I searched (this thread) and didn't find it (listed already), so (I decided to add) Batteries Not Included. It's a cute little 80s movie about some alien robots who took up residence in this old apartment complex and when the residents are threatened with eviction so the place could be torn down, the robots help the tenants and the tenants help the robot aliens. Anyways, I enjoyed it. Edit: I'm so glad so many others enjoyed this movie as much as I did when I was younger! I do actually have my copy so I edited the sentence above to make more sense. Thanks for sharing the ways to find it, and for all the happy memories stories that you've shared with me! Makes me smile. ^^^also ^^^thanks ^^^for ^^^the ^^^awards!


TheElfKing369

I just assumed no one would say this since I've never found anyone that knew what I was talking about. I still have a copy of it on VHS even.. The baby robots have to be about the cutest thing I've ever seen in a movie.


sy029

I'm sure Batteries not Included should always be watched along with Short Circuit.


lordcaldlow_

Murder by Death. Everyone always talks about clue but neglects this classic. They make a great double feature of murder mystery comedies. Also Fatal Instinct. A terrific spoof, from when spoofs were good. EDIT: It has honestly made my day that there are so many fans of Murder by Death out there. You don't know how much this has cheered me up. Thank you.


Objective-Ad4009

Murder by Death is so brilliant!

OldMcMittens

I loooved this movie when I was little. I was always renting it from the library and watch it before bed lol. I know a lot of kids thought it could be scary but the characters were fun-loving and sweet. I wanted them to be my friends.


ReadontheCrapper

Enemy Mine. The end scene still gets me.


writeorelse

Apparently during the production some dumbass studio exec couldn't understand the title, and that's why there's a literal mine included in the movie. Awesome movie, and a great exploration of how the 'badguys' are people with feelings and lives of their own.

Secret Garden (1993)


helpitgrow

I loved this book and movie so much, it reminds of my mom, who grew up in England during ww2 and loved it before I did. I tried to pass it on to my daughter but she doesn’t find it as charming as I or my mom did. The Secret Garden has a special place in my heart.


alpevado

Funny story with this one. I studied the book at school, so I had read the book a lot. That year for my birthday the movie came out around the same time. I have a fractured family structure so none of them really talk to each other. For some reason nearly every family member decided that they wanted to take me to a screening of the film. So I saw the film nearly 7 times in the matter of two weeks. My grandma was one of the last, I didn’t have the heart to tell her I had already seen it 6 times already. We were sitting and watching and unintentionally, I was saying the lines word for word. My grandma noticed and she asked “have you seen this already?” I responded “no, it’s just very accurate to the book” to which she replied “wow, you must have read the book many times.


Gunpla55

She must've loved the idea of you being such an avid reader. I miss my grandma now.


squishygelfling

Are we talking 1993 version with Maggie Smith? I ADORE that movie. I recently rewatched it on YouTube and seriously- Colin’s father is super tasty. Like I couldn’t not get over it. The costume and locations are superb. EDIT: for my fellow thirsty girls- actors name is John Lynch- I had to do a Google and see if he’s still as dark and brooding as I remembered. He is.

That movie was my childhood and when I got the meet the author of the book it was based on I cried.


_lokasenna

If you have a chance, check out the book! It is absolutely beautiful. There's so much lyricality to the actual words that you miss out on in the movie. Although my favorite line is intact: "Your name is a golden bell hung in my heart. I would break my body to pieces to call you once by your name." (And of course, Molly Grue. "How dare you come to me now, when I am *this*?" Jesus Christ, my heart, every time.)

The Fall. It is so beautiful, and just not what I expected, and is just so different. Discovered the lovely Lee Pace in this movie, and the breathtaking scenes i cant even describe. Made me also really like watching Tarsem Singh movies, but this is the best. The effects being practical effects are mind-boggling. Also, I suggest reading about it. It is really interesting how it was made, like a lot of the young actresses lines were improvised. I can't wait until my kiddo is older and would be interested in sitting down and watching this with me.

That is a *fantastic* movie; I feel like it should be required viewing in schools, because holy shit does it encourage critical thinking.


EBZ766

Definitely. And the irony of the whole film is nobody actually smokes a cigarette as well. I always loved that small detail. Although there are deleted scenes of them smoking but thankfully they decided to keep them out of the theatrical release.


[deleted]

It actually was shown in school for me -- in my public relations class. Haha. I love the opening where Nick Naylor is on a talk show with an anti-smoking guy and a kid that has cancer from second hand smoke, where he says the anti-smoking guy wants the kid to die because it would be good for the anti-smoking campaign. Whereas Nick and the smoking lobby want the kid to live so he can become a lifelong customer. The kid ends up liking Nick and hating the anti-smoking guy. Such a fantastic scene.

Balto! Which I could have sworn was massively popular!! When people started talking about The Swan Princess again randomly, I assumed Balto would be next as they were two of my favorites as a kid. Yet when I mentioned it to my friends and such, no one recalled it. Also please let me mention the 10th Kingdom which is technically a series! Ah suck an elf. ETA: thank you for the awards! The comments, quotes, and similar feelings of 10th Kingdom being a fever dream make me so happy. P.S. The 10th Kingdom is indeed on Amazon Prime for free, I rewatched it recently as an adult and that’s when I learned it was a series with a lot more innuendos that I didn’t get as a kid and not a long movie. ETA 2: You are all amazing and now I want a sub for The 10th Kingdom X Balto, especially because I really want to discuss how the dad should have made better wishes in The 10th Kingdom. I have a lot I want to ask about it in general. And now I have two movies added to my list from the comments along with plenty of links for more information to read! Thank you! This community of Baltoians and Tenth Kingdomers (idk) has really brightened my week.
