I'm OBSESSED with The Ten Commandments. It was my favorite movie as a kid. I own it now. Love it *glows*

I second SORORITY BOYS as being a movie i loved. There is a bar downtown that shows The Simpsons every Sunday night and then a random video/dvd afterwards, sometimes its a concert, like hte buzzcocks or something, other times its been boondock saints, or THE CHEERLEADERS. but that night it was sorority boys. i saw it again not too long ago (not that its an old movie to begin with) and it's every BIT as enjoyable the second time around. it was just ridiculously fun.

I loved The Neverending Story. Still do. The book was better, though.
Dave, all I can say is I'm shocked you feel that good about the Greedo-shoots-simultaneously-thereby-sparing-Han's-superior-morality thing. It's like having the bad guy fall from a great height onto something pointy (after refusing the hero's noble attempts to save him, o'course).
I think GL's gone bonkers with male menopause and whatever you call it when a man has nobody around him who'll tell him when he sucks.
But whatever. He's given me many scenes of Ewan McGregor wet and variously bound, so I'll forgive him.
One movie that really didn't age well is The Hidden though I still think it's fun.

I'll second Short Circuit. I loved that as a kid, but it was just painful to watch about a year ago.

quote:My entry? Amazon Women on the Moon. I own it, so I still watch it from time to time, but the first half dozen times I watched it I thought it was freaking brilliant. Now it's just mildly funny much of the time.
I think it's tough for comedies to remain screamingly funny over time. A big part of the humor is that it's unexpected. This effects the sketch humor type movies like Amazon Women on the Moon, Elephant Parts, and Kentucky Fried Movie more than most.

Dag, that post about Voltron and Star Blazers was awesome.

Sign of a true connoisseur of 70s/80s Japanese cartoons.

He seemed to have had no problem making a billion dollars from his "half-finished" movies.
Can I get my money back for all the tickets and VHS tapes I bought for an incomplete product?

Bah. The Neverending Story book was so much better than the movie, everyone who reads it forgets the movie.

Am I the only one here who always thought "Short Circuit" sucked and highly resented having paid money to see it in a theater? I mean, I was 16 but some of my friends thought it was funny, and I just didn't understand them.

I just don't like a bit of the puppetering in it... Though, You have to love Benjamin

Or Number 5/Number Johnny 5

Ahhh... I take that back, I still love the movie.

My old Sunday School teacher grew up next door to George Lucas. She said he was a spoiled little brat who ratted her out for riding his dad's steers.

"Pollyanna". In fact, most movies involving Hayley Mills.
Except "Tiger Bay" because Horst Buchholz is yummy.
Also, most Disney animated features that came out when I was in elementary school and early high school. I tried to watch "The Little Mermaid" a while ago and couldn't sit through it.
If you still love them, I apologize. I just can't watch them anymore.
On the other hand, some movies just get better and better. "Gorgo" and "Mothra" were movies I watched over and over again as a kid, and I still love them. Along with "Forbidden Planet", "Horror of Dracula", "Dumbo", "The Day The Earth Stood Still", and, of course, "The Neverending Story", which never HAD a sequel, just like they never made a third or fourth "Aliens" movie, and "Terminator 3" just doesn't count.
"Buckaroo Banzai" was silly when I saw it the first time, and it's sillier now, but I still love it.
"Where are we going?" "PLANET TEN!" "When are we going?" "REAL SOON!"
