For the most part all culture, for me, stopped in 1989. Music, movies and TV shows that I enjoy seem to have been made in the 80s or before and I never enjoyed most movies/shows that I had seen that had been made from 1990 on.
I especially am weary about seeing “popular” movies made after the 1990 deadline. When I have gone to see them I usually end up disappointed.
Napoleon Dynamite came out in 2004 and like most movies of that time I never wanted to see it. So even though I had heard good things about it I thought that I would not like it, and I had become a crotchety old man by then “Hey, get off my lawn!” so I did not see it for years.
But then a good friend, who has very similar movie and television show taste to me made me watch it with him while I was visiting him from out of town. I agreed to watch it, telling myself in advance that I would not like it.
But guess what? I actually did like it.
So for me, one movie that I thought I would never see nor enjoy but ended up seeing and enjoying, was Napoleon Dynamite.
How about you? Is there a movie that you had put off seeing forever and finally watched it, and ended up seeing it and enjoying it?
