Infamy! Infamy! They've All Got It in for Me

Happy New Year!

We've reached the same year when the post-apocalyptic sequel Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014) was set. 

Even though I wasn’t a huge fan of the film at first, it has really grown on me since then. The Shakespearean rivalry between Caesar and Koba was made it finally click for me in the end. I still don't give a damn about all the forgettable human survivors, however.

Similarly, here is a list of other films — most of which I was too young to appreciate at the time  — that have also improved for me:
