What's the "best" film you hated on rewatch?

I thought Chinatown was 10/10 first viewing. The second time I thought that it was too plot reliant and didn't hold up when you knew what was going to happen

Bumpy

Oceans 11
Thought it was decent when I first saw it, watched it again later and was embarrassed that I had been recommending it.

>good question!
Ace Ventura: Pet Detective
jk

Maybe the Usual Suspect
Didn't really hate it, just felt that director forced the twist and made the audience look stupid. A good twist is something you should be able to catch, Fincher does that well in Se7en or Fight Club, or it should make you ponder and reflect over it when you rewatch the film, like Jacob's Ladder, Psycho or The Empire Strikes Back.

tough question OP
I dunno. I don't think I've ever watched a movie for a second time and realized I hated it.
I rewatched Revenge of the Sith and realized it's great, though.

Going in the opposite direction. I thought Napolean Dynamite was awful when I first saw it in theaters. No I think it's hilarious.

it's also a very symbolic movie, OP. the rape of the woman and the rape of the land. the fact that the history of 70s LA in civic corruption decades before is unfolding before our eyes (the future gittes). I don't personally find it very rewatchable but there's more layers.

pleb

I'll name a few others:

Fargo
>got a bitter taste rewatching this. The sign that it built on a real event really hurts it

eXistenZ
>felt less polished, more amateurish and not as thought-provoking upon a rewatch

Time and Tide
>the acting was so bad, and the action wasn't as sick as I remembered

Finding Nemo
>once the pixar-hype was gone, it felt like a film based on a given formula set up ages ago, without much else

Life of Brian
>was way more worse than the Holy Grail than I originally remembered. The difference in the amount of quality scethches is astonishing

Harakiri
>was a little bit sentimental is some scenes, though I need to rewatch it to be sure

Just rewatched this last night. It holds up. So many tiny clues and layers hidden in Towne's script

Holy Grail felt too disjointed to me, unlike Life of Brian, and wasn't as deft at parody or satire. also didn't have Palin's Pontius Pilate in it.

if anything its even better when you rewatch it

Rear Window for me
The lightbulb scene is awful, I don't know how the fuck it made into the final cut
Also the exposition with the police officer, the bit where he falls out of his window and the overall poor acting by James Stewart

Also, most Tarantino flicks, which I loved as a teen, just don't hold up

>The sign that it built on a real event really hurts it

it isn't, though.

the reason for the message at the start is because the first scene of the movie is Steve Buscemi talking about how he's peed 5 times already and the Coens realized they needed to warn the audience that the movie wasn't a comedy.

>James Stewart
not that he doesn't have his moments, but he's the one of the few big name classic Hollywood actors i can't understand the acclaim behind (see also: Clark Gable)

>the bit where he falls out of his window
you got to forgive bad effects in old movies sometimes

Blow-Up

the moment Antonioni lost touch with his talent and the world around him

Holy Grail and the Life of Brian are good, but the fucking Meaning of Life changed my way of looking at things when i was 18 man, its the best of the 3 (the pirate part was cringy but the rest is timeless)

Chinatown is great. Pic related is actually a favourite of mine tho

1954 is not that old
Other directors were doing miracles with special effects long before that
Besides, it's pretty simple: if it doesn't look good enough, it shouldn't be in the film

Don't bullshit me user, is it actually good? I've avoided watching it because I was afraid it was going to be shit

I think I liked this movie better the second time through because I picked up on all the foreshadowing and little details.

>is it actually good?
How many bad movies have you seen star Jack Nicholson?

You've got a point, user. Fuck it, I'll watch it tonight!

>the moment Antonioni lost touch with his talent and the world around him

I also didn't much like Blow Up but the Passenger was made after and is one of his best.

Its a really comfortable watch with a deeper story in my opinion than Chinatown. It isnt as tight and visually arresting as the original but it has its own charms and the production design is excellent as Nicholson (who directed it) wanted a period accurate look.

Its a movie i can put on in the background in an infinite loop.
