Obscure movie quotes are a bit of a fetish. So are mainstream movie quotes. I'm not sure why I love quoting movies so much....hmmmm. Anyway, rent/stream these when you have a free night to be pleasantly entertained.
1. It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963)
Cast of epic, comedic proportions. Outrageously long (clocks close to 3 and a half hours, it even has an intermission) but just as outrageously funny. Bonuses: Delightful sound track, lots of physical comedy.
2. The Chipmunk Adventure (1987)
Yes, this is an animated movie about Alvin and the Chipmunks. But it is sooo much better than those weird CGI ones that have recently been released. Bonuses: catchy music numbers performed by both the Chipmunks and the Chipettes, a hilarious Eastern European brother/sister act.
3. Flight of the Navigator (1986)
Before "Sex in the City," Sarah Jessica Parker played a rocker, nurse-like chick helping a young boy who has time traveled with an alien robot. Bonuses: funny boy/robot shenanigans, 80s fashion and music.
4. Spellbound (2002)
Before you say "boo" to a documentary (I'm just assuming you are all cooler than me because I usually say "yea" to documentaries) this one will have you mesmerized by the wonderful world of competitive spelling. Just trust me. Bonuses: You could learn how to spell some new words, you could feel a lot better about your awkward middle school years.
All of these are family friendly, the only one that isn't rated "G" is the Flight of the Navigator — it's PG. You know SJP, always a little sassy.
