I Remember Liking That Movie
We chose a movie we haven’t seen in decades. I mean, we’re talking 20 to 30 years. First, we examine the box office, the poster, the trailer, and our wildly inaccurate memories of this long-lost relic. Then we watch it again and review it. Sometimes it still slaps. Sometimes it faceplants. Hard.
Episodes
In this episode of I Remember Liking That Movie, we head back to the Renaissance for a supposedly smarter, more grounded take on Cinderella with Ever After from 1998. Starring Drew Barrymore, Anjelica Huston, and Dougray Scott, the film ditches fairy godmothers and magic in favor of historical realism… and somehow still finds room for Leonardo da Vinci. One of us remembers this one as the “classy” Cinderella, the version with brain...
Remember Cliffhanger? The movie where the Hero fights gravity, bad guys, and basic OSHA regulations? Starring Sylvester Stallone as a man whose primary skill set is hanging from things dramatically… and John Lithgow as a villain who woke up and chose theatrical villainy. You probably remember mountains. Snow. A helicopter doing things helicopters absolutely should not be doing. And Lithgow is just chewing scenery like he hasn’t eat...
Do you remember the teen romance movie A Walk to Remember? You know, the one where the “good girl” falls for the “bad boy,” changes his life forever… and then drops the heartbreaking bomb that she’s terminally ill. Ah, yes, peak early-2000s emotional damage. So grab your tissues and take a stroll back to 2002 as we revisit this classic Nicholas Sparks tearjerker, starring Mandy Moore and Shane West. We’re diving into the swoons, th...
Remember Better Off Dead? The 1985 fever dream starring John Cusack gave us ski-race rivalries, the guy who played Booger, Ricky’s mom casually blowing up during dinner, and a paperboy who’s built his entire personality around two dollars. We think we loved this movie. We’re pretty sure we quoted it. But does it actually hold up… or were we just 80s kids dazzled by stop-motion hamburgers and teenage melodrama? Join us as we head ba...
Remember Robin Hood: Men in Tights from 1993? We do… or at least we thought we did. It’s been a long time since we last watched this one, but c’mon, it’s Mel Brooks. Starring Cary Elwes, Dave Chappelle, Richard Lewis, and Amy Yasbeck, and directed by the iconic Brooks himself, this should be a slam dunk, right? As we revisit what would become Mel Brooks’ penultimate film, we find ourselves asking an important question: Does Men in ...
Do you remember Hot Dog… The Movie from the ’80s? We do, and we don’t. We remember Shannon Tweed (for obvious reasons) and the Chinese Downhill. That’s about it. This movie was actually a hit in its day, which makes us wonder: was it because of the skiing… or because this ’80s film got really generous with the nudity? Either way, it should be wall-to-wall ’80s stereotypes, bad taste, and zero restraint. Which raises the big questio...
The 90s were full of high-octane, over-the-top action flicks, and one of the most memorable was THE ROCK. Starring Nicolas Cage, Ed Harris & Sean "Slap Her" Connery. We remember this one being a fast-paced, testosterone-fueled, take-no-prisoners flick from start to finish, and we can't wait to watch it again. You can't argue that the 90s weren't stylized, but did they lack substance? We couldn't care less if stuff blows up real...
Remember SpaceCamp from the 80s? A bunch of kids go to Space Camp and get blown into space on accident for real. Good times. We remember it being fun, thrilling, and full of comedy and drama. Then, we watched the trailer, and now we are wondering if our memory deceived us once again. Join us as we revisit 1986 and watch an epic space adventure conceived and produced by a TV network. Blast off!
Remember Broken Arrow from the 90s? Yeah, we loved it. Mostly because it was the era when John Woo showed up in Hollywood and said, “What if everything got shot or exploded… in slow motion?” It’s been a long time, so we went back to see if it still rules. John Travolta steals a couple of nukes, chews all the scenery, and holds America hostage, while Christian Slater and Samantha Mathis try to stop him before the budget for explosio...
