The other post with a similar title made me wonder....

What films did you see as a kid are still great as an adult in your opinion?

For me it would have to be "Flash Gordon".

I loved it when I was a kid and still do!

What's yours?

Monster Squad!

Grew up on that movie and still love it to death!

Also Spaceballs! Always loved watching it and still do.

We had all these other movies on tape off of a real old movie network called FIRST CHOICE I think, I watched what we had taped over and over. Movies like these and Ernest goes to camp and some others. Good times.

Clash of the Titans, I loved this one as a kid and I still like watching it as an adult.   Also The Ten Commandments,  this one comes on TV just about every Easter and I always miss it.  I know it's on dvd just never think to look for it.  One of these days went I have some spare time..........maybe a long time from now.

WAR OF THE WORLDS and JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH.  I watched these movies on TV many times when I was a kid.  I still enjoy them.

I can't think of any movies that fit the topic (it's not that I dislike them all now, just that none of them are the kind you'd expect to hate as an adult). How about a TV show? Land of the Lost, the original. Sure it's cheesy, but at least the stories were more adult than most most kids shows.

Yeah I used to watch Land of the Lost all the time on early Saturday mornings.

It was a pretty decent show.
Haven't seen it in sometime though....at least a few years.
I can still remember the theme song for it!

I saw my first lightsabre at a midnight showing with my mom when I was a kid  - Haven't given up being a Star Wars fan since!

While on a journey, Chuang Tzu found an old skull, dry and parched.
With sorrow, he questioned and lamented the end of all things.
When he finished speaking, he dragged the skull over and, using it for a pillow, lay down to sleep.
In the night, the skull came to his dreams and said, 'You are a fool to rejoice in the entanglements of life.'
Chuang Tzu couldn`t believe this and asked, 'If I could return you to your life, you would want that, wouldn`t you?'
Stunned by Chuang Tzu`s foolishness, the skull replied, 'How do you know that it is bad to be dead?'

Any of the Ray Harryhausen movies. Just loved that stop motion animation. Still do.
A couple of obvious ones: Mary Poppins and The Wizard of Oz.
The Magnificent Seven. Remains my  favorite western ever.

I have to throw in Charlie and the Chocolate Facotry.

THAT was a truely great film.  Gene Wilder was positively SPOOKY as Wonka.

TV Shows, I still like to watch the cartoon Star Blazers and Scooby Doo (the ones without Scrappy.  I consider him very annoying.)  I used to watch those cartoons just about everyday when I came home from school.

The first "Mainstream" movie I saw in the theaters was when my dad took me to "The Terminator" when I was 13. (What a great Dad).

I still think it is one of my favorite movies.

I little less obvious are "The Posidon adventure"
and
the remake of "King kong"

one that I forgot to add to the "ones that are just not the same anymore" post is "Q" the winged serpant

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
