A lot of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" rocketed over my head when I saw it as a teenager. Ten years later, after I was married and saw it again, I understood so much more and realized that this was an astonishingly sophisticated script with incredible performances.
Howards End (1992)
I must've been either 18 or 19 when I first saw it. I found it boring and I couldn't understand why Emma Thompson was so lauded for her performance in this film. Many years went by before I saw the film again about 2 years ago. This time around, I liked it a lot. Quite possibly the best movie of 1992. I guess now that I'm older I can better appreciate the film.

Interesting thoughts. I feel same way about a different movie... "Dead Poets Society". R. Williams (RIP)
I never liked old black and white movies as a kid but being older and wiser I appreciate the craft of film making. Today we are whacked upside the head with over the top blood and guts and sex scenes. Back in the day a loving couple could look at each other a certain way and we knew what they would soon be getting up to behind those closed doors.
It was a more innocent time and it was more classy.

Absolutely! "Marty" is a good example of a movie I would've found boring as a kid - black & white, no action, just a lot of talking, not even any handsome actors. And no sex or nudity. Yet it's now my favorite romantic movie. There are some scenes where Ernest Borgnine just makes my heart melt.
I've liked The Prisoner of Zenda for some time, but as I've seen more and more Ronald Coleman movies... the man was not only a gifted actor, but chose his roles and movies wisely. Haven't seen a bad one yet.
Oh I LOVE Ronald Colman! A Tale of Two Cities is one off my favorites. I've never seen The Prisoner of Zenda. In fact there are a lot of films mentioned in this thread that I've never seen but now want to. Thanks for all the great suggestions!

Still find it a snore fest. That and the English Patient. He leaves a woman to die in a cave, some romance.
John Wayne is an actor I never liked when I was younger. I still haven't seen many of his movies, but "The Quiet Man" and "The Searchers" are now 2 of my all-time favorite movies.
2001: A Space Odyssey. Bored me out of my mind when I first saw it as a kid. Blew my mind when I saw it again about 20 years later. I didn't have the patience, or the ability to add subtle hints together to appreciate where the director wished the audience to go, to understand the movie when I first saw it.
Musicals. I still don't like the bulk of them, but now I enjoy 42nd Street and all those Busby Berkley musicals, Meet Me In St. Louis, Oklahoma! and The Sound of Music.
