Tron ["Greetings, Programs!"]

NOT Goonies
I actually saw Goonies for the first time a few months ago, and apart from annoying screaming, I enjoyed it lots. Maybe that's because I got nostalgic for Goonies II on NES or something.

"This is OUR TIME *nerd voice*"

I saw Tron last week again on G4. Jeff Bridges sweats like a beast when playing some game about something I can't comprehend.
-
claremont's 1980s xmen
-
Natalie Portman.

Tron, absolutely Tron. Heck, it might have even gotten better over the years for being so far ahead of the curve and its simple, but effective and stark CGI.
And Godzilla movies, for the most part, are better then my 6-10 year old self gave them credit for. I can now better understand the subtext(yes, giant monster films have subtext), better appreciate the intricately made models and special effects, and the availability of the original, non-englisized versions makes it easier to appreciate the unironically great orchestral scores many of the older Godzilla flicks possessed. And all the Post 90's giant monster films are made with enough technical chops that I don't have to cut them any slack.
and all the Charlie Brown TV specials, last I checked, they were still ridiculously heartening short films.

If I had to pick one TV show to watch for the rest of eternity, it would be this.

You would've liked one of my ex's. She was a bit of a golddigger but she loved the show, we would always watch old VHS tapes of it while making out and fooling around.

Not Speed Racer!

Aliens, Ghostbusters, Robocop and Major League have all stood the test of time.
-
Conan the Barbarian
Punch Out (arcade version, bitches)

I really can't think of any television show that still stands up. 80's television was 99% garbage.
-
Pirates of Dark Water
90s X-men
Batman: TAS
Gargoyles
Ducktales
Chip and Dale's RR
Talespin
Darkwing Duck
(fuck, most disney shows during the time. They were on a roll!)
Garfield (destroyed the comic, which is not a huge accomplishment, of course)
Heathcliff
Inspector Gadget
Exosquad
Sure, most of these shows had shite animation, but story and dialogue wise, plus the way they were directed, they kicked the shit out 99.9% of cartoons after 2000.

My list:

I'm hesitant to list all the awesome late 80s early/90s action movies, even though they are nearly 20 years old now.

This is what they have out, as far as I know. They aren't put together as well as they should be (like for example, the first five episodes of Ducktales that make up a movie of how it all started are in Volume 2...wtf), but I love these shows and I'll take what I can get, haha.

Exosquad was awesome, but then it got canceled right before the big war started. :(

DUCKTALES! GUMMI BEARS! TALESPIN!
-
The Ghostbusters, the first two TMNT movies, Dig-Dug, and narcotic abuse.
-
Pinky and the Brain, Super Mario Bros. 3, and I liked Goof Troop as well. I tried to aim for the shows outside of what everyone else here has mentioned. I don't remember much about the shows I watched as a kid.

The first two were great. I saw the first one every day for two years in a row. I'm being serious about that one. I remember going to Pizza Hut so I could get the TMNT soundtrack.

Yeah, I'm starting to get a little worried though because they haven't released a new set in a long while, and they've still got a bunch of episodes to go for all of those shows.
-
I hate when they do that. I believe for The Adventures of Pete n Pete, there are 3 seasons and they released the first two without plans to release the final season. Like, WTF is that?
ETA, from Wiki: The show was created by Will McRobb and Chris Viscardi and began as minute-long shorts in 1989 that aired in between regular programs. Owing to the popularity of the shorts, five half-hour specials were made, followed by a regular half-hour series that ran for three seasons (1993-1996) and continued in reruns until around 1999. The N aired reruns of the show between 2002-2003. Since 2005, reruns of the series have occasionally aired on Hallmark Channel along with other classic Nickelodeon series. The first two seasons were released on DVD in 2005 and the third was planned for 2006 but was indefinitely postponed.

That should be illegal. We should file a class action lawsuit.

Haha that would be so awesome.

Speaking of the unjust halt of DVD series releases, I want the rest of Upright Citizen's Brigade, damnit.
