Movies that haven't aged well?

Yeah, sadly. Ace Ventura barely got a chuckle out of me a few months ago. Slightly better results with Dumb and Dumber.

I think the Mask is probably one of his better classic ones cause it at least makes sense for the Mask to act like Jim Carrey.

Pretty much most comedies age like milk. Most are also not very rewatchable either because you know the punchlines.

They're rewatchable when you're rewatching them with someone who hasn't ever seen them.

Coming to America is just as funny now as back then, seen the movie about 50 times since I was a kid.

When I was a kid I didn't know actors real names (and there was no internet back then), so I just knew Eddie Murphy as "Prince Akeem."

I used to watch it with my father and I would say, "Daddy, can you put on the movie with the funny black man who is a prince from Africa," "I like the funny black man."

Coming to America? Aged perfectly. You can watch it anytime with anyone new and it's fine.

Beverly Hills Cop? 1 and 2, sure. 3, no, but that was even bad when it came out.

The Golden Child? It'd be fine except for some hokier SFX, mostly towards the end.

I love every one of those movies. Especially The Golden Child.

I like The 40 Year Old Virgin, but it's kinda funny to watch it nowadays and seeing Andy being judged by owning a bunch of toys. A grown man having a big collection of those isn't that big of a deal socially nowadays.

Also, the gay jokes in it. I feel like a bunch of people will bring out the pitchforks if you make gay jokes on social media nowadays at least.

And I'm not sure if being a virgin at 40 will be viewed as something of a similar rarity to a shiny Pokémon in several years from now on as it was over a decade ago. Pretty sure there's been studies about how people who belong to the so called "Millennial generation" have sex later and less frequently on average than previous generations.

Think this is all a matter of individual perspective, maybe what mood one is innwhen they watch it again. Also, nothing feels the same after you've watched it for the first time, you'll never get that "first time perspective" back.

“Plan 9 from Outer Space”

Even the moviegoers in the 50’s thought it sucked.

Then it didn't really "age poorly", did it? It's not like there was ever a point when it was critically acclaimed or enjoyed genuine popularity.

Then I guess a better example would be “The Naked Gun” because of OJ Simpson

Sixteen Candles hasn't aged well, I like some parts of it

while I love The Breakfast Club, I can see why it would be too slow-paced for some people and it had some dated moments too
