There are some films that are a little slow out of the gate to become classics. Citizen Kane<\/em> wasn’t instantly “the greatest film ever made” (nor was Vertigo<\/em>, the movie that recently knocked Kane<\/em>\u00a0off the tippy-top of the kinda-sorta venerated Sight & Sound<\/em> list<\/a>); as the heat wears off a film’s immediate reception, be its fate a polarizing picture or shocking flop, cooler heads often prevail and later raise the public’s estimation of\u00a0that movie to a more heightened status.<\/p>\n

Or, maybe it just happens for you in particular. The first film that always comes to my mind with this question is David Fincher’s Fight Club<\/em>, a movie I didn’t appreciate at first, but couldn’t stop thinking about…so I watched it over and over again, until I realized there was a reason for all those Repeat Viewings<\/a>. The film is a modern-day classic.<\/p>\n

Irv now has the floor for his<\/em> response. It’s a doozy!<\/p>\n
