You know - the kind of movie that draws your pathetic childhood out in stark contrast. The kind of movie that makes you wish your parents would leave you alone seemingly for days on end so that you could delve deep into the ancient mysteries of your neighborhood.
"Stand By Me" constantly reminds me that never in my life have I had friends that would walk through the night with me to poke a dead body with a stick. "My Neighbor Totoro" is a woefully under-appreciated film in the United States. I often linger at bus stops in the rain due to this film... "The Sandlot" was one of those films that made even a fat little bastard like me wish I had enough friends to play a little ball with. "The Witches" features children that not only slip away for adventures but also get transformed into vermin! Now what's not to like about that? And the quintessential film of this genre: "The Goonies" redefined childcare, introduced to the concept of "the little girls cave" and finally made us all appreciate deformed, retarded giants for the heroes they are. Come on, everybody: do the Truffle Shuffle!
