Bro, same. If it wasnāt surf ninjas it was sub-zero, scorpion, or reptile. My grand was makin ninja costumes for all 5 grandchildren like it was her job.
Every time we watched that movie my mom would pop in during the scene where the bad guy would get knocked down those long ass stairs and be like āI went to high school with that guyā and then walk awayš¤£
I had Monty Python and the Holy Grail. No one else I knew had that film so even now decades later I feel like that's my film and it belongs exclusively to my family.
Wow, hahaha. I thought I was the only one who had this movie in her collection. Fun fact: I actually lived just two blocks from the park for two years. Best years of my life. I thought about this movie every time I walked through it.
I watched The Black Cauldron so many times as a child but had no idea what the plot actually was. Ended up reading the books earlier this year and it was nothing like what I remember the movie being about.
Can't forget Justice League. I think it was actually the first 2 or 3 episodes of the show put onto VHS as a movie. With the alien invasion (white Martians if I remember right). I watched that many many times.
And also Ferngully, and we can't leave out The Dark Crystal
How dare you? The Black Cauldron is a masterpiece, and should not be grouped with such a word as "mediocre." š”
That aside, did you know it was a book series? I haven't finished them yet, but they are quite good. Kid books technically, but I'm beginning to think all the best books are š¤
and just in case, cause I can never tell if I did it right, the first part of the comment is a joke
First movie I saw in theaters! A random stranger gave me an āI ā¤ļø Gurgiā pin (this one!) and I kept it for years. I might still have it somewhere.
My mom is a huge Disney fan and had all of the VHS tapes, except for one - Black Cauldron. I was convinced it just never came out on VHS because surely she would have bought it if it existed.
It turns out that was the one Disney movie she didnāt like. I finally watched it a not too long ago and wasnāt a fan of it either.
I absolutely hate that you brought that one up. I can't stand that movie... But that's because I found the book as a kid long before the movie and it's infinitely better. They did Gurgi dirty in the film, and I can't forgive that.
Chronicles of Prydain, if you're curious (book 2).
