Name a movie that made no impression on you when it was released, and later became a favorite

I can name two..."The Big Lebowski" and the first "Bad Santa" movie with Billy Bob Thornton.

Saw both when they were new and went "meh."

Years later, I watch them several times a year.

Some great performances, beautiful settings and cinematography, not nearly as terrible a movie as I am supposed to believe.

Yes, Winona Ryder would have better that Sofia Coppola, didn't happen.
