Return to Oz

[/ QUOTE ]

It was too dark. Dark isn't always better.

Dorothy going to a mental hospital was over the top. Seeing Munchkinland and Emerald City in ruins didn't help.

The only time the movie get me interested was when the Gnome King revealed the secret to his power.

[housenuts]

i can't remember much of the movie at all. i can remember when she's trapped in the room and puts that magic dust on the couch with the moose's head and it comes to live and flies out of there.

also the part near the end where she's in the room and needs to pick the right emerald or something.

oh ya, and the part in the witch's house where she has all those heads in jars. that was creepy.

the memory of those 3 scenes alone makes me want to see the movie again.

[Dynasty]

You might be someone who would enjoy reading Gregory McGuire's novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West.

The title is self-explanatory and starts just before her birth and continues to just after her death. However, it's sort of an upside-down version of Oz where the Witch is on the side of good and the Wizard of Oz is an evil dictator.

ducktales the treasure of the lost lamp


man I wish that [censored] was out on DVD I would be all over that

[brassnuts]

I know there were a bunch, but I'm sorta drawing a blank. I remember liking The Brave Little Toaster, though.

lol, man I remember that movie....I liked it a ton when I was little.

I also forgot to say I really liked "Goonies" (still do) and "the never ending story"

[bernie]

Jason and the Argonauts
The Sinbad movies
Robin Hood/ flynn's pirate movies
Classic monster movies.

Wiz of oz was always an annual deal. After awhile, though, it was just to see what they cut out.

The Wizard of Oz
The Boy with Green Hair
Great Expectations (1946)

[And a slew of Horror & Sci-fi movies.]

[brassnuts]

Goonies, of course! The Neverending Story is a given. I like Reef's choice of Labyrinth as well, even though David Bowie always weirded me out.

[ozyman]

The already mentioned Goonies, Stand by Me and The Burbs. I call it the Corey Feldman trilogy.

[Zoltri]

[Jack of Arcades]

The Sandlot.

[tbach24]

I saw Chitty Chitty Bang Bang recently (w/ my 2 year old cousin) and it was solid. Sandlot, Gremlins, and Charlie & Chocolate Factory were all good.

Damn that movie was awesome.

If i had a dog as ugly as you, I'd shave his ass and teach him to walk backwards.

There's also Kuffs. Christian Slater was cool from like 1991 through midway of 1992.

haha, I used that as a fantasy baseball team name a few years ago.

My favorite movie was Super Fuzz, about a rookie cop who gets super powers by radiation. I haven't seen it in 20 years, but I must have watched it 50 times as a kid.

And no, I was not born when it came out in theaters.

[miajag81]

How has no one mentioned Ghostbusters yet?

[istewart]

How has nobody mentioned Home Alone yet?

[peachy]

I was too old for Home Alone to be a fav...Ghostbusters was though...good call!!

[Hermlord]

Alice in Wonderland -- not the Disney version. There was this like 4-hour live-action version that combined elements of Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. It was kinda dark, really bizarre (duh), and the Jabberwocky was just plain scary. I think it was made for TV, but I might be wrong.

And yeah, how'd it take so long to mention Star Wars?

Edit: Here we go (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088693/)

I love the backhanded complement about how Michael J. is much better here than he was in Back to the Future.

Karate Kid, I honestly though Mr. Miyagi was the toughest man alive. Gremilns was good too.

I loved this movie so much that when I was 4 I went for a week where I watched it about 5 times a day.

I really need to find a copy of it for nostalgia's sake.

[Reprocess]

The default was all the three star wars movies.

I like the dark crystal, return to oz as well as the labrynth. All semi dark fantasy, at least for kids movies but good. Oh, and obviously the princess bride.

But the best had to be The Never Ending Story. I can't believe no one has mentioned it besides peachy. They then proceeded to make sequels years later which were completely awful (and im not just saying that because i was much older, they were truly awful movies). I suggest everyone see that movie, a true '80's classic kids movie.

I bought it on DVD about a year ago when it was in the bargain bin for $4.99. Almost bought princess bride but that comes on tv every other day.

Still havent found flight of the navigator or batteries not included on dvd yet.

[touchfaith]

Starwars
Deep Throat

[Shajen]

Granted, I was 12, but Space Balls is the classic for me.

Revenge of the Nerds...wow, IMDB says they are remaking it too.

Slated to come out in 2006. This definitely has potential. Potential to rule or to suck.
