Gremlins is a whee of a film (if you don't mind the occasional gross-out) from producer Steven Spielberg, writer Chris Columbus, and director Joe Dante. Zach Galligan is the young man whose inventor father (Hoyt Axton) gives him an odd Christmas present: a tiny, furry creature that comes with a set of rules: don't get him wet, don't feed him after midnight, and keep him away from direct sunlight. But Galligan breaks the first rule and the damp little critter pops out a dozen little offspring. Then the offspring break the second rule and, overnight, turn from cute furry guys to malevolent scaly guys with world domination on their mind. The only way to stop them: rule three. But it's an anxious (and extremely funny) battle to make it to daylight--and the bad gremlins find ways to multiply over and over. Great special effects and a gruesome sense of humor make this a wild (if occasionally dark and scary) ride. --Marshall Fine

I hadn't seen this since I was a kid. What a fun movie! It felt awesome to step back into 1984.

This had the perfect mix of comedy and horror. A great offset to most feel-good christmas movies.

I just found out Phoebe Cates is married to Kevin Kline. Apparently she runs a boutique in NY.

This was one of the films responsible for the creation of the PG-13 rating, which was put in place two months after this film's release.

Really? That's the third thing she's most famous for, coming in behind her modeling career and the absolutely stunning fantasy strip scene in Fast Times at Ridgemont High. They have one of the more longer running Hollywood marriages. I didn't know about the boutique.

It's a great horror/comedy/holiday film.

At work we had to fill out a bio so others could know us a little better. One person had to start it and then send it to another. etc. and include all of our department on it. No one really liked the idea and most of us were certain that no one even read them. I listed in mine that we have "...no kids, but plenty of pets. We have two dogs, two cats, six turtles, and a Mogwai." No one called me on it.

I've seen this many times since I saw it in theaters as a teen.

Michael Winslow (of Police Academy fame) did the voices for both Mogwai and the Gremlins.

I'd still love to see the rough cut of this - it was 2 hours and 40 minutes.

A holiday horror comedy classic. Hits all the right notes on all three genres. Just a twisted bit of holiday fun that almost NO ONE seems to list when people talk about their favorite Christmas movies.
