movies you used to like but have since outgrown?

What are some movies you used to really enjoy that just don't appeal to you anymore, for whatever reason?

Usually, I find myself not liking movies I used to really dig, as a result of me having grown up a little, and having developed a bit more knowledge on cinema and a better understanding of the world as I've gotten older.

Here's some of mine:

Easy A
Forrest Gump
Avatar
When Harry Met Sally...
anything by Kevin Smith other than Clerks and Dogma

What's yours?

John Hughes films have aged badly and weren't that great at the time.
Kevin Smith same as above. Chasing Amy in particular is just stupid.
Forrest Gump - admittedly I never liked it but I think now it really shows how it rode the 50's-60's nostalgia train of the time and took it to an extreme.
Starship Troopers loved it the first few times I saw it. Recently watched it and it's a mess, the story was meant to be Right wing/conservative, the film is meant to lampoon that but doesn't do a good job of it. A master alien at the end looks awful as well.
Dead Poet's Society, so a kid kills himself because he isn't allowed to act? Really??

You "liked" Dead Poet's Society earlier, but now you don't like it?

Ghostbusters I & II.

I used to know the script word for word. Not seen them now for about 20 years!

The Boondock Saints is a really cool movie for sixteen year-olds.

I can't sit through any James Bond movies anymore.

Same. I walked out of the last one, two hours in and they still had an island to inflltrate.

All that over-the-top one or two ultra-cool dudes taking on an army stuff just doesn't, or probably ever, flick my bick.

Now Sean Connery and Robert Shaw having a death match inside a beautiful ornate elevator - THAT's art.

Star Wars
The Breakfast Club/ anything by John Hughes
