Yup.
The best part was watching my 9 year old daughter look at my wife and I like we were nuts as we sang along to the Turtle Power song during the end credits.

I saw that again recently, but this time I finally realized that Elias Koteas played Casey Jones. So weird. He's so young, with long, flowing hair.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit/Cool World....any of those live action/animation films from the 90s. Wow...POOP. WFRR has been on TV lately in HD and I don't think that HD can help these....granted, the concept wasn't even new at the time, but at the time, they seemed better.
My 4 year old watched about 10 seconds of Roger Rabbit today, and she asked me to change the channel. holy crap, am i old? or are kids spoiled? both?

Dark crystal does not hold up.
I do however feel, pulp fiction not only holds up, but is. Better....

I'm going to have to agree about Pulp Fiction not holding up as well. Yes, there's a lot of really good stuff in it. I'm not even saying it's bad, or even mediocre now. It's a decent film, but it doesn't engage me the way it used to. For all the good stuff, it seems like there's a lot of BS as well. Speaking of films that used to be a favorite, but doesn't hold up as well: Requiem For A Dream. It has great performances all around, but something about it doesn't work for me anymore. It doesn't move me the way it used to.
Mine too..... it just comes across as hokey to me now...

lol age fail. lol
well it's like I talk to people and they dont remember the 1980's so weird, like they don't know what wayne's world is either ah, you're killing me. you don't know what jurassic park is ahhhhh. whats robocop AHHHHHH.
there two different things about me when it comes to films I watch.... I loved kill bill vol. 1 but can barely watch it, i'll watch the second half now. I just think its a better film in the second half when i watch it now, (if it were whole it would be better).
but there are tons out there.
predator, alien, aliens, aliens 3, total recall, terminator 2 and tmnt 1 still hold to to this day and those are movie i watched all the time when i was a child.
both the bill and ted movie's have gotten better to me as well. very clever and funny.

Total Recall is still great to me. I do believe that was the first and last time that a tri-breasted woman has ever appeared on screen.:thumbsup:

The Goonies was/is most awesome. Sloth is the greatest.

Sloth was indeed the greatest.
