Is this a remake of the one with Patrick Swayze?...If so, this one looks better lol. I never saw the first one, but it always looked insanely cheesy and I've heard a lot of people basically describe it that way. 2 minutes ago, FrFan said: I liked Oppenheimer, very good performance from Cillian Murphy and RDJr. I was also able to learn a lot of things I didn't know about him and the political intrigues at this time.

The Evil Genius Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Swayze from 83 to 91 had some solid bangers. Outsiders, Red Dawn, Dirty Dancing, Next of Kin, Road House, Ghost, and Point Break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the problem for me...of the ones I've seen on your list, I thought they were either overrated or cheesy lol. - Outsiders: overrated (Swayze was good in it, though) - Red Dawn: enjoyable enough but one I easily forgot about until just now - Dirty Dancing: overrated with a fair amount of cheese - Next Of Kin: never saw it but kinda want to now - Road House: never saw it - Ghost: good in terms of entertainment, definitely layers of cheese sprinkled in; - Point Break: could never, EVER, get into this movie like seemingly so many others have... Of the Swayze performances I've seen, The Outsiders, Ghost, and Donnie Darko were the best. He may have had better ones in movies I haven't seen yet, though. I'm on a mission to watch the original Road House now lol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That does help, actually lol...my assumption was that the filmmakers were thinking they were creating a seriously good action flick and didn't realize it was dripping with cheese. If they had intended the cheese to be there, though, that puts watching it in a different perspective. Or, unintended cheese makes it an even more enjoyable watch...that works, too.

This might be it precisely...experiencing some movies in the moment leave a positive and indelible mark that is separate from the quality of the movie itself. I watched "Sleepless In Seattle" and "The Goonies" several years ago, had never seen either. Thought both were "meh" even though tons of people constantly praised both. (Goonies was significantly worse lol...but it was made for kids so it's understandable). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same when they remade Point Break. Never bothered and that easily could've been made as a sequel instead. Edited January 26 by Hersh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All other generations will never achieve such wisdom and therefore are not expected to understand. FTFY 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
