So. I've been on a weird nostalgic kick for a while now. Growing up in the 80's I remember a ton of movies that dazzled me with their cutting edge special effects and involving storylines.
So. I've been tracking down a bunch of movies from my childhood and even some that are almost present day to see them and relive my amazement and wonderment. Damn, man. Was I mistaken. I believe my memory has glossed over many details of those movies, because, jeebus, some of them really suck ass. Just watched V, the old 80's tv show. You know the one, the bad ass one with lizard people renacting the nazi takeover of Europe. I used to love that series when it was on the air! I gotta tell ya, it was much better in my childhood memories. (there's something about dialogue from older movies that always seem laughable because it's so lame) People always tell me, "Don't do it man. Don't watch the oldie that you use to love, you'll just ruin your memories of it..."
Of course I always watch them anyways. I'm probably a glutton for punishment...

Can anybody tell me any older movies that are actually good. So far, the ones I think that are still good are:

Alien (Movie's good, but I don't like Sigourney Weaver)
Aliens (Damn, I hate Sigourney Weaver...)
Terminator and T2
Mad Max. Saw Mad Max 3, sucks ass. If I wrote that movie, I'd have Max raze that village of kids and sell most of them off to that town. Yeah, that would've been cool! Damn, kids.
Predator was decent but Arnold is cool because he's cheesy. Plus he's Gorverner of Cali.
Ugh, I can't rememer what else... having a brain fart...
