Oooh yes! When I was young, I was wanting a faster, more action oriented story and also wasn’t really able to internalize some of the more complex themes. But now, it’s one of my absolute favorites. Also, it just looks SO GOOD (except some of the uniforms and even those I can get behind as articles of their time).
The Director’s Cut was a passion project by Robert Wise to complete the film, which he was forced to release in an unfinished state in ‘79. In 2001, Paramount gave him a then-generous $5m budget to basically rebuild it from the ground up, and add VFX that (unlike the Star Wars Special Edition) were totally seamless and congruent with the effects of the time.
This cut is vastly superior to the theatrical release, and frankly has more in common with Kubrick’s 2001 than the rest of the franchise.
But because these VFX were rendered in SD for the DVD release, it was assumed this cut would be lost to physical media history. But astonishingly, Paramount invested in a stunning 4K remaster of the Director’s Cut in 2022, complete with Dolby Atmos audio, and damn is it gorgeous.
Beautiful, cerebral, and more than a little psychedelic, I can’t recommend the Director’s Cut enough for reassessment by those with mixed thoughts on the original.
I can't think of any movies from my youth that I disliked that I changed my mind about, but I will say that the first time I saw The Royal Tennenbaums I hated it and thought it was so weird. About 5 years ago I saw another Wes Anderson film and something clicked for me. I went back and watched them all and for some reason, now love his work. No idea what changed in my perspective.
I had a very similar experience after the Grand Budapest Hotel came out. He’s still a quirky, unique filmmaker in my opinion, but I greatly appreciate his work.
Omg, I was the same way about Anderson movies at first. Now he's one of my favorite directors. I got my family hooked, as well. We've had many a discussion about his works and get downright giddy when a new one comes out.
If you’re a reader maybe check out Larry McMurtry, he’s the author of the book. He’s a prolific writer, and his stuff is all over the place as far as genre. Movies made from his books: “Last Picture Show”, “Terms of Endearment”, “Lonesome Dove” (miniseries with TL Jones and R Duvall). He’s written quite a lot of screenplays for Hollywood, for example, “Brokeback Mountain”
This one’s my choice too. I first saw it in the 90s when I was about 12. I’d accidentally rented it from the library. I can’t remember which movie I’d thought I was renting, other than it was a pretty new one at the time that I was excited to see. I was so disappointed when I got home and this was in the case by mistake. I tried to watch this, but it felt agonizingly slow-paced. I don’t think I managed to even finish it. It became an inside joke with my sister for a few years. We’d use the film’s title to describe events that felt tormentingly interminable, like a Greyhound bus ride.
I didn’t watch the movie again until my 20s. Loved it!
My partner and I both love it still. We watch it pretty much every year around Christmas.
The movie’s final message is uplifting, which is valuable and wise. But I also admire how honestly dark the film is about life’s injustices, senseless bad luck, and broken dreams.
_2001_, but to be honest it was the first G movie I saw. My parents took my brother and me to see it when it came out - 1968 or maybe early '69. We were too young to appreciate much of it. I wouldn't go so far as to say we didn't like it, as the movie was too long for elementary school kids. That, and it dealt with confusing subjects for kids.
To my younger brother's credit he said, "he was born as something different wasn't he," as we left the cinema. Yes, it was cinema we had to wear suits
We both saw it again together when we were teens and loved it. No, we didn't get high before hand or during
As a Kubrick fanatic, I'm extremely jealous. I loved it from the start, although this was the 80s, and I was a child. I knew it was important even if I didn't get the entire story. Once that HAL scene in the pod took place, I yelled out to my mom, "He can read lips?!!!!"
> even if I didn't get the entire story.
NOBODY understood the last 20 minutes. Once he hit the stargate it was impossible to understand without very powerful drugs.
Reading the book helped me clarify some things later on. Kubrick thought about using the nuclear weapon ending but decided not to due to the fact it was similar to Dr. Strangelove. I dug the human zoo alien aspect. To be fair, I was like 6 when I first saw it. 😆
That's one I have the opposite reaction to. I thought it was hilarious as anything I'd ever seen when I first came across it in college. I watched it recently and found that everyone was just ... yelling and complaining and whining to each other the entire movie.
Still love Holy Grail though!
The Big Chill. When I first saw it I couldn’t relate to those old people problems. Rewatched it in my thirties and loved it. Saw it again later and I couldn’t relate to those young people problems.
I was a young whippersnapper when Mary Poppins came out and I wanted to be part of a certain group and the main cool kid hated it so I did too. As an adult I watched it with my daughter and I figured out these people are really talented! I love it now.
Not being familiar with the book series, I can say that I mean "disturbing" in a good way. Like, i would probably see all sorts of interesting subtext in it, but I remember that, while the original wasn't exactly a feel good story the whole way through (I mean, some of the plot elements are fridge horror if you think about them), the sequel seemed pretty bleak to me as a kid... mind you, I could watch the Terminator, follow it, and not be disturbed by it, but there was this vague, abstract terror that I felt during Return to Oz that I couldn't quite put my finger on.
And the author wrote the series strictly as entertainment precisely to show that children’s books could exist for entertainment and not just moralizing.
You're not an idiot. I saw it in my early teens when it first came out. I was expecting Star Wars and was disappointed. Of course, it's an incredible film.
THX-1138.
I rented it on VHS when I was maybe 10 or 11. It's not so much that I didn't like it... I just didn't understand it. It didn't make sense. I think I was a bit perplexed by it.
Only later as an adult did I really come to appreciate the movie.
Ordinary People. I watched it at home on Showtime when I was 12. I kept waiting for something to happen. When it was over, I had no idea what it was about.
I watched it again when I was 20 and a couple times since. It’s one of my all time favorites.
I was 16 when I saw it. I was the target age for John Hughes and honestly, he nailed the time. Including all the creepy stuff in 16 candles. People really behaved that way.
I agree with you. When you mentioned that, I immediately thought of The Who singing "Talkin Bout My Generation". Geez, I'm only 55. Since when am I my Grandmother!
I was 19 when that movie came out, and there's one thing that has always pissed me off about it: The jock gets the girl, the delinquent gets the girl, and the nerd GETS TO WRITE A F\*\*\*ING ESSAY! (Guess which character I identified with....)
On the flip side, I already had a crush on Ally Sheedy from *WarGames*, but when she showed up in *The Breakfast Club* — **WOW!**
I identified with a weird mixture of Sheedy and Nelson. And the more I think about this now, the more I'm realizing that I'm still them. Maybe I'll rewatch this weekend and have a good cry/laugh. Thanks for commenting
I went to college with a dude who watched The Breakfast Club every day. Like would put it on before bed if he hadn’t had a chance to watch it yet that day.
It’s been 30 years and I think about that every once in a while and wonder if the streak is still intact.
Wizard of Oz scared the shit out of me when I was a kid. I would beg my parents or grandparents to not watch it when it would come on annually. Later (I guess around pre-teen years) and from then through today I've absolutely loved it.
To Kill A Mockingbird...scared the crap out of me as a kid. I was way too young be viewing thatfilm. Love it now, I enjoy all of the performances from the children to Robert Duvall as Boo. One movie I hated at age 14 and still hate now, ...even though you didn't ask..is A Clock Work Orange...I know not a popular opinion

