almost anything Jim Carey and Adam Sandler their voices are like nails on a chalkboard
Death Wish 3, 4 and 5. As the series moved on, they just got sillier.
Same for the Star Wars movies they just keep cranking out.

My contribution to this thread isn’t so much about a movie, but a movie franchise.
Star Wars. I loved the Star Wars movies, they were good fun,….until Disney got involved. Disney tries to bring the modern day problems associated with the ideologies of our society into its projects and it’s blatantly in your face.
It’s too preachy. I want an escape, not a reminder of the quagmire that is our society today.
I still love “Star Wars”, “The Empire Strikes Back”, and “Return of the Jedi”.

My wife hates Sandlot, now, but I still love it. My kids wore out 101 Dalmatians when they were little. My left eye gets a little twitchy whenever I see anything to do with it.
The Monty Python movies were far more funny when I was a college student in the 1980s and would take a study break during finals to watch one.
Some ~40 years later, I can't make it through one.

Wayne's World, It came out when I was in grade 12. I tried watching it a few years ago and made it about half way though the movie, it didn't age well or my tastes have improved???
Quick shout out to the worst sequel ever Conan the Destroyer. Try watching that movie, truly awful and the worst sequel ever!

That type of movies need you to be in a certain mindset to enjoy. Knowing all the jokes and punchlines doesn't help of course. Surely you can still enjoy them when the time is right...
Agreed. The next 2 or 3 were still passable aswell for me, but nothing after that.

Then you should like the Diszzy films, they literally recycled the plot of at least 2 of the originals....
Ironically the best post original 3 film is Rogue One where there is none of the Force, Jedi, or Sith silliness - other than Vader kicking ass....
Andor is the only franchise series worth a cent...
I still enjoy Deadpool, Dumb and dumber , Hot Tub Time Machine that make my wife nuts.
Many 80s movies seem I liked into 90s I think what was I thinking.

Best thing about Airplane is the nearly endless sight gags incorporated in it-every time I watch it (not that often), I see another one that I missed or had forgotten about. And, anything with Gene WIlder in it is a timeless classic-that's a hill I'm willing to "die on". Non PC comedy like these 2 no longer exist...
Anything De Niro who I will not watch and anything Disney post-1999 which is leftist fecal material.
I love what they did with Matlock.

Movies in themselves usually lose appeal because of being dated. If you added TV shows, I have to say "Murder, she wrote". I hated it then, and I hate it even worse now, when I see it flash by the tv guide.
Originally Avant-garde and shocking, Liquid-Sky was a cult hit in the early 80's - now it just seems more than a bit messed up.
Maybe shock has lost it's awe over those 40 some odd years of maturation ...

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and Bonnie and Clyde. Both were movies about horrible people who got what they deserved in the end. I watched them more recently and wondered how I ever like them.
