Just saw Gremlins 1 and 2

[jerishow]

This is one of the few movies that actually lived up to all the hype.

It's more then 20 years later and these movies have aged fantastically well. I'm big on good graphics and I hate watching old movies.... But these were just awesome.

The 2nd one IMO is better then the 1st one as a gigantic spoof of the first. The 1st one really dragged at the beginning(Although, I was just waiting for the gremlins to show up constantly)

I had to rewind the 1st Gremlins one when the girl said that her dad broke his friggin neck in the movie. It made absolutely no sense and I was confused for a good 10 minutes. When the 2nd one spoofed it with the Abe Lincoln story I laughed my ass off.

The Gremlins were amazing though. I am keeping the movie on my computer just to rewatch the bar scene in Gremlins 1 and all the craziness of Gremlins 2.

Also, any other great movie suggestions?

I make sure I watch Gremlins every year leading to Christmas.

My movie suggestion?

Short Circuit for one the Gute's finest roles

I hate Gremlins 2. I wanna punch anyone who thinks its better than the first one.

[Paco]

Guess you'll have to punch director of both films Joe Dante.

I met him last year at a screening of Gremlins in L.A.
He enjoys the second one much more.

[Goldenbane]

I also like Gremlins 2 more. I'm not afraid of it like I am of Gremlins 1. The Gremlins are much more comical...and just not as outright scary looking as they were in the original.

Ugh...I still hate Gremlins in general though!!

Gremlins 2 had all the wacky genetic mutation. Vegetable Gremlin rocked.

[Mozenrath]

Is it wrong Phoebe Cate's story about her dad in the film makes me laugh?

Man, I don't get why she wasn't in more stuff. In this and Ridgemont High(Helps my name is Brad), she's stunning.

[Sir Woodrow]

It's criminal Phoebe Cates isn't more stuff Kevin Kline is a lucky bastard.

I definitely prefer Gremlins to Gremlins 2. I love how it starts out looking like some cutesy Hallmark Christmas movie, then just goes completely nuts. It was edgier than the second, and I liked that. When the Futterman's are run down with the snowplow, you're just stuck between laughing and being horrified.

I definitely enjoyed the second, though. I just liked the Gremlins with a little more "bite" to them, so to speak.

[Shockmaster's Son]

Gremlins 2 is automatically better than the first movie for one very important reason: it has HULK HOGAN, brother!!

This is why the movie grossed over a billion dollars domestic and earned 3 Academy Awards, dude.

I never got round to seeing the 2nd one but the 1st is fantastic, one of the funniest films and just plain fun films Ive ever seen. Scared me as a kid though.

[KingPopper]

The New Batch > Gremlins. Gremlins is a great movie, but Gremlins 2 blows it out of the water. I'm still waiting for a 3rd one.

[bubbles]

I like Gremlins 2 better, it's just completely insanse and it's got Slayer and Hulk Hogan. First one is great as well though.

[Dean-o]

I loved Gremlins 2. Every scene had at least 1 parody to laugh at, I also liked all the different types of Gremlins.

Not at all, it's so over the top it's hilarious. You spend the movie assuming that maybe her dad died in a car wreck on Christmas Eve. You certainly aren't expecting to hear... well, you know.

[Dave at the Movies]

I don't think I ever watched the second one. I should check it out.

His name was Brain and he was voiced by Tony Randall so score another for Gremlins 2.

[Jiren]

I prefer Gremlins 2 because it's just so much fun.

Daniel Clamp is hillarious