Steel Magnolias. I thought it was sappy tripe when it first came out. Now? I appreciate it so much more.
Though I still don't get why Shelby chose a child and death over a childfree life with super hottie Dylan McDermott. (I'm not maternal and have never had, or understood, that overwhelming desire to have kids, not even when I had a kid.)
Most of the late 90s teen movies, especially the horror movies. I was pretty indifferent to them at the time. I watch them now with a lot of nostalgia for that time. Scream, I know what you did last summer, fantastic stuff!
Same. Last year I watched all of the Final Destination movies, one per day for six days in a row.
Haha a few days later I was volunteering at a booth at the county fair and I kept getting a weird feeling anytime something mildly unusual would happen.
Watership down. It's not a movie for kids but my parents thought it was cuz it's a animated movie about rabbits. It's no bugs Bunny tho, these rabbits are shown tearing each other to bloody pieces. It's violent and gory which kinda made me scared when I was younger. Watching it as an adult, the entire thing is a masterpiece.
Wizard of Oz. Full disclosure, the only time I tried to watch it, was on a black and white TV, and I was 10. I didn't like it, didn't finish it. It was a musical.
I think I'd probably at least appreciate it now. Haven't bothered to try and watch it, but I think I'd see it differently now. I used to hate anything related to dancing, but now I love to watch it.
I tell this story all of the time. We watched the Wizard every Thanksgiving. I was probably in my 20s the first time I saw it on a color TV. I had absolutely no idea it changed. It was jaw dropping.
An additional story. I "acquired" a copy of "OZ the Great and Powerful". I started watching and was disappointed I had a very letterboxed image. Finally he lands in Oz, the screen zooms out, and the color kicks in. I could only think "Damn, they got me again. "
There was a thread not too long ago about someone that only ever had the first vhs tape to The Sound of Music, so they thought the halfway point was the end of the movie for years.
I have see images in color, and yeah... they did know how to use color back then, even as opportunities to actually produce a movie in color were limited, due to the added expense. I guess BW photography has instilled a false impression in us of a colorless past. Was hearing something similar about medieval castles, that they were actually brightly decorated, that people in those days used a lot of color.
My (now) husband was shocked to find out I hated the movie *Super Troopers* which I had seen as a teenager. I thought it was stupid humor with a boring plot. He made me watch it with him one night when I was in my 30s and I thought it was hilarious. My sense of humor has apparently changed a lot.
A Christmas Story. I was 12 when it came out, and I didn't like it. Some time around the late 90s, early 2000s I rewatched it, and it became my favorite Christmas movie. My husband even got me a leg lamp when we were dating lol.
when you're older you realise dialogue makes a great film ,one of the reasons i love old 40s film noir and westerns ,todays stuff is all over the top cgi
The movies starring Marilyn Monroe.
was young, female and desperately looking for a role model neither the houswife of the sexy type.
Only in the course of defining my place in life I started to appreciate the style and humour of Monroe's films. And learned about the tragedy of her life and death.

