The only exception I know is the case of these sublimely Romantic Movies:
It Happened One Night (1934) - And history was made, in this Academy Award-winning showcase that put its two stars and Frank Capra on the map.The Lady Eve (1941) - I've blogged about this one previously. Jack Nicholson's favorite movie (or so I've heard).My Brilliant Career (1979) - Judy Davis purportedly dislikes her peformance in this movie. But since when is an artist the best judge of her own work? Manhattan (1979) - A Valentine to New York City.The More the Merrier (1943) - In which Joel McCrea and Jean Arthur meet cute - and stay that way.My Night at Maud's (1969) - Actually anything directed by Eric Rohmer would qualify as sublimely romantic.Roman Holiday (1953) - Ditto anything starring Audrey Hepburn.The Shop Around the Corner (1940) - In which Margaret Sullavan and James Stewart make beautiful music together. Yards better than the sequels (You've Got Mail and In the Good Old Summertime).The Thomas Crown Affair (1968) - The original, a gorgeous confection, starring Faye Dunaway and Steve McQueen, two of the most glamorous people alive (at least at the time).To Catch a Thief (1955) - Cary Grant/Grace Kelly/the French Riviera - need I say more?

It is useful to try everything in practise anyway and I like that here it's always possible to find something new. :)
