Love this movie...but


The Faltermeyer score really dates it.

you could say that but on the other hand don't we want to feel like we are back in 1984/ '85 again when we watch it? that is the great thing with the movies as they age is the "feel of the time" at least I think so.

reply

Agreed, fxdiamond, very well put. That's exactly how I feel about watching old movies, especially 80s movies. (And yikes, 80s movies qualify as "old" now. Not, like, sorta/kinda, just straight up OLD! When did that happen??) Admittedly, I'm a nut for Fletch's synth theme, so I'm inclined to defend it. If I could walk around all day with that song following me, I'd be fine with that.

I agree but as fxdiamond said, it takes those of us who lived through it back to the time. Fletch just wouldn't work today.
