Is there a movie you've learned to appreciate?

I mean, a movie you’ve watched in the past and disliked, for whatever reason. But then, you may have seen it later, and decided that it was pretty cool after all.

What movie was it, why did you not like it? And why do you like it now? What changed?

For example, I watched Conan the Destroyer last night. I had no idea what movie to watch, so I go, what the hell. I’ve been watching the first Arnold Conan movie since I was 10, always loved it. But I never liked the second one. It’s on the same disc as the first movie, so I’m watching it…what I didn’t like was that it’s nowhere near as epic as the first, the acting is terrible, it’s campy and too much of it seems like humor. But these things are what I ended up loving about it last night. I haven’t watched it in years, so I do not know what changed in me that made me like what I previously didn’t like about it. But…that’s that. I typically love bad movies though, especially if it’s low budget horror… but this is Conan. Hell I even changed my avatar here in honor of my new found love for the movie.

I also didn’t remember this movie having so much action and monsters and crap in it. Destroyer drops all the ambiance, cuts to the chase and just gets right in there…in a way, that fits the Conan character pretty damn well.

Oh, and Zula ftw!

Anyways. That’s my answer. So, you? Feel free to add more than one movie if you have more than one for this question, and TV shows count as well.
