I've must of watched it 100 times at least. 80s just had it all.

I vote no...but I kinda have a reason...we watched it in school, growing up I never liked anything I was forced into via school...so I never fukked with it...even books I should have liked (and i do read often) i hated just because it was assigned reading

Space Jam has been on tv all the time too. It's ubiquitous in culture. I can go to a store right now and find space jam memorabilia, I can buy space jam sneakers thanks to MJ and I can get a space jam jersey or newly minted blu ray in a steelbook.

Something being ubiquitous in pop culture doesn't make it a safe movie for me because there's no way in hell I'd say space jam is a hall of fame movie

You make a good point, but Space Jam is an anomaly. A combination of the greatest basketball player of all-time combined with Warner Bros most iconic animated characters and the most iconic sneakers ever from Nike by the greatest shoe designer ever. There has literally never been anything like it before or since.

The merchandise and soundtrack are way more ubiquitous than the movie itself.

 

[NerdNash]

Yup.

 

[DosCadenaz]

Love it but hasn't stuck with me. IDK if I'll ever watch it again

It’s not the only thing. But let’s save this for a different thread. I don’t want to keep derailing homeboy’s thing right now

Fair enough but I forgot to mention a smash single by the greatest R&B singer of his generation :inarritu:

I'm going to rewatch Labyrinth soon. I also want to watch Dark Crystal because I've never seen it. They both have been released on a 4K recently.

 

[MenacingMonk]

Never seen it.

I watched dark crystal again after this one and it didn’t hold up for me. It having non human leads,that also happen to be the worst designed ones across either films really hurt it for me.

This sample tho.

I don’t think dark crystal is a good flick that or Legend

I loved Labyrinth but did not like Dark Crystal

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

I always remembered Dark Crystal from being a kid and seeing it at a very young age. Those creatures always stuck out in my mind. My daughters like the movie, it's definetly dated but the creature designs still work on the youngins.
