Space Jam. It's not a bad film, it's a good "bad film". It's like everyone involved from the writers to the voice actors to the lighting and camera crews knew this was going to be a pile of crap so they said screw it and just had the most fun making said crap pile. That shows through, and it totally saves the film! It is no longer just a lazily made cash grab, it's a "look what you get to do sometimes if you allow yourself to have fun" statement. As a film it should be bad but all that heart in it makes it good!

The Ace Ventura sequel, When Nature Calls. My gooey adolescent brain ate it up and it is one of the few movies from my childhood where I can set aside everything I've learned and just enjoy it.
I academically know it's bad and wildly problematic, I'm not blind, but nostalgia can be pretty powerful.
If somebody doesn't find that rhino birth scene funny, we can't be friends. I still shake violently watching that.
Any old Jim Carey movie for me tbh

Kung Pow: Enter the Fist. Steve Oedekerk is a genius.
I will never understand people who think this movie isn't funny - endlessly quotable:
"That's a lot of nuts!" "You should be able to beat him now!" "Beware his song about big butts, he beats you up while he plays it!"
I could go on. In a just world he would have gotten to make more films, and not just thumb parody movies.
I am bleeding, making me the victor!

Tim Curry as the toxic Hexus dude is amazing
Tim Curry ~~as the toxic Hexus dude~~ is amazing
Tim Curry has brought so much to every roll. High-school friends of me swooned over him in Muppet Treasure Island... and we can never forget.
SPACE!
That movie was definitely part of my formative years growing up
But seriously, why are all these movies reminding me of all the great songs. Makes me realize we just don't have that many these days with great original soundtracks
Joe dirt and Mr. deeds
Joe Dirt is a fantastic movie.

- Dragonslayer
- Excalibur
- Time Bandits
Time Bandits is still great, though.
R-R-RETURN THE MAP!!
R-R-RETURN WHAT YOU HAVE STOLEN!!
"Maximum Overdrive" for me.
Also, great call on Megaforce.
Anaconda is a masterpiece. Fight me.
The Flight of Dragons (1982)
I haven't seen that since I was a kid, but I still remember this part: "Eleven! Your dragon fire melts my eyes."
I might not even have the quote right but that's what kid-me remembers.
Yeah, itβs a bit off, LOL. But from now on Iβll hear it your way :)

They Live and The Stuff. Watched them again recently and really enjoyed them.
I saw the stuff for the first time recently and it's underrated. No nostalgia required

Early Jean-Claude Van Damme Cyborg, Ultimate Soldier, Kickboxer, Lionheart, but mostly Bloodsport.
Flight of the navigator.
An entire film to make one E.T. joke.
Back to the future trilogy
Are you kidding me? That was a masterpiece the first time I watched it and it continues to be one every time I rewatch it.

Oh man - hard disagree on this one for me. Still rates up there as one of the best adventure franchises of all time. We rewatch the trilogy as a family at least once every year or two, and always (re)notice awesome little easter eggs each time.
Plus, entirely safe for family viewing. It's getting harder and harder to find movies series like that where the teenagers will still enjoy it, and the young 'un can get into it.
