Movies that make you feel old

*CyberCubed* · 05-15-2016, 05:52 PM

I saw Batman 1989 in theaters when I was 4. Kids today haven't even seen the Nolan Batman movies in theaters.

Kids today consider Spiderman 2002 to be a "retro" movie. Hugh Jackman was only 31 years old when he played Wolverine for the first time in X-men 1, and that's pretty young considering most of us are close to or around that age.

Jake Lloyd who played Anakin in Phantom Menace is now in his 20's and in an insane asylum. lol.

Spy Kids (2001)
Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001)
Mulan (1999)

Any other Disney movie from the mid-to late '90s.

Also, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, which I saw in theaters, as well as the Ang Lee Hulk movie, which I saw on opening day.

Anything from the mid to late 80's. So many movies I saw in theaters and now when I see them on TV or watch on DVD I feel old.

Growing up with the old Batman movies is weird. I guess anything that's been rebooted more successfully would.

I feel old whenever I watch the first Rush Hour. That movie just feels old, and I watched it in theaters. Ditto for Men in Black.

The Santa Clause and Jingle All the Way may very well become Christmas classics, so it's gonna be weird if my future grandchildren are watching them on TBS every year.

Most Pixar movies. Especially A Bug's Life. It was the first Pixar trailer I ever saw. This one specifically.

My "feel old" list comes from the late 90's and early 2000's mostly. Probably Lion King onward to Monsters Inc.

Nothing, really. I'm still young.

*Prowler* · 05-15-2016, 10:14 PM

Space Jam and Toy Story.

When I see stuff I grew up with celebrate anniversaries it definitely makes me feel old. It's not the same way as seeing Batman celebrate 75 years since to me he had been around forever than a franchise I watched as a kid celebrate its 25th anniversary.

*The Deadman* · 05-15-2016, 11:03 PM

Anything before the 90s since I was born in the 80s

Toy Story came out in 1995, which is now over 20 years ago. I saw that in theaters as a kid. It was one of the first (if not first?) Pixar CG animated Disney movies, and the graphics still look good to this day.

Goddamn. When you say a Pixar movie like Toy Story is 20 years old I don't know how that can NOT make people feel old. Remember the days when most Disney movies were hand drawn?

I saw Dark Night Rises in theaters. I had Spider-Man on Dvd when it came out...

As a teenager I considered Terminator 2 as the coolest movie and 100% matching the spirit of that time - "You could be mine" from Guns N'Roses was part of the soundtrack... today I feel old when I see Arnold, as well as Axl Rose sitting on a "throne" on stage with a broken foot and squeaking

*Prowler* · 05-16-2016, 01:46 PM

The first two American Pie movies. They're soooo dated. Maybe it's also because I'm not a kid anymore, but I can't even smile watching them nowadays. I just find them retarded.

Teenagers are scum.

*IndigoErth* · 05-16-2016, 01:49 PM

Pretty much anything memorable from the early 2000s. It's hard to accept that those films are around 15 years old already, give or take.

*Utrommaniac* · 05-16-2016, 01:49 PM

I noticed the first Ironman was from 2008...I was ending middle school/starting high school when that came out. This is on the tail end of "feeling old" to me.
