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?

Moulin Rouge - just thought it was weird and eccentric the first time, but now I can watch it over and over and never get tired of it.

Donnie Darko - Was very confused the first time, but turns out it can be rewatched over and over as well.

I haven't seen Die Hard With a Vengence yet. Do those calibration things work? My TV looks pretty good already.

I'll tell you one movie I won't ever give a second chance: Transporter 2. That movie is a disgrace as a sequel... they should have never made it, and I wish I never would've wasted the time or money on it.

Kind of the same way here. I liked the movie a whole lot, but the theater we saw it in wasn't digital and there were TONS of film noise and cigarette burns. It was distracting to say the least.

I'm planning on giving Blade Runner a second chance. I watched it a few years ago. It was a VHS copy and the quality was pretty bad. However, I picked the blu-ray up today at Best Buy for $15. I'm hoping it's worth it.

I blind bought Blade Runner on Blu-ray a while ago, and didn't like/understand it, so I think I may take another look at it. I remember reading that the final cut that's on the first disc isn't the best version, as it's missing narration done by Ford. Can anyone chime in on this?

The first three 'Harry Potter' films -> the fourth and fifth gave them merit.
X-Men 3 -> watching all three in one sitting actually made it impressive.
Elektra -> Don't understand why, but it was better the second time.
Daredevil -> Same situation as Elektra.
The Fountain -> Still don't understand it though.
Fargo -> Hated it, then laughed my ass off at it.
Happy Feet -> Despised it in theatres, fell madly in love with the Blu-ray
Phone Booth -> Change of heart second time around.
The Devil's Advocate -> Bored out the first time, fell into it the second time.
The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou -> Guess I didn't get it the first time.
Man In The Iron Mask -> Leo DiCaprio ruined it the first time, the supporting cast has saved it since.
The Village -> Ok, I loved this one from the get-go, but I know half a dozen people who gave it a second chance and were all surprised by their enjoyment of it the second time around.

I fell asleep while watching dreamgirls. Later when seeing it again liked it a lot. It even made me search for some more of beyoncee music.
