The movie 1917. I watched it going in blind. I knew it was praised by many, but then again, so are many other war movies. Now it's my favourite movie. I cannot help but cry at the scene in the basement, even thinking about it gives me goosebumps.

True Stories. After 40 years I still watch it every few years to make sure it's still wierd. Excellent social commentary.
Mostly it's the ones I didn't hype for. Didn't watch trailers or knew any plot.
Like when I watched some of the IMDb top 250 just one by one without really looking what the movie is about except its setup (the Good the Bad the Ugly - Western, Twelve Angry Man - court case etc).
After big let down of suicide squad i stopped caring about trailers and now enjoy much more movies.
Yeah, sometimes the hype kills the movie.
Not a movie, but digimon adventure 1. I loved it as a kid watching all the digimon fights. I watched it again later in life and it was even better when I noticed all the character development.
Rise of Skywalker - after the previous one, I expected to hate it, and was only seeing it to be done with the series. But I actually loved it.
I know it's goofy as hell, but it just felt like a proper Star Wars movie to me, it was fast, fun entertainment and it undid a lot of things I hated in Last Jedi.
Good answer, considering everyone else thinks that's movie is an abomination.

I personally think that just almost every individual idea that was in the sequels were good ideas if taken on their own, it's just that none of them were really fleshed out enough or strung together in good ways. As a cohesive trilogy they fall kind of flat (and that may be too kind) but if you think of them more as a series of vignettes each part of them works pretty well IMO.
