My wee one and I have been loving the Christmas Chronicles and I was telling her that Santa and Mrs Claus have been married in real life a long time bla bla bla...ended up showing her the trailer to Overboard to see how young they were.
She now thinks the 80s were evil  "What?! He k*dnaps her? And he's a goodie? Why would the mum do all the cleaning anyway? She's his slave! This is sick!"
She has a point!
What movies do you look back on and just think 'wow  ' |

ET: The military would have ‘silenced’ the family permanently and all other witnesses before putting out cover stories to the press and ET himself would have been whipped off to Area 51 or some such site and hastily interrogated and dissected  |

16 Candles. Really?
Cruel Intentions (though I found the whole "I'll give you anal even though you're my stepbrother if you have sex with another girl that I don't like" thing incredibly weird at the time, it's not just that it's aged very badly) |

There and to the left a bit |
Actually to pick up on the OPs point about baddies being goodies....
...how can a self-confessed cannibal who has killed countless people in various ways and enjoyed eating someone's liver with "fava beans and a nice chianti" be considered a "goodie"? |

"Watership Down. It was sad when i first watched it as a child, now I find it creepy and morbid. Drains the happiness out of you  "
Totally agree with this, I remember being horrified and in shock leaving the cinema as a kid, I still haven’t rewatched it since |

Not sure it had a great plot anyway but if you watch Grease, Danny Zuco basically sexually assaults Sandy (twice I think). She actually has to fight him off in one scene, otherwise it would have been much worse. Kind of is a plot hole as he’s supposed to be the hero of the movie! |

Saturday Night Fever to: Tony Manero (Travolta) sits nonchalantly in the front of the car whilst a girl is being sexually assaulted in the back (and is begging him for help!) |

The whole ending of Grease is that you should change every single thing about yourself to fit in with the cool kids if you want a man to notice you. A suggestion of sexual availability helps too.
I don't think it's a happy ending to a movie! |

"Monsters Inc. Stealing a child and Stockholm syndrome for the poor little girl. Beauty and the beast is the exact same when you think about it.
Its rife in Disney and pixar films. "
To be fair to Monsters Inc. They didn't steal her, or force her. She was a stow away, they then tried to get her the fuck back where she came from.
Beauty and the Beast very much is Stockholm. Also plays up to that stereotype of a woman trying to change an aggressive thug in to a good man. |

Reminds me of 50 Shades. Let a rich bloke do what he wants to you and he'll fall in love with you eventually.
If Christian Grey had been poor he'd have been om a register before the end of scene two. |

I think a lot of films of this era had a similar vibe. |

I watched Ghostbusters for the first time recently (the original) in which Bill Murray thirst for Sigourney Weaver so damn hard that even her demonic possession doesn't deter him. |

Not a film but a computer game Michael Jackson's moon walker which came out in 1990.
You (Jackson), have to go round saving children who are often hiding in closets by dancing.
Yep that could not be any weirder. |

Yeah and the female and male student bit with his experiment at the start. |
