Why not? I told somebody this the other day. It's one of the first VHS tapes i've ever had when i was a kid so I would watch it all the time since I had nothing else to watch :manny:
I guess i've heard weirder choices. :manny:

But your favorite movie?I know we all get caught up in nostalgia but no other movies with a little more substance stands out to you more than this?

:dwillhuh: ok one of my personal favorites then. I mean when I talk about my favorites i'm not talking about movies I think are the GOAT in quality, that's a different list entirely. TDK is number 1 in that category

Saw this a couple weeks ago for the first time in 19 yrs

shyt was mad racist. Why the only black dude in the film gotta steal the car. And why the only other black guy in the film also gotta be a hood.

And why the only black woman in the film gotta steal the girls shades.

Man, I had the same experience. I didn't notice how low key racist a lot of these 80s films were. I thought it was the shyt back then too, but it was basically, "clean cut white kids go to the hood, hilarity ensues."
I'm watching this movie for the first time and damn you two are right. It's not even low key. They're making it seem like black people live in another dimension.

Adventures in Babysitting is kind of different tho. The suburban kids lived in another dimension. The first person they met was Pruitt, who laughed at them for being from the burbs. And pulled out a hammer that scared them. Leader of the operation was white, operation was a mix. The ho was white. Homeless man was white the gangs were black & Ricans. Chris Columbus does mix it up.
