I ran into an old movie I had on VHS as a kid titled “MegaForce” (1982) (RT link). I hadn’t seen the movie in decades and was worried looking at a rotten tomato score of 6% that if I watched it, I would be completely disappointed in the movie as an adult. Surprisingly, I didn’t realize as a kid that it was actually more of a spoof comedy action movie like a knock-off “Hot Shots” or “Naked Gun” and just completely enjoyed watching it again because it felt like a whole new experience (definitely better than the new G.I. Joe’s lol).

So what’s your movie from your past that you’ll always enjoy no matter how cheesy or horrible it may seem?

The Iron Giant. It isn’t horrible, but its a lot better in my memory than when I watched it in my adulthood.

Are you kidding me? That was a masterpiece the first time I watched it and it continues to be one every time I rewatch it.

I agree with you, but I’ve met too many people who have a lot of criticism for it. Should I just remove the comment?

IMO, you should comment about your own opinion, not one you think others might have.

Also IMO, removing comments should rarely be done (i.e. only in extreme cases), to maintain the integrity of the discussion. This is one of the things I still miss about Slashdot: comments were immutable.

Oh man - hard disagree on this one for me. Still rates up there as one of the best adventure franchises of all time. We rewatch the trilogy as a family at least once every year or two, and always (re)notice awesome little easter eggs each time.

Plus, entirely safe for family viewing. It’s getting harder and harder to find movies series like that where the teenagers will still enjoy it, and the young 'un can get into it.

That movie was definitely part of my formative years growing up

But seriously, why are all these movies reminding me of all the great songs. Makes me realize we just don’t have that many these days with great original soundtracks

Robin Williams - Batty Rap

Tim Curry has brought so much to every roll. High-school friends of me swooned over him in Muppet Treasure Island… and we can never forget.

SPACE!
