Once in a while, I'll come across a movie that I would watch as a child and think "I've got to watch this right now!" I remember one time in college, where I decided to watch The Brave Little Toaster, a favorite in my house when I was little, in a double billing with Pulp Fiction. As an adult watching TBLT, I can honestly say that it was more terrifying than Tarrantino's classic film. It was just plain weird and surprisingly dark. I wonder what my parents thought when we requested to rent the movie over and over again as children?
I guess everyone has the urge to watch their favorite childhood movies, because one day Clint found a copy of the Buttercream Gang and insisted that we purchase it and watch it. The movie is about a local "gang" of boys that does good deeds in the community. One of the boys moves away to Chicago and there joins a real gang. He returns to his hometown and starts doing bad gang things like stealing pies from the grocery store. The good gang stands up to the bad gang and eventually the bad gang boy returns to Chicago to amend his ways. The fashions are early-nineties and the content is the most g-rated stuff I've ever seen. After watching it once (or maybe twice), we're totally ready to part with the movie.
Next up in the nostalgia movie list: Rockadoodle! or maybe Ernest Goes to Camp.
