Movie review thread...

Flight of the Navigator was great. Wouldn't have a clue how it'd hold up over time.

@Rancid-Schnitzel I'm loving this for nostelia reasons! How about Karate Kid. That is a ripper of a movie and I watched it recently and enjoyed
Oh yeah saw that a while back. They loved that too. Much more so than the remake with Will Smith's son and Jackie Chan.
The funny thing is that they want to know what the person looks like now. Was pretty funny with Ralph Macchio and the Goonies gang. Not so funny with Michael J. Fox unfortunately but he seems to be doing ok.

Watched that about three dozen times when I had my boy in the weekends . Still awesome .
He was a big fan of Labyrinth too , particularly the fox type character . -
I watched dances with Wolves the other night, understood it a bit more after an American guy I know gave me some books about the plains Indians . Enjoyed it still.
Weird to think James Cameron was watching it thinking " this would be so much better if they were eight feet tall and blue".

TR Jnr liked Ferris Buellers Day off, Bill & Teds Excellent Adventure, Ace Ventura, Dumb & Dumber...hasn't really taken to Waynes World.

Reading the last few posts reminds me that I've not seen movies almost everyone else my age has, particularly E.T.

@mariner4life I must've seen it on VHS twenty times when I was a kid. Great cast BTW.
-
@Rancid-Schnitzel Have you tried Karate Kid?
-
I think the reason I enjoyed 'Stranger Things" on Netflix was cos of so many of the movies mentioned above, the nostalgia value was great.
"Flight of the Navigator", wow there's one I haven't thought about for about 30 years, must give it a whirl to see if it's held up.
-
Haven't watched that one either.
-
Oh yes, they loved that one. They were doing that crane kick nonstop until one of them copped it in the nuts

Short Circuit ("Number 5 is alive!")

Difficult to find movies for kids that age.
In the end we decided we didn't mind M movies as long as there was/is no sex (no sex please we're tweenagers) and the violence was kind of stylised. Some suggestions that worked for us ...
(not 80s movies):
All the Pirates movies (the ghosts weren't too scary)
Stardust.80s movies:
Jumanji
Star Wars (ms boo jr didn't get it ...)
Indiana Jones (even if Temple and Skull were absolute rubbish) -

Re: Flight of the Navigator......looked it up and it isn't the one I was thinking of. ( still have fond memories of that one though )
I clearly got my 80s flicks confused, the movie I meant is actually this, anyone remember it ?
