Blade Runner. I definitely expected it to be more action-packed the first time I watched it in high school, and thought it was okay afterwards. Several viewings later, I think it's a nearly-perfect film.

I'm 100 percent with you on this one. I was a big Sci fi fan going in the first time, and thought I knew what to expect. It ended up being so different than I expected that I didn't really like it at first. Since then, I've come to realize just how great it is. It's a rare occasion where the movie is also significantly superior to the movie for me.

This is the answer. I don’t think anyone’s first viewing of Blade Runner is their favorite. It’s just… too much to take in, too dense with all that is going on, and yet maybe a little too bare on plot to fully propel you inside before it is over.
But watch it again, and maybe just a little less focused on surprises and twists and revelations, just to experience what they created there - there is absolutely nothing like it, and probably never will be. Every time I rewatch it, I want it to go slower, for all the things that it gives you.
