One of my favorite movies period. But also one of the best damn Christmas movies ever. I try to watch it every year, and it still never disappoints. Sure some of the effects are dated, but it doesn't stop the whole thing from being mischievous, looney toons fun.

Great movie, delighted that I introduced my kids to it, (9 and 10 year old) I wouldn't let much younger kids watch but your choice!

I remember watching this as a teenager and loved it. My 18yr old son wanted to watch it this evening as he’d never seen it. I remember it as more as a comedy, but I suppose it’s not really, but it is comical lol. Truly a dated film now, which added to the comical value. I kind of wished I’d not watched it again, it’s spoilt my blurred memories of it. But, we still had a good laugh and enjoyed it.

[4.7/10] Different movies can offer different things, and that’s okay. Movies focused on visuals or pure plot machinery, aren’t my cup of tea, but I’ve come to appreciate them for what they are, or at least accept that they can be great, even if their particular brand of greatness doesn't More

_**Cute creatures morph into hellions during Christmas**_

A traveling inventor (Hoyt Axton) brings home a cute animal he bought at a shop in Chinatown for a Christmas gift, but the rules for the animal’s care are broken and all hell breaks loose. Zach Galligan plays the son and Phoebe Cates his More

Weirdly, it's one of my favourite Christmas movies!
It was heartwarming, a little scary and outright amusing. It's one of those films where the bad guys still the show.

Also, is it me or does the girl look a little like adult star Ava Dalush?!

Anyway, what I'm saying is, Gremlins is another c More

Overall, movie was strange. It did have a few suspenseful moments, but overall want that great of a horror film. And I definitely wouldn't call it a comedy. Based on all the hype it has had I wasn't that impressed.
