I agree especially with your 2nd paragraph I was the same way growing up I had to be inside before the street lights came on, I got spankings growing up, and etc.
I think I seen Pete's Dragon it's been a while, my to go film from the 80s would be E.T. and The Neverending Story if they ever remake these two..I just hope it doesn't happen. -

Honestly it's pathetic. It only shows how the currently suits in Hollywood have no originality or talent. Cashing in on past glories was fine if it's once in a while. Not a regular business.

I'm sick to death of it, almost all of the newer remakes/reboots/sequels are crap, with maybe a few notable exceptions. From what I've read, there
are
more original ideas & scripts floating around Hollywood, but the studios are so risk averse that they're ignored in favor of the "safe" choice, which is currently capitalizing on Gen X nostalgia. While I'm all for studios releasing catalog titles on blu-ray, trying to recapture that spontaneous, creative movie magic of the past just doesn't work. -

I've never seen any. Until they remake "The Breakfast Club" I probably will never notice. I remember correctly the box office wasn't such a fun place to hang out at in the 1980's I don't recall it being that popular. I believe the 1990's had to revise the box office.
I do remember movies on cable being very popular on TV back then. Movies they never play now at all. You could always count on seeing one no matter where you were at or any time of the day. They would just suck you in. They no longer play them and probably never will ever again. But it was fun watching them back then.
