Hey I remember watching a movie that was about some kids that turned a tilt-a-whorl ride thing into a space ship, anyone know the name of it?

Also I really liked watch some cartoon about what I think is a super hero bear maybe with a jet pack, any ideas?

Yeah, I remember, it was a group of genious kids or something, I think. I forgot the name, but I know what you're talking about.

EXPLORERS is a GREAT flick! (As is THE LAST STARFIGHTER.) I was SO excited the day that EXPLORERS came out on DVD. And it was so cheap! Think I might pop that in tonight.

Hearing THE CAR (good flick as well), it made me think of THE HAND. Anyone see that one? With Michael Caine? Directed by Oliver Stone. I remember when I was a kid and I was spending the night at my Grandparents' house and there was a THE HAND and MAGIC (Anthony Hopkins ventriloquist flick...creepy as hell) double feature on THE MOVIE CHANNEL. I think Joe Bob was hosting. It freaked the hell out of me. Couldn't sleep all night thinking that a hand was under my bed and a puppet was in my closet. LOL!

A long time ago in the faraway galaxy...

Explorers was great when I first watched it, when I was something like 7 or 8 years old... I watched it again about an year ago, and it was kinda crappy...

It falls down when they dock with the alien ship and the aliens are TV addicts. It was one of those films with a good build up to a lame 'where do we go now?' ending.

War does not make one great.

Nah, when that 12 year old kid came up with a freaking flying indestructive bubble with his early 80s PC, which aparently has the power to create perfect matter out of thin air, it fell apart.No suspension of disbelief can hold that one up.
