Kids today, I tell ya!

I’d get over my post not making sense quicker than constantly seeing that apostrophe.

So, you’re really embodying the whole “cruel to be kind” thing. :smile:

I was born in June of 1977. My mother prides herself on never having seen Star Wars. So it’s not just kids today.

I’ve never seen Trolls 3. Gosh, I’m old in the minds of today’s youth.

I did see Return of the Jedi and Jaws 3D in the theater though (but I was too young to appreciate either one).

I’ve never seen any of the Godfather movies and I don’t particularly want to watch Apocalypse Now because I really love Heart of Darnkess.

My husband has never seen a Godfather movie all the way through because just looking at Al Pacino puts him to sleep :woman_shrugging:

I’ve never seen any of the Godfather movies, either. But I’ve never been a fan of “gangster” movies in general, so I doubt that will ever change :woman_shrugging:

Same here. I have no interest in ‘The Mob’.

I’ve never seen a James Bond movie.

I wish I had never seen The Goonies…

I have seen the first Godfather movie.

I’ve owned multiple versions of The Princess Bride over the years (it and Stargate are movies I will rebuy every time the format changes)

I’ve never seen The Goonies, and I don’t think I’ve seen all of Gremlins in one sitting.

I bet my mom was dozing in the theater and we were just too hopped up on explosions and candy to notice.

Spoiler alert - it sinks!

I saw Flashdance when it came out on VHS? … have no idea why my parents thought it was a good movie to let me watch, but … I didn’t complain?

You’ve reminded me that my one question admitted in S13 was for I Accuse My Parents where I asked everyone what was the best movie to watch with a parent. This is my crowning glory and I hope to be reminded of it at least once during my final half-hour on Earth.

But have you seen Operation Kid Brother?

I mean, it’s about the same. Codename Diamondhead too…

Goldeneye is a favorite (Famke Janssen steals the show really) and had a really good video game adaptation as well?

Hi, yes, I’m one of the darned kids. (For reference, I was not alive for an MST3K premiere until the Netflix era. I have made everybody else on this forum feel old.)

But have you seen Casablanca?

For any that haven’t, The Princess Bride is great. Andre the Giant is wonderful. I think there were some other good people in it too.

As for me, I’m pretty sure I have never seen a Gremlins movie. I grew up under a rock. I’m not that worried about it. The Gremlins, that is. The rock thing could have been better.

The two Gremlins movies couldn’t be more different. The first was a horror comedy. The second is so close to a Looney Tunes cartoon that Bugs and Daffy are in the opening and closing credits.
