Name a movie you used to like and now dislike.

I'd say "The Living Daylights". I still love the spy concepts, spiert spienum "death to spies" bit and all that, AND having a straight-laced suspenseful and dynamic Bond film, with a real actor at the helm (RADA-trained no less and a pity he was replaced 8 years later by a freakish clown!)... but the movie is so much Mujahedeen (Taliban) propaganda shoveled out by the pro-reagan twerps of the time (1987) because they and us were fighting them evil soviets back then... yuck. Some of it is watchable, some of it just isn't. I hate political propaganda.

3. Not even the infamous line where Elliot says

'penis breath'? Which I gathered was not removed from the film (though all guns were replaced with walkie-talkies? Never mind the line "you look like a terrorist" that had been cut out... :eyes: )

It was also early-80s. Uber-trendy and was nothing more than a vehicle to put in subliminal product ads (reces peanut butter things and bicycles and other things)

4. Well...

the movie itself was putting me to sleep and only John William's score always woke me up.

5. Breakfast Club.

Liked it in 1986, but I chanced across some of it on TV a few weeks ago.

I did a lot of cringing at its awfulness.
