Do books count? I spend most of my life hearing Blood Meridian being the American Novel and avoided it for the better part of a decade because of how overjerked I felt like it was.... until I read it and said "yeah, maybe it is that good."

Bride of Frankenstein (1935).
I couldn’t take it seriously after the homunculi scene and the Monster learning to speak, but then I gave the film a second chance and enjoyed it better the second time have understood it.
The homunculi did make me think I was watching a Disney film for some reason, but the Monster and the blind man captivated me better than before and the Bride at the end was convincing even though she had little screen time in the film.
The film is a much different take on Frankenstein by Mary Shelly whereas the original monster movie was convincing and serious with the Monster itself but now I understand that the sequel was just different than the original film.
But I do understand all the minor nitpicks about this film that I’ve gone over here yet I’m no longer overly critical about it because I understand it.
