I love the soundtracks. I just can't watch the movies without groaning. It's like trying to watch 60's era batman episodes after watching TDK. Albeit not quite that bad. And as I said, I do acknowledge that they were from a different time, but doesn't make them any more watchable. For me.
As far as science fiction goes, other movies from that era have held up much better. Star Wars and Alien bookend it (one from '77, the other '79). Close Encounters was also '77. All highly watchable, even today. As far as the others you mention, both were 20-30 years older than Superman. And both are classics that I'll watch whenever they're on. Certain movies transcend era. I don't think Superman is one of them.
