Tommy Boy is an awful movie that is filled with quotable lines which is why it is loved. It also helps if you are...say...not sober in some capacity ;^)

"Look, if you want me to take a s- in a box and mark it 'Guaranteed' I will. I got spare time."
 
I am 40...never much cared for it until I watched it like I was on some medicine. To be fair though there is a lot of comedies that everyone loves that I just never got. I was more of an 80s comedy fan the 90s was hit or miss.

"Richard...who is your favorite Little Rascal? Is it Alfalfa? Is it...SPANKY?!?!?"

Apparently both David Spade and Chris Farley dated that girl from the pool and it caused a rift between them during Black Sheep.
 
How I never managed to watch Once Upon a Time in the West before is beyond me, but I'm glad I finally did. Wow!

Also I watched Taps for the first time in probably 35 years and it surprisingly held up fairly well today.

Timing is key as well. If you are in the 32-45 age range, this movie was around at a pivotal time in your life, which deepens its importance.

This. "Billy Madison" is another example. My parents had it rented from Blockbuster, I had a few friends over for a birthday sleepover, Blizzard of 96 hits (and yes to NoVa 3 feet is a lot of snow) and they're stuck there for 4-5 days, and we watched it roughly 20 times. I can see to the normal person how it could objectively not be a good movie, but to me it will always be legendary.

It's like that for most stupid comedies. People find something they like about it, be it their current age, situation, etc., and it just clicks with them. Sandler has made a lot of those movies. I was in high school and college when he was making his first round of movies, and I love them - Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, and a couple others escaping me right now. Meanwhile, I see some his newer stuff, and while I know it's the same type of comedy, they're just bad.

However, there are movies like Airplane!, which had a ton of stupid comedy, and all of that's really a front for some very smart jokes snuck in there, if you're paying attention. (Look into the details regarding the scene at the start of the movie with the guy stuck waiting in the cab.)
 
I showed The Princess Bride to my boys (18 and going on 17) for the first time this past weekend and was quite pleased with the results!
 
I rewatched billy Madison a year or two ago. It was about a thousandth as good as I remember. Happy Gilmore was still hilarious.
 
Billy Madison is just a bunch of random skits put together. It is funny but mediocre as a movie. (the lines are great though) Happy Gilmore is leaps and bounds better. Plus Julie Bowen! (not that Mrs. Sampras isnt delightful!)

dupont evil Corp movie. Nothing new here

mookie knows why coach Calhoun hasn’t won a game in 7 years..... all white school. Seriously, not a single poc on screen.

fast times at ridgemont high

these guys learned. Recruited Jefferson and gave him a car. What happens? They assassinate Lincoln and win 42-0.
oh, and phoebe cates!!!
(interestinly, when mookie first watched this years ago, he had no idea what masterbation was and while appreciated the phoebe scene, didn’t follow along with judge. Thought judge was just poo poo when the door opened.

grease 2

1981 - oh my god I’m in grease 2!!!
1983 - oh my god I’m in grease 2!!!

friday foster

stocked cast. Gratuitous shower scene with Pam. Think this could be Carl weathers first movie. Yaphet vastly underrated actor.
 
The Dig, Netflix. Very good period piece about an archeological dig in the 30s. It follows Kepler's Law for Improving Any Movie: cut every scene with a child or a woman under 30.
 
How can it follow your law when there is a child in it and his situation is central to the story’s main character?
 
Sea of love

pacino & John Goodman chase Ellen barkin

that is how mooke remembers nyc. Dirty butthole

can neve decide on barkin.... hot or not
body double here, as recall she was married to some movie bigwig and avoided having to show off the pooty, which is sad as she did have a smoking body.
