I ran into an old movie I had on VHS as a kid titled “MegaForce” (1982) (RT link). I hadn’t seen the movie in decades and was worried looking at a rotten tomato score of 6% that if I watched it, I would be completely disappointed in the movie as an adult. Surprisingly, I didn’t realize as a kid that it was actually more of a spoof comedy action movie like a knock-off “Hot Shots” or “Naked Gun” and just completely enjoyed watching it again because it felt like a whole new experience (definitely better than the new G.I. Joe’s lol).
So what’s your movie from your past that you’ll always enjoy no matter how cheesy or horrible it may seem?
Flight of the navigator.
An entire film to make one E.T. joke.
Good Burger
Rewatching Good Burger a week after I watched “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV” was a mistake. I could have remained nostalgia blind about the guy who plays the Good Burger General Manager, but no, I had to go and learn all the horrible dark shit he did.
I don’t think I need to know about that
“Maximum Overdrive” for me.
Also, great call on Megaforce.
Megaforce was 70s Command and Conquer.
Condorman
Back to the future trilogy
Are you kidding me? That was a masterpiece the first time I watched it and it continues to be one every time I rewatch it.
I agree with you, but I’ve met too many people who have a lot of criticism for it. Should I just remove the comment?
IMO, you should comment about your own opinion, not one you think others might have.
Also IMO, removing comments should rarely be done (i.e. only in extreme cases), to maintain the integrity of the discussion. This is one of the things I still miss about Slashdot: comments were immutable.
Oh man - hard disagree on this one for me. Still rates up there as one of the best adventure franchise of all time. We rewatch the trilogy as a family at least once every year or two, and always (re)notice awesome little easter eggs each time.
Plus, entirely safe for family viewing. It’s getting harder and harder to find a movies series like that where the teenagers will still enjoy it, and the young 'un can get into it.
Little Monsters
Still fun. Still relevant.
Brainscan
The FMV parts of Jedi Knight 2
Just the finest 90s shlock
Early Jean-Claude Van Damme Cyborg, Ultimate Soldier, Kickboxer, Lionheart, but mostly Bloodsport.
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.
holy crap yes, the treasure island’s song still slaps!
Kung Pow: Enter the Fist. Steve Oedekerk is a genius.
How do you like my face to your foot style? ^Squeak ^^Squeak ^^^Squeak
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.
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
So… you weren’t blinded by nostalgia and they were still good? 🤔

Totally- I just think the person I replied to didn’t quite understand the question asked 😆
The Iron Giant. It isn’t horrible, but its a lot better in my memory than when I watched it in my adulthood.
Sucker Punch
Zack snyder and female empowerment are like oil and water, but the cgi was purdy.
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
