I can relate. There are comedies from my childhood that have aged poorly, not to mention beloved sci-fi movies. It's actually hard to think of movies from any genre that don't age badly, but one film does come to mind right now: "Deliverance" with Burt Reynolds, Ned Beatty, Ronny Cox, and Jon Voigt. This is a much-parodied film because of a few classic scenes in it, but if you watch the actual film—which I really need to review at some point—you'll discover it's an incredible story on its own merits, and even by today's modern standards, it can hold your attention through its unpredictability. When I saw "Deliverance" some years ago, I was blown away by it. Of course, I'd love to see Ryan George's take on the film.
