Wow....next you're going to tell me you don't like uncle buck either? John Candy is one of my all time favorites.Planes Trains and Automobiles.
Have a couple of good friends who love that movie, after years of them referencing it, i finally watched it, and i was... underwhelmed.. I think a lot of it is that when you watch a movie 20 or 30 years after it’s released, it just loses something.. i mean, just imagine watching Back to the Future today for the first time- the music, the skateboarding, the fact that I’m not a teenager like Marty anymore but a middle aged person- all that would combine to make it just ok.. i love it, but partly why is becuase it takes me back to the first time i saw it (twice) in an actual theater in New Orleans East... There are a few movies that hold up well over the decades, where a viewer might be impacted as much as someone who sees it upon first release- but those are very, very rare.
That terrible motley Crue movie is at the top of my list right now. Terrible movie that gets way too much hype.
