[Shell Beau]

2. No but there are some big names in that one!!

[YellowRubberDuckie]

3. I recommend it, if you find it on TV...

You'll laugh, and not because it's a comedy. Also, It's two hours of your life you'll never get back. :evilgrin:

4. Are you kidding?

I'm still trying to get those damn hours back . .

Of course it's better than the hour and a half I lost to space pirates. ..

[YellowRubberDuckie]

5. LOL...

Hey, we shouldn't be the only ones to have suffered. :evilgrin:

8. My god, I've seen all three mentioned so far...I'm really losing hours I'll never get back..

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

36. That came on TV this past weekend.

[Ekirh]

6. Hells yes!!!!

I loved that. . . .

That. . . Labriynth and The Princess Bride . . . use to be the "trio" of 80's movies you had to watch to be considered part of our "group" :P .. . you were allowed to substitute The Last Unicorn in for any one of those three. . .

[Shell Beau]

9. I am glad I am not the only one! I have one friend that remembers

it also! It was great. And I own the other 2 you mentioned! Great 80's movies!!!

[YellowRubberDuckie]

10. Labriynth was awesome.

David Bowie, Muppets and Jennifer Connelly. Fucking Amazing. It's one of my all time favorites. Brings back fun memories.

12. Another Jim Henson classic! He was so brilliant!

Of course I am not biased that he went to school with my mom and grew up right down the road from where I was raised!!! ;)

[YellowRubberDuckie]

13. I was like 10 when he died...

And I bawled. It was like losing a friend. I was crushed.

14. I know. I was young too! My mom was younger than he too, they

were just in the same school at the same time. I LOVED Fraggle Rock! It was great!!!

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

37. I LOVED Fraggle Rock.

[fizzgig]

7. it's my favorite movie evah

<----- see my avatar

i watch this movie at least once a month

[Shell Beau]

11. Ahhh!! I haven't seen it since I was little! I need to get it and re-watch it.

I just recently bought Emmitt Otter's Jug Band Christmas and wondered why I loved it so as a kid. I hope The Dark Crystal is different. Jim Henson, though, was genius!

[Lethe]

15. Skeksis!!

That movie rocked! (it scared me when i was a kid...and so did The Secret of NIMH)\

(for fun type in "skexis" into google image search *explicit*)

[NewWaveChick1981]

16. I looked like Kira the Gelfling when I had my wisdom teeth out right about the time

that movie came out. :yoiks: Thank goodness that only lasted a couple of days...

[mainegreen]

17. With much joy, in fact! n/t

[LeftyMom]

18. If we're making a list of weird/bad 80's kids movies, and it looks like we are

It's really not complete without Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend, and of course, Howard the Duck.

[Shell Beau]

20. I remember Howard the Duck, unfortunately, but don't remember the other.

Howard the Duck was bad enough!!!!!

[LeftyMom]

24. Let's just say effects have come a long way.

19. Do you remember 'Krull' though?

:rofl:

[Shell Beau]

21. Eek!! No!! Thank God!! What about The Neverending Story?

I loved that one!!

[mainegreen]

25. The first was good, but Neverending story 2 & 3 were terrible.

Just awful! They truly were never ending!

:rofl:

[Shell Beau]

29. I never saw 2 and 3!! Thank God!!

[proud patriot]

23. Yep , I remember that one

[stuntcat]

27. one of my FAVES

I still watch it once in a while, I love how real it is without any computer animation.
And Brian Froud designed most of it, I love all his art.

[zonkers]

28. I remember when it came out. Didn't see it. What about it? Or is this like that

old Chris Farley bit -- remeber?

I do remember Secret of Nimh -- another fantasy thingie.

[Shell Beau]

31. Chris Farley and remember when with Paul McCartney...

Chris Farley: Um, hi. Welcome to The Chris Farley Show. I'm.. Chris Farley.. and, my guest tonight is.. one of the.. greatest musicians.. uh, rock musicians. I guess, songwriter, ever. < Smacks himself > GOD! That sounds stupid! God, I'm an idiot! I never know how to start these things!

Paul McCartney: You're doing great, Chris.

Chris Farley: < hopeful > Really? No, I'm not. < hyperventilating > Anyway.. I guess.. I didn't have, have to say, who you were, because.. man, I mean.. everyone knows who you are. Mmm.. you're Paul McCartney.

Paul McCartney: Well, it's great to be here.

Chris Farley: < uncomfortable > You.. you.. you remember when you were with The Beatles?

Paul McCartney: Yeah, sure.

Chris Farley: That was awesome!

Paul McCartney: Yeah, it was.

Chris Farley: O-kay.. Oh! You.. you remember when you went to Japan.. and, uh, and at the airport they arrested you 'cause you had some pot, and.. it made all the papers, and everything..?

Paul McCartney: Well, to be honest, Chris, I'd kind of like to forget all of that.

Chris Farley: < smacks himself harder > IDIOT!! That's so stupid! What a dumb question!!

Paul McCartney: No, no, no, Chris. I get asked that all the time in interviews. Maria Shriver asked the same question last week.

Chris Farley: Really? < pause > Did you know that she's married to Arnold Schwartzenegger?

Paul McCartney: Yeah. I've heard that.

Chris Farley: Did you see "Terminator"?

Paul McCartney: No, I missed that one.

Chris Farley: That was a pretty awesome flick. < pause > O-kay.. remember.. you remember when you were with The Beatles, and you were supposed to be dead, and, uh, there was all these clues, that, like, uh, you played some song backwards, and it'd say, like, "Paul Is Dead", and, uh, everyone thought that you were dead? That was, um, a hoax, right?

Paul McCartney: Yeah. I wasn't really dead.

Chris Farley: Right. I think we.. I think we got time for one more question. Uh.. remember when you were in The Beatles? And, um, you did that album Abbey Road, and at the very end of the song, it would.. the song goes, "And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make"? You.. you remember that?

Paul McCartney: Yes.

Chris Farley: Uh.. is that true?

Paul McCartney: Yes, Chris. In my experience, it is. I find, the more you give, the more you get.

Chris Farley < ecstatic, starts to point at Paul and mouth "AWESOME!" > Well, that's it for this week's show. Thank you, Paul McCartney, thank you, for being one of the greatest.. of rock.. I mean, a living legend. And uh, a legend of rock and roll.. and.. just thanks for being on the show, and.. < smacks himself even harder > GOD DANGIT! That sounded stupid! I knew I'd screw up!

Paul McCartney: You did fine, you did fine, Chris.

Chris Farley: Really? Thanks, man. Thanks. Thank you. < Outro music comes on, Chris continues to talk to Paul > Remember.. remember when I was talking to you about "The Terminator"? You.. you should see that movie, it's pretty cool..

< Paul nods his head >

:rofl:

[zonkers]

32. Ya'kiillin me! Boo hoo, I miss Chris.

[Broken_Hero]

33. yeah, that and Labyrinth....nt

[GoddessOfGuinness]

34. Jen: Wings? I don't have wings!

Kira: Of course not. You're a boy. :-)

[AmyDeLune]

35. Yes! and There is a sequel in the works!!!

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0460907/

This isn't a joke, they're really working on it. Unknown whether it will hit theatres or go straight to video, but it is Henson production with Brian Froud art/design. :D
