Flight of the Navigator 1986
Technically, a child abduction movie but as Disney is the producer the abduction is done for laughs. You see the abductor is an alien spaceship that sounds an awful lot like Pee Wee Herman. Definitely a kid’s movie but does it still work?

216 Batteries Not Included 1987
Living machines from out of space having nothing better to do with their time help a bunch of New Yorkers hang on to a condemned building. Does that sound stupid? Sure. But maybe it still works?

Teen Wolf 1985
It’s the movie that launched a sequel, a cartoon, a TV show and a remake. But does that mean it still works? Also, just how many montages can a 90 minute movie have? A lot of them, evidently.

214 Manhattan Murder Mystery 1993
Our patreon people picked this minor Woody Allen movie. Can’t say here if it still works but we can mention that the women are all age appropriate and nobody wants to bed an underage child.so that’s different from Woody’s usual fare.

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans Guest Calvin Williams
It’s not a sequel. It’s not a remake. It’s simply another Bad Lieutenant but this time he’s in New Orleans and he is Nicolas Cage. Does that make it better or worse?
