I'm surprised at how often I see adults rewatching Flight of the Navigator , even though it's very much a kid's movie. Harry and the Hendersons is particularly fun to watch now if you are a Poirot fan. Nostalgia tripping on the 1980s seems to rarely if ever include Max Headroom. To me, he was the essence of my high school zeitgeist. Maybe younger people today think he was too weird to have actually been a big deal. ( [VIDEO] )
