Are there some movies you didn't see until many years after they came out?

I didn't even watch these movies until many years after they came out. Put it this way, The movies I listed are from the late 80s/early 90s, I didn't watch them until late this decade.

The Sandlot--I didn't see it until way after it came out; it's one of my all-time favorites, too.

I have seen a lot of movies years after their releases. There are a lot of movies that become more popular when they are released on DVD.
