Will they make any super hit family movies like the 90s ?

I enjoyed them, maybe because I watched them as a child, or maybe I have a different taste in movies to you.
I've seen a few home alones after but they have all been rubbish except no 2 3 was ok, it seam they milked the home alone nothing else.
I love films like Home Alone and The Goonies but then i was an 80's kid.
Home Alone 1 & 2 were the best.

I always find going back to 80's and 90's movies that I love a risky thing to do. More often than not as said above, it's a case of rose-tinted specs and they simply aren't as good as I used to think they were.
Some movies are exempt of course but most old comedies are almost cringe-worthy now.

agreed, I forgot about the Goonies.
I agree with you here to a extent.
I've watch most of the movies I like as a kid, some I thought what was I thinking, but most I still liked a lot after watching them again.
Everyone raved and endless talk about Home Alone in the 90s. Uncle Buck wasn't as big but many people did talk about it. Probably because Home Alone wasn't out yet… Some of it was a good chuckle. Good music too.
Was Weird Science a family film? Or was that more towards teenagers? That film was fun as well. Ah yes, it was for teenagers. Lot of "s***" said throughout the film.
Hollywood has really changed since the mid 00s? Nothing from my memory really sticks today like films you'll always remember from the late 80s/90s. Other films do as adult films.
Even the music. There's a strange different magic back then compared to today for strange different reasons. Maybe the fact things weren't so instant back then.
I don't know how one could describe it. There was lots of good stuff back then as well as awful. Though the same could be said today but it seems you really have to hunt for most of it today. Or maybe it's just that thing with getting older.

They won't as Hollywood has ran out of ideas and will just re-hash old movies or make sequels.

This.
I absolutely love Beverly Hills Cop, Terminator 1+2, To The Future and Toy Story.
I recently watched Top Gun for the first time.
Are they crap by today's standards? Yes, but to me they are awesome.

I watched Pretty Woman again last night and I must admit they don't make them like that anymore. Seen so many romantic comedies since and that is still one of my favourite!
Mother Goose! Everybody raved about Top Gun for years. More so the girls/women. It went on till 89/90.
Lies! Look how great film looked back then and the scripts. Including all the car chases!
Is that ******* Foley in there!
Got to love Taggart and Billy.
The Hotel manager was funny.
All these films had such awesome soundtracks.
