Message: <blockquote data-quote="pukunui" data-source="post: 9456591" data-attributes="member: 54629">I liked Edward Scissorhands when I saw it as a teen, but I haven't watched it since. I recently tried watching The Nightmare Before Christmas with my children but we all hated it and stopped not very far in. I remember liking the original Batman with Michael Keaton, but again, I probably haven't watched it since 1989 so I can't tell you if I would still enjoy it or not.I don't think I've seen any other Tim Burton film. (I never watched Beetlejuice so have no intention of watching the sequel.)Oh, I had no idea Mars Attacks! was a Tim Burton film (but then I also didn't know until recently that young Jack Black was in it). I used to own it on DVD but I don't know what happened to it. I doubt I've watched it since the 90s.OK. That's fine. I'm not asking for people to agree with me. Just sharing my opinion. I'm used to being the odd one out.I dunno. I simply have no desire to watch any of them. I remember doing a Rambo movie marathon with my cousins some 20-odd years ago (before I moved to NZ). They were pretty cheesy. I think I'm not much of a Sylvester Stallone fan.Empire of the Sun with young Christian Bale is another one I like, and it's certainly not fast-paced. However, I first saw it as a child in the 80s, though, so I expect nostalgia is a factor.I first watched Alien when I was 16 in the 90s. Maybe If I'd seen it at a younger age, I might enjoy it more now. Then again, I also first saw Aliens at 16 as well, and I enjoyed it more just the other day than I did Alien the day before. And let me just clarify again that Alien's slow pacing is but one factor in why I don't enjoy it. There are a multitude of other reasons.Some more random thoughts:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I did not enjoy The Terminator, but I did enjoy Terminator 2. I didn't enjoy it as much on a more recent rewatch. The third one was OK. Haven't watched any of the others. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I loved Raising Arizona the first time I saw it as a teen, but when I tried rewatching it again after becoming a father, I found I just couldn't enjoy it at all. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I also used to love The Big Lebowski but eventually soured on it (particularly John Goodman's parody of a Vietnam vet). I wouldn't mind watching it again to see if I might like it again or still find it bleh. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Royal Tenenbaums still held up on a recent rewatch. (Now that my older two children are in their mid-to-late teens, I can show them any movie instead of just age-appropriate ones!) </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I love Star Wars: Rebels and really wanted to like Ahsoka, but it was not only too slow but also just weirdly written. I liked parts of it just thought it wasn't as good as it could have been. I did like Andor and it can be very slow. </li> </ul></blockquote>
