Don’t tell me that! I watch it at least once a year (at the beginning of tornado season, natch). Now I’m worried it’ll become awful for me too!

Mad Max

I liked it when I was an adventure starved college student, now at nearly 50 it was a boring snoozefest. Even my 17 year oldsaid “Mom, this is kinda boring.”

On the other hand, I liked Airplane MUCH more as an inappropriate 48 year old than I did as a clueless and rather uptight 14 year old. 😃

Are you talking about the whole series, or just the first film? I found it kind of boring to begin with but\* Mad Max 2\* grew on me the older I got.

**John Candy does**. The rest of the film is pretty lame and whole affair might have failed had someone else been cast in the Uncle Buck role.

Just the first one, I haven’t seen Road Warrior in probably 30 years, kind of scared too since the first didn’t hold up.
