Movies worth a Second Chance - Blu-ray Forum

Grant Matrix · 06-09-2008, 01:49 AM

I like this thread!!

I find the older I get, I have to be in a mood for certain movies.

For me the biggest disappointing first watch was Harry Potter and the Sorecer's Stone. I actually fell asleep through it. Well on second try it immediatly became one of my favorite movies of all time and prompted me to go and read every book!

Other movies I didn't like, but gave a second chance to include Cars and Narnia: Lion Witch and the Wardrobe. Funny thing is, that if it wasn't for Blu I might not have given them a second chance.

I couldn't agree more. I saw Iron Man last night and was disappointed. Hopefully when I see it on BD it will be a different story. Though a lot of it could be that when I saw it that it wasn't in Digital Projection.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. The first time I watched it, I wasn't impressed, the second time I watched it I thought it was very clever and well written....laughed my ass off. I only watched it again cuz it was next in line. I watch all my movies in order alphabetically, I know, I'm a freak.

Dude, that's sick.

So did you watch Die Hard with a Vengeance before calibrating your TV?

That's a great line about movies and giving them a second chance. I definitely agree with you here 100%! I feel the same way a lot. Especially when I get a great deal on a blu I might have passed up because of a prior "meh" viewing.
