i just remembered a movie i used to watch when i was alittle kid.
Disneys "Flight Of The Navigator"
anyone remember this movie? the kid slips and gets knocked unconcious in the woods. When he wakes up, he goes home... but its 8 years later, and his family has moved. But then he is reunited with them, but they are all 8 years older, and he has remained the same. So the government finds out, and does all these tests. And then he finds out a space craft hadpicked him up... and the spacecraft has a computor named max that navigates the ship etcetcetc.
I dont know what made me think of it, and i had to look online before i remembered the name and exact story...but now i feel like watching it. hahah
ah, i love memories from childhood, they dont seem to come that often for me... :(

whoa. well, i never saw flight of the navigator, but your note made me think of a couple other things.
disney made a movie called the black hole, which gave me a really eerie feeling as a kid - this kid and his trashy little robot are alone on this huge spacecraft that looks like the eiffel tower on its side after a nuclear attack. then there's this mad scientist and his evil machine (and i think its name is maximillian).
then the other part of your message about the boy coming home to an abandoned house made me think of time bandits, which i always appreciated because they end that film and the kid's completely fucked, and nobody cares.
well, that was fun... i've never seen it, but i've had a couple of people tell me that disney's watcher in the wood scared the F out of them.

yeah I remeber the Flight of the Navigator.. I thought the computers voice was very cool UNTIL it changes into a wacky kind of voice.. pff..
I also remember The Black Hole - creeped the hell out of me, especially the large robot (indeed Maximillian). I even had Black Hole-dolls.. I saw it again 2 years ago and its pretty crap.. :)
I must agree with Jarworski - Explorers is the shits. really good film, very funny, very good special effects.. YEAH!

Anyone seen 'the last starfighter'? A kid plays starfighter on an arcade machine, and he beats the highscores. Suddenly he gets picked up by aliens to join in an interstellar batlle.

I'm a MAJOR nostalgia freak!
I keep every magazine/comic/book I've ever had, every action figure, every movie. I just burnt the entire Transformers cartoon series on to 10 CDs. I have thousands of ROMS of games that meant SO much to me when I was but a teeny tiny lad. I'm desperately clinging to my past.

Movies today are just. Identityless. Dont know what to call it, but they will never make an impact like the movies from the 70s and 80s. Dont get me wrong. When I go to the cinama nowadays, I expect a cool movie. But mostly they are cool because of the SFX. When I rent an old 80's movie, they are just so much cooler. Better story, less FX.
To live and die in LA for example. Nice movie! not to mention all that weird SF and horror they made in the 80s.
