The Goonies

11 people recommended this item

Description

The Goonies is one of my favorite all-time movies! If you are a child of the 80s, then I don't have to say more... :-)

I think I became a fan of the pirates after seeing this movie (that was before the Pirates of the Caribbean came along!) I would definitely watch this film anytime whether it is around Halloween time or not. :-)

Ghostbusters

2 people recommended this item

Description

Ghostbusters is not your ordinary ghost movie. Some of the ghosts were funny and not at all scary, more like clowns. This movie should never be taken seriously. It's just good clean entertainment with a bit of the unusual. Very funny.

Clue

6 people recommended this item

Description

Clue is a dark comedy based on the board game of the same name. Six guests are invited to a strange house and must cooperate with the staff to solve a murder mystery. If you have not seen this film yet, then you would be surprised to see how three different endings turned out.

Also, sometime I feel like I am playing "Clue" (board game) from watching this movie. :-)

Return to Oz, Nicol Williamson, DVD - Barnes & Noble

First to recommend

Description

Even though I watched this movie as a kid - Return to Oz may be a bit too scary for young children. I consider this as a Halloween version of "The Wizard of the Oz."

This story is about Dorothy not able to sleep well after her return to Kansas from Oz, and kept talking about the places and people she met at the Oz. Her mother worries about her mental health, so she took her to see a psychiatrist. Somehow, Dorothy woke up being back in the Land of Oz and noticed that everything has changed in a worse way.

Garfield Holiday Celebrations DVD

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

Wow, this DVD has brought me back great memories! I haven't seen Garfield on TV in a long time especially around Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. I used to watch both Garfield and Snoopy during the holidays as a kid. Even though I still watch Snoopy on TV, I wonder why Garfield isn't on TV anymore. Garfield's movies are classics.

E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial

5 people recommended this item

Description

E.T. is a sweet, feel-good movie to watch around Halloween time. My earliest memory was when E.T. dressed up as a woman with a blonde wig on. Later on, he went as a ghost for Halloween when all he need to do is to be himself for Halloween.

Firestarter Two-Movie Collection, DVD - Barnes & Noble

First to recommend

Description

A couple who participated in a potent medical experiment gain telekinetic ability and then have a child who is pyrokinetic.

As a kid, I remembered seeing one of the scenes where Drew Barrymore created fire with her mind, but I didn't see the rest of the film until a few weeks ago. It was on Television and I found it to be interesting to watch. It was not that scary as I thought it would be. But I would definitely add this to my "Halloween movie list."

High Spirits, Daryl Hannah, DVD - Barnes & Noble

First to recommend

Description

This film is based on American man and his wife vacationing at one of the "most haunted castles" even though the owner (Peter O'Toole) was planning to pull all the pranks and acted like it was a haunted house. What did he know? There were actual real ghosts joining in for the fun. Later it turned out that the American man (Steve Guttenberg) fell in love with a ghost (Darryl Hannah) while her lover (Liam Neeson) fell for American man's wife (Beverly D'Angelo). It has a twist happy ending for everyone.
