Back To the Future
Watched it with my kids (8 & 6) for the first time. They absolutely loved it and and are so excited for the sequels.
In my view, certainly one fo the best movies ever made. Great plot to make you think, really enjoyable watching and some great character acting too. Fox's finest hour.

Predator
One of Arnie's 80s classics. I remember seeing this movie on the big screen with my friends when it was released, and had seen it again a few times since, but I can't remember watching it this millennium. What's not to like? The right mix of action and sci-fi, humorous one-liners and the ultimate predator.

I got a 3-movie Predator Blu-ray box set in the Black Friday sale for $10. Granted the sequel and 2010 movie aren't as good but I look forward to watching them.
@MN5 I started watching the Predator special features last night and the point was made about the studio hiring a bodyguard for Sonny Landham. Not to protect him, but to prevent Landham doing anything stupid like fighting on set.

The latest remake is apparently really bad. Worse than the 2010 version if that’s possible.

I didn't think that the 2010 version was that bad when I watched it back then. It will be interesting to see if a rewatch changes my mind for better, or for worse.
I haven't seen the 2018 movie and have no intention of doing so. The director and writer of the 2018 disaster just happened to play Hawkins in the Arnie movie. Shane Black has been involved in some decent movies but this won't be one he includes on his resume.

Not enough.
I've got a great idea for a chase and fight scene, but can't fit it in the movie.
No worries, we'll make another
Ok, but we'll need to write a script
Yeah, let's not worry too much about that...

The Karate Kid
Similar to back to the future, it was on tv the other night so I watched it with my kids. It's still an absolute classic, although somethings are certainly a bit out of date. Trying to explain the bullying to my kids was a bit uncomfortable, as some of it is pretty rough. Also, my kids were totally confused as to why he put the hose over him at the school dance. Which I guess is a fair question, as ultimately it just get his butt kicked even more.
Still, it's a great movie with a great ending.

Shocking video proves Daniel is the real bully of 'The Karate Kid'
For years you, like the rest of us, lived believing Daniel LaRusso was the hero and protagonist of the film The Karate Kid. New information has come to light irrevocably proving that Daniel isn't heroic at all, and is instead a sociopath. We have no one to blame but our
Pretty funny stuff

@MN5 the link goes to a paragraph about a video with no video. Seen funnier TBH.
Worked for me?
Was probably the best bestest thing I've ever seen on the internet actually.
Well, certainly the bestest thing @MN5 has ever posted, which is basically the same thing.
