My movie is Waiting for Guffman.
I put it here because I wonder if folks who have lived a long time might have felt this way about a bunch of movies-maybe even classics.

“Jaws” … I had just read the book then saw the movie and was almost as impressed w/ the Hollywood production. Subsequent viewings of that movie leave me emotionless.
“Clan of the Cave Bear”
I was awestruck at the premise of the movie to live daily life among Neanderthals.
Then I read the 5 books that began the movie. They are great. I decided to see the movie again last year (b/c I re-read the books every year waiting for that 6th & final one to come out).
I saw it & it made no sense. It was all choppy & it didn’t fit together well & Daryl Hannah wasn’t as “deep” an actress as I has remembered.
Totally disappointed on round 2.
‘Brotherhood of The Bell’ with Glenn Ford and ‘Sea Wife’ with Richard Burton and Joan Collins. I couldn’t find them in the video stores so I paid a premium to some on-line website for copies and I was very disappointed. The stories were awesome I thought the 1st time I saw them, especially ‘Brotherhood’ because it was supposedly banned by our government. I guess that happens a lot with old movies. Anyway, it’s nice to have copies of hard-to-find pictures.
I cannot remember being disappointed the second time I saw a movie, but I have been disappointed at a remake of a movie. My favorite classic of all times was, and still is, LOST HORIZON – but the new version left me cold.
“The Thorn Birds”. That was a series on T.V. My mother and I just had to watch it every week til the very end. I sure cried on that one. Then when I rented the whole series and watched it, it did not affect me as it did the first time.
Funny Girl, with Barbara Streisand. First viewing I laughed ’til I cried, loved the music and then when I saw it again it wasn’t as good as I remembered.
Movie and TV shows that I loved at that time when I see again now I wonder what it was that I liked about it.
The Game with Michael Dougla A one time movie. A very good movie
