I can recognize that I love the Star Wars prequels for bad reasons.
But also they're still masterpieces actually.

The Iron Giant for me, but that's actually a really good movie
2010
Early Jean-Claude Van Damme Cyborg, Ultimate Soldier, Kickboxer, Lionheart, but mostly Bloodsport.
Brainscan
Flight of the navigator.
An entire film to make one E.T. joke.
The Iron Giant. It isn't horrible, but its a lot better in my memory than when I watched it in my adulthood.
Pretty much everything I liked as a kid I am lukewarm to now. However, there are a number of kid's books that I didn't "get" as a kid that I adore now
David Lynch's Dune. It was weird, inaccurate to the book in remarkable ways (wtf is a "weirding module") but I sincerely love it anyway.
EDIT: Sting as Feyd-Rautha screaming "I WILL KILL HIM" is amazing and the music absolutely slaps too.
As a millennial that first saw the SciFi miniseries be glad that your nostalgia isn't constantly trying to justify loving that... and I really do love that version of dune even with all the obvious flaws it has.
Sucker Punch
Zack snyder and female empowerment are like oil and water, but the cgi was purdy.
Anything muppets, I have so many positive memories, even the "so-so" movies make me smile ear to ear.
Moulin Rogue, it's been one-upped so hard in the movie-musical genre, but I saw it like 10 times in theaters (back when that wouldn't require a second mortgage) and still love it.
They Live and The Stuff. Watched them again recently and really enjoyed them.
I saw the stuff for the first time recently and it's underrated. No nostalgia required
Soβ¦ you werenβt blinded by nostalgia and they were still good? π€
Kung Pow: Enter the Fist. Steve Oedekerk is a genius.
Betty?
I will never understand people who think this movie isn't funny - endlessly quotable:
"That's a lot of nuts!" "You should be able to beat him now!" "Beware his song about big butts, he beats you up while he plays it!"
I could go on. In a just world he would have gotten to make more films, and not just thumb parody movies.
I am bleeding, making me the victor!
How do you like my face to your foot style? ^Squeak ^^Squeak ^^^Squeak
Little Monsters
Still fun. Still relevant.
The FMV parts of Jedi Knight 2
Just the finest 90s shlock
