What movie from your past are you completely nostalgia blind too? (lemmy.ml)

I ran into an old movie I had on VHS as a kid titled "MegaForce" (1982) (RT link). I hadn't seen the movie in decades and was worried looking at a rotten tomato score of 6% that if I watched it, I would be completely disappointed in the movie as an adult. Surprisingly, I didn't realize as a kid that it was actually more of a spoof comedy action movie like a knock-off "Hot Shots" or "Naked Gun" and just completely enjoyed watching it again because it felt like a whole new experience (definitely better than the new G.I. Joe's lol).

So what's your movie from your past that you'll always enjoy no matter how cheesy or horrible it may seem?

David Lynch's Dune. It was weird, inaccurate to the book in remarkable ways (wtf is a "weirding module") but I sincerely love it anyway.

EDIT: Sting as Feyd-Rautha screaming "I WILL KILL HIM" is amazing and the music absolutely slaps too.

This morning I read a comment somewhere on Lemmy that linked to Jodorowskys Dune.

My father took me to see Star Wars when it was still only on in London, so I was 9 or 10.

The significance of that will become clear by watching this documentary. I can't believe I've only found out today.

As a millennial that first saw the SciFi miniseries be glad that your nostalgia isn't constantly trying to justify loving that... and I really do love that version of dune even with all the obvious flaws it has.
