--- Quote from: harveybirdman on December 29, 2015, 11:48:03 am ---That's fair but there are plenty of things that I loved when I was 9 that don't exactly hold up when watching again years later as an adult. Here's a brief list. Legend Labyrinth The Last Star Fighter Big Trouble in Little China Krull Clash of the Titans (original) The Dark Crystal Flash Gordon Dune Critters Short Circuit ETC ETC ETC --- End quote --- I know what you mean. A few years ago I eagerly showed my youngest son The Last Starfighter and was cringing before the halfway mark. Same thing with Cloak and Dagger. I'm a lot more selective now when showing the kids my "favorites". --- Quote from: CheffoJeffo on December 29, 2015, 08:36:56 am ---To my mind, the best measure of Episode VII's success is the fact that my youngest walks around the house humming the Imperial March and that my two sons spend hours together in the same room playing Battlefront. Neither had previously shown any significant interest in Star Wars despite my best efforts. :cheers: --- End quote --- My two youngest (who are in their teens) will not shut up about Star Wars after seeing EP7. They bombard me with questions and theories about Rey when I get home from work. It is awesome. |

I think Cloak and Dagger is okay, but I'm mostly looking for San Antonio landmarks. Of particular nitpicker interest is that they use a movie set Alamo instead of the real Alamo, and there's quite a few differences in the appearance. The set has been in so many movies over the years that even I first thought, "huh, they changed it around" when I saw the real thing as an adult. The Japanese gardens in that movie went from nice -> wasteland -> nice again. Most of the rest is the same now as it was then. There's also a lot of people getting killed in front of the protagonist, which is really rare in a kid's movie. |

I think The Last Starfighter has held up just fine. Top Gun, though, embarrasses the ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- out of me. |

Hater. |

I'll just watch the Kenny Loggins video if I ever need a fix. |
