Is there a movie you initially thought you wouldn't like but you ended up liking?
"The Notebook" for me
- - James Marsden as that main woman's first fiance and Gena Rowlands both helped me like the movie a lot. Neither were in the movie a huge amount of screen time but they were essential in my opinion.
"Indiana Jones and The Lost ArK" at the time I was deep sci-fi, a purist you might say ;)

I think I saw this one -- was it the first in the franchise? POTENTIAL PLOT SPOILER!!! Did the ending have a worker pushing a cart in a HUGE cluttered warehouse and the ark (or whatever was the main point of the movie) was sitting there in the midst of everything? I liked that ending if that's the one.
Aye, indeed. The Ark of the Covenant is sitting in a government warehouse somewhere. Just as well. Only priests acceptable to God can use it and to anyone else it is deadly. Methink the official title was "Raiders of The Lost Ark".

The Mad Woman Of Chaillot — I initially thought this to be just yet another cookie cutter, carbon copy late 1960s/early 1970s allegorical film but it turned out to be a very poignant social commentary with very delightful and believable characters.
"Shine," about an Australian pianist who's crowning achievement was to play Rachmaninoff's Third Piano Concerto. The effort required in his quest estranged him from his father and resulted in some severe mental problems although he may have been autistic to start with. Good movie.
Thanks, CallMeIshmael! I skimmed your answer because I haven't seen the movie, yet, and I prefer not to know too much about a movie before I see it, ha! :)
