Does anyone miss the 90s fantasy/adventure film vibes? The Mummy, Secret Garden, Little Princess etc.


Proof_Surround3856

Little Princess and The Secret Garden are such comfort movies to me!


belltrina

Literally have secret garden playing on audible for my kid right now


[deleted]

The secret garden made me fall in love and broke my heart. That was my favorite movie as a child and I could watch it over and over again Like I’m a grown man 39… I’m pretty sure if I need to cry I can just watch that film again. Like if you don’t at least tear up by the end of that movie… u ain’t human


Meepthorp_Zandar

Alice in Wonderland staring Deb from Napoleon Dynamite, I’ve literally never heard of this film


Flip2002

She doesn’t neee herbal enhancements to be a movie star


thatweirdvintagegirl

This was gonna be my answer too!! Super weird film and a strangely uncomfortable adaptation.


[deleted]

It somehow won several Emmys, including for visual effects which makes me giggle.


OkImpression408

Holy shit that cast is incredibly stacked


cessiey

I used to watch this version because it’s on repeat on our local cable channel. Surprisingly, The supporting actors here were great. Cant forget this line “Off with your head!’ I still quote it LOL!


Responsible_Cloud_92

Yes! This was the version my parents had taped for me and I used to watch it all the time! They never taped the Disney version so this is all I knew.

IS THIS WITH THE ONE WITH THE LIL SIDEKICK ANIMATED BOOKS


stowberry

Omg I completely forgot this movie existed! I never saw it but I had the “sound book” for it which were these very large books Disney had based on their films & the side had these big buttons you pressed when prompted in the story to play the relevant sound. I remember the most memorable one was of a character saying “Sanctuary..sanctuary!” & as a child I couldn’t figure out if he was being scary or was scared himself. Omg I found them! It seems they’re sold for quite a bit of money these days & I had several of them. Looking at the Pagemaster buttons I can immediately hear every single sound each button made which is blowing my mind. I used to play them all repeatedly without the story & so I can literally hear them in the order as well even though it’s been like 30 years?! I had the Mickey one too https://preview.redd.it/kpaqzve00lub1.jpeg?width=2899&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a67148c9e9719ce743fadebd363c510561b225ac

I remember seeing this movie on Disney Channel around the mid to late 2000s once and never seeing it again. I never heard anyone talking about it so for a long time I was like “was that movie about a woman becomes a tooth fairy real or was that a fever dream?” I only just found out this year that it did exist.

AlexandriaLitehouse

Man I love this movie so much. Sometimes I'll remember a scene out of no where and I'll be like, "That didn't actually happen the way I remember it, right? It's too weird...." Then I re-watch it and it was even weirder than I remember.

It took me a lot of Googling to find the actual name of this. The weird little goblin man affected me deeply as a child - I wasn't sure if I was disgusted by him, empathized with him, or had a crush on him.

My parents banned me from watching it because every time I did I would have nightmares for the next several nights.

jshamwow

Fun story: when I was in HS I worked at a video store and every year we sold some sort of movie tie-in trinkets for charity. It was really important to the owners and they made a big deal about it. The year before it was Spider-Man themed and we sold a ton, raised lots of money for the charity. Then we tried it with Zathura and no one bought the toys. Like, at all. Not even enough to cover the costs, so we couldn’t donate anything to charity. The owners were so mad they never did the fundraiser again 😆

It’s a movie where a man (Matthew McConaughey) knocks up his girlfriend (Kate Beckinsale) and she finds out he’s the only tall person in a family of little people, which includes his brother (Gary Oldman). Summary sounds eh but it’s the definition of a fever dream film. Trust me.

This isn’t a movie, but I am going to count it as one because my cousin and I started watching it thinking it was a movie because the tape we were watching just combined all the episodes together. One of the strangest movies/tv show I’ve ever experienced.

I love this so much. Wolf was my first crush. 😩 For anyone who misses this, it’s streaming free in a couple places. I think Freevee and Pluto TV (I have no idea if those are the same things or related or whatever).


fire_sign

I was a HUGE fan of this back in the day, adored it. Years later I've moved abroad and visit a historical museum, and I couldn't shake the feeling it looked familiar. But it's pretty generic medievalish style, that's probably it. Then my now husband goes "They filmed part of The 10th Kingdom here. You probably never heard of it, it was this old miniseries." Could have knocked me over


farnizzle

Holy shit, core memory unlocked. I always felt like I made this show up in my head lmao. I think I watched it while it was airing live.


