Movie review thread...

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.

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) -

Some other 1980s movies not mentioned:
- Stand By Me

Oooooooo! Crocodile Dundee!!!! (Romancing the Stone just reminded me of it) Loved that movie and love Crocodile Dundee II as well.

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 ?
I remember being at the video store and we had to choose between that film and Back to the Future. We chose BTTF of course. For some reason I never saw the other one. It has a very young Ethan Hawke right?
Bovadae: I've been considering Romancing the Stone but I recall that crocodile hand eating scene to be incredibly graphic. On the other hand I was about 8 when I saw that film and laughed my head off. I recall Jewel of the Nile being boring as hell, but I may view it differently now.

TR Junior watched Forrest Gump on the weekend, he liked it.
