What is a movie you loathed as a kid but like as an adult?
I absolutely REFUSED to see Dirty Dancing when it came out. I am one of those people that if the masses love it, I instantly want nothing to do with it. I was not a Patrick Swayze fan at all and when my freshman football player boyfriend and I visited my friend, her mom pulled me aside and said "he's cute! He looks like Patrick Swayze." I couldn't unsee it after that and that didn't last too much longer after that.
But at some point, I did see it on TV maybe 4 or 5 years after its release, I couldn't help myself and really like the movie. Dare I say Patrick Swayze was charming in it even if YouTube footage behind the scenes show the contrary a bit and Jennifer Grey pointing out how he absolutely hated the line about putting Baby in a corner. I can look past that and enjoy the innocence of the time it represented even if the movie is about people dry humping on the dance floor.

I felt the same way about Dirty Dancing. I had no desire to see it when it first came out because it was all everyone was talking about and I actually got kind of tired of hearing about it. I didn't see it until I was in my 20's and then I realized why people liked it so much. I am not surprised it is still considered a classic today.
ReplyDeleteAs a kid I did not like A Christmas Story or Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. As an adult, I really listened to the subtleties with the humor (especially with the wonderful narrator, Jean Shepherd in A Christmas Story) and appreciated it so much more. Christmas Vacation is always good for a laugh and being the hockey fan I am, years ago I bought me and the hubs Griswold hockey jerseys and we'd go to the games with our little moose cups at Christmastime.
