People who say this is their favorite movie of all time


I've encountered a few, and they're all insane. It's weird.

It's one of my favorites as a kid but no where near my favorite

I loved this movie when I was a kid and certainly was one of my favourites. I still fully enjoy watching it and like it a lot more than a lot of kid movies that have come out since.

Oh, I'm sure any kid's movie from the 80s is vastly superior to the didactic crap Hollywood makes these days.

I watched the new 4k bluray recently for the first time and without the nostalgia factor, it's just a silly 80s adventure movie.

It's a good movie but not that good.

Because it's a fun movie that we watched back when you had to rent a VHS player to watch a tape at home.

Once we bought a VHS player, my friend and I watched it almost every day for a summer. I think we watched it about 50 times that summer. My friend wrote to the Astoria Chamber of Commerce and to the film studio for more information about the movie. The studio sent him some swag, the Chamber sent him all kinds of stuff about Astoria. Both were sent with hand written letters. It was cool.

I can't call it my favorite movie, I have a lot of favorite movies. It's way up there though.

I didn't watch this til I was an adult and though I enjoy it a bit it doesn't come close to being one of my favorite 80s movies. Here are some I would put above it.
Ghostbusters 1 and 2
First Blood
The Terminator
Commando
Predator
Batman
Die Hard
Scrooged
Back to the Future Parts 1 and 2
The Untouchables
