Have any of you recently (like, in the past couple of months) rewatched a movie you previously hadn't seen for years?

Did you still like it/hate it? Did you like it/dislike it even more? Did you view anything in it differently than you viewed those things the last time you saw it? Did you notice anything you didn't notice before? Tell us! And give the name of movie!

(I guess books/TV shows work too)

I recently rewatched The Princess Bride for the first time in years. I never realized how ridiculous it was until now. Still love it though.

recently rewatched the big lebowski. still awesome. in fact, it gets better and funnier the more you watch it. you pick up at least three more jokes every time.

I revived a July 4th tradition and watched Apocalypse Now Redux with some friends a couple weeks back. I used to watch it every July 4th (or close to it) for a number of years, but a few years back I sort of stopped. So it was good to get back into it again.

I actually like the movie a lot, still. The bridge scene stands out to me a lot more than it did before, in part because of how my taste for technoir and similar aesthetics and themes out of the late 70s/early 80s has really ramped up the last couple years.

I just saw A Hard Day's Night again!

I had mostly the same opinion that I had six years ago: rather transparent, but it's still hilarious and Ringo is still the actual most adorable thing.

However, this time around, I noticed just how modern and innovative a lot of the filming techniques/devices seemed for that time period, and so later that night I looked it up and spent a pretty interesting time reading about how influential those devices were on cinema. Cool stuff!

that movie is a classic! I love the Beatles.

Black Beauty! I downloaded it to make GIFs. I forgot Sean Bean was in it. I also forget the birth scene. And I still love it.

Sean Bean is in it!??!?!?!?

'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' is the perfect movie and all other movies should aspire to be just like it.

'Muppet Treasure Island' is still rad and really funny,

'Knowing' still sucks.

Motherfucking 'Virtuosity.' Does anyone remember this movie? Russell Crowe is a psychotic computer program come to life and Denzel Washington hunts him down. It's such wonderful '90's sci-fi cheese. I loved it as a kid (and I think it's what gave my sentient computer program fetish), and as an adult it's just such a fabulously cracky film.

I rewatched Muppet Treasure Island too! Still one of my favorite Muppet movies along with the Christmas Carol one.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit is so awesome in every way. :)

Now I am curious as to what strange brainwave went around and made three of us rewatch Muppet Treasure Island.

Rewatched Beethoven and still like it. Can't believe I only just got the Uncle Richard joke this time, I wasn't that young last time I watched it...

Also recently rewatched Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead. The fashion has aged horribly and it's even more ridiculous than I remembered, but doggone if I don't love it more than ever. The Rose/Sue Ellen friendship and the handling of Gus ended up being among my favorite parts whereas I was just neutral on them before; ended up really disliking Brian this time around, though, whereas I used to like him.

Tim Burton's Batman. I hadn't watched it in at least five years if not more, and it was one of those movies I'd watched so much growing up and thought I knew so well and pretty much considered the quintessential Batman movie.

I watched it the other week when I discovered my sister hadn't seen it since she was ten and wow.

I mean. Wow.

It is so ridiculously Burton.

Like I thought it wasn't because within this time frame, I'd seen Batman Returns and that was even more ridiculously Burton, but the original has all the hallmarks as well.

And now I can't see it as "Batman" anymore, but "Burton's Batman" and it's the weirdest thing because it spawned BTAS, which I still consider THE QUINTESSENTIAL BATMAN THING, and yeah.

Also, after experiencing Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman, holy shit Vicki Vale was useless. And annoying. But also useless.

It's weird because I still love it. Both for itself and for essentially spawned the cinematic superhero movie genre as we know it.

But man, just in terms of tone and all the side details. It was nothing like I'd remembered.

I rewatched both volumes of "Kill Bill" two days ago. I remembered the events of the second one perfectly but I felt sadder watching it, and I can't put my finger on why (probably because I knew how everyone was going to bite it this time). Still love 'em though.

Shawshank Redemption!

Still fantastic, but it's a lot slower than you remember. One of those things where there's a few parts you really, really remember and then all the stuff in between sort of slips by you.

Prometheus, The Dark Knight Rises and the PotC trilogy. So basically I've just rewatched a lot of disappointing movies that I wanted to like really bad. Because apparently I hate myself.

Sleeping Beauty, I hadn't seen it years and after not being able to find it in any store I found it the other week and watched it to see if I still love it the same.

I do, it's a great movie.

Cars, the Pixar movie.

It...made me cry, which I don't remember doing at all the last time I watched it, and I spent a few hours afterwards feeling super invested in anthropomorphized cars. :/

Dodgeball. It's still a terribly stupid movie. And I still love it.

What Happens in Vegas. Everyone I know hates that movie and I remember being the only one who really loved it when it first came out. So I rewatched it like 5 days ago thinking I might not like it anymore, but nope, that movie is still awesome.

Same goes for The Man in the Iron Mask, though I did get annoyed this time by the amount of awful acting there. But it still didn't ruin the movie for me, I especially appreciated evil!DiCaprio most, yum. <3

Lion King 1 and 2, Mulan, Hercules, Pocahontas, and Hercules.

The Virgin Suicides. The first time I saw it I only half paid attention to it so the biggest difference this time was I actually did. I have mixed feelings on it this time around, don't remember what I thought the first time.

Also The Cat Returns, which I still like.

I also rewatched the first season of X-Men Evolution and I am still totally in love with that show.

I rewatched "Snow White: Happily Ever After", because I remembered it being fun and scary as a kid, and it was just horrific. Worst animation I've ever seen thus far (and I've seen a lot of bad animation) and completely incoherent...everything. It wasn't even funny in a bad way, just bad. Totally ruined all my gauzy memories of how dark and edgy I thought it was in early grade school.

All the time. Mostly because my boyfriend and I have movie night and I've seen a lot of movies and he hasn't. We've already gone through most of the ones I've seen like a hundred times, so now it's into ones I've forgotten all about. Recently watched:

Ghostbusters 1 & 2. They surprisingly still hold up pretty well today. Never noticed that 2 is almost the exact same movie as 1. It didn't bother me when I first saw it and still doesn't.

Caddyshack. I still liked it. Maybe even more because I have a better understanding of it from when I was a kid. And the difference of what a comedy was in the early 80s and now is really strange. Like back then a comedy didn't have to include some convoluted love triangle and if there was romance, it wasn't taken seriously. I guess that applies to the Lampoon movies too.

Mission Impossible. It wasn't as action packed as I remembered it. There were like 2 scenes and they were near the end on the train. The rest of it was pretty low key. And I noticed that Tom Cruise was always kinda loopy.

Resident Evil: Apocalypse. Ugh. It was a shit movie when I saw it in theatres. It's still a shit movie. I can't believe this series is still going on.

Bonus movie. I watched Mortal Instruments: City of Bones the other day on tv. I hadn't seen it before. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I liked that the main character didn't seem like a complete idiot. And the movie seemed pretty good at explaining the story, but I did feel like I was missing out on a lot of the background story. It was just alright.
