The Monster Squad


Submitted by Matt L

I could say alot about Monster Squad, a movie about Dracula resurrecting the great Universal Studios monsters to resume their reign of terror. But I think the most epic line in the movie probably does it better than I ever could.

“Ahh! Wolfman! Kick him in the nards!”
“Does the wolfman have nards?”
-Kick!-
“Whoa! The wolfman has nards!”

Pure. Win.

Explorers


Submitted by Steve H

From Wikipedia:

Explorers is a 1985 science fiction, fantasy film targeted at a family audience. It was the first feature film for both River Phoenix and Ethan Hawke. The third young actor in it was Jason Presson. The story was written by Eric Luke and the film was directed by Joe Dante.
It was filmed in 70mm color with 6-track sound, and runs for 109 minutes. The special effects in the movie were produced by Industrial Light & Magic.
The film did not do well at the box office, owing in large part to being released on the same weekend that the Live Aid concert occurred, although it did better in video rentals and DVD sales. It has gained a cult following among fans of Dante’s work, as well as science fiction fans and those who feel it is an overall family friendly movie.
