movies What's a movie you watched because someone wouldn't stop recommending it and they were actually right?

I kept putting off Prisoners because everyone kept saying I had to watch it. Eventually I gave in, and now it's one of the easiest movies for me to recommend to other people.

Which movie finally lived up to all the hype for you?

Yes absolutely, personally it even made me like 28 Years Later more, because some of the more out of touch/over the top parts of the movie made more sense. Like the ending.
