it off as a long, boring Western. Now, it is easily in my top 5 movies period.
why write period when you've already got a fullstop at the end?
I have never bothered to watch a movie I hated a second time.
Recent movies I watched and genuinely hated were The Hustle (first movie I walked out on), Let's Be Cops, Suicide Squad and Tyler Perry's Good Deeds (which was like looking at everything I hated about my old self personified).
Toys. Sometimes movies are so not what you expect that you're thrown off and disappointed. The 2nd time around you know what you're in for and can appreciate it more. Toys has its flaws and a bit of a drawn out ending battle, but it has moments of creative brilliance that I absolutely love. I wouldn't call it a favorite, but it classifies as a movie that took a 2nd viewing to love it. Oh, and I just remembered Three Amigos. Hated it in the theater except for the campfire scene. Then I got married and my wife loves it, so I obviously had to watch it again. I couldn't understand why I didn't like it the first time!
Zoolander, used a Christmas gift of a free movie pass for two, went with my then fiance. I remember walking out of the movie at the end and I was grateful I didn't pay my own money to see it. A few years later I was trying to explain the movie to my sister and I was failing at explaining it so we went to rent it from Blockbuster Video and the moment I put in the DVD and the menu came up and Zoolander says, "Welcome to the wonderful world of divid!" I started laughing and I gave it a second chance, loved it and went ahead and bought it the next day. 😁
The first time I watched Princess Mononoke I was fucking terrified. I was about eight, and I could barely sit through the first half hour before I left with my mum. I had nightmares about the crazy boar with tentacles at the beginning of the movie for weeks afterwards.
Then, when I was in high school, a friend recomended it to me and I watched it again. Now I think it's one of the best animated movies ever.
The biggest ones for me were probably Starship Troopers and the live-action Speed Racer. And both were a case of me just not being in the right headspace when I saw them. Particularly StarTroops. One thing people often forget is that NOTHING about the advertising suggested it was a satire. So I went in expecting a relatively straight adaptation of the novel, and so all of the more subtle stuff just went over my head.
And in the case of Speed Racer, the second time I saw it I was high as a kite and then I loved it. And still do.
The Cable Guy: I watched it at the theater and couldn't figure out what the hell to think of it.
But, later on, for some reason, I couldn't wait for it to come out on video so I could watch it again.
Now, I think it's one of Jim Carey's best films of his career.
Pulp Fiction and Training Day because I was 9 when my Dad was watching them... now
Pulp Fiction is one of my favorites. TD is up there too.
Jurassic Park (as a 5 year old I cried when my dad was watching the T-Rex scene on TV). My other one is probably Captain America. I thought it was a boring war film and was a slow starter so turned it off half way through. Its now one of my favourite MCU films and is a contributor in kicking off the best film franchise ever
Tropic Thunder. Though mainly because my Uncle put it on when I was 6 or 7, so the opening scene of someone’s guts leaving their chest, or the laser accurate pint of blood spilling out disturbed me.
Also, despite what you may initially think, he’s the fun uncle of the family. Now I’m disappointed in myself for not liking it, I don’t care that I was barely old enough to ride a bike.
Groundhog Day. No clue why I hated it at first because it is a great film!!!!
🤣🤣🤣 I liked it when it came out, 20 or 30yrs later, found out I consider it crapoy romantic comedy , wouldn't watch it now for the love or money
My movie was Cable Guy. I saw it in the theater and expected it to be more of a thriller. The 2nd time I saw it I loved it. It was all about expectations for me. I’ve seen it many times since.
Its films like Lost in Translation and Sideways for me. Its that complete misunderstanding of what you're watching and you think 'well nothings happening, so why even bother?' But then you sit down a second time to watch the 'drama' that just echoes real life and its like sitting down with old friends. These deeply flawed characters just living their lives and the good and bad that comes with it and realising that THAT is the whole point of the film. To echo these human moments and interactions, even when farcical.
So fun fact Tim's rant from spaced isn't just some hack ragging on a cult film. It's implied multiple times throughout the show that tim enjoys cross dressing and the rant isn't actually about the movie but his fear of accepting that part of himself and how others would see him. He is one who's the sexualy repressed accountant.
