Film Review - Gremlins

Yes, the 1985 Christmas classic comedy horror. It's back on the big screen for one day only! I saw this first time around, and it's fair to say it made a much bigger impact back then. I've seen it many many times since, of course, and never fail to enjoy it.
However, if I was to be completely honest and objective, it has dated. The special effects, audio and visual, now feel especially crude. The film also has its obvious plot-holes (as mercilessly pointed out in its spoof sequel, The New Batch) and a lot of the action feels somewhat tame by today's standards.
Did I enjoy it any less than any other time I've seen it? Hell, no, and I'll continue to happily watch it again and again.