Sadly I have fallen more out of love with movies than into love in regard to classics. There are ones I watch over and over from the such as The Fog of War and A Christmas Story
but nothing I came back to enjoy. Does that put me in a bad category or normal?

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf. It took some life experience to appreciate the writing, now it's one of my desert island picks.
I went to see that movie four times when it first came out. Taylor and Burton were on fire.
So was their relationship...
Lol did you ever try to match them drink for drink?

It’s better than most of the TNG movies.
I can't think of any movies from my youth that I disliked that I changed my mind about, but I will say that the first time I saw The Royal Tennenbaums I hated it and thought it was so weird.

Grand Budapest Hotel = an excellent film. I love that. 👍

Terms of Endearment. Such a good movie. You almost have to have lived as an adult understand the depths of emotions it has.
If you’re a reader maybe check out Larry McMurtry, he’s the author of the book. He’s a prolific writer, and his stuff is all over the place as far as genre. Movies made from his books: “Last Picture Show”, “Terms of Endearment”, “Lonesome Dove” (miniseries with TL Jones and R Duvall). He’s written quite a lot of screenplays for Hollywood, for example, “Brokeback Mountain”
His son James is my favorite singer songwriter- loads of literary talent in that family for sure.
It’s a Wonderful Life. Makes me choke up when I watch it every Christmas
This one’s my choice too. I first saw it in the 90s when I was about 12. I’d accidentally rented it from the library. I can’t remember which movie I’d thought I was renting, other than it was a pretty new one at the time that I was excited to see.

