Childhood TV - joy, wonder and awe.

Oh come on! If that bitch came to your yard and started tearing **** up whilst repeating everything you said to it back to you in a protracted, nasally robotic whine, wouldn't you want to dismantle it?

No way, my good man. I'd take him with me on a whirlwind adventure through downtown LA running from Nova

Another one I know we watched a lot but I can't remember anything about, was American Ninja... I do remember the baby getting chucked in a pool at the start but that's all. Now I'm not even sure if this film ever existed.

A baby was found my a master who named him Joe (only American name he knew) and trained him up to be sick with it. I dont remember anything else about it either!

[DjSatansfury]

You know i always remember Godzilla (god knows which one like, maybe Saur can tell me) being shown, and it having to protect baby godzilla on its island. I remember in the same movie, it fighting with some sort of giant spider, which scared the **** out of me.

[Saurian]

You don!
It's just got a region 1 release too:

Both Godzilla's kid (Minya) and Kumonga that spider are both in the latest film too. I used to watch Godzilla vs Gigan and Godzilla vs Mothra most when I was a kid I loved those two!

[DjSatansfury]

It always used to be on Chan 4 :S

I've seen countless Godzilla films. Not that i can remember them at all. My friend used to buy all the videos, Mothra, Mechagodzilla, etc etc

Next you'll be saying flight of the navigator was ****e!

[Leon Retro]

Ooh, and I forgot Lost Boys too (which may well be mentioned, but deserves another ).

8) I have watched this countless times and it always makes me smile!

Sam: "My own brother, a goddam, ****sucking vampire. Boy, you wait till mom finds out buddy."


Sam: "You drank someone's blood? Are ya crazy?"


David: "You'll never grow old, Michael, and you'll never die, but you must feed."


Frog Brothers: "Kill your brother. You'll feel better."

[Leon Retro]

Batteries not included?

A great film, who can forget the friendly robots from out of space!

[Leon Retro]

I know this is a bit lame, but I love these types of fims.

Ghoulies always made me laugh my head off!


Does anyone remember a similar film in the Gremlins genre, it had lots of little monsters and the leader had a mohican, was it called Munchies???

[importaku]

Goonies is a definate fave of mine. I got given the dvd for xmas and its quality stuff. Watching that film makes me feel really weird inside. Brings back memories as a kid during the 80's the location that it was set in was beautiful i would have given anything to have lived on that hill with all those cool houses.

Some pretty cool extras on the dvd too including some great missing scenes. Plus a audio/video commentary by all the cast which makes the film even more fun to watch.

The original was over four hours long before they started chopping scenes out, god i'd have loved to have seen the full film intact.

[Leon Retro]

Yeah, I agree with all your sentiments. Goonies is probably my favourite film of the 80's, it has everything, from the characters, the setting, to the music, it's all pure class.


Here they are, all the characters as adults. Gordo has obviously cut down on the milkshakes

[Bassman]

Great selection so far.

I got that R1 "The Last Starfighter".

One film that used to be on the box at Christmas was "The Amazing Mr. Blunden". I always did like that movie. Managed to get it on a R1 DVD.

What about "Big"?

[Tom Salter]

One has a white man (Fisher Stevens) blacking up and putting on a terrible Pakistrani accent; the other features the voice of Paul 'Antique Underage Erotica' Reubens.
