I watched tons of movies from before I was born.
It's most of what I watched growing up.

That's the difference between a generation of parents where entertainment media like television and movies were a treat and not a distraction.
Parents in those generations remembered and cherished those moments because they were active entertainment options you had to seek out. That's never going to be a thing in the sensory overload generations. You're not even going to really be able to do that for your own kids, they won't get it and they won't care. Our generation was the cusp. We didn't grow up with immediate gratification, it didn't become available to us until we were older. So we understand both sides.
We grew up in a unique time in that regard.

i grew up on old movies. Buster Keaton, Little Rascals, Three Stooges Abbot & Costello and Laurel & Hardy. as i got older i started watching everything i could from the beginning of movies on up. i definitely prefer movies from the 1920s and early 30 before the Hays Code kicked. i dont talk about it much cuz everyone already calls me an old geezer bcause i talk about 70s and 80s films. imagine if i started talking about my favorite Wallace Beery or Lon Chaney films?

Little Big Man is a great movie. They packed so much into that movie. It is very funny and charming and then it switches to some really bad bad stuff. There is a death scene, that is gut wrenching right after a very grotesque and somewhat fun scene embedded in a slaughter of Indians.
Edit: Uh, meant to quote chucks post.

sorry, man, probably should have mentioned that the movie has a few tough scenes. i guess they needed to show why he wants to kill Gen Custer. i forgot about that because they made Custer cartoonishly insane to the point that it sort of deflates the horrible things he was portrayed as doing.
-edit
BTW all those movies i suggested have some tough scenes in it. thats how the 70s were.

The remake is due out soon but the original Firestarter with Drew Barrymore hasn't really aged as well as I thought.
I also remember enjoying the Damien series, though they would go on to beat that dead horse over and over. 80's horror was pretty solid.

None of you amateurs remembered this?
And who can forget “Radio Flyer,” the film my parents took me to for my birthday, thinking it was some adventure flick about kids who build a flying wagon and then it turned out to be a film about child abuse?

I guess they are only vaguely similar (teenager + technology + war), but I associate DARYL with WarGames :
