Here's another one for the list. I hate to say it, and it's certainly quotable, and the basis for many pop-culture and "literary" references, but
Caddyshack
is really not so good, now that I watch it as a grown-up. There, I've said it. I feel like a weight has been lifted, thanks.
I saw a show on the filming of Caddyshack. It was one big cokefest. Rodney Dangerfield was the biggest cokehead of all. The actors, the crew, most people who were there was just partying their brains out the whole time they made this movie.
I have to go with "Saturday Night Fever", being a Brooklynite all my life, it was so cool to see it, we must have seen it about 28 times through the years.
But now that I am so much older, it was stupid, the boys were ignorant and made all Brooklynite's to be that way, and we aren't. Tony's parents were idiots, low class people.

Even Ted Knight?! On the other hand, it was the late 70s...
The movies I saw when I was younger were Huntz Hall and the Bowery Boys and westerns with Randolph Scott.
I don't think Fellini films stood the test of time very well. I think I only liked Bergman because I thought I was supposed to.
Most of the movies we loved the most, we loved because they were groundbreaking, like Blackboard Jungle and Pawnbroker and On the Waterfront, and Last Tango in Paris, and they seem pretty simplistic now, because they depended on the avant-garde for their appeal, and there was little of cinematic substance in them.
Every once in a while I see a movie that remains fresh after several decades, like Man with the Golden Arm and Sex Lies and Videotapes. I think there ought to be an Oscar category for pictures that still seem fresh after 30 years or so.
Agreed on most but, I still like the old Randolph Scott movies because I liked his southern accent.....and always the scenery....I like westerns period.
I still love Caddyshack and I only started to love it as an adult. LOL.
...snipped...When I was a teenager, I loved Gone With the Wind. Now I watch it and am overwhelmed by what a lousy actor Clark Gable is. ....snipped....
a pox on you...! LOL. I guess at almost 70, watching Clark Gable in GWTW is one of the few romantic illusions that I still cultivate.....I always cry when he leaves Scarlet so finally....a wonderful movie.
Leslie Howard (Ashley Wilkes) is the most stilted actor ever and I cringe when I watch him. The rest of the cast is spot on....IMO.
I watched it again recently, since it must have been pretty much two decades since the first time I watched it, and I still found it quite charming . Abandoned talking objects from the owner's childhood trying to re-united with their "master".
Take the scene of the junkyard song "Worthless", which is one of the darkest and thought-provoking scenes (well to me, at least) of a kid's film, with singing cars and trucks aware of, and mentioning the end of their lives as they face it!
Also, apparently the last Toy Story plot (though I didn't watch it) had a lot of overlap with that of the Brave Little Toaster.
I love this movie, then and now.
I enjoy all of the Disney movies and one of my all time favorites is Robin Hood with Roger Miller singing....some of those films were pretty sophisticated with their inside joke style....
I remember being scared witless @ about 8 years old by Them. I watched it years later....oh my....I laughed myself witless....
The Brave Little Toaster is awesome. I still quote it in times of distress: "If only we were weiner dogs, all our problems would be solved!"