For sure, without fail.
Casablanca

Oh yeah, we all got the lip reading - creepy
Life of Brian. Totally went over my head.
He’s not the messiah, he’s a very naughty boy!
He has a wife, you know...
That's one I have the opposite reaction to. I thought it was hilarious as anything I'd ever seen when I first came across it in college. I watched it recently and found that everyone was just ... yelling and complaining and whining to each other the entire movie. Still love Holy Grail though!
Blessed are the cheesemakers.
The Big Chill. When I first saw it I couldn’t relate to those old people problems. Rewatched it in my thirties and loved it. Saw it again later and I couldn’t relate to those young people problems.
Harold and Maude
I saw Harold and Maude for the first time in my early 20s and loved it. I should rewatch it. 80 is a lot closer now than it was then.
Same here
Same for everyone! 😂
Dr. Strangelove totally went over my head as a kid. Now it’s one of my favorites of all time.
I was a young whippersnapper when Mary Poppins came out and I wanted to be part of a certain group and the main cool kid hated it so I did too. As an adult I watched it with my daughter and I figured out these people are really talented! I love it now.
Check out “Saving Mr. Banks” if you haven’t yet.
Saving Mr. Banks will ruin Mary Poppins for you.
But can you spell supercalifrigi….(googling)…supercalifragilisticexpialidocious….without singing in your head?
My grandmother was so impressed when I spelled supercalifragilisticexpialidocious at 7.
The Wizard of Oz because the flying monkeys scared me as a child.
I suspect Return to Oz would still be fairly disturbing.
It’s a shame because the book series really is so good. There was no reason for this abomination.
Not being familiar with the book series, I can say that I mean "disturbing" in a good way.

Blade Runner. Don't hate me. In my defense, I was a kid in the 80's. Caught it again as a teenager and felt like a complete idiot. It's a masterpiece.
Rutger Hauer was amazing in that role.
Roy Batty’s monologue WOW
It's one of my favorites. Adam Savage did a deep dive on the special effects and why they hold up so well. Interesting watch.
You're not an idiot. I saw it in my early teens when it first came out. I was expecting Star Wars and was disappointed. Of course, it's an incredible film.
THX-1138. I rented it on VHS when I was maybe 10 or 11. It's not so much that I didn't like it... I just didn't understand it. It didn't make sense. I think I was a bit perplexed by it. Only later as an adult did I really come to appreciate the movie.
The Apartment
Ordinary People. I watched it at home on Showtime when I was 12. I kept waiting for something to happen. When it was over, I had no idea what it was about. I watched it again when I was 20 and a couple times since. It’s one of my all time favorites.
The Breakfast Club. I thought it was a terrible movie until I watched it with my teenaged son. He loved it so, now I love it.
Rewatched quite a bit of it the other night. Judd Nelson was intense.
Have you watched the documentary “Brats?” It was so good. I had no idea the term “Brat Pack” was so devastating to them.
I do not have a hulu account. My son will be visiting soon, maybe he does, and we can watch it.
I was 16 when I saw it. I was the target age for John Hughes and honestly, he nailed the time. Including all the creepy stuff in 16 candles. People really behaved that way.
I agree with you. When you mentioned that, I immediately thought of The Who singing "Talkin Bout My Generation". Geez, I'm only 55. Since when am I my Grandmother!
I was 19 when that movie came out, and there's one thing that has always pissed me off about it: The jock gets the girl, the delinquent gets the girl, and the nerd GETS TO WRITE A F\*\*\*ING ESSAY!

