The movies we loved then but question now

[The Dudes Dad]

We all have those movies that came out when we kids and did not know any better and then we go back in our 30's to re-watch them and wonder "Wht the hell was I thinking?

One that stands out for me is Can't buy me Love. It was one of Patrick Dempsey's early films. I loved it when I was younger but I can't even imagine watching it now. What are some of your?

[Karla]

Fright Night (I could watch that movoe over and over)
The Stuff - talk about "B" horror movies
The Last Dragon - who's the master? SHO-NUFF!

[The Dudes Dad]

I had totally forgotten about the Last Dragon. Such a horrendous movie that I loved as kid.

[PrincessB]

I still love Can't Buy Me Love! Haha!

Weird Science comes to mind as well.

[Karla]

Weird Science - YES!

Another one I can't quite explain my fascination with is "The People Under The Stairs". Weird

[Darlene]

Ugh... admittedly Ice Pirates. I could not get enough of that movie when I was a kid. Now I can't stand it.

I have to say that I DID recently re-watch McDreamy in "Can't Buy Me Love" when I came across it on Bravo one Saturday afternoon. It was as good as I remember. "It's the African Anteater Ritual!"

[Karla]

That remains one of the best movie dance scenes ever. Right up there with Cameron Diaz's Baby Got Back tribute in Charlie's Angels

Three words.......Hawk The Slayer.

Actually I still kinda love it if I'm honest.

[The Dudes Dad]

Add Krull to Hawk The Slayer.

"Valley Girl" is a movie I loved and watched many times after recording it on the VHS off a cable channel. I think I could watch it maybe once now but no more than that! Nicholas Cage has come a long way in acting skills.

Ummm, Xanadu was one for me. I used to watch this over and over. It had Olivia Newton John in it. I used to be totally crazy about it. I sat down with it as an adult and couldn't get through 30 minutes of it.

[The Dudes Dad]

I actually own it. It's the Soundtrack by E.L.O. I love that band. These days I don;t actually watch it. I turn it on when I am making dinner or cleaning the house just for the music.
