Films that disappointed upon first viewing but became a favorite?

What films did you initially dislike or were disappointed by, but upon subsequent viewings began to love.

I can think of a few titles.

The first one that always comes to mind for me is a popular Coen Bros. film.

I hated The Big Lebowski upon first viewing (surprisingly enough) but caught it again about a year after it's initial release at home and I instantly wondered what I had missed the first time around. It is one of my all-time favorite films and is right near the top of Coen Bros. titles.





The second film that comes to mind is the David Mamet picture, The Spanish Prisoner. It was such a bore the first time around but I caught it about 10 years ago on HDNet and I was absorbed with the plot and dialogue. I only wish it was available on Blu-Ray.
