I’m prepared for the downvotes but...

Monster squad is unwatchable now that I’m older than 13.

Think how bad the phantom menace would have been without the threesome fight

Masters of the Universe. I watched it religiously growing up. A couple of years ago I watched it again for the first time in 20 years. Boy is it bad, save Frank Langella’s performance.

Right after I saw it, I thought Flash Gordon was better than Star Wars.

I’ve got good news for you, it holds up. Steer clear of the sequels though.

My rotation as a kid was Karate Kid, Back to the Future, and Rocky IV. The only change is that I think that Daniel is the a-hole. Perspective is everything.

It did kind of unleash Jack Black on the world, so it has that going for it.

It actually holds up pretty well, and the parts that don't have so much nostalgia that it doesn't matter. Falcor yelling is fricking awesome.

Damn that’s a good one. I prolly watched that movie a few dozen times as a kid.

I can’t say I’ve changed my mind completely though. Is it good? No. It’s not terrible either. I’d watch it over any DCEU product not named WW and Shazam. Treat Williams went hilariously over the top.


This is one comic product though that could stand a reboot with more money put into the effects. I’d watch the hell out of it.

I haven't watched The Last Starfighter since I was a kid.

Not sure how that would hold up. But I pretty much have that movie memorized.

I still think a lot of the scenes would hold up okay though.
