What was a movie that took more than one viewing to love and understand it much more?

Submitted by Provav t3_z3lve3 in movies

For me, it has to be Boogie Nights (1997) When I first watched it, I thought it was fun movie but nothing more but when I watched it again, I realized this movie has everything. Great acting, editing, soundtrack, cinematography, has comedy, action, sex, drugs and has a deeper meaning of the importance of family and human companionship. Watching Dr. Octopus dancing to Jessie’s Girl while buying drugs is kind of badass. What’s your pick?

Big Lebowski. I either didn’t understand it or felt like I was left out of several inside jokes when I first watched it. It almost left a bad taste in my mouth until a few months later when I had an itch to watch it again. And when I did, everything just clicked

That to me is the defining feature of most Coen brothers movies. On first watch they strike you as kind of funny/strange but nothing special. But something sticks with you and if you watch it again it really opens up and then gets better with each subsequent rewatch.

This happened to me with No Country for Old Men. I was so busy watching LLewelyn and the sherriff I did not really pay attention to Anton Chigurgh, who is really the, for lack of a better word, 'heart' of the movie.

I saw the movie at the theater in 98 ,I was like What the hell am I watching? 5 years later a buddy from work tells me that he was on the floor laughing watching the big Lebowski ! What ? How ? Why ? Ok get a grip ! So got a DVD of the movie and holy crap it was hilarious ! 😂 ! It is now among my favorite movies !

I had a very similar experience. They showed us a sneak preview of it while I was in college and when it was over I wondered what the hell I just watched. I didn't think it was funny, I didn't think it had a story, it was just 2 hours of my life.

A couple years later for whatever reason I decided to give it another try and I liked it a little bit more, but I still didn't think it was good. It took about three viewings for everything to click and then I thought it was a masterpiece.

Word, me too. I'd seen Miller's Crossing, Blood Simple, Barton Fink and Fargo and was expecting another taut, tight, beautiful, complex, layered plot that would blow me away and what I got (to me that first time) was an aimless mess that meandered hither and thither before sort of petering out and just grinding slowly to a halt and then some credits. Silly characters and set pieces but it seemed slapdash and dumb. Random. Like they rolled the dice and failed. Like the magic had left their creative powers. SUPER disappointed.

Then two years later after listening to everyone rave about it, I was like "Man, what am I missing?" and watched it again only to go "OOOOOOHhhhhh, I get it now. Right. Great film." It's probably the only film I've had that experience with, I think. Or at least the one that I did the biggest 180 on.

I'm 100 percent with you on this one. I was a big Sci fi fan going in the first time, and thought I knew what to expect. It ended up being so different than I expected that I didn't really like it at first. Since then, I've come to realize just how great it is. It's a rare occasion where the movie is also significantly superior to the movie for me.

Pjoernrachzarck t1_ixqb842 wrote

This is the answer. I don’t think anyone’s first viewing of Blade Runner is their favorite. It’s just… too much to take in, too dense with all that is going on, and yet maybe a little too bare on plot to fully propel you inside before it is over.

But watch it again, and maybe just a little less focused on surprises and twists and revelations, just to experience what they created there - there is absolutely nothing like it, and probably never will be. Every time I rewatch it, I want it to go slower, for all the things that it gives you.

Jackie Brown also gets better the older you get. Not saying you need to be old to get it, but having at least a perspective on aging is invaluable. A lot of stuff in this movie doesn't register until you realise everyone is way too old to be doing what they're doing and are kind of stuck in their life.

It's not just Jackie and Max. Even stoner hoe Melissa and 21 Jump Street impression cop Ray Nicolette should have outgrown their shit, but haven't for one reason or another.

I know not understanding a David Lynch movie on the first go-around is nothing particularly unusual, but it took me a very long time to understand Lost Highway. Hell, for all I know I still don't, but at least I know I really enjoy it now. I just kept giving it another try, after another try because I think the soundtrack is one of the best ever. And eventually I started putting all the pieces together.

This happens to me with certain comedies. In particularly “The 40 Yr Old Virgin”.

Similar thing happened with “The Other Guys”.

But when I watched it the second time, it was so obvious how much at the top of their game everybody in it was.

You could show the photo to any movie fan and they’d have no idea it was Cusack behind the hat & glasses. What a dick.

Also, to reply directly to OP's choice of boogie nights, that was another one that didn't click for me. I think in my case, that tends to happen with movies that are more character studies or character-driven rather than something with a more traditional plot. If I'm not aware of that going in I end up focusing more on where I think the story is going rather than how the characters are reacting and evolving. And once I make it to the end of the movie and realize the plot wasn't particularly important, I just end up getting confused.

Michael Clayton. It’s just a very oddly structured movie that doesn’t resemble many other films. The story that would be the driving plot of 95% of most movies (lawyer taking on the big company) is seen through the eyes of a bit player who’s life is falling apart around him. It’s not quite a legal drama and the criminal aspects are played so nonchalantly that it can’t even reasonably be called a crime thriller. The main antagonist’s first scene has her drying sweaty pits in a bathroom stall.

First time I saw it, I liked it but was left a bit baffled. Now I’m convinced it’s the best film of 2007 (same year with There Will Be Blood and No Country for Old Men) and one of the top 5 American movies since 2000.

Agreed. It's just another way of illustrating the way the force works...

Vader tortured Han on Bespin to lure Luke there. Before that though, Luke senses that his friends will be in danger even though the pain hadn't taken place yet. Vader understood the force and took advantage of this bizarre paradox.

Han says "they didn't even ask me any questions". This is because Vader knew the pain alone would be enough for Luke to sense it (at a previous moment in time).

IT FOLLOWS

one of those strange movies, that things click more on repeated viewings, those blink and you'll miss it stuff. The movie since its so open to interpretation, raises more questions that another view might answer.

one movie for a FACT takes multiple views to fully appreciate? "City of The Living Dead". Honestly didn't like it on a first viewing. Many years later when I started getting into Fulci's films and bought Zombie 2 i revisited it again and it grew on me with repeated viewings.

Now I fully appreciate the unintentional and unintended humor in it.

Again I had started to get into Roger Corman flicks and was going thru the catalogue it literally took a few viewings to fully appreciate how good, the people he hired did for films like Piranha 78, Humanoids From The Deep, and even the hilarious mutant of Forbidden World (once you get past that boring opening space battle).

I can't remember the first time I watched it but I remember not enjoying it, partly because I watched a VHS copy on a 24" low def tv and partly because I think as I aged I grew to appreciate slow paced, beautifully shot films over action films. The film certainly isn't for everyone but it's cinematography is still unbelievably stunning to this day (groundbreaking at release). I know most people will disagree, but I think it's Kubrick's finest film.

Good Time with Robert Pattinson. I watched it sober and liked it but then I watched it on mescaline and really felt what they were going for. Their character is always in a rush, always rushing people so it gives you the feeling of panic, anxiety, and makes you feel extremely uncomfortable. Same thing with Uncut Gems it makes you feel the anxiety. Movies that can do that are examples of expert film making.

Licorice Pizza. It has all the trappings of a nostalgic, romantic dramedy but has the audacity to evoke something other than melodrama or charm. It’s just, like, stinky. Idk. It’s just going for such a unique feeling that you don’t get in any movies. Everything’s just kinda off. There’s a almost imperceptible underlying sense of dread throughout. It’s kinda like when someone’s telling a childhood story and halfway through kinda realize… wait… this was actually all kinda fucked up. And now they’re trapped because memory doesn’t work that way. Memory sanitizes. Took me at least viewings to wrap my head around what this movie was going for. Now I love it.
