I cried 21 years ago when I first saw this movie, and I cried 5 years ago when I saw it again. I wonder what will happen if I watch it now? This movie set my imagination of fire. And how apropos considering all the bigfoot hooplah recently. This movie is another example of the stellar kids and family films that came out of the 80's. When I have kids, this is definately one they'll be watching.

This, the heart-wrenching comedy/drama, tells the brilliant and classic story of the Hendersons and what happens when they take a Sasquatch named Harry under their wing
