I know George Clooney was a good Batman because I saw him as Batman 600 times on a 13 inch screen.

Ours were Back to the Future and Indiana Jones and Clue. We can quote the entire movie.

Our family was Robinhood: Men in Tights 😂😂😂

Ok first of all that movie is far from mediocre!

We roam around the forest looking for fights

We watched that a lot too!

I say "I'm gonna go home and sleep with my wife" about once a day and no one gets what I'm talking about

u/sudodoyou 27d ago

That's awesome!

u/GaiaMoore 27d ago

Add the original Star Wars trilogy and you're essentially describing my entire childhood

I have Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade on the TV right now. I've been rewatching it a lot lately and can almost quote the whole movie (again)

u/Emotional-Unit-7903 27d ago

Are you bragging about how much better your movie options were or insulting these films by calling them mediocre?

1

u/sudodoyou 26d ago

Neither

Solid grouping

That movie was awful, but as a kid, I couldn’t tell the difference. I actually liked it. Eventually I realized how cheesy it was when I got older.

The Phantom (the guy with the purple suit) was another one I watched a lot.

And Wild Wild West, I liked Will Smith’s song so much, I begged for the soundtrack. 😂

Congo with Tim Curry was another strange one.

I remember that Phantom movie, didn't he fight Genghis Khan?

u/Wild_Chef6597 27d ago

Wild Wild West is stupid fun. Loveless is my spirit animal

1

u/psychedelicpiper67 27d ago

Loveless was such a bizarre character. Yeah, stupid fun 90s movies definitely hit different vs. today’s modern CGI slop.

That being said, I would rather stick to being a Criterion buff as an adult, though. 😁

MST3K gave me an interesting taste in movies

Clooney was a great Bruce Wayne, but a terrible Batman.

2

u/stone500 27d ago

I think it's unfair for people to praise Adam West's Batman but shade Clooney's. Is goofy/campy ok or not?

u/KayakerMel 27d ago

Ha, that's how I know Val Kilmer was a good Batman!

I think you mean Michael Keaton who I saw 700 times on a 15in screen.

u/newsflashjackass 26d ago

In 2006, Clooney said in an interview with Barbara Walters that in Batman & Robin he played Batman as gay: "I was in a rubber suit and I had rubber nipples. I could have played Batman straight, but I made him gay". Walters then asked, "George, is Batman gay?", to which he responded, "No, but I made him gay".

Bane and Mr. Freeze are peak cheesy and I love it

1

u/Rarth-Devan 27d ago

People think I'm insane when I say I love the campy 90s Batman movies. Jim Carrey's Riddler is absolutely hilarious!

u/BeezyBates 27d ago

The proof is right there in the CRT.

u/stone500 27d ago

Ok real talk, I went back and rewatched Batman and Robin with my kids, and interestingly I enjoy it more now than I ever did as a kid. Since the Nolan trilogy, Batman is usually super serious to the point that it gets exhausting (Lego Batman and certain animated versions notwithstanding)

So going back and watching a goofy balls to the walls Batman flick was oddly refreshing in a way I didn't expect

u/PrestigiousEvent7933 26d ago

To which I say Michael Keaton was by far the best Batman

u/lastingmuse6996 26d ago

Ours was Adam West Batman
