Flight of the Navigator and The Never Ending Story are still good movies.

Maybe even Little Monsters, even though I haven't seen that one in ages.

I'm still convinced the movie below is a great movie, and own it on DVD. What's funny about that is it is the ONLY movie I own on DVD.

It was my way of forcing people to watch it:


I mean, its got everything! Law school student (frick Paper Chase), chicks, beach bums, a great Olympic sport, chicks.

It was entertaining. People should realize that not all movies are made to win Oscars. Some are just fun and there's a place for those. Just sayin'

We talked about this before when I mentioned how bad it was now, right? It really is bad but it was awesome when we were kids.

#1 on my "movies that need to be remade" list.

Though it's awesome that they send Reinhard to hell. And show it.

coonheads (1993)
rad
bmx bandits
airborne
gleaming the cube
the wizard
willow
the princess bride
the last starfighter
harry and the hendersons



all good 80's and I added coneheads movies to watch when you were a kid, some still hold water but some are cheesy and I would be alright if they rebooted a few.

Still awesome and quite quotable. It was intentionally cheesy.

Good call. Another one that can do well with a remake.

I'm late to this party but to those of you who said:

Cobra
Little Monsters
Never Ending Story
Commando

You need to shut your whore mouths, and may God have mercy on your souls!

Now, with that out of the way, I just recently watched the Land Before Time with my 4 year old. It was the first time I had seen it since its release and as previously posted it fits this thread. It was an ok film, but no where near what I remembered it to be.
