There are movies I can not go back to because of the abuse 'culture' something probably happened to 'Bella Thorne' she seems very damaged. The culture is so bad it was said to be 'An Open Secret' there was even a movie made as all the Weinstein stuff was breaking called Open Secret, Tarnatino was also very close to Weinstein but I was already sick of Tarantino's crap long before any scandals broke. Ricky Gervais ripping Hollywood apart during a Live Show was one of the best things to happen, the criminal abusive culture needed to be called out.
The child actors thing is odd and difficult knowing the crimes of Hollywood 'Lost Boys' is a bit weird I think it would be ok to re-watch but I don't know, people have been out of their minds on drugs in Hollywood the 2Coreys were abused that is Corey Feldman, Corey Haim but I think it was by Charlie Sheen who was named or maybe a different experience in other movies, I think he said he was assaulted on the set of Lucas in 1986, corroborated by his ex-wife a co-star of a movie. The DC Warner Bros actor Ezra Miller and Marvel Actor Jonathan Majors are gone off the deep end...but I was already tried of the superhero genre before the modern scandals came how.
The Corey Feldman thing is terrible. its kinda sick knowing how twisted Hollywood might truly be, I think a lot of their movies I would not be able to re-watch. Bella Thorne I think it was her who stated she had been sexually abused repeatedly, I would not be shocked to learn Ellen Elliot Page or all those other tranny kids had something terrible, years of abuse maybe happen to them.

This bit player in the Hollywood legal scene has a reputation for doing dirty work for powerful people. Shockingly, he was just rewarded very openly and prominently for his most recent efforts.

I understand what you're saying Jaynez, but I believe that what you're talking about is way beyond the limited scope of this thread.
There's nothing like any of that taking place in the disappointment of my rewatch of 10 Things. Yeah, Heath Ledger's death was tragic, but as far as we know at least it was under far different circumstances than what Bella Thorne or Corey Feldman went through. I always liked Leger and it was either this or the TV show ROAR that I'd first seen him. I'd also liked Stiles in anything I'd seen her in too. The fact that they were both in it maybe lead to it being more memorable for me than other similar films at the time, along with the great title of the film, but it was just a pretty cringy rewatch. And I'm not even sure how much of that cringe was from the movie itself or my own embarassment for having held this film in such high regard for several decades before rewatching it.
Speaking of Bella Thorne, I remember seeing her in Ghost World somewhere around the same time as 10 Things... maybe a few years later. It also had Steve Bucemi, who is always great, and I believe it was Scarlett Johannsons first role. I remember seeing her in it and thinking that a star was born that day.
That's one I could probably rewatch now without being disappointed. Outside of sci-fi stuff, it was a little bit deeper than a lot of the movies I was consuming back then though, probably.

the more modern Musicals, they don't hold up vs the Classics, in the past people would sing and tap dance very well, even Spielberg has trouble recreating that era of magic. Rita Hayworth, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers you had all kinds of immigrants giving life to a new era of music...although Ginger wasn't the greatest on dance she knew enough to fake it. There is acting and dance today but the level of performance today is poor, it lacks musicality or is missing that fun edge, back then many had to know their stuff and do it with one take.
Godfather...just boring on rewatch
Xanadu ...I don't know what it is a disco cartoon musical, I thought it was bad now its even worse
Hocus Pocus other dumb 80s, 90s comedy, boring,
Police Academy sequels, Revenge of the Nerds still fun but less funny
Star Trek movies, many dont hold up
Easy Rider you could watch it once as it defines a period of time
Hackers its was cool for its time 1995 but its kind of trash today
Scary Movie Franchise funny for the time but too much current pop culture
the Holiday Vacation Special - Ernest Collections, Peanuts special, Star Wars specials, many National Lampoons
Butch Cassady and the Sundance Kid, good but long, not for a re-watch
STILL GREAT
as the comicbook thing has been over done some people say Avengers doesn't hold up I would argue it still does hold up
some Star Wars movies aged worse for example Attack of the Clones
Forrest Gump, American History X, American Beauty probably don't hold up as good int he post 911 World or whatever 'political world' we are in now?
What does hold up even though they have been watched many, many times
Classic Scifi Terminator, Terminator 2
Alien, Aliens
Saving Private Ryan
The Patriot 2000
Yojimbo Kurosawa
Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris fight in Rome in The Way of the Dragon or Return of the Dragon
Dollars Spaghetti Western Trilogy
The Lord of the Rings
This Is Spinal Tap
Top Secret! 1984 "Airplane!" and Naked Gun hold up

Quote:For Ghost World, Thora Birch was considered to be the star, after her work in American Beauty.

Scarlett was on the rise, having done well in the widely seen Horse Whisperer.
I enjoyed the cast for GW, which was why I watched it.
