I brought this up in another thread. My opinions of movies generally stay the same, at least with movies I had a strong opinion about the first time. I can't really think of anything off the top of my head to go with this thread, The Matrix I guess.

Hated Eyes Wide Shut when it came out.

Think it's brilliant now.

Indiana Jones. Don't even remember which part, but I really didn't like it when I was a kid, nowadays I love all of them (the old ones).

I hated Fight Club (braces for thrown rotten veggies)

It wasn't even that it was a bad movie, I just don't like a film being billed as one thing and actually contextually being something else... such as a drama with a few funny moments being hailed as "the next big comedy" and they literally show every comedic beat in the trailers. And don't get me started on the phrase "thriller/thrill-ride"...

When it came out, I thought it was terrible because it was hyped as an action flick and not one man's decent into madness. If I knew that going in, I would have been in the long line of people who have subsequently sucked off that movie as one of the greatest things ever filmed. With things being as they were, I was bored with it and felt gyp'd at the time.

Had an opposite reaction to Fight Club...

I had seen the trailers, and had thought it was just some dumb action movie about dudes beating each other up. So I didn't watch it for years, until in university we watched it in some film class, and I was surprised by the content of it, and loved it.

American Psycho. Didn't understand it back then really, but now it is utterly brilliant.

I had myself convinced at 18 that "Superman Returns" was a brilliant film - I think I just really liked what Singer was trying to do (building off of Superman 2, using the classic score, etc) and wanted so badly for it to work. I can't stand watching that piece of crap now.

I really disliked "Donnie Darko" the first time I saw it. I guess I was just so thrown by the seeming randomness of the whole thing and the very weird ending. I looked at it as a movie "trying too hard to be weird", like a director trying to be David Lynch and failing miserably. After some subsequent viewings and conversations about the film with some friends, I've come to appreciate and love it.
