Blade Runner. I didn't get what the movie was trying to do, expected a more conventional sci-fi story like Star Trek or something, so I thought it was boring AF and hated it. But when I stopped throwing my own expectations at the movie and just saw it for what it is, it actually became one of my favorite sci-fi movies.

Another was Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. I loved the TV show and then here comes the movie being all doom and gloom and hardly any humor, plus I saw it as a retread of what had already been done instead of moving the story forward. But then I realized the story is mostly being told from Laura Palmer's perspective, and as it's a story of sexual abuse, Twin Peaks isn't this quaint or quirky town for her, it's a living hell. And because it's told from her perspective, it is a necessary story, because the show might've told the details of the situation, but it never had that.
