Oh yeah, the bit where all the old armour gets up to fight the Nazis:albino boo said:
Don't make films like that anymore.
Different adventures in different areas, essentially an entire series of Rosencrantz And Guilderstern without the medium awareness (well, to an extent)Voulan said:
The Iron Giant.
The animation is brilliant, and it's probably Vin Diesel's best film (he plays a giant, naive, mute robot).
And the critics agree, so there!

The "Oh, Shiiiip!" bit still makes me chuckle, even though it's such a feeble pun.

This would be my second mention. I probably shouldn't like it because the whole 'historical whitewash' thing rubs a bit raw with kids films, but I find it completely impossible to dislike that film.Voulan said:

first off, kudos to you enjoying that awesome movie, i still quote that movie on occasion (usually "ooozeeee" quotes)Jacco said:So I'm watching the Power Rangers movie since it happens to be on television right now and I remember liking it when I was like 8-12. But watching it now, I find the acting is horrible, the dialogue is atrocious ("Let's rock his world" is said as they are fighting rock monsters right before they roll a boulder on one of the said rock monsters), the martial arts are terrible, the effects look fake, the monsters look like they are claymation, and the big monsters at the end belong in the PlayStation 2 era.
What does all that equate to? The movie being way more fucking obscenely awesome than I remember it.
So. What movies have you come across as an adult that you loved as a kid and were they as awesome as you remember? Or do you hate yourself for ever liking it?
Also, now that I am a mature adult male, I have a far greater appreciation for Kimberly than I ever did as a kid.
also, kimberly easily caused my first boner, hell she caused a boner before i even knew what boners were.
err...*stops ranting*
OT: There are too many movies, the child in me has never gone away, i still love all the cheesy badness of kid movies; hell i might even like it more now.
Treasure planet and small soldiers are fucking classic though, I would give anything to live in the treasure planet universe, and small soldiers was basically the perfect way to have toys and humans interact.
PLUS THIS BADASS ************.
seriously, that thing caused literal pain and welts when it hit you, not to mention you could hear it squealing when you pumped it up because of how much air pressure it built up, all you could think was "oh fuck..." to hear your impending doom pumping up.
probably one of the only kid movies i ever tear up on, never expected vin diesel to ever cause that in me.OneCatch said:

I recently watched The Addams family and The Addams family values films starring Raul Julia and Anjelica Huston as Gomez and Morticia Addams and I must say that I forgot how amusing and quite well written I found both films to be. The cast is absolutely perfect in their roles.
