We rewatched Mrs Doubtfire last night. As a kid, I was so on Daniel's side and didn't have much sympathy for Miranda (Sally Field), and couldn't warm to Stu (Pierce Brosnan) at all. Now though, I'm with Miranda all the way. She traded in a husband-child for a man who she can depend on and who loves her kids. Daniel's such a sleaze when they're at the pool too, making the women feel uncomfortable.
(I suppose our outgoing Prime Minister is a good example of people being prepared to overlook huge personal failings if someone is charismatic/"fun" enough.)
Anyway. What other films do you look at completely differently now than when you first watched them?

My Fair Lady
Film and musical. So much abuse.

AchatAVendre unpicking ABBA lyrics?? They're songs. They don't necessarily reflect the writers' opinions. And there's nothing whatsoever wrong with Knowing Me Knowing You's lyrics and Does Your Mother Know is a great song!
