Movies you liked better after seeing it a 2nd time
What are some movies that you thought were just ok or good, but not great the first time you saw it and after seeing the film more you began to really like the film much more.
For me its Minority Report which I liked the first time I saw it in the theater, but did not see the masterpiece many critics were calling it. Once I got the dvd, I was just blown away and started to like more and more where its one of my most watched dvds of recent months.

Matrix - didn't like it the first time in the theatre, now it's one of my favorite action movies.
Unbreakable - all I could think about was how boring it was. Now I love the story as whole. What an awesome take on the superhero genre.

Boogie Nights: "Appreciated" it the first time mostly as *giggle* *snort* "a flick about a pornstar with a horsecock." Got much more emotionally involved after repeated viewings.
X-Men: Kinda sorta enjoyed it the first time, but something held me back. Saw it again recently, and would probably bump my rating up by half a star.

DVD Talk Hero - 2023 TOTY Award Winner
The Big Lebowski. I hated it the first time I watched it, to the point that I couldn't even finish it.
I now recognize it for the masterful cinematic achievement that it is.
Dude.

Unforgiven
Once Upon a Time in America but only because I first saw the horrible mangled short version in the theater. When the long version was released about six months later I went and saw a masterpiece.

I am with you 100% on this one and would add Fargo to the list.

DVD Talk Ultimate Edition
Black Hawk Down
The first time around I was so shell shocked from the intense combat scenes I couldn't figure out whether I liked it or not. The second time I paid more attention and came away with one of the best theatrical experiences I've ever had.

All of these I kind of liked when I first saw them, but after subsequent viewings I have realized their genius
Big Lebowski
South Park BLU
The Frighteners
Almost Famous
Cable Guy
Not genius, but a heck of a lot better
Unbreakable

As a child/young teen in the mid-80s, with eyes all a'goggle at anything with the name "Spielberg" attached to it, I was wholly unimpressed with a vintage-style chick flick called THE COLOR PURPLE (hey, this ain't no Indiana Jones!)...seeing it again some ten years or so later, I instantly realized it was nothing less than a masterpiece, like virtually everything the man touches...damn genius...I'd curse him if I didn't admire him and his work so much, he he...

The Sixth Sense.
A bunch of people I know had hyped it up as being super scary, when I saw it the first time I was like "WTF? That wasn't scary at all."
Then after seeing it again and just watching it for what it was and loved it.

I would say The 5th Element. Saw it in theaters and I liked it. I have the DVD and it is now one of my favorite flicks.
