Written By: JamieMcBain on 11/27/05 at 1:39 pm

Who here has seen Gremlins?  I like this film alot, part two is not bad either, but the first one is better.

I loved Gremlins.  Haven't seen it in years though

Did you know Canada's own Howie Mandel was the voice of Gizmo :)

I learned something too, Michael Winslow from the Police Academy series does the voice of one of the Gremlins.

My favorite Gremlin is Stripe!

Gizmo is pretty cool too.

I would call it a "surprise" movie because I thought it was going to suck and I was surprised how much I liked it. Yeah, the first one was better than the sequal but with the second, I loved Tony Randel. He was great.

I've seen it, thought it was funny...though don't think it was intended to be a comedy

Depending on what kinds of films your family watches, this could be a family film.  Heck, when I was a kid, a Family Film my family would watch was usually a film with lots of violence  ;D

I loved the original Gremlins as a kid... I had several toy Gizmos and I collected all of the stickers that came with packets of gum! I made my parents take me three or four times to the movies to see it... I'm sure they were sick to death of the movie by then!  ;D

I've still got my original stuffed Gizmo from the '80s. I wanted to get one of those Furby-like ones they made a couple years ago, but I never actually saw any or found out how much they cost.

Whenever my cats want to get fed, I can still hear the little voices screaming "Yum-yum! Yum-yum! YUM-YUM!!!"

oo! you haven't lived until you see the gremlins knockoff "hobgoblins."

it's... it's... well, unbelievably awful, actually. possibly the most embarrassingly atrocious movie ever made.

AMC Gremlins rock though.

I think i saw critters -- which was marginal -- and troll -- which was awful; full moon video movie, isn't that? all full moon movies are awful -- but i guarantee all those movies are better than hobgoblins. everyone associated with hobgoblins should be detained as an enemy combatant.

There is no single word to describe the film, Troll.  ::)  ;D

The best of the knock off's was Critters.  I actually didn't mind it, but the sequels that followed were kind of pointless

As in Leonardo DiCaprio wants to forget about Critters 3 pointless?  ;D
