I liked 3 of them:
1. Ferris Buelller's Day Off
2. Gremlins
3. War Games
...And I either hate or am not a fan of the rest. My feelings for most is that they are Naive, childish, and overly optimistic. And you can disagree with me, but you're not going to convince me to like them or ever watch most of the films on your list ever again.
I admit I'm biased, and that I cannot identify with a large number of them in any way. There's a reason you guys call me a sandy bitch. I'm a bitter old man, and I have been for some time. I'm only optimistic, ever, because it's a direction I choose. I admit that pessimism rarely accomplishes anything, or at least not anything good and worthwhile.
But I think I know why this is... why I cannot identify with the general place these come from. I don't remember the vast majority of my teenage years or childhood years fondly. All I remember of my childhood up to age 16 was being picked on and being sick. More than half that asthma related, struggling to breathe. 16 to about 24 things improved a good bit. 24 and on my health started declining, and then as a result of my declining health, my life started spiraling down too. And here I am going to be thirty this year, and I'm a good bit bitter about not being able to enjoy even a third of it.
So some, probably the vast majority, of my hate is simply because it reminds me of childhood. And mine sucked. Sorry. _________________ Advocating the end of the world since July 1995.