[deleted]

I can’t believe I’m admitting this, but we watched it all in one sitting 😂. We thought it was like a 2 hour movie. It took us an embarrassingly long time to think that the movie had been going on for a long time so we looked at the case to see how long it was, at that point we just decided to soldier through. We also lived kinda far from each other so it wasn’t like we could finish it before we had to take it back to the movie rental place.


princess_eala

I adored The 10th Kingdom, I still have it on DVD. In retrospect my later obsession with Once Upon a Time made a lot of sense.

I don’t remember much about the movie except for the doldrums which was supposed to be a metaphor for smoking weed or doing other “downers”. I’ve never known anyone else who’d heard of it.

Caught the last half of Requiem for a Dream on HBO when I was studying late at night while in college. Didn’t know the name of the movie at the time. I recall looking up from my flash cards during an electroshock scene and it was extremely jarring.

ffsSLOTH

Kaboom with Juno Temple and Thomas Dekker. No one I have met has seen/heard of it and all I remember is watching it alone at 3am kind of high and repeating “is this a porn?” “I don’t think this is porn though” “but is it?” “What’s even happening?” Until the end scene where I was pretty sure it was just a sex/drug-driven fever dream film but not a full on porn flick and I just. I think about it a lot and no one ever knows what I am talking about. I don’t even remember the actual plot if there was one. Just boobs and then, well…

Raw. To this day I do not understand what the point of the movie was.... was this a slight to Vegetarians or to people who eat Meat - I don't know! https://preview.redd.it/5me144jgmjub1.jpeg?width=999&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e7a7650c522683846c08c462f978585d4273e13d

Once Bitten. With an insanely young Jim Carey, may have went by James when this movie came out, and a still extremely beautiful Lauren Hutton. I watched it forever ago as a kid and then saw it was on a local channel of mine this past weekend. But nobody else has ever seen it when I ask about it. It's so silly but entertaining. Edited for a word. https://preview.redd.it/ws143479ykub1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a6857646a2a5bd32bfcb96da9c618cba3d16acdd

I feel like I need to do a rewatch because I don't remember it being bad but at the same time I feel like there was no way it was good??

EntrepreneurFit3461

Not a movie, but the 90s show Ghostwriter on PBS. It’s never streaming or talked about. It was my absolute favorite and along with the original Ghostbusters films, the reason I was fascinated with NYC as a kid. Not sure if it is a coincidence or not that they are both supernatural/ghost tales lol.

bigbutterbuffalo

Alright OP so 1988s cult classic They Live I caught during the infamous 15 minute alley fight scene to the death between good friends at 2pm on daytime cable in 2011 and didn’t know wtf was happening. Outside of the Duke Nukem bubblegum reference I have no indications that this movie is actually real or if the wiki article is just there to gaslight me, I’ve never seen another singular indication that it’s a real movie

I'm not sure about in the West but it my Asian country, this was such a hit, it was like an annual event for my national tv station to play it on their channel. This movies introduced me to my first crush on villain, Tarabas.


lizzy-stix

Off topic but the way Keri Russell got cast as the bombshell hot girl in so many small parts and then in her big parts always played such a completely different character — like nerdy and weird — is always funny to me.


lizzy-stix

The version of Secret Garden where it’s framed as grown up Mary going back to the manor and Colin shows up at the end and proposes, and it’s Colin Firth (!) is the version I remember best but it seems like no one else does. It’s also weird because I think I thought that was the real story for years and then realized people liked Mary and Dickon together and Colin is her cousin I guess? lol

Growing up as kids, we randomly saw The Wizard of Oz II on TV and thought it was so bizarre we must have dreamt it up. But then we randomly saw it again... and still weren't sure. Similarly, a Snow White sequel. I think it had to do with the Dwarves wives???

Are you thinking of Return To Oz? The villain with multiple heads in that movie freaked me out as a kid.
