Just that really.

Why does everyone think they're so bloody good!

Any other 'popular' films you can't stand?!

Eh, definitely yabu, except the last one with the aliens. Action gold.

Although I rewatched ghostbusters with dd and meh.

Lol used to love these as a kid. Watching yesterday, when he goes to find the woman in the bar. And she said what you did was wrong, I was just a kid. And he said, you knew what you were doing

I was like woah fuck!

So not aged well!

I love them and I hadn't realised that one was on, thanks for alerting me OP!

BoingBoingyBoing · 11/04/2020 18:34

Raiders and Temple are genuine classics. The other two go from ok-ish to downright dreadful. They are a bit of their time though.

@BeetrootRocks
Ewww that is sooo creepy!!

@Wearywithteens
Have long thought how can anyone have found Swayze sexy - but then his hips! Channing Tatum is the new improved version Grin

@balonzz happy to swap places with you so I don't have to suffer any longer Confused

I love them.

But maybe that's just because harrison Ford is easy on the eye

UnhappyMondays · 11/04/2020 18:37

@BeetrootRocks yes! Same here!! It was as if he was either a paedo or a groomer - I don’t remember that from initial views!! She was really upset that he dared to show up as she’d since realised what he did was very wrong ConfusedShock

DeanHardscrabble · 11/04/2020 18:37

I've never watched any of them.

Stars2theside · 11/04/2020 18:40

@lauryloo

I can totally get down with that, but in Star Wars.....

Not even his good looks can save these wanky films for me.....

Don’t you even like the bit with the knive guy in the bazaar??

I can take or leave Indiana to be honest.

I can’t stand anything like dumb and dumber or big mommas house.... stuff that just relies on fart jokes to be funny...

FullOfCake · 11/04/2020 18:42

Shock that caused me offence. Bloody love the movies except the alien one

userabcname · 11/04/2020 18:42

Any and all James Bond films. Boring, sexist, pointless. Also Star Wars! What a load of bollocks.

NewtonPulsifer · 11/04/2020 18:44

Also an Indiana Jones disliker, and hear hear to Dirty Dancing.

EveryDayIsADuvetDay · 11/04/2020 18:45

oooh good reminder, i'd forgotten there was another one on tonight

not my favourites, but good nostalgia burst!

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 11/04/2020 18:45

They are brilliant. Just what we need right now.

Holothane · 11/04/2020 18:48

Never liked them too full of comedy for me.

Stars2theside · 11/04/2020 18:50

@PenelopePeachStone
Couldn't even tell you... I just cannot bear watching them! So naff!!
Also cannot bear Dumb & Dumber, Big Momma, anything that has Eddie Murphy in (apart from Coming to America), and most Jim Carrey films!

@Wearywithteens
Yes! Not a fan of either of those films!

@KatnissK
I do enjoy Star Wars, but admittedly I am struggling to keep up with all the storylines! Am loving The Mandalorian at the moment!

@NewtonPulsifer
Welcome friend!

,,,, age well.

Ratoncita · 11/04/2020 18:56

They're jingoistic, racist and misogynistic. They've aged badly. But I still like them. 😳

JaneJeffer · 11/04/2020 18:56

I love Indy

Can't stand Indiana Jones films....
Yester · 11/04/2020 18:58

The racism and sexism was shocking in that I didn't notice it in the 80s!
