MOVIES YOU LIKED A LOT BETTER AFTER 2 OR MORE VIEWINGS

THERE WILL BE BLOOD - Thought it was the most boring shit ever after hearing all the hype. Caught it a time or 2 afterwards on HBO and "got it." Proceeded to watch it several more times whenever I caught it on and think it deserves every ounce of hype it got.

BURN AFTER READING - Caught this at the movies and was pissed at myself for watching it. Caught it again on HBO and wound up getting the humor the 2nd & 3rd time around. Find it actually a pretty good movie with decent rewatchability and underrated performances and humor.

STREET KINGS - I thought this was a pretty good movie the first time around, but after multiple viewings I think it's one of the best cop movies out there and should be listed up there with cop films like Training Day and Narc. I love nearly all of the dialouge and especially the performances by Whitaker and "gasp" Keanu.

HANCOCK/IROBOT/I AM LEGEND/CONSTANTINE - All those movies I felt the same about on the first viewing. Thought they were okay but not worth watching again. I wound up watching them all several more times and feel they all have good rewatchability and I enjoy them every time.

SNAKE EYES - Thought it kind of sucked the first time. But seeing it the second time helped you understand it a bit better I guess. Either way I used to absolutely love to watch this movie and have seen it several times. Vastly underrated.

 

Mean Streets
The Big Lebowski
Pulp Fiction
Fargo

 

I saw Apocalypse Now Redux, then the original.

The original is way better without all that unnecessary bullshit.

 

Most comedies such as Anchorman, Step Brothers, and 40 Year Old Virgin

 

Un Prophete- probably beacuse of all the hype it got as "this generation's Godfather". I was slightly let down by it, but on second viewing I enjoyed it immensely. Erratic, did you see this one?

 

No. I have it somewhere on AVI, I just haven't gotten around to watching it.
