Some movies you either like or you don't. But there are others where it seems to be very much a generational thing. If you grew up watching the movie, you love it. But to all those who don't see it until after they've left childhood, they just don't get the appeal. I've found this especially true of 1980s movies. I grew up in the 1980s but there were a lot of movies that I've missed, yet seem to form much of the childhood of my peers.
Insanely popular 1980s movies that I didn't see until years later and I just don't get:
The Dark Crystal
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
The Goonies
Labyrinth
Willow
I'm tempted to also include the old 1980s Transformers movie on this list. However, I suspect that even its former fans can look at it, however fondly, and concede that it is pretty shitty. No action movie can use "Dare to Be Stupid" during a fight scene and expect anyone to take it seriously.
What are some of your peers' favorites that you just don't see the appeal of?
