Thor 7,465 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 A lot of high profile soundtrack CDs came with extra CD-ROMs back then (or CD-ROM material on the disc itself). HARRY POTTER 1, for example. Strange that TPM didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John 2,032 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I never saw the film in its original theatrical run, I wasn’t born yet, but I did see it with my dad when it was re-released in 3D in 2012. Kid me thought it was the best thing ever. I still have a lot of nostalgia towards it. I dunno, perhaps it’s not such a bad film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nostalgia is a powerful thing, and it's something more aged viewers can't attribute much to the prequels. The older, first Star Wars movies though, come easily. Somewhere in the mix, there's also subjectivity and objectivity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,465 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I'm skimming threads here, so didn't quite catch why we're suddenly on to THE GOONIES now. It's one of the few 80s kiddie classics that 'slipped away' when I was a kid; didn't see it untill I was grown up. A fine film, but obviously easier to see its flaws when it's not steeped in nostalgia. I was 22 when TPM came out, so no nostalgic connection to that either, really. I remember writing a long defense article of the film when it came out (on the first incarnation of my website), and I've kinda been defending it ever since.

This is JWFan, where it's always been considered one of the best movies ever made. I don't agree with that (to put it mildly) but I guess I'm one of JWFan's rebels. I only saw it once though, and that was when it opened in theatres. Maybe it's one of those movies you have to watch multiple times before its brilliance shows itself. 14 hours ago, Stefancos said: The Goonies, BTTF, Ghostbusters. All brilliant films!

mstrox 6,647 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 The Goonies captures that childhood feeling of exploration, along with the dream that the exploration could turn into an adventure! The Phantom Menace is 20 years old this week, and it captures the childhood feeling of insidious politicians working angles and creating meaningless conflict to gain power.
