One of my random thoughts that I had today. Also, planning on heading to Blockbuster sometime this week so maybe I'll get some ideas. I'll start with a few off the top of my head...

Gross Point Blank
Miss Congeniality (I literally was dragged to this one, I didn't have a ride home)

EDIT
Ahhh completely forgot about Butterfly Effect. Nozirev reminded me - that movie blew me away.

National Treasure... I wasn't expecting much but ended up reasonably pleased.

Sideways. At first I didn't think I would care for it, but it has surpassed my expectations and was my favorite movie of 2004.

The Butterfly Effect. Expected it to really stink, and it ended up not being that bad.

Also Super Troopers, although i didn't hate that going in, I just didn't know it was going to be so funny.

I've heard good things about that. I saw part of the beginning and couldn't get into it though. I might just give it another chance.

Good call on Miss Congeniality. I'll throw in Love Actually. Ex talked me into seeing it and I really liked it.

Pulp Fiction.

Thought it was garbage the first time, but it got funnier every time I watched it. One of my favorites now.

Another vote for Love Actually. I also went into Harry Potter thinking it would suck, but ended up loving it.

same NT ending made sense.

Adaptation on the otherhand is exact opposite.
