Ghostbusters 2 (1989): Not as great as the first, suffering from the old sequelitis, but one–liners still honestly delivered from the same classic cast.; Blu-Ray $19.95
Ghostbusters (1984): A wonderful comedy/horror/fantasy film with a great (now classic) cast, a themesong that will never be forgotten, and some incredible visual effects for the 1980s.
Gremlins (1984): Sweet and devilishly mischievous, the Gremlins are a brilliant design and very well animated for the 1980s, in this family 'horror' like no other. Except possibly Ghost Busters.
Child's Play (1988): The very concept of Child's Play in the late 80s was enough to give parents and censors a panic–attack, with a sweet cabbage–patch doll turning demonic killer. A horrifying concept, if looking a little dated in the 2000s.
Toy Story (1995): An absolutely wonderful tale and one of animation's greats, with stunning visuals and an all–star voice cast. To infinity, and beyond!
To Kill a Mockingbird (1962): An incredible book by Harper Lee, this film adaptation is possibly as close to perfect as could be directed. Gregory Peck is brilliant, and Mulligan deserves recognition for; DVD ~~$15~~ $11.25
Nightmare Before Christmas, The (1993): Very Burton: dark and gothic, yet irresistibly charming. A Christmas must–see for all the family.
E.T. (E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial) (1982): A touching tale of friendship and loyalty, this is a must–see for all the family. Despite first appearances, ET is irresistibly lovable.
Alice in Wonderland (1951): Possibly the best ever screen adaptation of the Carroll classic, this animation is stunning in both story and visuals. Highlights include Alice slipping down the rabbit–hole, and later meeting the Cheshire cat.
Hunchback of Notre Dame, The (1996): Another great Disney title in the 1990s range, this has all the sentiments we've come to expect, providing real moral and emotion along with the laughs.
