I definitely trick myself. One example I remember was Se7en. I was about 16 and me and a group of friends went to see it. As we came out of the cinema everyone was talking about how great it was, but I didn’t think so, until they said it. I think at that point my opinion hadn’t been verbalized and was still flexible.
But opinions are not permanent. I’m sure we’ve all rewatched films and had our opinions change.
I guess that opens up another theory. As your cinematic education progresses, all the films you watch affect the films you will watch. It could be argued that some films can only be fully appreciated after watching certain earlier films.
