> I've never heard of the MPAA slapping a new certification on an already approved movie
At least in the UK, from what I understand, if you make a "not actually new" release (by adding something like a director's commentary), it has to be re-rated by the BBFC. There's also the case of, IIRC, "The Specialist" which was a 15 in cinemas but an 18 when later released on video.[1]
(None of which is relevant to the YouTube argument, mind.)

Teacher is totally right. I used to be a movie buff, I started with the best movies and drilled down like. If I like a movie, I will check director or hero/heroine and start watching their flims. This started in 2004 beginning of torrents. I almost all movies, I ever liked in a 2tb hard disk. Nowadays I just re-download for better print but even I am not sure why I am doing I do it. When it started to hitt downturn is, at a point I was watching movies just to understand what the director is trying to tell as someone has produced this movie. I slowly started to cut back like I don't watch movies if it's more than 130mins and started cutting down the time.
If is say what's my best its mostly the ones between 1980 to 2005. Everything after that was too much CGI or it was like okay movie.
Like comedies I liked were Encino man, son in law, first few parts of police academy, jury duty.
Action movies Conair, lost in space, broken Arrow, specialist, assassins. Desperado.