Remember Trading Places (1983), starring Eddie Murphy, Dan Aykroyd, and Jamie Lee Curtis? We had practically forgotten all about this early-’80s comedy, but even the trailer promises a whole lot of political incorrectness, and we couldn’t be more excited. We remember it being hilarious, but has time been kind to this comical social commentary, or has it curdled into an outdated relic? Either way, we’re all in.
57 movies we remember liking that we've watched this year, and now we're going to go through them and pick out our favorites and our least favorites.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Remember It's A Wonderful Life? Of course you do. They played it at what seemed to be 24/7 all over cable back in the day. You get to know George through a backstory that takes up almost the entire movie, and then he decides that life would be better had he not been born, and well, you know the rest. Join us as we go back and watch Jimmy Stewart, Donna Reed, and that loud, annoying kid who tells us about Angels getti...
Remember Scrooged from the '80s? We sure do. Bill Murray, Karen Allen, Carol Kane, David Johansen, Bobcat Goldthwait, and John Glover. It even has Lee Majors. The Six Million Dollar Man! This is an '80s take on the classic Christmas Carol story. Let's be honest, this is a Bill Murray take on the classic Christmas Carol stor,y and we couldn't be more excited. It's been a while, but this one is at the top of our Christ...
Remember the big-budget 90s Christmas movie Jingle All the Way starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sinbad, and Phil Hartman? We recall liking this movie from the 1990s, but we haven't seen it since then. It features special effects, comedy, drama, and the familiar story of parents fighting to get their kids the hard-to-get Christmas gift every kid wanted. So join us as we go back to the 90s and watch a Schwarzenegger Chr...
Do you remember Holiday? It starred the great Fred Astaire and Bing Crosby. It covers almost every holiday celebrated within the calendar year. It's a comedy, a romance, a musical, and it introduced us to one of the greatest Christmas songs ever, White Christmas. Oh yeah, and it's full of Blackface. So join us as we go back to 1942 and take it all in. We can't wait.
Do You Remember Liking This Movie?
Remember Batman Returns starring Michael Keaton, Danny DeVito, Christopher Walken & Michelle Pfeiffer. Sure, you do. It ushered in a whole era of men wanting their girlfriends or wives to dress up as Catwoman, and it didn't even have to be Halloween. Well, this one takes place over the Christmas Holidays, so we're picking it as a Holiday Film. With an all-star cast, Tim Burton returning, we are signing up to watc...
Remember Die Hard, the perfect Christmas Action Movie? Well, it had a brother called Die Harder, and it too was a Christmas Action Movie. It doesn't get as much attention because it was a sequel. But it had a bigger budget, bigger explosions, a bigger body count, and it made a lot more money. We talk about Die Hard all the time, but this year we're going back to 1990 and watch the Christmas sequel. This time, John Mc...
Do you remember the 90s action-packed sci-fi extravaganza Armageddon starring like everyone? Directed by Michael “Blow It Up” Bay and produced by Mr. Blockbuster himself, Jerry Bruckheimer. Everyone said it was stupid, but it made a KAJILLION dollars. So join us as we join Bruce Willis, Billy Bob Thornton, Ben Affleck, Owen Wilson, Liv Tyler, Will Patton, Steve Buscemi, and a bunch more for the movie that is Special ...
Do you remember Superman? Not the new DCU Superman, directed by James Gunn. Not Zack Snyder's DCEU Superman starring Henry Cavill. Not Bryan Singer's sequel to the Superman Film starring Brandon Routh. The Original Superhero Blockbuster. Superman! Starring Christopher Reeve, Gene Hackman, Marlon Brando, Margot Kidder, and Ned Beatty. The actual OG Superman Movie. Is it as awesome as our childhood memory remembers it ...
Remember Thirteen Ghosts from 2001? This remake of a '60s ghost story was part of a heavy CGI trend during the late 90s and early 2000s. It starred Matthew Lillard, Tony Shalhoub & Shannon Elizabeth, and thirteen pisssed off Ghosts. We don't remember a whole lot except that the ghosts were actually cool and creepy.
