Movies you now realize are great but didn't then maybe because....

[boombingbang]

...going through puberty can be a mindfuck. I just realize how much I love The Principal with Jim Belushi. I think Belushi is brilliant in this: "NOOO MOOORRRE!"

Also, best villian ever & best movie track ever.

Victor Duncan was a raspy-voiced, BADASS perpitrator! "The Princsssipal'sss a fun-ny guuuuuuuuuuuuuuyyyyyyyyyyyyyy......"

And this song makes me feel embarassed yet happy all at once, there's sometimes something to said and appreciated about the corny.

"Set It Off" by Organized Noise...

Do we look
Where is love
Has it gone
Do we search or move on
Feel the wind, as it blows
And my heart
Says the next time I'll know

Chorus:
Set it off, I suggest y'all
Set it off, I suggest y'all
Set it off
C'mon now, set it off
Set it off on the left y'all
Set it off on the right y'all
Set it off
C'mon now, set it off

Holdin' on
Friends around
All together
Searchin' for a way out
When it's time, will we know?
Or will life, grant us no second tries

Chorus

(Now it's too late to work it out)
Now it's too late to work it out
I'm in too deep to just pull out
(There ain't no way I'll walk away)
There ain't no way I'll turn away
Nothin to do but set it off

Chorus

Me hear police, them a chat about me just one time
Me live the life, love money - that's 2 crimes
What will be my destiny, ay ay?
Me say silly of me to think that I could ever get away with crime
What will I do?

[Latifah:]
Hey, when they come for you
Check it
I ain't got nowhere to go, nothing to lose - I'm lost
Who rotten but Cleo?
Hot like ultra reels
Wit my back to the wall, I put my gat on not dog
Replace your playa's ball wit the 911 call
Situations I've been in got me capable of sinnin'
You grinnin'?
Watch me speed-stick yo' *** like Mennon
Lettin' it off, settin' it off and beginnin'
Pinnin' these ill rhymes, representin' ill women
Set it

****OH by the way, this here post is for a few only and will be the only time this thread is steared off course.... or, problems, BIG ones, such that you'll think this board is actually called Free-BIGFRIGGIN-Ones. Thread hijackers will be mouth-f'ed. Vicously. I will hold an exibition.

My appologies for this to the decent members of the FO Commune but it's necessary. Also, mention of the "Search" function will be ignored. I preempt such attacks by saying: when I do things, even if it was to be something as unoriginal as a "Let's post our favorite Jenna Jamison links", I do it in such a way to render previous attempts feeble in comparison. So therefore, you Mr. SearchFucko, you can go to the "Search" box type in "cocksucker" and if you don't say a picture of you popped out dat bitch, you're a liar. That's it, Thank you. Movies time...*******

If the movie sucked back then...it still sucks!

Perhaps.

Jurassic Park 1 didnt stand the test of time for me. It sux, now. The getaway with Baldwin and Basinger isnt so good, now.. Dirty Harry isnt so dirty, and other oldies arent so goldies.

Other than that, there are plenty of old movies that are great. But I cant appreciate anything new from most of them.. as I hadn't seen 'em back in the day.

Dragonslayer! AWESOME movie that used to put me to sleep when I was younger.

On the flip, when I was kid I thought Time Bandits was the bees, now I see that it is really pretty lame but I still have a soft spot for it.

Dragonslayer? That one where the chick dove in the water.. and the guy finally found out she was a chick? And they took off to slay the dragon and the princess was being eaten by dragon babies?!

That was.. disturbing upon reading the comic. Rather gory, I must say. At least in the dragon scenes.

"Grandma's boy" got totally overlooked, and it's fantastic (not one bad scene in the entire movie).

The He-Man movie (Masters of the Universe I think) is pretty good too, except now you are laughing instead of cheering for him to take down grey-skull (am I getting "skull" characters/villians confused).

"Eurotrip", "Drop Dead Gorgeous" and "Boondock Saints" also got rushed to the bargin bin before most people had a change to appreciate them.

"The Big Lebowski" started out as a great movie, but continues to get better and better every time I see it too.

Oh and you can't forget about "Dazed and Confused", I wasn't very into movies when it came out and I brushed it off, a friend recommended it a few years ago, and I haven't regretted it since.

Not bad, not bad. Along the lines of willow. But with much less Val Kilmer. Thank G_d. The guy was great in Joe The King and The Saint. But I didnt care for him in Willow.

For me, the movie that fits this criteria is "The Wiz". When I first saw it in high school I was turned off by it and just thought it was a blacksploitation version of The Wizard of Oz. The second time I watched it was years later and I loved it. It was just funny and engrossing at the same time. I can't explain the turnaround.

I felt the same way when I watched it the first time. I watched a few years later and I thought it was not blacksploitation. This was a well written film that was an enjoyable movie with and an all star cast. Maybe at the time it was kind of a political statement for Black/African Americans. They were showing the country that they produce a quality film amongst all of the blacksploitation nonsense. :2 cents:

I saw 48hrs many many times when I was younger. Nearly all the jokes went right over my head. All I remembered was that chick dancing in the redneck bar and goofy music. She gave me a little boner back in the day so I never missed it when it came on. When I had a chance to see it again older and wiser, it was like watching it for the first time. Nick Nolte in particular put on a clinic with some of the most vicious tongue lashes ever on film. Murphy was brillant as well, that's when he was actually funny.

By the way, the dancer's name is Suzanne Regard, in one other movie called Malibu Express in 1985. (Mr. Skin rules)
