Looking for a certain type of film

[Las Naranjas]

I second Esseb's noting of Future Boy Conan which also segues into Miyazakis later work where I also feel I should mention that the title Nausicaa and Warriors of the Wind aren't quite interchangable, insofar that the latter is some 30-40 minutes short and with drastically rewritten dialogue. Whilst it's gorgeous and wonderful and all, it's remarkably one of his worst films.

I also second the recommendation of Watership Down, it's about 10 minutes shorter than it should be, but it has gorgeous stuff in it.

And also, I know of two sequels to NIMH, another one after Rasco...and I can't remember the plot much at all.

Oh my god... I dind't think ANYONE but me remembered the Mr Boogidy movies!Ã,  Those were great.

Short Circuit... LOVE IT.

Oh oh... remember another Wonderful World of Disney movie... Not Quite Human?Ã,  There were a couple, and they were so fun.

We're the same age, Potch.  It was our era, I suppose.

Yep, I also well remember watching the Wonderful World of Disney movies.. Sunday evenings, I believe.  Mr. Boogedy.. I think they showed Harry and the Hendersons a few times, Short Circuit...  sometimes those older ones.. what was the series? Return to Witch Mountain or something? I don't know why I can look back on those shows with fondness yet despise so much current kids' programming.  Maybe it's this whole Something Must Happen Every 3 Seconds to appease short attention spans thing.

I definitely agree with all the movies on this list so far... But why has no one mentioned the first two live action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movies (Hero Turtle in the UK)? Those were cheesy, and definitely, at least for me, have that same effect as all the other movies in this topic.

Oh, and here's a bit of a stretch, but the movie Innerspace. It has the "80s adventure" feel, and I always used to love to watch it as a kid (Though most of the jokes and some of the plot went right over my head).

Ahhhh, I loved the TNMT movies. It was the only time in my life I called one of those expensive lines to hear the Vanilla Ice song ^_^

Innerspace isnt a stretch.

It was a really gripping story about men shrinking themselves down and being injected into Martin Short.  The movie was awesome.  It probably made me think about biology more than any other movie or media.

Innerspace... LOVE it.  I know, I say that about most of the movies mentioned... I'm a movie junky. 

On the subject of cheesey 80s movies... this one is kind of girlie (ok, it's really girlie) but any of you ever seen Girl's Just Want to have fun?  It's got Sarah Jessica Parker and Helen Hunt.  One of my favorite 80s movies.
