National Treasure. My class saw this in a history class in seventh grade and we all thought it was great. Then we saw it for our English class, which was still fun, better a movie than actual class right? And then we saw it for a different class. And a different one. And then a different grade.
By the end of middle school, my entire grade had seen National Treasure a minimum of eight times. Trust me when I say it's a miracle I don't hate Nic Cage.
Titanic. I remember loving this movie when it first came out. I loved the attention to detail and the historic accuracy. A young Kate Winslet getting naked didn't hurt it any too much either.
However, I can't stand it now. The sappy song. The long, long build up. The really boring romance. The overly sappy sappidy sap sap sap. The necklace being dropped into the ocean by the 100-year-old woman. Screw this movie!
no girls!
I remember seeing "Just My Luck" in the theater with my family because I thought it was pretty funny the first time I saw it with the two main characters switching their lucks (good/bad). After seeing it again, I eventually realize its problems with the lack of chemistry between Lindsay Lohan and Chris Pine and the premise being pretty wasted. This film sucks bad.
The one that comes to mind is "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace". I was very young when I saw it at the movies and I remember it being very awesome and was my first exposure to the "Star Wars" series. Now that I'm much older now, I later came to see its flaws as I leave that and the next two prequels in the dust, and garnered the original trilogy as my treasure.

One girl's point of view: Twilight sucked, Valentine's Day sucked. Most romcom movies suck.
There, now you don't need a girl; I think you guys get alot of girl opinions on here anyway. You guys work fine on your own.
I think I'm going to shock everyone by saying that The Dark Knight has sort of become one of these movies. When I first saw it, I thought it was nearly perfect. But now the more times I see it the more plot holes I notice.
I still think it is a good movie, just not an amazing one.
I first watched "Super Mario Bros." on television when I was a young kid thinking it was pretty neat. After watching it again as an adult, I came to see that it is not a very good movie based on a video game and completely stayed clear of other adaptations.
IDIOCRACY - first viewing eh, each viewing after: increases it by 1 star, i am up to 8 out of 5 stars
Ferris Bueller's Day Off. When I first saw this movie I was in the theater, I was in junior high and Ferris was the coolest thing ever. Now that I am older I find him annoying and self-centered. What happened to all that money that was raised for his "disease"? Son of a bitch better have donated it to people who were actually sick. And the parents who keep checking on him may have been a bit clueless but still were good people who deserved better than a liar for a son. Why should I feel sorry for him - because instead of a car he got a computer with an awesome set up? Welcome to the real world where you don't always get what you want.
I don't mind cocky Matthew Broderick in Wargames but here he just pisses me off.
All the Austin Powers movies. Thought they were really funny the first time around can't stand them now.
BTW You guys should review Doomsday a craptastic movie that somehow managed a 50% on rotten tomatoes but is unbelievable stupid and forgetable. I saw this movie in the theater and completely forgot I had seen it until my better half rented the same, also having completely forgotten we had seen it.What a complete waste of a dollar.
When I saw "The Avengers" from 1998 originally, I thought it was really cool. Seeing it again right now, this was very awful from the poorly executed fight scenes, to the lack of chemistry between Uma Thurman and Ralph Fiennes, and the overreliance of Sean Connery hamming it up as the villain. Who thought that this would be a good movie?
I will also lend a female perspective on Twilight and Valentine's Day: they're fucking terrible. There. Sorted.
My initial opinion of Snakes on a Plane was that I loved it, but as I catch it occasionally on TV now (Because lets face it, I'm not going to waste the time and necessary energy to throw it into the DVD player) I find myself wondering exactly why I ever found it so appealing in the first place. Everything that happens in it is so contrived and strange that I find myself wondering what the fuck is going on in it and just WHY everything is happening quite literally after every scene. Just an example of what youth and seeing a movie in a theater with your buddies can do to a film.
Great podcast - snappy editing always to the point, guys!For me, a film I loved and now dislike would have to be 'Trainspotting'(1996) - Ewan McGregor's first starring role in a movie about drug addicts in Scotland. Having now lived and worked in Scotland I have to say that the film is a total fantasy.
It is a very unreal portrayal of Scotland's capitol Edinburgh and shows heroin addicts suddenly turning into a 'Heat' style robbery crew at the end. Wouldn't happen!
Body Heat. The first time I saw it I thought it was great. Every time since I have had to stop watching it because it seems so flatly acted and directed and contrived.
David Lynch would the perfect choice to direct my weird and absurd life.
I just listened to your podcast on "The Number 23" and although I agree with most of what was said regarding the movie and thought they were spot on, I felt disappointed with some very rude remarks you guys have made about an IMDb reviewer called Claudio who wrote a synopsis of the film (no, I'm not him and I don't know him). He's from Brazil, just like me and I missed the part where you point out that you guys are polyglots and can speak portuguese, spanish, french or german perfectly (americans are world-renowned for speaking french and spanish perfectly, correctly and with a native-like pronunciation, yeah, right) and the part where you explain how foreigners who have learned english as a second language without spending 10 years in America or Britain, are morons for not writing with a spotless "sentence structure" and never misspelling words (you spent a lot of time making fun of his misspelling of the name "WaltHer" like that would qualify him as a moron or like it couldn't be just an extra letter typed accidentally). By what I see reading synopsis and comments on the IMDb threads, some native speakers should keep a mirror close at hand and realize that the most atrocious misspellings and badly structured sentences come from natives and not foreigners, who, btw, are excusable. "Its a great move", "I liek it's take on the charactors traumatick past" (both from US born citizens on the IMDb boards), "they should of came earlyer", "they shoud of made these sceens in Canada"...I could go on and on but it suffices to say that the guy who was reading the synopsis should go see a doctor to treat his dyslexia or terrible underdeveloped reading and speaking skills. You may think you sound good to everyone's ears, but criticizing a person who learned english as a second language with your awkward pronunciation (for a proud native american) and cramming in words and piling them up one on the top of the other like you do, is not going to give you any credit and you end up making a fool of yourself.
On the bright side, I still like your comments. Just don't miss the target making rude and prejudiced comments about third parties.
All the best. P.S. I was going to write all this in portuguese, spanish and french, but somehow I suspected you guys couldn't read in any of those languages.
