Overrated classic films from youth

[Cockney Mackem]

The Breakfast Club. Unsuitable for viewing by anyone over 14, as they will immediately catch it out for the heap of complete bollocks it is

 

[HABA87]

First Blood.

Even though I shouldn't have been watching it.

Some people have a strange definition of classic.

I agree, and that's sort of what thread is about. I didn't like Grease even back then but its still regarded now as a classic. Bloody rubbish.

 

[Big Sharp Teeth]

Lost Boys. Thought it was really cool at the time. Watched it recently with the missus and we both couldn’t believe how rubbish it was.

 

[MunkyHeed]

Ferris Bueller. Cocky skiving shithead.

 

[Paddy O'Dors]

Another shout for The Breakfast Club.

 

[VINCENT VEGA]

First Blood.

Even though I shouldn't have been watching it.

Another classic.

 

[HABA87]

Another classic.

It's chod.

 

[VINCENT VEGA]

It's chod.

Nah acting masterpiece by Stallone too

Films that were great when young but are absolutely shite looking back.

Grease.

Everyone in it looks about 30 and the ending is absolute dogshit with a flying bloody car.

It’s very very very expensive to employ kid actors in the US. Education, insurance etc etc. Ridiculously expensive so everyone ower there knows it and plays along that they’re teenagers.

f***ing class film that man, worst take ever.

How old are you? When did you last watch it? I hadn’t watched it for 30yrs until recently and couldn’t believe how bad it was.

 

[High Entropy]

All the Bruce Lee films.

As kids we'd do all the moves and noises, watched half a one few year back and turned it off, they are shite !

Ferris Bueller. Cocky skiving shithead.

Was talking about this the other day. It completely changes from when you are a child to watching it as an adult.

Watched it recently. It’s crap. Only thing that leat out was when they slow motion skid run at a corner then turn and run back it looks like the nerdy lad cops a feel of Molly.

Believe me, he’d need more than a’day off’ if he trashed my vintage Ferrari.

 

[Helmerroids]

Lost Boys. Thought it was really cool at the time. Watched it recently with the missus and we both couldn’t believe how rubbish it was.

See I watched The Lost Boys a while ago and thought it’s aged well. Cheesy yes, still funny and cool though with a great soundtrack.

 

[Biffo The Bear]

Believe me, he’d need more than a’day off’ if he trashed my vintage Ferrari.

It did have a couple of redeeming features for a teenager.

 

[mini-x2]

I disagree with a load of these. Just enjoy them fop what they are (were).
Anyway, the only thing I can think of that I liked back then but is really pretty shit is The Young Ones.

 

[herra soul mob]

Citizen Kane

 

[Thatheaderman]

Ferris Buellers Day Off

Film I've never watched, and probably won't now

 

[knumbskull]

First Blood.

Even though I shouldn't have been watching it.

I’m assuming there’s another film called First Blood that I haven’t heard of, it’s the only possible explanation
