Childhood favorite that's not so hot anymore? - Page 5 - Blu-ray Forum

I used to LOVE The Last Starfighter. Now i can't stand it. I mean, the graphics are SO dated and SO BAD that it is painful to watch now.

The Never Ending Story is another classic that I use to love and still do.

Footloose. I remember being a kid and every girl liked Kevin Bacon. Man that was a terrible movie. Is it just me or did Kenny Loggins pretty much own the 80's with his lousy movie songs?

Tcan21 · 09-19-2008, 11:04 PM

a couple of titles come to mind...Explorers with Ethan Hawke and River Phoenix and Lucas with Corey Haim and Charlie Sheen...I always tend to watch them whenever I find them on cable and it definitely takes me back to the day...also stupid horror movies like Ghoulies, Munchies, and The Gate still have a soft spot

cobra with stallone, loved it when it came out and i was alot younger. but now it just sucks balls!!!!

Uuah · 09-19-2008, 11:30 PM

The Dark Crystal.
I guess I realized my attraction to it was mostly aesthetic or something, but the story just doesn't do it for me anymore.

Blu-ray Fanatic · 09-19-2008, 11:37 PM

Another movie I use to watch repeatedly was Over The Top. I still watch it when it comes on tv.

masob98 · 09-19-2008, 11:45 PM

Howard the Duck.

I love that movie. I have it on dvd. I watch at least once a month. and Kenny Loggins did own the 80's with his AWESOME movie songs.

Haha, I can still remeber the training montages with his son and of course when it was time to get serious, he would flip his hat...

My mom used to let me stay up late to watch The Dukes of Hazard. It's not quite the tour de force I remembered.

davidxiphoid · 09-20-2008, 03:39 PM

Richard Donner Superman movies, the Tim Burton Batman Movies.

Barbie-Shrimp · 09-20-2008, 07:47 PM

American Werewolf in London. I still think it's okay, but it doesn't hit me the same. There were probably 15 years between viewings though.

Ukujiku · 09-20-2008, 07:58 PM

I still like The Never Ending Story, until I get to the ending. It used to be really cool to me, now it just seems kinda corny. Now I laugh every time the young princess yells out "say the name!" or something like that.

lemme have it, but deep down you know i'm right.

I also have my crash helmet on.....but I enjoyed Star Wars when I first saw it at the cinema back in the day, but not anymore. Saw it on the box recently and thought it was a bit hammy.

That probably explains why I have never owned a copy..in any format.
