Movies that are better the 2nd time.
I was just thinking about this the other night when I watched X-Men for the second time on HBO. There are some movies out there that I really did not like the first time I saw it. But the second time I watched them, I really enjoyed. And actually the wierd thing about it is, some of these movies I actually hated the first viewing and now I love them. I have bought the dvd because of seeing it the second time. Anyway some of the movies on my list are The Big Lebowski, The Thin Red Line, Out Of Sight, Mission Impossible 2, Enemy at the Gates,Independence day. And the first time I saw this one I thought it was okay but I have seen it 12 times now and it is one of my most favorite movies of all time, Pulp Fiction. It's just a movie that everytime I watch it, it gets better and better. What are some of your guys picks?

First time I saw ROAD TRIP, I thought it was ok, nothing special. When I saw it the second time I LOVED IT.
I have seen that movie many, many times since. The DVD is very much watched

As far as teen movies go, American Pie was okay the first time, I did not think is was that funny but now I really like it.

Strange choice, I'm sure, but Demons. I know there are many more, but that's the only one from the past couple of years.

Austin Powers 1&2, Mystery Men, South Park:BLU.
On the other hand, there are some movies I dislike more the second time around.

South Park and Austin Powers get better each time, mainly because I know what the dialogue is (I have seen Austin Powers one over 30 times, and that was only during the first summer I owned it).
Movies like Unbreakable, Sixth Sense, the Others, and Memento are better the second time around because you know what happens and can pick up things you didn't see the first time around. For the Sixth Sense, you could just watch the commentary that points everything out for you.
Hmmm...other movies that I liked more the second time through...I really can't say. If a movie is really long and only OK, then its not better the second time. If a movie is REALLY good and not too long, then it usually is really good the second time. If a movie is mindblowingly amazing (like South Park) then it only gets better each time.

The first time I saw Mallrats I was not that impressed because I was trying to compare it to Clerks. Then after the 2nd time I have loved it every time I watch it. That is about it but most movies I watch I love the 2nd time(the again that's why I buy them on dvd  )

It's often a matter of expectations.
Often moviegoers go into a film expecting a certain kind of film, and if that film doesn't match your expectations, the film is fighting a losing battle against your thoughts.
However, even if this is the case, you can subconsiously detect that this is a film that you would otherwise enjoy, or why else would you watch the film a second time if you didn't like it.
It's always best to go into a film without preconcieved expectations and knowing as little as possible about it.

Exactly Bill. Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within was one of my most anticipated movies ever, but my first viewing left me slightly unsatisfied and unimpressed with the story. Subconsciously, I knew there had to be more than what I thought, so I decided to watch it again. I love it now. But the movie wasn't just better because my expections were out of the way, the visuals and story are quite deep and reveal themselves with repeated viewings. Only with a second viewing would I have discovered a major revelation about the main character.
