    Well, at 13 I still considered myself a kid. That movie was directly aimed at my target audience - and my friends and I were probably some of the oldest ones in the theater when we saw it. I'd absolutely argue that "Star Wars" is a kids' movie.

        Star Wars was most certainly a kids movie.

            And robots. And a main character who is 16. And a big tall Muppet. and Lasers.

                2. The models are poorly done. Seriously, the models that they use for the domed city are never, NEVER convincing in the slightest.
                3. Apparently future societies will live within a giant mall.

                There's still much to enjoy, but it's still more of a cheesy guilty pleasure now.

                  Haha. Howard just doesn't want to admit it was creepy when he was 50 years old waiting in line for A New Hope.

                    hey now. I still like 'Logan's Run', but it's definitely ripe for improvement. A remake would probably kick all sorts of ass.

                      I could have sworn there were talks of J.J. Abrams remaking Logan's Run.

                        As originally conceived (and if it had been a standalone movie with zero follow-ups)? Got to disagree. Did Lucas, after discovering the kid appeal, dial up the kid factor? Mr. Moneybanks says "Hell, yes."

                          There was, but I had heard Bryan Singer wanted to do it. This was years ago.

                            Come on man. He was trying to re-capture the magic and awe of the serials he used to watch as a kid. You're grasping at straws.

                                Neil Marshall would make a good remake of 'Logan's Run', especially if he went back to the source book(s).