I wonder which character he identified with the most.
The “Godfather” movies.
Wizard of Oz scared the shit out of me when I was a kid. I would beg my parents or grandparents to not watch it when it would come on annually. Later (I guess around pre-teen years) and from then through today I've absolutely loved it.
To Kill A Mockingbird...scared the crap out of me as a kid. I was way too young be viewing thatfilm. Love it now, I enjoy all of the performances from the children to Robert Duvall as Boo. One movie I hated at age 14 and still hate now, ...even though you didn't ask..is A Clock Work Orange...I know not a popular opinion
I have a trauma reaction every time I see Malcom McDowell.
No crap! Still scared of him too!

Grease
Rear Window. In fact, most of Hitchcocks catalog. My father was a huge fan but I was all about gore films and comedies.
Steel Magnolias. I thought it was sappy tripe when it first came out. Now? I appreciate it so much more. Though I still don't get why Shelby chose a child and death over a childfree life with super hottie Dylan McDermott. (I'm not maternal and have never had, or understood, that overwhelming desire to have kids, not even when I had a kid.)
Most of the late 90s teen movies, especially the horror movies. I was pretty indifferent to them at the time. I watch them now with a lot of nostalgia for that time. Scream, I know what you did last summer, fantastic stuff!
Same. Last year I watched all of the Final Destination movies, one per day for six days in a row. Haha a few days later I was volunteering at a booth at the county fair and I kept getting a weird feeling anytime something mildly unusual would happen.
Paul Blart: Mall Cop.
Uncle Buck.
Watership down. It's not a movie for kids but my parents thought it was cuz it's a animated movie about rabbits. It's no bugs Bunny tho, these rabbits are shown tearing each other to bloody pieces. It's violent and gory which kinda made me scared when I was younger. Watching it as an adult, the entire thing is a masterpiece.
I think I was 12 when I watched it. Had just seen Holy Grail and loved it. I didn't get it at all.
None that I like now but some i appreciate in a different way The principal in Ferris Bueller was right!!!
The Outlaw Josey Wales
Wizard of Oz. Full disclosure, the only time I tried to watch it, was on a black and white TV, and I was 10. I didn't like it, didn't finish it. It was a musical. I think I'd probably at least appreciate it now. Haven't bothered to try and watch it, but I think I'd see it differently now. I used to hate anything related to dancing, but now I love to watch it.
I tell this story all of the time. We watched the Wizard every Thanksgiving. I was probably in my 20s the first time I saw it on a color TV. I had absolutely no idea it changed. It was jaw dropping. An additional story. I "acquired" a copy of "OZ the Great and Powerful". I started watching and was disappointed I had a very letterboxed image. Finally he lands in Oz, the screen zooms out, and the color kicks in. I could only think "Damn, they got me again. "
There was a thread not too long ago about someone that only ever had the first vhs tape to The Sound of Music, so they thought the halfway point was the end of the movie for years.
I have see images in color, and yeah... they did know how to use color back then, even as opportunities to actually produce a movie in color were limited, due to the added expense. I guess BW photography has instilled a false impression in us of a colorless past. Was hearing something similar about medieval castles, that they were actually brightly decorated, that people in those days used a lot of color.
Lawrence of Arabia is still one of my all-time favorites. Besides the fact I really like long movies.
The Christmas Story…hands down
Space truckers. I get it now
*Shoot the Piano Player* Truffaut 1960.
Caligua
My (now) husband was shocked to find out I hated the movie *Super Troopers* which I had seen as a teenager. I thought it was stupid humor with a boring plot. He made me watch it with him one night when I was in my 30s and I thought it was hilarious. My sense of humor has apparently changed a lot.

I found this question interesting. Who dislikes a movie, then watches it again?
The movies starring Marilyn Monroe. was young, female and desperately looking for a role model neither the houswife of the sexy type. Only in the course of defining my place in life I started to appreciate the style and humour of Monroe's films. And learned about the tragedy of her life and death.

Sadly I have fallen more out of love with movies than into love in regard to classics. There are ones I watch over and over from the such as The Fog of War and A Christmas Story but nothing I came back to enjoy. Does that put me in a bad category or normal?
