Did you ever get so nostalgic that you started crying?

[RolandCuthbert]

Shed some tears today on twitter.

A poster tweeted this photo.

This made my heart literally ache. Before most of you were even born. . . we had this flick;

They claimed it bombed at the box office. But I loved this movie.

Haven't had that moment yet lol still trying to find my fav generation besides cartoons in the 90s lol

[RolandCuthbert]

Well, I found my favorite from the 80s online at youtube. You might have similar luck there.

A little before your time, we had a cartoon on Saturday morning called "Dungeons and Dragons".

[RolandCuthbert]

I can’t get over how the entire series is on YouTube. They even included the concept for the series finale.

I saw this at the drive in with my kids. It was a good movie.

[RolandCuthbert]

Wow. Didn't know you were a fan.

I loved it. Just loved the whole video game angle.

[exitseven]

Well, we were on vacation and there was a drive in movie theater and the kids never went to a drive in before. but from what I remember it was a pretty good movie.

That was a fun one. I probably even have the book somewhere. Starlite Motel, wasn't it?

[RolandCuthbert]

Good guess. But the movie is called "The Last Starfighter".

[goaded]

I failed to answer your question. Yes, occasionally, but not usually from a movie, more often from a song.

[goaded]

The motel where the protagonist lived was called Starlite or Starbrite, that's what I was thinking of. He had an android stand-in that took his bunk bed while he was off fighting the armada, they told his little brother he was having a bad dream when they were there at the same time.

[RolandCuthbert]

Hmmm. . . I wonder if I might like that movie. It seems similar. But the had a funny premise. The lead character was picked to fight this alien invasion because he was good at playing a video game.

[goaded]

We're talking about the same movie: The Last Starfighter

The motel name is in the bottom right of the poster:

[RolandCuthbert]

@goaded oh shit! Was the movie title different in Germany?

[goaded]

No. Well, probably, they have a record of really stupidly renaming titles (I hid the box of Orphan Black from my daughter because the German title spoiled the big reveal in episode 1). No, it was just a stupid fact that stuck in my head for decades, although it was a trailer park, not a motel.

[RolandCuthbert]

Yep. . ."them mobile home that never went anywhere". Haha! How do I remember that conversation?

My mother says my memory is weird. I can remember back when I was two years old. And we used to go to the bowling alley. She would stand over me and we would roll bowling balls down the alley. She does not understand how I could remember that.

But I have heard about Orphan Black. Was that a good show?

[goaded]

Orphan Black is amazing! The main actress is unbelievably good, and I won't tell you anything else about it, other than it's sci-fi set in the present day. Watch it!

[MAC1983]

We seem to like the same things often, and I really liked it. Orphan Black isn't perfect, but nothing is!
It does not pamper you or spoonfeeds you everything.
Yet is highly entertaining and will mess with your expectations and assumptions from beginning to end, which I thing will make you like it.
Try it.👍🏻🌝 "I command thee!"(remember that?😉)

Certainly, Nostalgia is known to be deadly. Thankfully, I am not Swiss. So, it’s never threatened me.

[Alchemizt]

I often get hit with nostalgia but I don't know anything about the movie you posted.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Most definitely, although I can’t put my claw on it.

[NostalgiaSenpi]

Not that I remember.
