3 Ninjas, one of my childhood favorites, was recently on TV. "Rocky loves Emily!" I always wanted that telephone thing Rocky used to communicate with her.

I was also a big fan of Problem Child and Problem Child 2. Okay, so these aren't good children's films, but I thought they were at the time.

These are just a few. What were your favorite movies more than 10 (20, 30, 40) years ago?

[PepsiAddict]

Those 2 were the bomb.

Is this the only movie to date with a Jamie Lee Curtis striptease?

I believe True Lies was the most expensive movie ever made at the time of its release.

Why? You want more? :confused:

Yup, until Titanic came around. You can count on James Cameron for being so pricey. :wave:

Of course. She is my moon goddess.

And Sally Kirkland too, of course.

I found the giant dandilions very intriguing.

Mufasa's death was intense.

Truly, the movies I watched in the early 90s both nurtured my propensity to have many nightmares and a wondrous, trippy and dreamy imagination that I remember to this day. I thank my late grandfather for loving me enough to tape record all these joyous moments in film whilst not understanding the English very well, so that I could watch them 1000 times each and add the words "dude" and "kowabanga" to my basic vocabulary and always beat up my little brother for lack of a better bad guy.

The Sandlot

The film is a flashback to 1962 when Scotty Smalls moves with his mother and stepfather to Los Angeles. The move gave Scotty very little time to make friends before summer. He happens to follow some of the neighborhood kids after school one day and sees them playing baseball. Scotty watches from a distance and is embarrassed when his uncoordinated attempt at throwing the baseball falls short. All the kids consider him a loser except for Benny Rodriguez, the best player on the team, who is a neighborhood star because of his speed. Benny asks Scotty to play with the team so they can have a full roster of nine players. Benny gets the rest of the crew to accept Scotty by having him hold his glove hand in the air, and hitting a fly ball right into Scotty's glove. Through some practice and tips from Benny, Scotty becomes an integral part of the team.

Through out the film, the gang has many misadventures, including getting into a face-off baseball game against an enemy Little League team, winning the game and celebrating by going to a fair and, after illegally chewing tobacco, throw up on some pedestrians while on a ride. On a hot day, the kids go swimming at the local pool, where Squints fakes a drowning in order to kiss a pretty girl (aptly dubbed Wendy Peffercorn) lifeguard he had a crush on. The gang also play only once a year at night, on the 4th of July.

Meanwhile, the team has to avoid hitting home runs in the sandlot because "The Beast", a huge English Mastiff, lives on the other side of the fence and it would be considered suicidal to attempt to retrieve the ball, because The Beast's penchant for eating boys is the stuff of neighborhood legends. One day, Benny hits the "guts" out of the ball, and he believes they can't play for the rest of the day because they don't have a ball. Scotty indicates he has a ball at home but is actually referring to his stepdad's Babe Ruth autographed ball. Scotty is entirely unaware of the Babe's fame and how priceless the ball is as he only recently learned how to play the game. Scotty takes the ball while his stepdad is on a business trip and brings it to the boys at the sandlot. The boys don't notice the signature and continue to play. Scotty himself hits the ball over The Beast's fence by hitting a home run. He suddenly realizes he shouldn't have stolen his stepdad's ball. The situation becomes far worse when the other boys indicate how priceless the ball is. The boys must figure out a way to get the ball back from The Beast without risking their lives, leading to a wild array of ideas.

Benny is able to retrieve the ball from The Beast's yard, but is chased all around the neighborhood by The Beast. Finally, The Beast is defeated when he chases Benny back into his yard and the fence falls on The Beast, trapping him. Scotty and Benny realize "The Beast" is a dog like any other and they lift the fence off their former foe, who thanks them with licks and reveals himself to be a very nice dog. They then return The Beast home to his owner Mr. Mertle (James Earl Jones) -- whom the boys fear almost as much as they feared The Beast. Mr. Mertle is no more a monster than his dog is, and he tells the boys if they'd just asked, he would have gotten the ball for them. The boys also learn that Mr. Mertle is a former professional baseball player who was blinded during a game, and that The Beast's real name is Hercules.

Unfortunately, the ball has already been destroyed by Hercules, but Mr. Mertle instead offers to "trade" Scotty for another ball -- signed by the entire 1927 New York Yankees World Series championship team. Scotty doesn't want to take something valuable from Mr. Mertle, so, knowing that, Mr. Mertle "trades" the autographed ball to Scotty, as long as he came to talk baseball with him once a week, as part of the deal. His stepdad grounds him for a week, but in the concluding voice over, Scotty says that things worked out between them.

The film then shows how all of the Sandlot kids one by one left the sandlot, growing up or moving away. Eventually, only Scotty is left at the sandlot.

In the end of the movie, when it comes to the present, Smalls is a radio commentator for the Los Angeles Dodgers, and Benny, Benny "The Jet" Rodriguez, is a star player -- in the twilight of his career, but steals home in the movie's final moment before flashing a thumbs-up at Smalls in the press box.

The film focuses on themes such as friendship, baseball, heroism, and responsibility.

I'd like to add something to this thread.

One of the main reasons why I enjoy movies so much, in general, is because of the memories. We owe so much to the movies we watch, particularly because they also make up most of the cliches in our lives. We get our image of a "bad guy" from the way they are portrayed in movies we saw from long ago.

What I greatly admire about movies is also the emotion. For example, I love Christmas because of the lights in my town and the overall feeling of a new year coming up. I owe most of these feelings to movies like Home Alone. All of you know exactly what I mean by mentioning that movie. You can hear the Christmas songs, you can see the lights on the trees, snow on the street, etc.

Childhood movies are the best; they stick around forever.

[Pazooki]

Yes, indeed.

These are good points. In many ways, movies influence our everyday actions and character. I always wonder how people acted back before movies were around to dramatize interaction.

[PepsiAddict]

I think childhood movies had more meaning & a real point.
Some of the movies these days are just pointless to put it in simple words.