Zathura. Saw it in the cinema when it first came out in 2005.
Went years thinking it was boring and bad. Came across it again recently while Channel hopping, and it's not as bad as I remember.
love that ash called out cabin! 🔥🔥👍
Tron Legacy.
Originally I was annoyed with how it different it was. Dark, rocky, and Lightcycles go in straight lines and 90deg angles, not curves!
Did enjoy the soundtrack 1st time :D
I can't think of any movie I "didn't like" the first time, but there are a few movies I just didn't understand the first time, and so didn't think much of them, until I watched them again properly the second time. The first one that immediately springs to mind is Blade Runner. Even though I only saw it twice, the first time I saw it as a teenager I think I was watching it at a friend's house in the middle of the day, and there was a bunch of light and sound distracting me from the film, so I came away from it having no clue what I had just watched, and just accepted that maybe it wasn't the movie for me. The second time was just a couple years ago, and I had heard about how amazing the film actually was, so I bought the fancy Steel-Case Blu-Ray from Best Buy and watched it properly, and enjoyed it way more than my first viewing.
However, one movie I felt like isn't as amazing as everyone says it is (and I've seen it twice) is Vertigo. I think it's a good film. Definitely well-made, but I feel like the whole thing comes to a screeching halt in the second act with this melodramatic love story that I feel like the movie spent too much time on. When the third act hits, and the bizarre obsession stuff comes to light, and this big mystery comes into play, it picks up again. I really enjoy the third act and the ending, and the first act was pretty good, but the middle is where Vertigo really suffers in my mind. I feel like Hitchcock made better films before and since (Rear Window, Rope, and Psycho being some of my favorites).
The first time I saw Close Encounters of the Third Kind I was very young and it bored me because the whole movie was over my head. However I recently rewatched it, and I was absolutely riveted. It's a beautiful movie.
I didn't hate it, but I thought Anchorman was just ok when I first saw it. Now it's one of my favorite movies.
This is a weird one but for me it's Minority Report. I really can't tell you why because i don't know, maybe i was in a bad mood or something but after a second viewing and multiple viewing since then, now i think it's one of the most enjoyable sci-fi's of all time.
Everybody runs. 😁
@@cappyjones great movie
The only movie this happened to me, where watching it the first time and loving it the second time around, was World War Z. The only reason for the was because of Doc of the Dead that actually explained the movie and the concept behind it, that I decided to give it a second watch and then absolutely loved because it made more sense to me. Since then, I've seen the movie about over 50 times, to a point where I've watched it 3x in one day and still do.
Like the reference to Spaced. Shout to Simon Pegg's Tim Bisley.
The voices with Ryan Reynolds me and our lass walked out of the cinema we thought it was really slow but the second time I thought it was brill really sad and chilling
For me, Fantasia. I saw the poster for it outside the local movie theater when I was 10 and it had a huge picture of Mickey Mouse as the Sorcerer's Apprentice. A whole movie of Mickey Mouse? I'm in. Except that it wasn't. It was a movie with 75% flowers and raindrops and like 5% Mickey Mouse. I hated it. I swore I would never see it again. Then many years later I saw it and loved it. Night on Bald Mountain with Chernabog? Magnificent! The whole sequence with the creation of the earth? Amazing! Now I love the film and can appreciate it as art.
4:31
are you fucking joking?!?! first off he didn't get the departed as a teenager, something i managed to do, and i'm younger, then refers to the original as infernal affairs!!
does anybody ever check these videos over?
I never hated these movies, but films such as The Pirates! In An Adventure With Scientists, A. K. A. Band Of Misfits, Megamind, Where The Wild Things Are, and A Monster Calls didn't leave a big impression on me with the first viewings, but I liked them much more with repeated viewings.
The Village is the only movie I've ever changed my mind about
Yeah that one kinda threw me for a loop and I was like wtf was this so I had to watch it like 2 more times before I could really figure it out plus I smoked a ton of weed back then so that didn't help
