Thread: Movies that soured as you got older

Well I'm not one to dispute on his behalf (I don't like ET), but...

There were movies when I was a kid that I liked, but seeing them on TV in recent years just made me think what the hell. This thread is not to attack anyones choice in movies or the movie itself. It's just to see how ones mindset/tastes changes as you get older. Here's a few of my sour flicks: The Incredible...

Star Wars in general....Its aging I guess, but strangely enough Star Trek that seemed to age a long time ago, is actually somehow watchable, maybe its the humor or just fun of it.

Another vote for Star Wars here...

The Wizard Of Oz....just burned out on it. Guess growing up in the 60's spoiled it for me. Maybe if I were to pull of a Rip Van Winkle.......

pretty much all of them. few exceptions.

what I like, is that I can watch movies I wouldn't have had time for when I was much younger.

Ooh! Let's see: Super Fuzz My Science Project ...but stay tuned, I am sure I'll be able to jog my memory with more...
