Yep for reference I saw both Star Wars and Princess Bride as an adult and loved both.
I went to see Star Wars on its release at the cinema on my own because Mrs W is not a sci-fi fan and I have no RL friends who would go with me. It was OK, but each time I’ve seen it since, I’ve picked more and more holes in it. I just didn’t bother to watch any of them after The Phantom Menace because it had got to the point where they annoyed me on first viewing.
Similarly, I liked the original Italian Job on first viewing, but I can’t watch it at all now.
I started watching The Princess Bride a couple of years ago, because a lot of people rave over it, and gave up after about 20 minutes because it didn’t appeal to me.
