Gave them a second chance and they improved.

One of the aspects in Falcon that I hadn't particularly noticed before was the relationship between Spade and Effie. They are friends as well as boss'n'secretary and they show it in their easy way with each other. The interaction between Detective Tom and Spade also caught my eye more than usual. One gets so caught up with Bridget Shaughnessy and Gutman and Cairo and poor picked on Wilmer that the other great characters sometimes get neglected. Not to mention that twisty plot that insists on distracting one's attention !
Chinatown is one that has grown on me. Didn't dislike it but hadn't thought it was very special. Reading various discussions about the details of it has helped a lot. I even watched The Two Jakes on recommendation by a friend and it's not as bad as its reputation would lead one to believe. Especially if seen soon after Chinatown so that the story details are fresh in memory..
Then there is that "simple cute little comedy" called Groundhog Day. Better and better when it is given a chance.
Beat the Devil and To Catch A Thief are both films that have not yet "clicked" but I have hopes for both.
You may not be a "thread-starter" but you are sure a good "thread adder-to-er" and we sure could use even more of those !
