Time Bandits had John Cleese as Robin Hood! I don't remember too much else about this film, though--time to Netflix.
Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

Not just Robin Hood, but a slightly more realistic Robin Hood who stole from..... people with stuff, and gave to the....
Well, there really wasn't that second part, about the giving, so much.

Hey. New board.
The Neverending Story is totally awesome. And, yes, terrifying to wee ones. One of Wolfgang Petersen's better American works. Not that that's saying a lot.

I loved Mars Attacks. Any movie that starts with a running herd of flaming cattle has got to be great.
Emmett loves this movie too. It caused him to opine, "Violence is cool!"

Mmmm, one of my favorite movies of all time is now playing on TCM--Singin' in the Rain! Donald O'Connor is singing "Make 'Em Laugh" as I type this (a fun song, even if it is a complete ripoff of Porter's "Be a Clown").

I have a plan.
Anybody here like the Dark Crystal? Personally, I loved it and would watch it over any old Neverending Story any day of the week. Dog Dragon Dog or no.
