I watched Lost Boys with my DSD the other night and she was baffled by VHS videos! Even today I was telling her about computers where you had to take out the phone line to put the computer into to get online and even then it took a lifetime to load a webpage. Young uns, paaaah, they’ve never had it so good...but OUR films were so much better!

Our films ARE better! Fact. Is it "highway to the danger zone" or "I went to the danger zone?" I've sung both. Dunno which is right. I once went to a VUE showing of Top Gun with ex DP. Think he secretly enjoyed it as much as I did Wink

Don't forget The Goonies, Flight of the Navigator and The Princess Bride in her "education."

"Sees woman alone in bar. Decides to 'pick her up' by singing to her with entire Air Force. Can you imagine that as an AIBU"

Get your point - love it - but point of order, they're navy pilots not Air Force. Which funnily enough is also true of Zack Mayo (Richard gere) in officer and a gentleman.

Dd 17 has introduced many friends to goonies, back to the future, war games, ferris bueller's day off...

"Such films make interesting viewing through modern eyes." I started a thread a while back - film key events - peeping Tom as a hero, mother putting the moves on her son, Attempted rape scene, drugs, racism... It's scary. I remember being shocked at similar outdated views in "old films" that were of my parents era. And so it goes...

I love Tom cruise movies but accept the guy in real life is a Dick!

To be fair op you were only 6 when it came out, I was 14!!

Dd is a bugger for saying to me when I recommend a film "is it one of your old ones?" To which I say "no it's quite new I think" and she then checks the release date and says "mum! It's older than me!" Blush
