That's weird my post didn't show, my laptop doesnt seem to work well with this rich text reply...anyway

I was just saying I can't believe that you liked both FF: The Spirits Within and JP 3 originally. I remember going to see both opening day and being so excited (Especially FF packed house in westwood) but leaving both so horribly disappointed. People walked out of the FF movie where I was but I still thought JP 3 to be the worse of the two mainly because we had two previous movies to compare. The dinosaurs in 3 looked far worse than the other two movies for sure.

I agree. I loved them as a kid. I think they suck now honestly.

That's because unlike the previous JP movies, JP III used much more CGI for closer dinosaur shots. On the other two movies, close up shots of the dinosaurs were left for animatronics, with CGI added only on long shots or to smooth over some of the animations (like the T-Rex rampaging on San Diego). On JPIII, the velociraptor packs were CGI, the Spinosaur was CGI and the majority of the Pterodactyl shots were CGI.

well I only watched FF: The Spirits Within once it hit Disney Channel (I was about 11 years old back then :P) and Jurrassic Park 3 I enjoyed for the T-Rex vs. Spinosaurus fight, which barely lasted any length at all :/

Billy Madison looks pretty dumb going back to it, but I still crack up when I watch it, mainly because of how outrageous and stupid the jokes are. It's one of those nostalgic movies that you only love because you grew up watching it.

batman forever
batman and robin
mortal kombat 1 and 2

superman and the old james bonds like sean connery and roger moore arent bad, they are just really dated. when i was a kid they were the coolest movies ever!

also i cant beleive some one said jirrasic park! that movie is a classic! Its dated compared to Avatar but with out that movie we wouldnt have avatar.

Try watching the Never Ending Story movies haha

Definitely this. Never Ending Story was my favorite movie when I was 7 year old or so. It's horribly lame now.

Surf Ninjas. I watched that again not too long ago. Holy what the hell was I thinking?! The fights scenes were horribly choreographed, really bad acting, Rob Schneider playing a teenager, and Leslie Nielsen was just there for some reason! It was just a ridiculously bad movie...and I enjoyed watching every second of it!
