This board never ceases to amaze me. The Goonies, Spaceballs, Weird Science, and Ace Ventura don't belong anywhere in this thread. If someone drops Ferris Bueller, I'm RAing for being a dumbass.

Sixteen Candles hasn't aged well.

Of course who you are and how old you are when you see something changes your interpretation of it, but...

I noticed that just about everyone in that movie is an a-hole.

For me it's Hollywood Knights and the Warriors. Saw them both on HBO as a young teenager. Watched the Warriors about a year ago and it just doesn't hold up.
Hollywood Knights, while still funny at times, doesn't seem near as good as it did back then

This, and all of the other non-animated Disney movies,

Except for:

The Incredible Journey IMDb
Old Yeller
Swiss Family Robinson
Follow Me, Boys! IMDb

Sorry for listing the ones I like, but it was easier than listing all of the Fred McMurray, Dean Jones & Kurt Russell Disney movies that suck.

I can't stand Jim Carrey's over the top slap stick as an adult.


Some of us saw this stuff for the first time as adults and never liked it.

I loved him on In Living Color but that was for a couple of minutes at a time.

Ninja Turtles came on not too long ago so I said what the hell. God bless my parents for sitting through that crap when I was a kid. That was terrible.

Spaceballs


This certainly does not fit in this list.


Although, speaking of Sho Nuff, I'd like to see that again now that I'm older.
And someone mentioned Monster Squad, might also be interesting.

I don't get the hate for it now. I watched it all the time as a kid. I saw it a few weeks ago, and was still entertained by it. Yes its cheesy, but its supposed to be. Everything released around that time was cheesy. The Goonies is possibly the cheesiest movie ever invented, and is still one of my favorites.

Ace Ventura. Now I can't watch them without stabbing my eyes out
I thin Ace is still hilarious. I cry when he is crawling out of that rhino.
