Movies like The Goonies and Lost Boys, Just One of the Guys come to mind.

I ask this because i get alil upset when certain people say some of these movies suck or are just "ok", and i know it's because they never saw them as kids.

What are some others?

I watched it for the first time with the fam last year around Christmas and I kept dozing off. I gave up about 2/3 into it. I think part of it is, now that I'm grown up, I don't really care for musicals (with a few exceptions). Loved 'em as a kid, tho'.

I never really saw it all the way through until I was about 16 or 18. It's a great idea: use your computer to build a super model who wants to hang out with you. I imagine that would appeal to all men across all age groups.

>fish that saved pittsburgh


you hadda be there
but watching dr. j dunk in the park in street shoes, priceless...
as an adult, i was like, why aint he slip & bust his ass?
as a kid? man, i was in awe at those dunks!

only if you were the only kid in America who didnt watch the show. All in all it's still a "cartoon" movie and if you like anime you should like this film no matter what.

And of course since I live with a lil cousin i had to pass on the legacy. He was AMAZED when he say Megatron transform into a gun and merk them on the ship.

It's a shame they dont make em like they use to for these kids

probably one of the only cartoon series where characters actually died... this movie was real heavy emotionally... tell me you didn't feel SOMETHING after seeing Optimus turn gray and tilt his head and die...

I'm guessing The Princess Bride

I saw that for the first time when I was in college. It remains one of my favorites to this day. Most of my friends that like this movie didn't see it until they were older as well and love it too.

That's just us though.

but that is such a well written/acted/directed movie that anyone should be able to appreciate it

>but that is such a well written/acted/directed movie that
>anyone should be able to appreciate it

1 of those flicks I've never tried watching from the start. But every time I tune in I lose interest quickly. Velveeta factor perhaps.

I still maintain if I saw those when I was 7 years old, I'd like them just as much as IV through VI.

special effects being equal? 4 through 6 have a clear story and dialogue advantage, to my mind. The whole Anakin/Padme romance angle is wretch-inducing. And Jar Jar more than cancels out the Ewoks.

Funny as hell for the quotes and the campiness, but really not as good of a movie as I thought it was when I was nine.

but all I really remember is John Bigboote, who kept getting his name mispronounced.

I remember it seeming similar to The Last Starfighter, which I also liked but thought was pretty weird.

I enjoyed it only because it was funny to watch my roommate, a glowering, taciturn linebacker, sing along to all the songs with childish glee. Well that and the oompa-loompas.

Not sure, I don't remember. But I saw it right after I saw the new one, and I realized that absolutely EVERYTHING about the Wilder version is better. Literally everything.

Mostly because Gene Wilder is an absolute genius.

and I like Gene Wilder a lot, or at least in those Mel Brooks comedies I do.

But I had read both books as a kid, multiple times, and was really disappointed when I saw it, that they turned it into a musical. And it's been a long time since I read either of the books, but I felt the movie didn't really get the tone or the nuances down either. So maybe it's just another example of the movie not being as good as the book, but I think it fits for this post too. And either way, that movie's only a cult classic, not "still fucking classic", imo.

That shit was rated R. I was 20 when I saw that shit.

|Fliteweight|

...read the original post.

I've heard people talk shit about both of those movies numerous times, plenty of those times on this board, and I know that it directly relates to the fact that they didn't see them when they were kids.

So chill.

but each movie is perfectly enjoyable as an adult, w/out prior childhood viewings.

to give credence to those among us that are clearly deficient enough to say otherwise is, in my opinion, buggin'.


|Fliteweight|

I just saw it for the first time @ 21 and I loved it. Most friends saw it when they were older too and they also liked it.

...I ain't talkin' about you or your friends, I'm talkin' about me and what I've heard people say in my life.

Why is this concept so hard for some people to grasp?

