Movies you refuse to watch again because deep down you think they're not as you remember them. (Often because you watched them when you were a teen, and you've grown out of being an idiot.)

wild style didn't try too hard though. ahearn knew he was dealing with inexperienced actors but chose them for the legitimacy of the film. yeah there was a shitty plot, but at least for what he was trying to accomplish, i thought the film worked.

I just thought it was a sort of okay run of the mill 80s movie, and it wasn't until much later in life that I realized it was such a nostalgic cultural touchstone for people.
Like, I get the hype for Karate Kid. As soon as the credits started rolling I was up on the coffee table practicing my crane kicks to the soothing sounds of Survivor. It was no surprise to me that 20 years later people were still riding for it.

to be fair, I'm older than a lot of you guys, so I was in my Teens when it came out, so I'm probably on some "Fuck this kid shit". But naah. I don't get how all the 80's Babies act like it's their version of "American Graffiti". But yeah, ya'll can HAVE "The Goonies".

And you know how when you're a kid you can watch a movie over and over ad nauseum... I mean I had Neverending Story, Cloak and Dagger, Karate Kid... all them shits on VHS's that I just played and played until they turned to dust. Truth be told a movie didn't have to be all *that* good for me to put it on Repeat status. It just had to be halfway entertaining, really.

I remember loving Goonies when I was younger. I loved Chunk, I loved the dude with the face who's name I forget.
But I tried re-watching it 5 or 6 years ago? Nope. Not happening. Aside from a few moments it just doesn't do much for me. There are much better nostalgic 80s films.

I thought it was hilarious as a kid but nowadays, the only thing I find funny is the Chevy Chase-scene where he throws the drink over his shoulder (BTW, I think Chevy is underrated as fuck as a comedian), the rest is borderline unwatchable...
EDIT:I don't know if people are nostalgic over that movie though...
