I know there are several threads like this currently running but they are black and white, 'everyone loves this film, I don't'. I thought I'd try a more nuanced approach with films people at first disliked, didn't get but eventually grew to love.
For me The Shawshank Redemption -I watched a couple of times and it didn't really click with me, I thought it was overly sentimental more than anything. However because it was one of those films that people kept venerating I watched it almost every time it came on TV and eventually I grew to love it.
Another one was Batman Begins a film I found boring, humorless, colourless. I fell asleep watching it in the cinema and the first two attempts watching it on DVD. Then one day, watching it on TV once again, it just suddenly clicked and I got it.
So over to you.
