I thought that Borat was the funniest thing I'd ever seen but after watching it for the second, third and fourth time it just loses it's charm. I funny doesn't hold up with repeat viewings.
Second viewing goodness (or badness)

I think I do this with about every girly teen movie I've ever watched. (Drive Me Crazy, Center Stage, etc.) They just...keep coming on and I finding myself remembering the lines...and they aren't even really that good...it's one of the obsessive guilty pleasure things I guess.

Mission to Mars, Hated it the first time I saw it, and then loved it the second time I saw it. The first time I saw it, I was coming back from a 13 hour flight from Europe, and thought the movie was a pile of crap... But then when I got home, I rented it and thought it was great.

i wouldn't know about a second viewing of any film.....i only watch a film once......i know what i like and don't like the first time around.....there's just to many new films to watch each and every week, without revisiting the past...once again i'm dancing to a different drummer......

The Hunt for Red October - When I saw this the first time, I absolutely hated it and wondered what all the hype was about.
Now, almost 15 years later, I can appreciate the movie for what it is saying about standing up and doing (what you consider) the right things no matter the cost. Especially, when the cost of not doing something could be so high (as in a nuclear holocoust in this case).
Gladiator - I've said it before, and I will say it again... I think you have to be a certain age to really appreciate what this movie is saying in terms of its themes which encompass both large scale ideals and personal morals as well.
I think Gladiator is even more relevant today if you live in the United States as we are considered the modern day Roman Empire and it looks like we're also on the brink of falling due to corruption, greed and arrogance just like the empire that Maximums is tasked with restoring to its former glory.

The title says it all. Let's talk about movies that you:
A) Loved the first time and loathed the second time you watched it.
B) Absolutely hated but a cosmic conspiracy managed to make you watch it again and you ended up loving it.
C) Didn't care for and then you found out -- I love/hate this movie!
You get the point
FilmCritic.com has a list of 20 Films That Deserve Another Look and I think we should do the same, well, not really. But we can still talk about it.
I'll begin.
Gladiator - You can't even beging to understand my past hatred for this film. It was like making me sit through an episode of Smallville or worse! Then I had to watch it from beginning to end for a college course and what do you know? I now own the DVD and practically know the dialogue by heart. I love it SOOO much now. Great movie.
