Such a horrible flick.  My wife and me couldn't believe he was watching it.

Anyway.  Out of curiosity and boredom I got on my smartphone and looked up the reviews and time of release.

On the same weekend of it's opening...  ET:The Extra-terrestrial , Poltergeist, and Rocky III came out.

To sit there and see those 3 classic movies that are past cultural icons on that list was dumbfounding.

Overboard wasn't bad but should get beat out by a lot of flicks that year.

1995 is hers and I think she may go for another off the beaten path.    Rent-a-Kid.   I may head that off by watching it with the children.

We have kodi on a chromebox for our television. And we used the exodus app movies by year.    Here is what we watched so far.    We rotated choosing the movie every year.   Kids didn't get a vote since this is when they go to bed.  

1986 - Money Pit 
1987 - Overboard (wife's fav movie)
1988 - They Live (one of my favs)
1989 - Say Anything
1990 - Tremors 
1991 - Father of the Bride
1992 - Resevoir Dogs
1993 - Sleepless in Seattle
1994 - Pulp Fiction
1995 - yet to be decided.....   

I'm sure you can guess who chooses what year lol.   

This has started into a thing and we are having fun with it ....  It came up over dinner last weekend with our friends and now they plan on giving it a go.     

What Movies would you choose for your ladder or where did we go wrong lol.   

There were a bunch of years where I could have watched several movies.... Also makes me sad that movies now are just remakes or political/social statements.... Where is the creativity these days?

You must Choose Wisely   (from an 1989 movie)

you might want to dedicate several night or a week to 1 year...  stretch it out longer.
