Passing of time/old movies warning youngens...
Some movies age well, I think the ones that rely more on acting and less on CG do better. A couple I love for example are "Key Largo" and "A Patch of Blue".

Today I just now finished watching a rerun of the first " Lethal Weapon" and while it was a blockbuster then, and it sounded and looked crisp and shiny, it looks so stupid now.

One of the scenes Riggs gets shot with a shotgun and flies back, and maybe it is just the now realist in me knowing humans dont do that, it looks stupid. The other plot hole was that the drug dealers kidnapped Murtaw's daughter to blackmail them into seeing if they knew where the drug deal would go down, but all I could think was why go to that length just switch the location. If you are corrupt former special opps, as the movie implies, should be able to ditch flatfoots. 

But even beyond that the sharpness and colors and music in old movies isn't there and it always seems to lose the new car smell luster after a few decades. I also got into the Friday The 13th movies as a teen, but watching them now they look totally stupid.

What movies, or TV shows have you looked back on and said to yourself, that looks soooooooo stupid now.
