The Lost Art of the Family Film

[MetalMilitia]

Why is it that people can't make good family films any more?

I think it was around 1995 when they all turned shit. Before that there was all kinds of good stuff like Mrs. Doubtfire, Home alone 1/2, Honey I shrunk/blew-up/killed the kid/s, National Lampoon's Vacation. Even obviously dreadful films were pretty awesome (Kindergarten Cop/Sister Act).

These days it's all stuff like Cheaper by the Dozen 1/2/3/4/5/... Are We there Yet? and other gay shit.

I don't even think it's just the rose tinted spectacles of nostalgia that make me believe pre-1995 films are better because I still enjoy them when I watch them today.
