I used to enjoy the old Tobey Maguire Spider-Man movies as a kid, but over the years, I've come to find how awkwardly executed the movies were. The performances were over the top, especially on Maguire's part. I also don't think the CG has aged well either, the fight scenes being the most notable. The third movie really lost my investment narrative wise. I hated how they handled Venom by just having him appear briefly. It was a waste as far as I was concerned.

The 2002 Spider-Man is saddled with being a post-9/11 period piece, most of which was added in fairly late in production, namely all the American flags, and the "You mess with one of us, you mess with all of us!" scene.

Agree, the Rami Spider-Man trilogy along with the first X-Men trilogy both aged really poorly when you compare them to modern superhero movies. It's not even that they're bad movies (excluding the third film from each trilogy), but they suffer from the fact that they didn't want to admit they were superhero films since at the time they thought they had to be serious films. At least we have two of the best super villain performances from Spider-Man 1 and 2.

Remember the first teaser where they had Spider-Man catch a helicopter in a spider web he made between the Twin Towers? That got pulled real fast.
 
First up, Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland a Chris Columbus produced anime based on the comics by Winsor McCay, which was almost directed by Miyazaki (who said it was the worst ordeal of his life). I routinely watched it as a kid, alongside The Neverending Story, and while the latter has mostly held up over time, Little Nemo... has become very juvenile for me.

Somebody mentioned earlier Robin Hood: Men in Tights, and I concur. I've found the only Mel Brooks films I can watch nowadays are the Gene Wilder ones

Edit: Speaking of Mel Brooks, Coppola's Dracula is awful, just plain awful.

My two biggest problems with that Venom:
a) Eddie Brock wasn't played by Brock Lesnar
b) the symbiote flips around like how movie Mystique shapeshifted, not like gloppy alien goop.
 
One of my favorites that has aged poorly is the David Lynch adaptation of Dune. I liked the aesthetics, jose ferrer and Patrick Stewart's performances and the score by TOTO. The visuals effects and a majority of the shoddy acting lost its touch after a few years. At least I like it better than SciFi channel's version.
 
Escape From New York. It's still one of my favorite movies but damn it sure does show its age. I don't know what the national mindset was at the time, but the idea crime rates were getting so bad people thought they'd have to convert Manhattan into a maximum security prison colony before the year 2000 is pretty hokey.

It was very much a product of its time, and that time is long past.

Almost any movie that uses the year 2000 as a synonym for "the future" looks ridiculous now.

Before Disney bought Times Square that wasn't so ludicrous, especially if you were in the 70s and 80s.

I couldn't agree more. Brock Lesnar would still be perfect if Venom were put into a movie today. I'd pay just to see a movie centered around Venom if he played the part. They just need to make the symbiote right and you got a perfect Venom.

Pretty Woman.

Richard Gere doesn't work as an attractive lead and it's hard to believe that once the early 90s fashion was thought to be "desirable". Nowadays it just looks gaudy.

Seriously? He even won that bullshit "Sexiest Man Alive" thing from People in 1999 when he was past his prime.

I don't really think much of the movie either, but counter examples would include An Officer and a Gentleman and Chicago (both of which have probably aged better).

And that movie is Labyrinth

The story doesn't even hold up for me anymore. Jareth steals Sarah's baby brother for....what? Well, one of the songs implies that Jareth wants to turn the brother into a "goblin baby" which will happen if Sarah doesn't rescue him within 13 hours. However, his motivation seems to be more focused on Sarah. It feels more like he kidnapped the baby just to get closer to Sarah. The climax of the film certainly suggest this.

I dunno, that movie just has lost it's "magic" for me, I guess

The movie takes place in the mind of 13 year old girl. It's how CWC sees any visit to Wal-Mart basically. Jennifer Connelly wants to get defiled by David Bowie. There, the spell is restored.

While still a good movie that I would reccomend to anybody seeing, I have to answer The President's Analyst with James Coburn. If you've seen the movie you know why I can't get into its 'poor aging' here due to
the antagonist behind the assassination plot reveal.
 
Talking about spergery and childhood nostalgia, Anastasia.

I liked the music and such, but then I just grew and saw it for what it was: a cheap Disney rip-off trying very hard to imitate them. And it has many annoying cliches that plagued films in the 90s that I can't stand (snarky bitchy female lead with contradicting/outright sexist morals that we're supposed to see as a "feminist role model", annoying sidekicks, love-hate romances...)
