A couple of movies I watched only knowing what the movie posters looked like: The Matrix and Fight Club. The former I thought looked really cheesy: ooh, a movie with black clothes and guns—yay.... The latter made me think, okay, a movie about fighting and soap, starring pretty boy Brad Pitt—yay....
Yeah, so I watched both of them and was pleasantly surprised with how cool they were. This was long after they came out on video.
