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?

Weird Science comes to mind as well.; ▶ Reply to This

Another one I can't quite explain my fascination with is "The People Under The Stairs". Weird; ▶ Reply to This
