Salo: 120 Days of Sodom. The first time watching it was pretty intense and disturbing. The message of movie (my own interpretation and Pasolini's) didn't hit me at first. I was too overcome by what was happening on the screen to actually appreciate why it was happening. After watching it a couple more times and reading through the book that came with the Criterion re-release, I have to say that while I won't exactly watch this movie on a weekly basis, I do appreciate it on a whole other level.
Brazil. The first time I watched it I had no idea what to expect. It was way back when I paid no attention to directors and the style of movies they made. The over the top humor and dark surrealism was just too much at the time. I liked the movie, but couldn't really say that I really grasped the totality of it. Now though, it's easily one of my favorite movies. It probably goes without saying then that Gilliam is also one of my favorite directors.
