Movies that haven't aged well

[Cold Stout Beer]

All of the Pierce Brosnan Bond films, which I enjoyed in the 90s, absolutely suck now. Great call.

I see you posting laughing emojis in the political thread tonight. Is it true that the reason you got thrown out of that thread was because you called Justice Thomas the N word ??

Talk about a movie that has aged very well. IMO.

Also, here's a movie that has aged almost to perfection.

Love that one. Think I have the dvd around here somewhere. I listened to a bit of a podcast once where these two guys reviewed PCU and hated it. Said it was offensive and stereotypical. Talk about completely missing the point...

I was in my mid teens in the 80s/90s and was sure JCVD was the greatest action star of all time.

Exactly zero of his movies I watched dozens of times on VHS is watchable now.

Is it streaming somewhere?

I'd have to look. It was an almost completely forgotten movie unless you were growing up during this time. But it's becoming a bit of a cult classic just for how it sort of called a lot of what we are going through now.

Plus I think it really nailed college life and the various groups of people you meet. Jake Bussey as a Frisbee playing hippee? Absolutely.

Semi related, but Under Siege, starring Jake’s dad, is one of a very few SS movies that actually hold up.

I can state that I actually hated every movie he made except one..TimeCop. And I have no idea why I like it. 😃

That popped on my Prime today. Almost watched it. Maybe tomorrow.

You shave your ass! Bloodsport holds up extremely well!

I'll push back on 80s horror. You mean all those schlocky, badly acted movies made for a VHS era for a nickel each didn't age well? Buddy, they were meant to be bad. I still love them but they were always bad. As a horror fan, I recognize it and enjoy them for what they are.

- Teen sex comedies like Porky's, Revenge of the Nerds, and American Pie because those films had predatory guys either stalking, trying to rape, or finding ways to stare at girls in their bedrooms, locker rooms, or showers and it was seen as lighthearted, funny, and normal.

- Breakfast at Tiffany's and Murder By Death included white men as Asians with big teeth and slanted eyes.

- Soul Man's entire plot was a white guy in black face and a wig. That was the movie.

- a few Slater joints...I love Pump Up the Volume but teens don't gather round radios anymore and no one gives a shit about the FCC now. The Wizard - just a commercial for Nintendo and the Power Glove with a scene of kids calling one of those gaming help lines. Untamed Heart - Slater's character breaks into a girl's bedroom and leaves a Christmas tree. He's somehow rewarded by getting the girl afterward.

Why doesn't it shock me you see teen sex comedies as "predatory"? LOL I feel like you have 100 testosterone level. If you can't laugh at porky's then you have a serious problem in your masculinity. It's an obvious comedy. LOL.

Man, you are missing a lot of really good movies.

Lots of 90s action movies are awful - Bad Boys, The Mummy, Armageddon, etc. Any Pauley Shore Movie.

The Mummy has gotten better with age.

Ooo that last one stings a bit.

I know he's not well received, but I still love BioDome and others. I also love seeing him get roasted like this:
