Plus Q&A with Zach Galligan
Probably more than any of the other Spielberg produced 80s films it's Gremlins that I remember the most fondly. I don't actually know when I first saw the film but I had the toys and audio books and perhaps most memorably the text adventure game (take sword, behead gremlin).
Largely because of fantastic animatronics the film still stands up today and their are only a few moments that feel their age. As Galligan mentioned after the film it's the constant battle between Spielberg's wholesomeness and Dante's mischievousness that makes the film so effective. That both sides of the film work as well as they do is quite remarkable. It's a slight shame that it never quite reaches a truly magically place but it's still a great piece of entertainment.
