Adding to Some Great Collections

In the past couple years it’s happened a few times, where studios decide to add another installment to a collection.  In 2011 Wes Craven added Scream 4 to the anthology of the classic scary movies of the 90’s.  Just recently, in February of this year, they added another Die Hard movie to the collection.  And now in June of 2014 there will be a fourth addition to the Jurassic Park Collection with Jurassic Park IV.  Personally I will most likely have to see all of these additions because the originals are some of my favorite movies, but realistically when will it stop.  The first 3 Die Hard movies were the greatest and I thought the fourth was okay but even then they were pushing it.  Scream 4 however, was in fact a good addition to the collection with an amazing good cast of characters and plot twist, as usual.  I am curious to see what the fourth Jurassic Park movie will bring to the table.

Top 15 Kids Movies of the 90's

This is a list of the top movies that I grew up watching.

 

1.       Mrs. Doubtfire- who doesn’t love Robin Williams in general and even though pretty much every movie that he stars in is amazing this is one of his best.  Classic story line and great cast in this movie.  It’s a movie that will make you laugh and cry, but doesn’t let you down with a happy ending.

 

2.       Home Alone- “This is my house, I have to defend it.”  Who didn’t love this movie growing up?  A kid gets left behind when his family leaves on vacation and takes down two robbers with all kinds of cleverness and creativity. 

 

3.       Problem Child- Another great kid’s movie.  John Ritter is an amazing actor and the little kid in this movie is classic, although a little creepy now a days.   

 

4.       Hook- Great family movie altogether, another great Robin Williams movie.  Fun fact about this movie is that Glenn Close plays a small part in this movie and no one even realizes it.  If you know this movie she plays the man on the deck of the ship that gets put into the little box.

 

5.       Blank Check-One of my all-time favorite’s right here, who didn’t wish this, happened to them as a kid.  Get a bunch of money, buy a mansion, and fill it with cool toys and stuff. 

6.       3 Ninjas- I know after seeing this all I wanted to do was become a ninja.  This movie had all of the action and other cool stuff for kids growing up at this time frame.

7.       Space Jam- The Looney Tunes and Michael Jordan teaming up to make an amazing basketball movie. 

8.       Kindergarten Cop- This movie is amazing because it’s Arnold Schwarzenegger playing a kindergarten teacher and a cop at the same time.

9.       Rookie of the Year – This movie has a great cast and it’s about a kid who breaks his arm and gets a chance to play major league baseball, who doesn’t love a comeback story. 

10.   The Sandlot – “You’re killing me smalls.”  Greatest kid’s sports movie ever, great cast of kids and the story line of the entire movie is classic and extremely well thought out.

11.   Dennis the Menace – I loved this movie as a kid, the trouble maker who drives everyone on the street crazy.

12.   The Mighty Ducks - Emilio Estevez to Joshua Jackson great cast of characters.  The story of a team of screw ups who come out on top.

13.   It Takes Two – Everyone loves the Olsen Twins regardless of what they say.  This movie has the Olsen twins before they discovered drugs.  The story line is amazing and the characters are people everyone loves.

14.   The Little Giants – Another great kids’ sports movie that everyone loved when I was growing up.

15.   Liar Liar – One of Jim Carrey’s best, besides Ace Ventura, I’d say this is one of my favorites of his.
