You know what movie holds up? Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
You know what movie doesn't hold up at all and more people should rewatch it before getting all nostalgic about it? Space Jam.
 
It does hold up, but its part of that weird "films made by amblin that are tailor made to have their sets plopped into a universal studios park after shooting wraps" that was all over the late 80s and early 90s, such as Hook or something.

I really like most of the movies and love that production style but it makes it feel distinctly dated :$

Hook definitely has that feel to it (I still love the movie though). In regards to Roger Rabbit, it was kind of intentionally designed that way.

What sucks about Roger Rabbit is that I don't think we'll ever get another movie that has as many "crossovers" in it like that again. Wreck it Ralph was probably the closest.

Dick Tracy was another.

Roger Rabbit is magnificent. Space Jam was always garbage. Jordan is a terrible actor and it somehow managed to suck the funny away from all the Toons.

Fuck Lola Bunny

Like most, I could easily come up with 20 or so films I could watch over and over again... The yardstick by which I measure is the hypothetical situation of "I'm at home, there's nothing to do, I flick through a channel and find *insert name of film*, so I continue to watch it".

It goes higher if I decide to go to the channel+1 and watch it from the beginning. Bourne is a classic example (ITV show it all the time).

Edit: I have a free weekend in a couple of weeks - do I take the time to watch The Untouchables? I've never seen it, but I get the feeling I might like it?

The original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is also really high on my list as well. It's just hard to say, 'Well I guess I'll throw out Annie Hall for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.'

Plus, that list is already pretty action heavy. Can't slip in Demolition Man as much as I would want to. I'm actually less critical of movies than I am of a lot of other mediums. I love Men In Black a lot too.

I think there's a certain mindset on the internet who would read this literally.

Also, didn't they actually make her an interesting character in The Looney Tunes Show?

She's like a Mickie James type in that show. That show which has no business being as good as it is.

Does Dick Tracy hold up at all? It's literally been two decades since I've seen it.

Visually it does hold up surprisingly well. Mostly because it's a period film, but also because the set, and costume designs have such a clean appearance to it when compared to Roger Rabbit. The only thing that doesn't hold up well when it comes to the visuals are some of the matte paintings that stick out more thanks to Blu-Ray.

The script on the other hand is so razor-thin that nothing really stands out about the plot. I don't really know if that really helps it hold up?

But then there's a whole bunch of movies I'll just watch when I can't think of anything else too. I have no 'fav order' just movies to pass the time with.

I swear I'm not picking on you but

Alien and Aliens are SUCH different movies, you can't group them together.

real talk:

Mortal Kombat is high on my list ;___;

That film was ahead of it's time.

All that snark in a Kung Fu action movie that was based on a 90's video game. MK was MCU, way before MCU was a thing.

It's entertainment, pure and simple. I don't think it would ever be mistaken for a classic, but it's a good / great way of spending / passing time. So many films fit into this category, in varying levels - mainly action films (Die Hards, REs, Transporters etc).
