Reservoir Dogs

I was pretty young at the time and I didn't understand why someone would make a movie and leave out a crucial scene (diamond heist)

3/18/2008 7:59:37 PM

I thought Return of the King was a huge let down when I first saw it, but I've enjoyed it more and more each time I watch it.

3/18/2008 8:00:12 PM

Yeah...I need to watch Reservoir Dogs again. I didn't necessarily not like it...I just didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would.

^ complete opposite for me. At first viewing I liked it, afterwards couldn't stand it.

3/18/2008 9:42:49 PM

we keep on truckin' with k-billy's super sounds of the seventies weekend

3/18/2008 10:18:58 PM

American Psycho, i hated it when i first saw it. now i love it, and it gets better each time i see it

3/18/2008 10:19:49 PM

at first i wasn't really a fan of 'ferris bueller's day off'

now it's pretty much a classic.

3/18/2008 10:28:03 PM

The Royal Tenenbaums

although i loved all his other movies on the first time around

3/18/2008 10:34:49 PM

^ i'll agree here. didn't think it was nearly as good the first time around.

but that is really a GREAT movie.

3/18/2008 10:49:43 PM

Fight Club. First time I saw it was when I was still being home schooled, and I had not yet met anyone who had not been in a fight. I didn't get what the big deal was...

3/18/2008 10:58:04 PM

Bourne Identity

3/18/2008 11:04:05 PM

Harold and Kumar

at first, I was like...what is the point of this retarded movie

now, I'm like...what is the point of this retarded movie and why am i laughing

3/18/2008 11:26:55 PM

big lebowski.

now i know what i've been missing.

3/18/2008 11:35:28 PM

I thought Taxi Driver was boring the first time I saw it, and the second time I saw it, I thought it was one of the best movies I'd ever seen.

i remembered it coming out a long time ago and wanting to see it. randomly rented it from blockbuster the other night. pretty good.

3/18/2008 11:39:18 PM

^^ Taxi Driver was an excellent movie, I think.

I hated Boondock Saints the first time I saw it. Then I watched it again and thought the beginning was dumb as fuck but it all came together well in the end.

This is actually how i felt about SuperTroopers.

Usually if I think it's bad on a first viewing I'll still think it's bad on any subsequent viewing. My take?

Movies that at first you thought were bad...

then you got together with your friends that really liked it so you decided it wasn't all that bad after all.

3/19/2008 7:01:25 AM

Ocean's Twelve

Zoolander

3/19/2008 7:59:04 AM

i thought o brother where art thou was horrible the first time i saw it. now it's in my top 10.

actually thats wrong, for me at least
i saw friday and pulp fiction during all that hype and hated them both
then saw it again and loved, they both were such a change of pace for a movie that i didnt get it at first

3/19/2008 9:03:41 AM

im like the OP, I didnt finish Pulp Fiction the first time, now its one of my favorites.

3/19/2008 9:03:51 AM

*obligatory "you people just don't get the director's vision" post*

3/19/2008 9:21:18 AM

Natural Born Killers and Pulp Fiction. I guess it's just Quentin Tarantino's style. I didn't really care for it back in high school, but as an adult I appreciate it more.

3/19/2008 10:07:01 AM

^^^^^^^^ Not sure if you meant to write it like that, but NBKillers is an Oliver Stone movie.

3/19/2008 10:15:42 AM

you only needed one ^

3/19/2008 10:35:10 AM

i loved gataca from the first time i saw it

i actually used a scene from it for a presentation in my industrial psychology class

3/19/2008 10:37:57 AM

Talladega Nights gets better every time I see it. Anchorman was like that too for a while, but not any more. not that I didn't like them.

I saw Dr. Strangelove when I was mad young and didn't really "get" it I guess, but I watched it monday and <3 it.

3/19/2008 10:49:08 AM

god its so odd that you all list Pulp Fiction. I remember when it came out me and some friends went to see it and it blew our fucking minds because it was soooo different, so fresh, especially compared to all the other shit that was out at the time. Had never heard dialog like that before, I was hanging on every word throughout the whole movie, cant even imagine someone not watching it to the finish.

we cut it off during the hotel scene, although we were watching it with my friends parents, but to this day that scene is still stupid to me
"will you give me oral pleasure"
"will you kiss it"

whatever

the sad thing is i think the bruce willis story was the only one written by quintine, the others were written by the other guy, forgot his name

3/19/2008 11:04:22 AM

the golden watch plot was written by Roger Avary

I didnt even like it that much :x I know tons of people who love it and Im not trying to knock it at all. Ive just never gotten into it. Ive seen it about 4 or 5 times total id guess.

3/19/2008 11:48:02 AM

third The Royal Tannenbaums

also - i was not the biggest fan of OfficeSpace when I first saw it.....but I think that had more to do with the fact that I was like a freshman in highschool the first time I saw it and couldnt really relate to it.

3/19/2008 11:51:43 AM

Napoleon Dynamite
I thought O' Brother Where Art Thou was ok at first, now it is probably my favorite movie
Fargo gets better each time I watch it
No Country for Old Men also gets better each time
Talledega Nights gets better each time as well

Only movie I can really think of is Anchorman. Something about that character really stuck on my mind.
