    Hook my beloved. I understand objectively why it is not a good movie, but having watched it 852 times throughout my childhood, I could not find fault with it on a recent rewatch.

    edit: I watched that movie so early and so often, that I can recite whole scenes not by word, but by phonemes and cadence, because my language skills weren’t fully developed at the time.

    I’ve not had a chance to experience this infamous Mario Bros movie. Hope I can find some time to sit down and really immerse myself.

    Also, can I interest anyone in the masterworks of Neil Breen?

    Thomas and the Magic Railroad. (2000) So bad it led to the franchise getting bought by SHiT HiT Entertainment. Less said about the show after that the better. Still, the OST is a bop, and Neil Crone was entertaining as hell to watch as Diesel 10.

    Oh there are so, so many awful movies that I loved as a kid that I have a positive memory of but would be better off not watching again to ruin that memory.

    Legend would have to be one of them. It’s still a spectacle to watch, and Tim Curry is incredible as Darkness, Robert Picardo is Meg Mucklebones, but it’s so far over the top it’s a fever dream.

    Cave Man with Ringo Star, Shelly Long, and Dennis Quaid. Laughed so hard I cried when I was a kid. Watched it again not too long ago and it’s pretty bad.

    Whoopee Boys, same as Cave Man. Cannot rewatch.

    Buckaroo Banzai, Revenge of the Nerds, so many other bad movies I loved as a kid. Most of the cheap action films too. Schwarzenegger’s, Stallone’s, Van Damme’s…so bad, lol. There were some absolutely great ones, though…the original Predator (‘87) comes to mind.

    1999’s The Night of the Headless Horseman. Very '90s CG but if you’re able to get past that it’s amazing, one of my top two favorite tellings of the tale, with voice actors including Mark Hamill, Clancy Brown, Tia Carrere, Bill Fagerbakke, and William H Macy.

    idk if it was terrible because I haven’t watched it in over 20 years… but that’d be Space Jam for me. Watched it so often, the VHS gave out and we had to buy it a second time.

      Space jam holds up fine. I was an adult when it first came out I got to watch it recently with the kids.

      It’s not like I’d pay to go watch it in the theater but if it was on, I wouldn’t turn it off.

    It wasn’t until 2024 that the world understood how perfect it was to cast John Leguizamo as Luigi.

        I finally got around to watching that after the missus kept referring to him as the pest guy.

        As soon as well started the movie she just went “you’re going to hate it”

        She was not wrong. How the man continued to have a career after that is anyone’s guess.
