I'm sitting here watching short circuit with my son as he's not seen it and it got me thinking what other films should I give him an education about?

"I'm sitting here watching short circuit with my son as he's not seen it and it got me thinking what other films should I give him an education about?"

Short circuit 2 is good too.

I'd recommend "remo williams" based on a comic book, really good fun.

The film is is Restless Natives

Really? Thanks for clearing that up "

Yes, me and my flat mate at the time had it on VHS tape and used to watch at least once a week for the best part of 2 years….

I can probably still recite the script off by heart to this day….. I still find it funny even now….

Too many good films from the 80s was a golden age, lot of nostalgia

Cheshire Liverpool Manchester

The NeverEnding Story

I did fast forward it past the part with the wolf though. Far too scary for me.

In addition to most of the above, Outland starring Sean Connery is underrated.
