Just watched Scary Movie for the first time since I was 16
 

Wow, thought this film was hilarious first time I seen it at 16 years old.

I'm drunk right now and easily amused but I can now see why Date Movie and Meet the Spartans are so bad, but popular with younger kids.

It's not even spoof movies, I can still piss myself at 'Not Another Teen Movie' and Mafia!. So are there any movies you thought were the shit when you were a kid, but fail as you got older?

Van Helsing was mediocre when I first saw it




Now it's absolute pigshit

The only one I can think of is Mary Poppins. I used to love it when I was around 6 or 7, now I can't do it. I just can't.

A Nightmare on Elm Street series of films. For some reason I loved "Drop Dead Fred" till I was 14. I'm not to much of a movie person, becuase I think to much, so it sucks the few movies I did like I now hate. I think one of the only movie I still like is Candyman.

Dunston Checks In needs to check out

Blank Check is still world class cinema

In all seriousness though, this does happen with a lot of movies for me. In high school, or earlier I thought they were great or at the very least tolerable, and upon revisiting them they're unbearable.

I'll give it some thought and come up with something

I still watch the Wizard, and am entertained by its obvious product placement.

I think the most frustrating thing with cinema, is how good people can like bad cinema, and you just want to explain to them how bad it is, but they just don't get it.

And even those with good tastes can be suckered in by the occasional stinker, merely because it represents a style. I've found a lot of my friends I can chat to good movies about absolutely adore noir, but they have no real clue what the true virtues of noir are, and they will sing the praises of anything just because it's got a narrator mixing metaphors.

I'm sad to say this but the Bill & Ted movies, and Wayne's World have not lived up well. Don't get me wrong, I still love them. But something has disappeared over time. This makes me sad.

I personally still love Wayne's World, but I watched it with a friend who had never seen it, and he just could not understand what was great about it. It drove me insane, because it was just me and him, and there was no one else to tell him to shut the fuck up and appreciate it because it's Wayne's World.

It was a great movie to see in the cinemas, but I have not been able to watch Pirates of the Caribbean since. I loved Johnny Depp's performance, and it was fun the first time, through, but I just cannot be fucked to revisit it.