I don't think you can truly appreciate the subversive commentary unless you realize that it completely duped your ass the first time you watched it.

yeah all those. not good movies overall, but to this day i will watch them whenever they're on.

the third mighty ducks is not really worth talking about.

heavyweights is maybe my favourite childhood movie, and is still fucking hilarious today. i actually picked up the dvd last month and have maybe seen it 3 times since then. but dont deny that if you should it to an adult film buff, they wouldnt hack it to shit. "ben stiller is an egotistical idiot who plays the same role in everything. they were playing off of the success of goldberg and nucklepuck." blah blah blah.

you know im right.

Well I saw it 4 the 1st time about a year ago & enjoyed it quite a bit 4 a kids flick.

my friends and I tried to show it to my old roomate who had never seen it and it just didn't work.

Luckily (I think) most of my friends have seen it.

But if someone says they hate The Sandlot, I probably can't be friends with them anymore. That's that.

I love that movie.

peace.

that movie's amazing.

Because I saw that for the first time a few days ago and it failed to terrify, even though so many people cite as one of the scariest movies they ever saw as a kid.

Also, I saw Labryinth a few years ago and it didn't do much for me.

Not terrifying, but still pretty enjoyable, I'm not sure quite how but it is.

Well shot, with some kind of creepy elements. But I kept on hearing people list it among their scariest movies.

I use to love that movie. I bought it 2 weeks ago. It gave me that warm fuzzy feeling, but that movie isn't all that I remember.

sorry to get off topic, but isn't that from Garfield's Halloween special? i just got a warm fuzzy flashback of sitting in front of the tv watching it in '87 or so.

>simply because I did see it as a kid.
where do you get off having tits

probably the labyrinth too

the part with the horse and the quicksand...brrrrrrr.

I brought that movie like a year ago, and I was so amazed at how cheesy that part looked. I wonder if that part affected me when I was younger.

how are they gonna kill Artex???? BASTAAARDS!!! (c) Marty McFly

Not sure who dragged me but I was expecting 2 be pissed & ended up enjoying it

it's scared the shit outta me. changing into pigs and shit, unbelievable.

Saw this about a year ago and was highly dissapointed. Gilliam's worst that I've seen IMO.

fuck it though, I still love it

It's one of my favorite movies, but if I hadn't seen it as a kid and developed a sentimental attachment to it, I would be way more bothered by the fact that the main characters all looked like they hadn't seen the inside of a high school for at *least* 5 years.

Having problems with the guy you like? Become sluttier!

pretty much any 80s kids/teen movies. Shit, I even know people who saw ET for the first time at 18 or 19 and said it was crap (needless to say I am not friends with these people anymore)

that movie use to trip me out. and ET "crap," you should've hit them kats wit a dragon punch-- "somebody get 'em a body bag...YEAHHH!!!!" is heard in background

thats my classic

don't forget the steven seagal wannabe who played the villain... that man was fantastic!


no dice on the sig.

If you're looking for a horry movie and you expect todays definition of a horror movie you won;t get it. But to this day I can't watch the whole movie!!

All these would suck balls if I hadn't seen them as a kid.

were about to go out one night but Disorderlies came on and I told her we couldn't leave. I didn't know the next time it would be on tv again, the last time I watched it I was like 9 or something. I told her how funny it was and that she'd regret not watching it...

I kept saying "It's about to get funny, just wait," but after 45 she got fed up lol.

I love the little guy~

known to this generation as Superman
man, i cant believe how slow movies movie when i was a kid
nigga flew outta the fortress of solitude as Superman 45 minutes into the flick
that's Ang Lee's The Hulk status in 2005

plus some of those 'special effects' were lame even for '77

The Legend of Billie Jean, near dark ( early 90's ), The hills have eyes, Demons...

this was dope too

that was dope as hell...

*DUCKS FRUIT*

To me this was one of the coolest movies when I was a kid. It had me thinking Turbo and OZone were cool.

It was hype as hell when I was a kid. When Sci-Fi channel replayed it a few years back, it didn't hold up.
