Movies you thought you'd hate, but ended up liking (script, comedies, sci-fi)

I guess I'm dating myself but back in the 1960's my girlfriend wanted to see Sound of Music. I was more into the guy type movies. Cars, shootemups, war, adventurous kind of stuff.
Then she wanted to see Love Story.
I thought I would hate both of those movies.
Forty plus years later I still like those two movies although it's been years since I've seen either one. I'd go watch them again.

I tend to not enjoy juvenile or low brow or potty type humor. So obviously don't go see movies like American Pie.
I watched it on cable and it just struck me as very funny. Sort of made a convert out of me. I've watched American Pie 2 as well. Wish I could afford that Michigan shoreline!

I assumed The Devil Wears Prada would be dreadfully boring. A movie about a bunch of shallow, stuck-up, fashion obsessed, name-dropping twits? No thanks. I'm so glad I gave it a chance, however. It's now one of my all-time favorites! Go, Miranda!

I liked that movie too, even though I wasn't expecting to.

Predator 2 - No Arnold!? What are they thinking!? I like this movie in sort of a good/bad way. The dialog for Danny Glover's character is hilarious. That and I find almost anything with Gary Busey in it funny, whether it's meant to be or not.

The movie did do a good job of going into more detail about the Predator and his origins, so there was some story reasons to like it as well.

The sequels after Scary Movie 2 sucked! They are now working on Scary Movie 5

Remember really not wishing to see SlingBlade, and amazed at how much I enjoyed it.

Legally Blonde (didn't care for part 2)
Final Destination 1, 2 and 3 (first series of movies I actually like)
Bridge to Terrabithia (I did not want to like this movie!)
Miss Congeniality
My Bloody Valentine (it reminded me of the horror movies I used to watch growing up)
Scary Movie (didn't care for any after the first one)
Not Another Teen Movie (loved the reaction to him singing "Janey's Got A Gun")
Uncle Buck
16 Candles (didn't like Molly Ringwald -- she came off as too stuck up -- but liked the movie)
Weird Science
Step Up (didn't see the 2nd one)
Stomp the Yard (thought it would be cheesy)
Deep Blue Sea
Spiderman 2 (I liked the first one, but think sequels can take things too far. I actually liked this sequel. Haven't seen 3 yet).
Wall E
Blades of Glory
Napoleon Dynamite
How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days
Failure To Launch
Hitch
Last Holiday

I'm sure there are more, but those are right off the top of my head.

Lord of the Rings the trilogy. I loved it and even bought the set.
