Movies you liked as a kid but didn’t realize how great they were

[Mesarthim]

until you were older. Or on the flip movies you didn’t like when you were younger but upon rewatching them learned to appreciate them.

Event Horizon.

Total mindfuck of a movie that I can’t believe I watched as a kid.

‘Sphere’ is another film like that.


I’ll try to think of some others.

In the same vein as event horizon. I saw dark city in theaters, knew it was good but didn't get it till I saw 10ish years later.

Event Horizon I was kinda hoping there was gonna be a sequel to that.

i could appreciate it all the movies as a kid

more often what has happened is when i revisit things, not just movies, but videogames too, as an older man, i am often like

Oh man there are tons more anime that fit this but strictly sticking to movies:

The shining - hated it when I saw it at 12 now it is my favorite movie

Dr Strangelove - hated it realky did nit understand it now im warming up to it

I need to rewatch brazil another movie i hated in middle school. There are Probably others I can’t think of at the moment.

i think my movie-watching as a kid was overwhelmingly conventional and i can't imagine there's much in there that a reappraisal would benefit

if we're talking like, high school age, i dunno i remember mostly being indifferent to the peter jacksons and john waters at the time. maybe those could use revisiting

but i'm more interested in watching stuff i haven't seen already

Last time watching with my mum I realised The Sound of Music has a WW2 backstory. It' s mr. Von Trapp fighting the anschluss. Those nazis were tricky lying cunts and not all austrians were willing
The Sound of Music, not well liked But the last time it was fun
