"I watched 16 Candles with my 15-year-old. She put up with it until we got to 'Long Duck Dong,' then she leapt up, turned it off, and looked at me with scorn."

Greta Gerwig enthusiast, ultimate foodie, movie fanatic, and hard-core music lover.

*This article mentions violence, sexual assault, and profanity.

"The girls in my neighborhood were obsessed with Grease. We knew every word and made up so many dances.

I tried to show it to my 9-year-old, and I was horrified. It’s so sexist and inappropriate."

"I watched 16 Candles with my 15-year-old. She put up with it until we got to 'Long Duck Dong,' then she leapt up, turned it off, and looked at me with scorn."

"I still love a lot about that movie but man, between the rapeyness and the racism, it does not hold up well."

"Anything by John Hughes now feels wildly problematic. Weird Science, Sixteen Candles, Breakfast Club... the whole shebang. Casual mentions of sexual assault throughout; in 16 Candles, Jake basically gives an intoxicated girl to someone else like a prize...? WTAF?"

"I am one of those people who was the EXACT right age to think Batman and Robin was cinematic brilliance (11). Black light motor bike chases? SWEET. Arnie as Mr. Freeze? SWEET. Cheesy EVERYTHING? SWEET!

I watched it so many times as a kid, and having to accept what a piece of bat nipple garbage it is has been a journey."

"I reluctantly agree. It's objectively a trash movie. But if you go into it with the 'Adam West with infinite money' attitude, it can at least be fun.

It would be nice to get a good version of a light Batman movie, so I think there is room here for a version like Batman and Robin...only, you know, good."

"As an 8-year-old, it was my introduction to Godzilla, and I loved it, despite Matthew Broderick, the murderer, being in it. Raved to my kids that it was incredible and we sadly watched it after we had watched the recent Kong/Godzilla films.

"The first half was actually alright, but then the second half is where it just falls apart into nonsense."

"Oh God yes. Must've watched the VHS a billion times back in the day. Watched it last year or so and all I could think was how that entire movie was bullshit."

"American Ninja. Kid me back then watching this: 'it's the coolest hero ever with awesome friends movie.' Now me watching this: 'a ridiculous comedy gold movie.'"

"I loved Never Been Kissed as a kid. Gave it another watch recently, and its problematic plot just made it funnier, to be honest."

"Ohhhh yeah, having been a total dorkus in middle school and some of high school, I identified with Josie and her geeky friends. But my god, all of the statutory and assumed statutory relationship stuff aged horribly.

Josie and her teacher, Josie and the 'cool ' high school boy, Josie's like 25-year-old brother, and his teen girlfriend..."

"That movie is the ultimate 'Watch with a group of friends and riff on it' movie."

"I managed to spare myself from the movies, until my friend forced me to watch the first one few months ago. The skin glitter scene gave me physical pain."

"A friend dragged me to see this when we were both slightly too old to be the target audience.

I remember us watching and trying to work out if it was trying to be intentionally funny or not."

"I kinda ruined my wife's favorite movie the first time we watched it - You've Got Mail is a stalker film with the wrong soundtrack. Wow, it's creepy with modern eyes."

"That's a lot of romantic comedies. A lot of guys that just won't take no for an answer trying to wear the girl down until she gives up and agrees. The whole genre is cringe."

"As a child that movie felt like magic, unicorns and pure ecstasy. As an adult I just couldn't even make it through half of that fucking movie lol. Mj's acting is so bad that it's actually incomprehensible that he actually starred in a major Blockbuster. I mean even as a kid I didn't remember it being particularly great acting but damn I must have really glazed over how bad it was."

"I haven't watched Space Jam since I became an adult and refuse to ever do so. It is far more beautiful as a memory than as an actual experience."—ProfessorPhi

However, the overarching themes of using women, coercing women, and dare I mention the webcam scene? Eh

It just really rubs me the wrong way now."

"Man, I loved American Pie when it came out, but the webcam scene always felt so fucked up to me even at the time. Especially when Finch, the level headed member of the gang, says Jim basically has to do it.

