[Deltron]

I was in awe as a kid...legit thought they might be real dinos too

I remember watching this in elementary school

I think my class had all done good on a test or something and the reward was us getting to watch this movie during a class for two days since classes were like 40 minutes each.

But this movie was a big deal at the time, one of my favorite films growing up

Hard to believe it’s been 30 years; time truly does fly

As a youngin who loved dinosaurs and read about them and wanted as much info on them as possible, I almost shed a tear when I saw a human and dinosaur on the same screen interacting.
that truly was a magical moment

Yeah, I had to get my mom and dad to sign the slip for me to watch it in class

Damn, for real?

The sandlot is one of those movies me and my cousins rented to so much for blockbuster, that my aunt stayed getting a late fee because we always kept the movie longer than we should have

Eventually my aunt brought the movie for me and my cousins; that’s one of those movies we watched religiously as kids, we knew the words to every scene lol

I'm 34 so im old. My mom and pops still bring it up how they took me to the theater to watch it and I was just rooting for the dinosaurs to win and to eat people

Nothing has changed

9-year-old me was geek when I realize they were going to see reanimated dinoasaurs in my mother's country

Jurrassic World almost restored the feeling until it became too cartoonish:

"Life finds a way"

So many quotables!!

certified.


and the visuals hold up surprisingly well for a movie that dropped 30 years ago

I was a teen

Film had the women in the theater screaming like it was a horror flick. Especially that sequence when dude got ate off the toilet (pause)

 

[Luke Cage]

i remember going to see this with my whole fam when i was a kid. my cousins too.

I still clown my big cousin for this, closed his eyes immediatly during this scene at the very beginning

and pretended to be asleep for the rest of the movie. didn't open his eyes again until the end credits.

I know he don't like horror movies but cmon man, this shyt was more thrilling than scary.
