When I was 11 or 12 my dad finally realized he didn't give a poo poo what I watched, so my friend and I were allowed to watch R-Rated Movies (as long as we didn't tell our moms.) Boy oh boy we didn't give a poo poo if they were any good, if it was an R-Rated action, horror, or sci-fi movie we were all the gently caress about it.

We loved:
Creepshow 1, 2 and 3 (actually the first one is pretty sweet)
Robocop 1 and 2 (we actually thought the 3rd one was dumb as poo poo. And we figured out why: IT IS PG-13 LIKE FOR BABIES!)
Death Race 2000
The Blob (The 1988 remake. It's actually kind of the poo poo, super gory and they kill off a kid towards the end, which we thought was loving awesome.)
Sleepwalkers
Total Recall (A sweet movie)
Starship Troopers! (This was the 1st r-rated movie we were allowed to see in the theaters. Some ticket lady tried to rat us out, telling my dad "This is very violent movie." but my dad was like "Then I'm sure they're going to love it. 3 please.")
Speed (This one we actually weren't too in love with, it wasn't quite r-rated enough in our opinions. But we owned the VHS so we still watched it all the time)
All of the Aliens and both Terminators. (Of course. Those were required viewing in the 90s.)

Oh poo poo, AND MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE! That movie was so bad that my mom knew it was R-Rated but she still didn't give a poo poo if we watched it. And she is a properly strict British lady too, so it had to be a properly dumb movie for her to let us watch it. "It's nonsense I don't know why you watch this one so much." Because it had killer trucks and steamrollers mom, duh.

And then basically every movie in the horror sections of video stores. We would spend a long-rear end time just staring at movie covers, trying to find the one with the grossest cover. Most of them were terrible, but they were R-Rated so they were also great. Oh yea, we LOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVED the Critter's movies. Basically anything where people got eaten by monsters was The poo poo.

We hated Ernest Scared Stupid though. I think both of us were just way too loving scared by it, because we used to love the other Ernest movies, but we'd always skip over Scared Stupid because it's actually pretty drat scary.

This but I was 6 when my dad gave up. Earnest scared stupid was p good tho.

I was a huge fan of Pauly Shore movies as a pre-adolescent. It led to me assuming one could be a tool and still get incredibly hot women. It turned out to be a false assumption.

Biodome is still a dope movie and I will fight anyone who disagrees.

There's some legit stuff in there, even if it is a parable start to finish.

That reminds me of another favorite from when I was a kid. Biodome.
