Movies that are no longer good upon rewatching many years later.

Pulp Fiction? That was groundbreaking and still holds up for me.

A B movie cult classic “The Last Starfighter” didn’t hold up as well. My kids wouldn’t watch it, but my brothers and I thought it was awesome in the 80s.

“Tremors”

”Critters”

I guess those were never supposed to be great, so not completely unexpected.

I just wastched Alien all the way through for the first time a few weeks ago. Besides the miss on what technology would look like in the future, it’s still a really good movie.

"Groundbreaking?" Are you kidding me? Quentin Tarantino hasn't had an original thought in his entire life. He's the cinematic equivalent of of a DJ who "writes" music by stitching together samples of other songs. Pulp Fiction's looping-back-on-itself circular plot structure had been used as far back as Dead Of Night, in 1945. Tarantino's career started with an act of blatant plagiarism -Reservoir Dogs was an unauthorized remake of Ringo Lam's City On Fire- that was aided and abetted by the Weinsteins, and everything since then has been derivative, at best.

Tarantino's defenders wil say that he's doing "homage" to the movies he loves but that's BS because the majority of his target audience is clueless about his source material and think they're seeing something brilliantly original.

I can't watch Tarantino movies anymore. 1. Get on with it and cut back on the pedantic dialogue. 2. Stop with the ridiculous foot fetish. Save that for your spare time.
