Our Generation...

[Hunter X]

Good points...I just want to point out that I wasn't at all trying to sound like everything after my generation was bad or anything...it was with me specifically how Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark were my two favorite movies that I thought were unbelievably great...and they still are.
My other favorite movie from that time was the 1980 Flash Gordon...I was way off there!

Fair enough. And I do envy those who grew up with those movies, getting to see them in theatres. Mine was the age of the remastered THX VHS release of Star Wars, which first got me into it, and then the Special Editions and the build up to Episode I. I'm still fond of The Phantom Menace because of the memories that surround it, but I think that it's also a case where the actual movie doesn't quite hold the same charm that it used to.

There's plenty of crap and good stuff for each generation. I was a kid in the era of Power Rangers (never really watched it, though) up to the mid-late 90s. We also had The Princess Bride, The Cosby Show, Star Trek: TNG, Terminator, The Neverending Story, A Muppet Christmas Carol, Muppet Treasure Island, Don Bluth animated films (Secret of Nimh, An American Tail, Land Before Time), Jurassic Park, ET, Batman (both animated TV show and Tim Burton movies), the Disney age of Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, Toy Story....

I see we share a common bond.

Apparently! Although my parents wouldn't let me watch Terminator. Probably would've freaked me out when I was a kid anyways (like Jurassic Park did).
