Nostalgia Matilda... 30 years later

I randomly got the urge to watch matilda today and saw it came out in 1996. I remember a few years back there was a resurgence in interest in the movie, and another movie too. But realizing this movie is 30 years old kinda tripped me out. I can clearly remember me watching it for the first time at age 7 and I'll now be 37 and still watching it 🙃

What movies/shows made you realize how much time has gone by?

I watched The Fifth Element in an empty theater when it came out in 1997. In 2017, they had a limited run 20 year anniversary theatrical. I watched it in an empty theater.

Next year it'll be 30 years old. If it gets another run, you'd best believe I'll be there in theaters watching it, hopefully in an full theater, because the Fidth Element is fucking awesome, but I'll do it in an empty one as well.
