pretty much all of them. like if you watched the mighty ducks today for the first time and had never heard a thing about it, youd be like this shite sucks.

doesnt matter though, since it's fricking amazing.

I loved this super obscure movie that my parents had on VHS for some reason called "And You Thought Your Parents Were Weird. "

Strange film.

I probably should have excluded movies that were made for kids, but then that might of started a whole mess about what movies were "made for kids" and which werent. The example in the OP was probably PG-13 so by deffinition its not made for kids, but some of the action/plot can make a good case it was made with a kid audience in mind (besides Batmans groin shots, some pervert did that and should probably be arrested)

Going to a movie was such a big deal as a kid (that would be in the late 60's and early 70's for me) that I thought everything I saw was awesome. From King Kong at the drive in to Legend of Boggy Creek- it was all great to me.

In high school my buddies and I thought Deuces Wild was about as good as it gets. It came on a few months ago and was just laughably bad. Now The Outsiders? That's a gang book/movie that holds up.

One summer a buddy and I went to the dollar cinema every day, for like 3 weeks straight, to watch it.

As for me, I thought Spice World was the best movie ever.

I'm in my 20's, and think it's a really dumb, pointless movie but I still enjoy watching it occasionally for nostalgia's sake.

When I was a kid, I thought the Star Wars movies were awesome. Now that I'm older, not so much. Never saw the latest 3

although i was 4 in 1980 when it came out, it must've played on HBO a lot when i was closer to 6-8 yrs old.

Flash Gordon. i know it's cheesy goodness and all but i tried to watch it not so long ago and yuck.

Freddie Mercury couldn't save that movie.
