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?
This morning I read a comment somewhere on Lemmy that linked to Jodorowskys Dune.
My father took me to see Star Wars when it was still only on in London, so I was 9 or 10.
The significance of that will become clear by watching this documentary. I can't believe I've only found out today.
That movie was definitely part of my formative years growing up

But seriously, why are all these movies reminding me of all the great songs. Makes me realize we just don't have that many these days with great original soundtracks
Sucker Punch
Zack snyder and female empowerment are like oil and water, but the cgi was purdy.
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.
Early Jean-Claude Van Damme Cyborg, Ultimate Soldier, Kickboxer, Lionheart, but mostly Bloodsport.
"Maximum Overdrive" for me.
Also, great call on Megaforce.

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
The Iron Giant. It isn't horrible, but its a lot better in my memory than when I watched it in my adulthood.
I can recognize that I love the Star Wars prequels for bad reasons.
But also they're still masterpieces actually.
