Members DRW50 Posted April 17, 2013 Members Share Posted April 17, 2013 There are some parts of Live and Let Die that stand out in an interesting way (like the funeral scene, and the stuff on the train), but the Jane Seymour parts and the skeevy vibe of "James is with a black chick! Look how daring we are!" I could do without. The part in the opening where the naked shadow woman wanders around high-fiving angels, or whatever she's doing, annoys me.

Members DRW50 Posted April 17, 2013 Members Share Posted April 17, 2013 I'd probably add Diamonds are Forever to this. I enjoyed the movie quite a bit when I was younger. I even have the soundtrack. But the homophobia is tough to get past now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soaplovers Posted April 19, 2013 Members Share Posted April 19, 2013 Ah, Batman from 1989.. such a relic of the time. I think of Prince everytime I think of that movie. I even had a Batman themed birthday party the year the movie came out LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted April 21, 2013 Members Share Posted April 21, 2013 For some reason, all I can think of when I think of that movie is His Purple Majesty yelling "Vicki Vale!" in the soundtrack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted April 22, 2013 Members Share Posted April 22, 2013 I love Jack Nicholson in that movie, sighing to himself about how tough a day he had. The second movie was better with Catwoman and Penguin, but I still enjoy all things Bat so I will always love the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted April 22, 2013 Members Share Posted April 22, 2013 Shes All That and Cant Hardly Wait both just feel so dated while some 90's teen movies hold up well (Clueless, oddly enough as it is just soooo 90's and set fashion and language trends) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members VirginiaHamilton Posted April 22, 2013 Author Members Share Posted April 22, 2013 Speaking of dated teen flicks, I know this qualifies as a UO (since I know how beloved it is by many), but this: didn't age well at all. I remember laughing at this as a kid, but being underwhelmed by the cheap and unfunny jokes throughout the flick as an adult. The presence of didn't help matters, either... I'm on the fence about though, since I haven't decided if I'm underwhelmed by this flick because it hasn't aged well since it came out almost 20 years ago or because it just wasn't that good.

Members Soaplovers Posted April 22, 2013 Members Share Posted April 22, 2013 I agree that Sixteen candles and Breakfast Club haven't aged well.. though one movie aged really well and it's from the 80s... Considering all the issues with bullying, suicide, etc... it makes the black comedy all the more tragic nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members VirginiaHamilton Posted April 22, 2013 Author Members Share Posted April 22, 2013 I think it was helped by the fact that it was ahead of its time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EricMontreal22 Posted April 22, 2013 Members Share Posted April 22, 2013 I imagine most people could not mention an RR film outside of HGF and possibly Gypsy, and Claudette Colbert is one of those one-time stars now forgotten. What about Auntie Mame? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted April 23, 2013 Members Share Posted April 23, 2013 I think the two "John Hughes" brat-pack movies that are always associated with him but he wrote and produced, but Howard Deutch directed, hold up much better--Pretty in Pink and Some Kind of Wonderful.

Members MissLlanviewPA Posted May 6, 2013 Members Share Posted May 6, 2013 I love both Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club to this day (but I was born in 1989, so it could be that I wish I had grown up in the 80s more than anything else)--Sixteen Candles is actually my favorite Brat Pack movie as done by John Hughes--but here's a HUGE UO: my favorite Brat Pack movie of all is actually the Joel Schumacher-directed St. Elmo's Fire. I don't care how dated, narmy, or pusedo-pretentious it is, I LOVE and ADORE that movie, and the Love Theme OWNS MY HEART. And no one, NO ONE, will EVER convince me otherwise.

Members All My Shadows Posted May 6, 2013 Members Share Posted May 6, 2013 I still enjoy Can't Hardly Wait, but part of it is because it is such a 90s time capsule, and it takes me right back to that era immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