For a sex comedy, a lot of the film is actually about relationships, letting go, moving on, and also lets the characters openly talk about sex, something missing from the sequels. It's funny, it's crass, but it's not completely without depth. Then there is that one scene that is obviously a sex crime that is just played for laughs."

"This right here is the one that should win. I tried rewatching this years ago, and it was so horrifically bad I was getting secondhand and, somehow, thirdhand embarrassment."

"Saw it in high school. Had a friend who was utterly obsessed with Dana Carvey and her birthday was right on the day it hit theaters. Like I think I was friends with this girl only because I could do the church lady from SNL really well. She was hyping this movie up for weeks. We all go to see it. She clapped when it started.

We left the theater in silence after it ended because it was so bad and she quietly cried a bit. The party at her house was pretty awkward. She stopped mentioning Carvey after that day."

"Nothing controversial, just that the graphics, script and almost everything about the watching experience did not hold up to time, and makes the rewatch incredibly difficult without cringing.

"I was laughing at its CGI even as a kid. It didn't age poorly, it was never good."

"This for me too. But then again it was always so cheesy. Rewatched it with my now kids and man, I keep wondering why I loved it so much. But my kids love it too, so I guess it really knows its audience."

"The art is still gorgeous. I just... know too much now."

"Maybe the only Disney movie I don't think they will remake, and that is literally just because of its very misguided and myopic politics."

"This is a movie that I will enjoy the soundtrack for the rest of my life, but will not watch the movie."

"This movie completely bypassed me as a kid. I'd never heard of it until I was an adult. I can imagine what a find it was back in the day with the Top That 'rap.' I can't imagine anyone thinking it was cool at the time, but if I'd seen it as a kid I would have been singing it non-stop because it's so corny."

"Yeah it's the worst! I remember getting secondhand embarrassment from it back then, but I still loved it."

"I had to stop myself from rewatching that recently. I loved it as a kid, but thinking back, I realized there is no way it is actually good and I didn't want to taint my childhood love of it."

"The Chipmunk Adventure is just a series of the Chipmunks and Chippettes flying around the world interacting with racial stereotypes, it is WILD."

"...Not to mention the plot is literally about them being mules for an international diamond smuggling ring. We were watching a crime thriller and didn't even know it."

"I absolutely loved Star Wars: Attack of the Clones as a kid lol. I loved the prequels. Someone put it on a couple days ago and I just…I don’t even know how to describe it. How is it just SO bad??"

"I watched it for the first time a few years ago and I didn’t think it was nearly as bad as people said. It’s not great, but it felt kind of like a proto-Pirates of the Caribbean, trying to be an action comedy that threads the needle as a movie kids will enjoy with enough jokes for the parents. It didn’t work, but I can see the vision."

"I feel like it’s now bad in a good way. Like so bad it’s come full circle…not that I’ll rewatch it anytime soon.."

"I was SHOCKED to discover how bad it was as an adult. I remember thinking it was the best of all the Jaws films as a kid."

"I remember watching it on USA Network at my cousins’ house when I was, I think, 14 and I found it terrible back then."

"I have fond memories of him flying about and his transforming car when I was a kid. Watched it recently and it was utterly terrible. Couldn’t make it all the way through. Deleted it."

"Saw this in the theater and LOVED it. Had a poster for it from Baskin-Robbins. I just remember it being non-stop action, cool vehicles, etc.

Watched it much later. Boring AF. The cool gear and vehicles was maybe 3 minutes of the movie and the hero was a total drip."

"I loved Condor Man as a child! Last year, I tried to show it to my wife because I remember it but we couldn't watch for more than 10 minutes and thought 'what did I like about this?!'"

"Maybe a hot take, but Home Alone. I get that his family sucks, and that's the whole reason he's happy to be alone, but holy $#!× does his family suck! They are all so mean and abusive to each other, but particularly Kevin. And his parents don't even stand up for him against his douchbag uncle.

I cringe watching that movie now as a parent, and I haven't wanted to show it to my kids."
